Losing my status

Today is the last day in which I am still a "student". After today, I am no longer officially a student, even though in fact I have ceased to be one for two months. My library membership (I am told) ends today, and so does my public transport concession.

So, I am no longer a student. I have to shoulder the responsibilities of any other adult on the streets--support oneself, and most likely others as well, with my own efforts. No more concessions, no more special rates. I am supposed to foot the full rate from now on (not very welcoming thought, though I had been prepared for that for years).

So I am no longer a student. No, I didn't spend my last day as a student partying or anything, celebrating my escape from the school system and the restrictions that entails. I spent it working late in the office, typing the minutes after a meeting. Sounds apt, doesn't it? The end of school life really means a full working life. And I was so tired after work that I dozed off the moment I landed a seat on the train home.

So there, just my mopings for the day. Welcome to the working world.

I should really be a Gemini, or a Libra, definitely not a Virgo.

Thanks boss, for not making us stay late so far this week.

Shaoyun's wedding

It's been a long time, but only coz I've been busy.

Today is Shaoyun's big wedding day. This guy sure has surprises up his sleeve. Amongst us he appeared the least likely to get hitched, yet here he is, losing his bachelorhood even before he got his Bachelor's!

I thought I could start the countdown list only a few years down the road. Guess I can start one now. Ok, so who's next on the list? *heh heh*

Congratulations, Shaoyun and Estelle! May you have a blessed marriage and stay blessed forever.
