although i'm not the best at expressing myself and i constantly push people away, i'm glad you didn't give up on me.

thank you for going with me to rent our gowns and for picking me up yesterday morning (although i'm sorry i was very late 😣).

thank you for always reminding me to never give up on myself.

thank you for the surprise you planned for me yesterday and for the gift you prepared for me.

thank you for your friendship since the day we met as SOI student leaders for orientation camp 'til today. ☺

some of the people i started off my journey in RP with.

although we're no longer as close as we used to be, i am very happy i met all of you (selfie crew hehe). ☺

particularly navin (second from the left in this photo), who was actually my very first friend in this school - and who was also a fellow ITE College West student before coming in to RP. thank you for encouraging me to strive on in this course (which about 95% of us from ITE didn't choose LOL), and i'm very touched you actually remembered our mini agreement to graduate together after three years in this school. we made it after all. =')

my dearest family ... thank you both for rushing down just to hang out for a bit and for playing a part in this milestone i've achieved. 💖💖

words alone aren't enough to express the gratitude i feel, particularly for my one and only biological sister, who has never failed to be with me and be there for me whenever i need it.

also to my soon-to-be brother-in-law, for all the things he has done for my sister and for our family.

& yes they brought our dog down. it was the cutest thing ever. 😅

very, very grateful to this lovely couple for taking time out of their schedules to come down and be a part of this significant day in my life. 💜

thank you for the bouquet and balloon that i'm holding in this photo. it's really beautiful and i love it!

thank you for being my BFF-turned-family.

thank you for never giving up on me.

thank you for every single memory we've shared together and i hope there will be more to come in future.

thank you - for you. 💖

so having you at my grad day turned out to be the surprise in store for me. ♥

it's been a good nine years of brotherhood and i'm glad we both won't ever give up on each other!

really happy that i still have you in my life despite all those crazy ups and downs we've been through.

i am so grateful for your existence in my life and i hope we'll continue to maintain this friendship 'til the very end.

without you, i would never have graduated.

thank you for all the times you've been there for me and for all the study help you've given me.

thank you for those times when you had to show me tough love like a strict elder brother hahaha.

thank you for always willingly lending me a helping hand and/or a listening ear whenever i needed it.

thank you for being a good academic role model - and for your friendship. 😇

from ITE College West days 'til yesterday. ♥

won't ever forget how we've complained about our course in RP one too many times, and how many times we both stressed over various modules yet striving on to do the best we could.

apart from our studies there definitely have been many lemons handed to us in life, but i guess it's safe to say that we're both tough enough to make lemonade out of them ahahaha.

it's been a hell of a rollercoaster ride for us both in RP particularly since our academic backgrounds aren't IT-based, but we made it.

we actually did it after all. ✌

been an honor to befriend this 'dynamic duo' since our days as SOI SLs. 💪

especially that adorable and beautiful lady in the second photograph ... kind of sad that we only started getting closer to each other just as our time in RP was coming to an end, but i'm still grateful for it anyway!

thank you both for all the fun and good memories~ 😘😘

thank you for being a good friend and thank you for being such a great role model to all of us. 🙆🙆

it's been a fun three years~

my self-proclaimed bestfriend HAHAHA.😜😜

thank you for your friendship these three years and for still being in my life.

---

a little upsetting that i failed to get photos with many of my DSM buddies ... but i'm glad i managed to get these two~

thank you guys SO MUCH for being there at my graduation - and for the karaoke session hahaha.

thank you guys for all the memories we've shared, be it good or bad.

thank you guys for always being there for me and for showing that you guys didn't give up on me ... it really does move me to no end.

thank you guys for your friendship and i really hope to still have all of you in my life. 💕

------------

thank you very much for the gift. ✨

who would have thought i'd make it in the end? my poor attendance, my pathetic grades, my disinterest in this course ... just me in general. let's not forget my lifestyle of constantly drinking, partying, slacking off, shopping, being with my friends - and some other personal matters which i won't reveal here ... i won't be surprised to know that many people felt that i wouldn't graduate LOL. but i did, and i'm kind of proud of myself for not giving up in this course, although it isn't really my forte nor my cup of tea hahaha. still, it's been a valuable learning journey filled with ups and downs, and i'm thankful for that. 😎

now, on to the next phase of life ... wonder what life has in store for me?

xoxo
