You've Come Along Way Baby...

Allow me to tale my ego for a trip, for the reason being that you don’t get this sense of accomplishment and pride. Everyday….



Damn RIGHTI have graduated.

I don’t know really where to begin, it’s really a weird experience, for those of you who have, I think you know what I mean, and for those who are about to go through this, it would be a moment worth savoring for.

I have been getting kind words of praise from, friends gamily and people who have seen me grown up, saying how proud they are of me and how far I have come til now.

In many ways, I do feel that these words heaped upon me I am no worthy, and in so,e way, I do feel I have come this far, and then some.

Going through 20 years of education.. wow… it just went by like that, from the disappointment of going into normal academic after PSLE, to the determintion of trying to get out of it and then later just not giving a fuck,a dn onto the GCE ‘O’s where for the first time I actually put my brains into good use, onto Poly where I was one failure away from getting kicked out, and onto University where I actually enjoyed and knew whaI was doing, I have come along way.

I do also feel that I have went against the odds and did something yjay would allow me to proceed onto my next phase of life, something that some people have fallen short of.

For people who are just reading random blogs, th ereason I am saying this is that I am severely visually handicap, in saying so, being placed in a normal education enviroment, and being able to keep up and go through it, with some help coming towards the end, and that I would have to thank Jennie Benjamin, my disability’s counselor and Fiona and Karen, without these 3, I dount that I never would have graduated.

I guess, I have already come this far at this point, thers’ still along more way to go. And the speeches and other remarks made by the academicnas during the graduation ceremony did touch a lot on what I have been thinking about and going through these past few months up til now.

I guess in some way I should give myself abit more credit, that's what some of my friends have been saying. I think in some ways I should be, loosen up abit and take things abit easier. But I think being focus and driven to what I want (which is yet to be defined) has nade ne to be what I am, just raw ambition which in some ways can be mis construde or be misplaced.

I guess in all, thank you to everyone who have dragged me through to this point, kicking, screaming or otherwise.

(have more pics.. bloggers on the fritz again.. will try again)
