Graduation + Jolin

Aha!! I finally graduated from C.I.M.P. as an Honours Student. Lalala. Honours. Sounds nice. Has a funky ring to it. So you see. Despite being lazy and eternally last minute, i still scraped some good grades.

I arrived early in school to have some sorta farewell breakfast with my classmates. Was supposed to be sentimental and sad, but we ended up playing chor dai di as always, while, at the same time, refusing to donate money to Wingie's St John's Charity Conman Dinner.

Then after that we buggered off to TR4.12 to collect our gowns. LoL. Those gowns were terribly stuffy: large, sweeping and billowing black fabrics. Me and ChowLin aka Tommy were delighted to discover large sleeve-like thingies on the gown, like those in the Ancient-Chinese movies' outfits. Big long sleeves in which the characters stow loads of gold ingots that never seem to be fall out. We pretended to stuff my camera up my sleeve. Hehe. Oh and speaking of my camera.. i was blur as a sotong as usual. I left my battery in the charger and forgot to bring it along.
X( Had to call sis to bring it for me.

Anyway the graduation was typical. Bunch of speeches from this old Canadian guy (who was actually attempting to psycho us to study in Canada), Susan Cheah (horrendous, with lots of prefixes b4 her name). Elizabeth Lee gave one of her famous metaphoric speeches, this time comparing us with shiny shells on the beach. Rosemary recited, or rather, read the If poem by Rudyard Kipling. Man! That poem is sickening. Have been seeing a lot, first during form 5 english classes for SPM, then inside Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. Anyway. Good of her to include it, though. Ali's speech was short and sweet, and i thank him for that. It sucks to have a droning speech that seem to last for hours.

After returning my gown and collecting my deposit money (which i do not intend to return to dad. hehe), i went wif my family to Sunway Resort for their buffet. Despite being in a 5 star hotel.. the Sun and Surf's buffet is just below average. The food is just ok, not great, not orgasmic or whatever. Just ok. I went around eating loads of mini sandwiches, which tasted good. Their chicken satay was grotesque. The taste of ginger inside was just too strong. Yux. One thing i like about it is the variety of desserts available. The stuff were attractive. A small section dedicated to dessert. Some of the little thingies' name i do not even know. Souffles? Parfait? Whatever? There was this divine chocolate mousse thing in a cup and it was fantastic. So after stuffing ourselves full, me and sis went off in search of the Kelana Jaya Stadium.

And we found it. And 3 hours later we were standing inside, watching Jolin Tsai sing her head open. The concert was sensational, secara overall. The lights were fascinating. Her voice was wonderful. The people in the crowd were screaming themselves hoarse. The fireworks that shot out of the stage were resplendent. Whhooosh! The only thing bad (apart from having to stand due to cacat tickets) was Jolin's outfits. They were simply awful. Brown sent me a website that said she was given warning to wear extra clothing (so as not to show indecent parts of body, i.e. mendedahkan aurat) in Malaysia. Man.. So first she turned up in this ultramarine knee-length leotard with a small blue skirt attached to it. Was terrible. Terrible. And she had a big blue flower on her head.. Then she put this strange bathing robe thing over the leotard and proceeded to dance with some jellyfishes. After that she changed into a puffy princess gown, which was ok la.. And next she wore this white coat in which she marched, brandishing a rifle here and there. And she stripped it off to reveal this gold top with shiny blue track pants. @_@ Finally she appeared wearing black shorts with some ostrich-esque feathery stuff behind. So as i said, overall it was good. But i think Malaysia should not be so bloody-damn conservative. So what if people showed off their legs, or cleavage. Or whatever. It's ridiculous. I mean, we didn't get to see Jolin's horse riding scene becoz of that.
