Graduation ball

A week has flown by since my last exam and I've been out everyday its crazy. I guess I'm fulfilling my promise to minimize time spent indoors after that exam period hibernation I had.

Last Friday was graduation ball, which is my third one ever, and this time I did the all the makeup and hair myself. The end result wasn't too different from getting it done by professionals (80%?) so I guess I'm not toooooo bad. 

Spent the longest time doing my nails:

Hair make (I've only used the curler less than 5times? it was a struggle XD )

The event was at the grand Mayfair Hotel. Forgot to bring my dslr so had to take photos from random sources i.e. the hundreds of other cameras there that night lol.

Ferrero Rocher tower at the entrance.

Random entertainment of the night. X) She was really lively.

 Awards from that night

 Chocolate fountain was fun. :)

 Dance floor after

Anyway, its unbelievably late (early?) now so I'll update again next time!

Well done

I thought the mini flag on my burger was an apt sign to conclude the night, when earlier in the day I finished my last ever exam paper for my undergraduate degree.

The paper ended at 1.10pm, returned my library book, paid fines, returned locker keys, recieved deposit, went out for lunch with coursemates, returned to the jcr for pizza leavers party and got a lsop mug, went home, went to get solution to declog completely clogged sink, went for dinner at Byron's down the street, finally after passing by it umpteen times and remembering my friend's recommendation of it.

Its a hip, causal place with nice, friendly staff. No frills, just burger. I must confessed I had the many images of burgers from seto ayumi's instagram stuck in my head (that girl seriously eats it for every meal) when I walked into this place.

Now at 2.20am, I'm exhausted, from the day, the thought of all the things I have to do before I leave London in 2-3weeks, and from the gravity of what this day means for me, the end of 4 years studying abroad, whose impact is immense and no doubt changed part of me and the course of my life forever, from the moment I took the flight here, at 19 years old of age, to the person I am now, typing this at nearly 23.

P.s. the 3pounds sink deblocker solution when dumped down the sink, caused the previously stale stink water to go glug-a-glugging down the sinkhole in 2mins, as if it was never blocked in the first place, the only sign being the scent of chlorine in the air. Now if only I can dump a bottle of solution on every problem and it just melts magically away....

I need sleep. goodnight. My summer awaits.

Magic pre-battle drink.

Looks like an advert, but well really I've been drinking this stuff (chicken essence from various brands) before most exams since primary school due to the extremely successful ad campaign by brand's essencse of chicken which showed a whole classroom of primary school kids each with a bottle on every exam table. XD but well i like the taste and placebo effects can be real. Anyway last bottle I have, last exam tomorrow! Its worth 6.7% of my degree, but I probably have put a disproportionate amount of effect into this one compared to all the other graded stuff. :/ bah at the very least I hope I pass!

Final paper!

Sunny weather photos taken right after my first paper.

The examiner said at the end: "Don't worry the sun is still out!" lol.

The parks in London are becoming like beaches again during the day.

Lovely weather for alfresco chilling.

There was a man playing violin outside the tube.

And I am ecstatic about my new choker which arrived in the post today! 

Its a really cheap yet delicate handmade find on amazon (love amazon so much, why don't we have it in Singapore!??) So tempted to get another in a lighter colour.

One more exam to go in a week and I have yet to start studying. Been on a break since the last paper yesterday morning. Need to concentrate, last ever exam (unless....I took a postgrad and excluding pre-reg...)!
