Because We Like It

There, just like I said we would, we were flaunting our newly minted degrees around town in the afternoon heat of 2 sundays ago.

Guess there's a crazy, fun-loving hornie inside each of us.

On our way back from the Esplanade, a Chinese National tour guide stopped us to enquire, in Mandarin, why us local grads go round taking pictures in our gowns.

My immediate retort, unintendedly belligerent in Mandarin, "Because we like it!"

Jeff claims she was taken aback, but isn't that the truth?

"Our Hearts, Our Hopes, Our Aims"

"Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul.
Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal."

What can I say? Tossing our mortarboards in the air is customary classic cliché.

Every time we flip through our ever-yellowing photo albums, let's remember that we're a bunch of friends like none other. Friends that'll last a lifetime.

P.S. I actually did another round of pictures with my army friends, but it ain't the same.
