SC Installation

This was yesterday's update.

Today is the day. Yes indeed. Big memorable day for the 41 of us. Memory making in the process. Yes, our installation. And as usual ,what other moss way to start than to arrive late. How ever-so-typical of me. To arrive fashionable late. I really need to work on my punctuality. But turns out that there was no pre-rehearsal or anything. Which was a relief. But I was very very nervous. Firstly, my heels were high and I was unaccustomed to it. Did I mention that I was an advocate of low comfy heels? I do agree, fellow women, that they make your thighs look slimmer but seriously, tolerating hours of pain just for the admiration from gawking men? I think not. Forgive me for being sexist, but I fing it shallow that some men judge women by the height of their heels. Which is something we should be ashamed of.

But I digress.

I arrived at the church, looking visibly flustered with my trademark shoebag. And extremely clumsy-footed too. Guin helped me with the blue ribbon in my hair. After which we basically hung around waiting for 1930 to come. I was increasingly apprehensive, dead worried for my loose shoes and the absence of my parents. Tried calling them, but mobiles were uncontactable. Typical. Sod's Law at work, I presume. Boredom decided to channel intself into a constructive outlet, resulting in yes, you guessed it, CAMWHORING! Not that I am an narcissist or anything, but these things tend to relieve stress. But of course, you can't blame me. I come from a generation that Googles itself, goodness.

Eventually, 1930 did come, together with His Grace and all the relevant people. But as usual, my family was nowhere to be seen. I gave up calling them. We walked in, in what I pray hoped was a graceful confident manner. If you heard clunky clumsy hobbles, it was probably yours truly. The word elegance probably never exists in my dictionary. And I doubt it ever will. So shoot me. I was really glad to see the turnout from cj and other jcs as well. Not to mention my wonderful classmates, who came despite the long Monday. It was indescribable. And as for the mass, it went without a hitch. Except for the part when his grace ended the sermon and he didn't really cue the emcee, so we spent a few minutes wondering what in the world were they waiting for.

I met up with long lost friends as well. Especially the SJI crowd in VJ, whom I last saw ages ago. Dejavu again. Nice. Reception was nice as well, but I still wished that I had eaten. The chicken wings looked good(superifical me), but then I couldn't resist camwhoring session with ca, so I passed it to my brother, who yes you guessed it, gobbled it all up. I went home ravenous, like gnawing at my innards. Haha.

But of course, as all good things must come to end, I ended up staying late at night at 1am doing EOM. Back to reality. Sigh.

Thank you to all who attended, and of course to marcus too, who was "there in spirit". Lol.
