Sixth College's commencement (for fm and xinyi):

Managed to catch xinyi amongst the crowd... =)

couldn't find fm initially... but thanks to his mum's sharp eyes, we finally saw him in the block of people that was furthest away from us... used so much zoom trying to snap good pictures of fm that i exhausted the camera batteries at the end of the commencement! here's darling in the midst of everyone...

trying to not look too bored by all the looonng speeches... =P

finally, the single important moment in the whole commencement! congrats to you dear!

after the commencement, outside the arena, where the fresh graduates were swamped with balloons, garlands, flowers.....

darling with his tassle moved to the left. officially graduated!

beautiful picture, with Geisel in the background...

Visiting Katlin and her husband, Mario, at their house in the evening... before leaving on our flight to SF the next morning... we'll miss you, katlin!

More pictures (our post-graduation trip, my Duke graduation, etcetc. ) will be up soon... stay tuned!
