GRADUATE LO! 

Graduation was last Thursday, and this graduation marks the end of my 3 year studies in Hospitality and Tourism Management. I came into this course full of passion and dreams about being a Tour Guide or a Hotel Manager but I graduated with a second thought. HAHAHA. 

I considered the consequences of this industry first being the inconvenience of a weekend shift, now that I am having a weekly church routine, and in future a family routine. But I believe I can still pursue this industry.... but in the back of house departments. :D 3 years of being a HTM student sure gave me opportunities of growth, having to experience great friends, real life politics and the harsh reality of expectations, especially in Singapore. In the darkest moments of my life trying to achieve whatever benefits me, selfishly filling up my heart and my mind with the desire of achievements over achievements,  I found God. And strangely I found a complete twist of my life afterwards, achieving results and outcomes for God, more than for my own benefit, that leads me to learning how to love the people around me, giving selflessly to people who is in need. Not saying I am a perfect girl now, I still have struggles, still have envy moments and still wants achievements, but at least when I give in to loving selflessly, I am happy, because God loves me and is happy for me. 

Plus I've got great and awesome friends that stayed through the entire 3 years, since the day we met during orientation, to the day we changed class, to the day we parted for internship, till the day we graduate. This is what I called family, where I could finally feel a sense of belonging within this clique of friends. No words could describe how much I have cherished them, how happy I was whenever I see them. Gold Coast grad trip on July, and I can't wait! :D 

The business graduates of TP in the house of God. I'm proud of you guys :D 

Jin Feng, my mama jin whom I have no idea who she is until I entered Hope Church, joined the same LG, and then got her as my shepherd. Everything felt so God's planned because subsequently we became classmates, project mates, and then before we realise, I found myself telling her every single thing of my life. Someone who is so unexpected to come into my life, but someone who impacted my life so much throughout this 1.5 years of knowing her. :D Graduate lo! *gives the anime reaction* 

And lastly, I've got my mom and dad who didn't favour me to come into this course, didn't favour me to go Hangzhou for internship, but supported me in my decisions and subsequently am proud of me for everything I have achieved. :D My mom who without fail, facetime me almost every single day when I'm in Hangzhou, and my dad who without fail fetched me home from school if it is after 9pm. Their love became my pillar of support. :') 

Le Hangzhou moments. HAHAHAHAH. 

我们毕业了 :') 

Typical quote but... I really wish the best for my fellow coursemates. 

Thank you for being part of my HTM history.
