DAY 0
Every last minute things at HIVE II
It was the day before BIRTH, many many helpers from DCMD and DID got together at HIVE II to help out with all the necessary tasks. Actually this had been going on since days before that day. As for me, I am in-charge of the Programs and Video team. The video in particular, had so many problems and was responsible for all the pimples on both Dino's and my face.
We had to make sure everything is in place. Some of the most important things include landyard, grad book and goodie tubes! We are stayed till very late and in fact, we only had an average of 2 hours of sleep that night, as we had to report at Marina at 6am and that we also need to prepare our personal portfolio and give-aways at that very last minute.
DAY 1
The first day at Birth 09
The first day at Birth 09
Immediately after our briefing at 6am, we started to set up our booths and every other important things for the grad show. It was quite fun actually, I like that! And I want to thank my heros who helped me put up my A0 board again and again as I am too weak to put.
And in a few hours time,
the shopping mall opened to its first crowd.
Some selected top students from each course became the first batch to step onto the runway for the media preview. Like what Hafi mentioned, the runway was on fire! And I always walk the runway with my supermodel Min Hua.
My whole family, Number 3 Aunty, Sam, Shendia, Marco, Wenjie, Phay Fang, Number 4 Aunty, Yee Min, Michelle, Joey, Karen, Zhi Hui, Kason, Kenji, Liling, Alisa and so many people came down to give their support to me despite the traffic from the IT Show.
DAY 2
Opening Day at Birth 09
Opening Day at Birth 09
On the opening day, we were given the graduation robes to wear. It instantly turned your very own APB to Harry Potter. This is the proud me with my enchanting booth. It could have won the Best Booth Award if not for Audrey Jack Lee's better booth design.
I love Audrey Jack Lee's booth!
My family, Wong Grace, Yuani, Zhen Wen, Jervic, Min Hua, Ru Xin, Weilun, Jennifer, Augustine, Khay Ma and even our beloved ex-classmate Shelen Choo Hong Yan was there to support despite the heavy human traffic caused by the IT show. Thank you all so much!
It is okay to look quirky in grad robes.

DAY 4
Final day at Birth 09
We had a Brand game done by my Programs team. I must kudos to Khai and Sophia for doing a tremendous job at hosting the game. I cannot think of any other pairs who can do better than them, not forgetting the ang-mo accents of theirs. And also, how Sophia sang the advertisement song for Mc'Donald, and how Khai openly called scolded some people.
There are a couple of nice people and a couple of ugly people over the other side of School of Design. Yun Liang happened to be one of the nicest souls around, really nice of him for being so cooperative despite the high APB demand, haha. Actually the most headache thing was the DID video. Now I have phoebia on video related tasks. Go away!
If there's an award called the funniest booth award,
you see for yourself, Dino will definitely win!
Ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you,
the 141 graduates from the School of Design Singapore Polytechnic.
The set of Birth at Marina Sqaure Central Atrium was torn down in the blink of an eye. Ziyi got her whole family to send her and move all things home. As for what happened during that moment, I have totally no idea because everyone was crying and feeling sad. I was very unconsious but I think Azhar told me something that night: "DCMD is going to lost you, APB." And I think I replied him with a "I know." Well, that's weird of me.
And when I regained my conscious,
we were already at La Pau Sa enjoying supper.
My 3 years in DCMD,
it has been a great journey.
To the next phase of life,
you are tough and I hate you,
but I am coming!
