OUF!! I finally have time for myself now. My graduation ceremony was around a month ago and I have been super busy ever since. My sisters came to Shanghai for my graduation and afterwards, I was busy taking them around to buy goods for their new store. They left Shanghai last week to go to Hong Kong and now, they are back to Mauritius already. :(

My 2 little sisters. I took this photo when we were out shopping at Wujiaochang.

Evre since they left, I’ve been busy packing my things. I have to leave the International students dorm in a couple of days. I ‘have to leave’ because I’ve finished my studies. I’m on scholarship and the 4-year scholarship officially ends on the 31st of July. So it will be bye-bye dorm, no more monthly stipend from the government, no more studying, no more free books,no more free medical facilities, etc. I’ve almost finished packing my things by now and I still can’t get over the fact that I have so many stuffs. I’m going to move my things to my bf’s place tomorrow.

AND….. I’ll be going to Singapore for a month . :D ( and Malaysia too of course) I hope to be able to get a China tourist visa once in Singapore and then come back to Shanghai in September to ship my things to Mauritius etc. I still have no idea what I’ll be doing exactly. Job-hunting in China doesn’t seem likely. Not that I don’t want to but with all this Olympics thing going on, it’s hard to get a work visa now. Applying for other visas isn’t as easy as before. I know many people who have left China already. :( I love Shanghai but unless I somehow manage to get a job or an internship here(well anything that gets me a visa), I won’t be able to stay here. Anyway, I’ll see when I get back to Shanghai. Right now, I’m pretty excited about my trip to Singapore. I have been planning to go to Singapore since so long already and now I am finally going! hehe . I have bought my tickets already. Leaving in a couple of days. :flowers:

As for my graduation photos… Well, my camera chose that particular time to go kaput again. :x Therefore, no photos taken from my camera. I will have to email my classmates to ask them to send me some photos that their friends or relatives took. My sisters took a few pics with their own camera but they left Shanghai without transferring the photos to my computer. I will have to ask them to email me the photos when they get back to Mauritius. I managed to get a few pics taken by the other Mauritians in my university and a couple of pics taken by Desmond. I’ll upload more photos soon. :)

In the first pic is Karine who is 2 years younger than me and in the second pic is Celine who is 4 years younger than me. Somehow when I introduce my little sisters to my teachers and friends,most of them ask me if they are my ‘real’ sisters. :faint:
ah…and the flowers are from all the other Mauritians in my university. :) :flowers:

    You’re coming to Singapore?!? You’re coming to Singapore?!?

    Oh my gosh! For how long, and I am presuming that you’re here already? (: Welcome to the land of eternal humidity, and sunshine, and unpredictable rains! :P

    Speaking of graduation – I’ve seen most of the photos my friends have put up of their graduation on Facebook, and it’s sort of sad as I would no longer be seeing their faces around in school. (I’ve one more year to go.) Anyway, all the best in your future career and … Happy Graduation!
