July 27th, 2008First update after my graduation
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 .
( 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.
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.


With my 2 little sisters.(who are younger than me in terms of age but they are both taller than me,especially when I’m not wearing high heels.) Snif snif
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.

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!
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!
