and so i graduated.
That’s Nori, a dear friend who came up from London. He missed his graduation last year so he’s catching up on lost time :p
with Feng and Joao, friends from Tawney 10
with the Malaysian gang – Bee Nee, Neena and Yau Fai
with Annukka who’ll be spending the next year in Chile (i think). She was the brainchild behind EMSC08
with Michael and Caroline, who have been very kind to me all these years here, and the best English speakers of Malay I know
with Joao & Merit, both headed for Oxford under scholarship, doing the exact same course – forced migration! 
with David Sanders, the only head of department I know of who sings and plays the guitar. He was so sporting to perform at MuSic on Top to help raise money for the conference. Trivia – he once had a choice to tour with his band in America or to come to Essex to do his Masters. He chose to do his Masters.
with Kyriaki, the best RSN coordinator in Essex. She’ll make a wonderful mother :p
with the rest of the Government department
Many more pics.. will upload onto flickr soon.
Now to pray, plan and prepare for life ahead.
