convocation

JULY 5, 2007




2 tickets only?? stingy!!


I have never attended any convocation despite being the eldest among my cousins. Here am i on the 5 July, accompanied by brother, and few friends, attending MY convocation. I still remembered it has been rainning cat and dog for the whole week. I stood there worried about the weather and hope it wont ruin the event, the photographing session and meet up with friends who will be going back for good. will it be gloomy? or rainning? or possibly sunny afternoon? I stood there asking myself if i did well enough for my family to feel proud? or am i proud of what i've achieved? I accepted the result and there is nothing that i can do to make it better. Life does not end here. This is where it begins.

This is not a ceremony where i receive my certificate on stage and go back party. On the contrary, it reminds me of my student's life, what i have been through, my studies, friendship and relationship, part time job and responsibility towards my family, how different am i compared to few years ago. how much i have changed?



teddy bears!!!

after today, i wont be thinking of exams when i have my dinner, i will miss the time we have to stay up late to burn mid night oil, watching football while doing assignment, reading notes while chatting on the net.. those are the days. well, never know when i will go back to study again!




it was indeed a very exciting day. be it as graduate or visitor, watching your colleague stepping out of uni (the proper way la!! :p) will never be a dull moment. end of uni life is the beginning of working life.

update

guys, been too busy lately and here are some updates from me...

life is so good so far and i am currently working at primark. this is the place i have been depending on for 3 months and shamefully i have to say the only place i must depend on. since i had graduated, i promise to be independent and try not to seek allowance from my parent. i am happy to earn some money, on the other hand i am sad to not work as what i should. there are plenty of events to jot down such as my convocation, my awesome 22nd birthday, and my sweet heart's birthday celebration, and now awaiting for christmas which is less than 2 weeks from now.wow!!

good news is that i was offered a job as graduate engineer starts in mid january...finally. i always believed that i am very unlucky because some of my friends had already started to work while i m still jobless. i actually have so much time this 3 months to come out with a new equation which isaac newton or einstein failed to discover. (peer pressure+family pressure+working pressure= total disastrous). it doesnt help when u have to serve awful customer everyday, showing cocky face and throw the items and money on the counter. all you can do is keep on smiling and hold your nerve. on the positive side, this will definitely make me to be more appreciative of what i've achieved. i walk this path a hard way and this feeling is so priceless and contented and my heart pounding ferociously.

now i promise to improve my family lifestyle. if it is mediocre, i'll make it good. if it is good, i'll make it better. i would like to thank my girlfriend especially for being so supportive. u know what you did and i need no say more. and also my buddy who prefer to remain anonymous. million thanks and i owe u.
