Hurray!! Our convocation is finally over... and I've never been so proud of myself before. It has marked the end of my university days. My university days hasn't been very smooth... it has filled with sadness and anger. But now, I feel that I'm a brand, new whole me. I feel differently, and hopefully, will act differently (in a better way).
Last Friday was my convocation, there were many ppl who attended this very important ceremony. I was kinda late and to only find that I've forgotten abt my motarboard. Many many graduates and their family have already crowded outside the main hall entrance. I rushed over to get registered... to only find another friend of mine standing behind me. Hahha.. she too, was late! After registering, we went to this rm to get help to get dressed. I saw many familiar faces, once again, felt so comfortable with these ppl, whom names I may not know.
After getting help with the graduation gown, i went to find my friends and together went to find out seats. I was sittig there feeling very confortable, until this guy came and sat nxt to me. Haaha.. we gals have gave him a nickname "Doodo bird", coz often, we see him walking ard in sch eating a banana. lolz... Anyway, it was awhile later, when the staff came up to me and asked for my seat number and my name card. i showed her, only to discover that I have taken the wrong seat!
*paiseh*
I was told that my seat is actually at the other end of the hall.. faintz. Why can't they label the seats clearly. I mean, its so confusing.. we have seats that are a1, B2, C3.. and seats that are labelled as AA1, BB2 and CC3. Obviously we'll get it wrong ya? Anyway, I made my way to the other side of the hall.
We waited for the rest of the ppl to get settled in... and with the VIPs...
Graduates from other courses, diploma holders... blah blah.... I waited until my bum was getting so stiff... my course is the last course. haizz.. but luckily, I'm one of the 1st few to get on the stage to receive the cert and folder. Haaha... phew. From the booklet that was handled to everyone, I saw from the list that there aint many 2nd class honours students.. either tt, or the rest didn;t turn up for the convocation. Nevertheless, I still consider myself to be very lucky and blessed. =)
I took many photos... with my parents and friends. My mom even bought me a bouquet of flowers! heehe... I've never been so happy and yet tired. The other day when I was also this happy, was the day when I got to know my results when I checked thru the student portal. haaha.
But a pity tt gramma didnt turn up for the convocation, as she was in one of her 'moods' again.
After convocation, I went hm to rest and to pack my bag for our Tioman trip. I went thr with Hui... we both had a great time there. The sun, sand and sea... I really lurv the place. Its back to the nature... we even saw a mini waterfall. Its my 1st time swimming in the waterfall!! I was so excited. hahaa... even though was a little sunburnt. But we were happy! we even discovered this part of the island that is even betta den any other parts of the island. Its called the Juara Beach, located on the east side of Tioman Island. Nxt time, we'll visit this place instead.
During our trip, we also went to Reggis Island, where sharks have known to appear. I was kinda hesitant.. but I still went down nevertheless. I saw fishes that looked like mini swordfish, it scared the hell outta me. Haaha,.. I was splashing the water so that they'll keep a distance away from me. But Hui scolded me, coz it may make them attack me instead. Oops.. After getting on the boat, the tour guide told us that there was a mini shark that was just behind our butts!! Hearing this, it really freaked me out. One of our fella mates even swam round the island without her fins and life jacket! Our fella mates included a couple (husband frm s'pore, wife from Thai), a guy from Holland, 2 ladies frm France and Spain. Cool huh?
I'll upload the photos soon...
I am happy now... (except tt I've accidentally broke my specs while I was in Tioman, blame it on my clumsy fingers..)
Oh, and by the way, I got myself a new job.. Hopefully everything will be fine this time. I'll be starting on this new job on 2nd May, same time with Hui. I was telling her we shld compete to see who can stay longer on this job. haaha... its a kinda a gd competition eh?
