What to say!!! It's definitely one of the happiest days of my life and it's also a day when any that could went wrong did go wrong.
It's my CONVOCATION DAY!!! Yea.. congrats to all fellows who graduated this year from NTU Class of 2005!!! Finally we have passed through the tedious cycle of studying and taking exams. However we are on the path to an even tougher route ahead. The Long Road Ahead (haaa.. it's actually the title of my Political Economy textbook) is worth the journey so lets just sit back and relax to enjoy the ride.
Though supposedly to be a happy day, it didnt really being with a big bang, probably it bang on the wrong side... Haaa... Anyway the day started with wrong timing set. GOtta fetch my cousin to my granny's place for the day and there was slow traffic along the way. So that's the first setback. And then the maid was so blur, she herself said to wait for us at the carpark but she headed to the bus stop!!! Have to spend time waiting for her to see if she appear and after 5min decided to bring my cousin up myself!!! Grrr... she only make my blood boil and i think our eight characters clash like mad, always cannot stand her. Nvm.. then headed to school but was so jammy at KJE. Morning jam was so expected on KJE but on top of that there was a hit-and-run accident that happened at CCK. Goodness and guess what i actually saw the dead body of a motorcyclist when my dad drove past. The body was already covered with a white cloth but could still see the legs and the sight still haunts me, afterall it was the first time i saw a dead body from accident and how pleasant can it be when it is from an accident. Guess that was a super big omen for the day. Was caught in the jam for almost an hour and yes i was late for robing and registration but hack care already. I reached at ard 930am and started robing in the stuffy toilet. Luckily Jiayi's sister was there to be the saviour cuz i was too flustered to get anything right. And i only registered at 955 ard that time la.. luckily still in time.
Oh!!! And courtesy of Miao i tripped and fell off the stairs. Luckily there was my gown to cover my legs which were knelt on the floor after the fall. Immediate blue black lor!!! See how unlucky the day is!!!
ANyway i was safely sitted in the audi. So excited when i was inside. Didnt dare to move my head too much cuz was so afraid the mortar board will drop haaaa... Waited for an hour before it's finally my turn. So nervous!!! My shoes were loose and i was so afraid that the shoes will fell off.. haaa.. Guess i worry too much le.. But i just hope that all the things that are not supposed to go wrong went on smoothly cuz all the things that can go wrong did go wrong in the morning. Ok.. things began to smoothen after the ceremony and that's when all the photo taking and hi-hello-ing begin!!! Saw so many of my friends and classmates. Took alot of photos with them. AND had a little surprise...
Thia presented me the flowers first, so thankful and sweet of them!!! We got her a bouquet on her convo also ma.. haaa... but the roses were sweet!!! Thanks!!! THEN, came Dar. He bought the graduation bear!!! Heee... it was the kind i had looked forward to and my wish is granted!!! This is the first time i ever get my wish granted k.. Had never get what i ask for.. though there was always better presents. The vest is now sent for embroidery and will be back again in a weeks time!!! That's a sweet present too!!! And i love it!!!
