My Big, Graduation Day

It's been a long time, I didn't write something for my blog. It also reflects how busy I am for the last three months. Working life indeed, totally different from my student life. It is like an account, work always debit and credit. The account will never stop until the day we quit the job. But, fortunately I still doing the things that I love to do.

Although it's too late for this, but it never be too late for something if you willing to do it.

Back to the purpose of this blog. After a hard work of three years, finally the day  had arrived and  it was 2nd October 2011. When I started the journey, I had 0 % interest towards it, 0% support from my family especially my parents that I will complete it. Thankfully, I got this 100% spirit and sweet, helpful coursemates that make my life more meaningful, and build up my confidence that I can do it.

Coming from a over-protective family, I was being protected by my parents, and people always describe me as an useless person. I was not allowed to participate in any school trips/activities. I was not allowed to hang out with my friends. Due to this, I always wonder what the actual real outside world is, how challenging it is ? 

The day I graduated, means a lot to me. (1) The day allow me to prove to my parents that I can do what they always think I cannot do. Although they are not very happy when I told them the real purpose why I chose to take the course at the first place, but I do really hope they will understand in future. Overall, they are still proud of me. (2) The day allow me to see how many true friends I have, I'm not asking for graduation gift, but how many of them can really remember and greet me, or come over and celebrate the day with me. Thanks to all of you, I appreciate it.

A total of 8 courses were in the last session, and Marine Biology was the third last. In other words, we have to wait, wait, wait for our turns to come. Too bad, I gave my camera to my daddy, if not ...hehe... =)

I guess my name is hard to pronounce and that is why people always pronounce my last name wrongly. Even on my graduation day, when I received my scroll. Arghhhh...Why ? Why can't you guys get it correct ? Sob T.T. 

The session took about 3 hours, started at 2.30 and ended at 5.30. After we came out from the hall, we're welcomed by people, who we doesn't know, and most importantly is the mother of Marine Biology, Prof. Madya Dr. Siti Aishah Abdullah, my coordinator, my FYP supervisor. Even though, she unable to be in the hall for the day due to her medical appointment, but she did come over to celebrate with us our final moment.

Next, my BioM juniors, the most memorable graduation gift I ever received. A hand made cards from 7 of them. To make 12 different cards with different designs are not an easy job, but they really did it. Appreciate you people card, now it is hanging in front of my working desk. Sweet.
