No more a student :(

Almost a year ago, i embarked on the greatest adventure in my life up till now, and came home with a whole load of wonderful experiences, memories, new friends and of course, the main reason i went in the first place, a piece of paper! Not any old piece of paper tho, one that enables me to become a part the big group of ppl joining the rat race known as 'degree-holders'~

Feel a bit sheepish writing this on 27th May 2010 when i graduated in September 2009 and attended the convocation on February 28, 2010.. hehe.. well, just thought that as the new batch of students make their way over to UK this year, its time to for the 'been there, done that' (or quite simply, me..) to close finish this chapter and get on with life after completing my studies..

Held at the KLCC Convention Centre, the ceremony was quite grand, with organ music and foreign VIP guests (and also costed a bomb, the maicsa convo is cheaper by half and comes in a package :*).. Basically what i remember is getting there, putting on gown and mortarboard (which kept threatening to fall off my big head, grr..) and running ard taking photos with everyone.. which means --- picturetime! :)

half of my classmates in LJMU :)

4/5 of my assignment group in UK

With our course leader, Mr Colin St Paul, whom i hear is retiring soon to spend more time with his grand-daughter.. aww..

Got dragged into this group picture with some coursemates~~

Love the cute candid shot, hehehe~

with my classmate for god knows how many years, Adelynne a.k.a. SpIdEr, in the hall where we collected our gowns.. :)

After entering the plenary hall where the ceremony was to be held, we were seated alphabetically to wait our turn to get on stage to collect our scrolls.. super hot with the spotlights on us, one girl behind me even felt faint... entertained ourselves by sms-ing each other making funny comments about the speeches and the VIPs in front.. :D Then, after collecting our scrolls, we entertained ourselves some more by creating a ruckus at the back while taking group photo after group photo, hahahha...

attempt at cute poses failed~ @.@~

half-squatting pose damn ugly :(

Loads more pics, but dont want to bore you to death, do I? hehe.. The ceremony lasted until well over 1pm, and we werent allowed to leave the hall... after that my two guests, who were my mum and cousin, skipped the complimentary buffet lunch to go to Madam Kwan's for lunch with my cousin-in-law and their 2 sons.. :):)

Cuteness!

Didnt know a convocation should be so exhausting, and i tot the studying was the tiring part, hehe.. No more student life for me (even if i take a postgraduate course, it wont be the same as being a carefree student lor, sobs..), time to be a responsible adult.. boohoo~

The moral of the story is, live your student life to the fullest, it wont ever come back again if you dont fully utilise it.. Take heed~~ :P

PS:

Ede and Ravencroft, Robe Makers, somehow reminds me of Harry Potter.. hahaha~
