Hi everyone, im back hehe…you guys must be wondering where i went and how come so long never post any interesting stuff. The reason is because i went to my graduation convocation last saturday which is on 19/03/05. I have to wake up 5am in the morning and fetch my parents and go down to subang to fetch my girlfriend. After fetching my girlfriend then i follow behind my friend’s car to Inti main campus at Nilai, negeri sembilan. We reach there quite early though so we waited for the registration and after that went up to sports hall to take group photo. For almost 6 months since we left college, i didnt get to see all my classmates but i felt happy because today i get to see all of them.

After wearing our gown, we waited in our groups of courses. before taking our group photo, i keep adjusting my mortarboard because it is so tight until i feel that my head going to pop. Anyway i manage to survive the group photo eventhough i cant feel my head anymore due to the blood not flowing up the head. Later on the parents proceed to the multi purpose hall while we are brief on the graduation process which will take part in a short while.

There is a particular tradition which capture my attention which is the tassel flipping. the host tell us that before we accept our scroll, we must remain our tassel on the right side of the mortarboard. After receiving the scroll then we must flip it over to the left side. After the briefing then we follow the lead to the main hall and upon walking into the hall i can hear music played as if we are walking into the wedding hall or something. All graduates sits according to the their number. To everyone’s surprise, the host ask us to stand up and sing the college song…and i was like…college song? we have college song? everyone look at each other lol. Anyway we just moved our mouth when they play the song.

Later on the datuk gives some speeches, Inti president gives some speeches and the professor from conventry gives speeches and next is the scroll presenting ceremony. I was kinda nervous at that time and i keep staring at those people who went up stage and focus on how they walk, how they smile to the conventry professor and how they pose in front of the camera man. In my mind i keep on imagining myself on stage and keep reminding myself to flip the tassel to left after receiving the scroll eventhough there are alot of people who forget about it.

Anyway time passes by very fast when your mind is occupied and its my turn to go up stage. I still remember the moment walking up the stage was like forever….and the moment the head of programme call my name, the whole hall seems to be very quite, i cant hear anything, everything seems to be in slow motion and step by step i walk towards the professor and he give me a smile and shake hand…turn to camera man…smile and say thank you to professor and he say congratulation to me and i walk down the stage. oh yeah and not to forget, flip the tassel and yess!! i’ve graduated!!!!
