Diploma Graduation Ceremony

Well finally the day has arrived.... woke up at 6.45am to get myself ready and off to E&O hotel to attend the ceremony. So excited and nervous.. while we were in the dressing room, we were like joking here and there but deep inside we were abit nervous, especially me and Jesper didi as we were the 2nd and 3rd person to go up stage. It was kinda kind of Mr Lai to keep us calm by joking with us. Well, it helps.. at least I did maintain to smoothen abit. He asked me to put on his mortar board and take some pics.. funny ler. We entered the ballroom around 10.30am and the ceremony lasted for an hour. After that, photo session and tea time. It was awesome with all the VIPs, graduands and the beautiful scenary. I manage to take some photos with Dr. Tan, Dr. Chong, Mr. Fong, Ms Ng and Murdoch's prof. Gary Martin. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to take any photos together with Mr. Lai. He went off just after the ceremony...
Anyway, grandpa was very happy today, we took some photos at E&O's lobby, garden & etc. We even took some photos at dad's office and went for lunch after that. Although the day started to be abit stressful before the ceremony but in the end, it was worth it. Everyone was happy!!!

Diploma Graduation Rehearsal

Ah.... a day before the graduation ceremony. Excited? Nervous? Yes to all. Well it is my very first time. Woke up early this morning and head off to college with Tik to had lunch with Dao and also to follow up yesterday's enrolment. Annie came to pick us up around 1.30pm and so we went to E&O hotel to attend the rehearsal. Wow... the ball room was nice, the lights the ornament etc. We (Annie, Tik & I) took a few pictures together before the rehearsal. Around 2.30pm the rehearsal started. I had the high school feeling while we were all queueing up to get on stage. What an experience! The rehearsal took around 2 hours with all the speech and hand shaking rehearsal thingy. You know, the indoor and outdoor scenery at E&O was nice. Even the toilet itself had the 80's touch and so, who would miss the oppurtunity of snapping some photos? We took some photos together with Mr Lai and Ms. Ng before heading home. What a tiring day.... well had to prepare myself for tomorrow's graduation! Ah....have to wake up real early tomorrow... gotta get some sleep after ironing my gown.. Night!
