Finally Graduated.
I've finally graduated from Republic Polytechnic. With a full diploma certificate to call it as my own... and also something as an evidence to show to the MOE personnals in the future, ONLY if I get through the interview.
Brought proud smiles on many faces, cheers from elated students, tears of joy from the persona collecting their own individual diploma folder and an anxiety look of 'am-i-looking-good-on-my-graduation-gown' on many graduands' faces
After 4 years of pushing myself just to get the diploma on my hands, the folder is finally onto my hands. Lecturers who once knew me suddenly got very excited seeing me on the stage, getting the diploma from the Director of my school and I have one who literally sent a SMS to my former diploma's Dean, announcing to her that I've finally graduated.
Congratulatory pats on my shoulder from people whom I've met, the screams of "ahhhhhhhh!!! You've finally GRADUATED!!! I'm soooo proudd of youuu!!", the excited chuckles from Mr. Goh and a 5-min long, emotional hug from Ms. Anne Tan whom I am so grateful to her till now, are something that I really considered those memories as priceless. I know that I'm a repeated student and it's a fact that I've no longer hide because it is something that I shouldn't be fearing about.
I am happy and by looking at the folder, I've finally realized one thing:
Education is lifelong journey. Nothing is easy...unless you buy the certificate from some place. Otherwise, work hard to get where you want...to go.
This is something, that I will always remember, for life.
Meanwhile, there are no photos taken during and after the ceremony as I have left halfway for Iris' examination recital in LaSelle. I will, however, take a family and self portraits in my own graduation gown, from a studio. But that will happen only after my dearest Mummy comes back from Melaka; she's being invited to attend the 1st Asean Nurses Seminar and apparently, the one and only representing her hospital. The whole entire family is proud of her and she's going there from the 16th April to 18th April. I will, meanwhile, go to the temple, get something for her on her smooth journey way up to Melaka before she sets off. I will pray, that she will have a smooth journey up to Melaka and back to Singapore.
I will upload those photos in Facebook once I've taken them with my family. This will be the first time that my family is having a full family portrait and to see Dad and Uncle wearing suits and ties for a 2nd time after 2 decades ago (the last time that they wore is when my Dad is having his own wedding and my Uncle is his bestman), is really quite an eye-opener!
Very looking forward to that though! Heh.
