Life's been really busy!
And finally today, under the sweltering hot sun, my graduation ceremony 2009 begun.
Nervous? Definitely! Nope, not the night before, but the moment when i was seated and watching others walked up the stage, receiving their cert holder. Yup,that's when i felt butterflies fluttering all over my tummy. My seat felt like a butt toaster, i couldnt quite sit properly and was fidgeting all the time. When the host announced that we have to get ready our i/c and seat ticket to be able to collect our cert, i was mortified. Shouted in my head, "Oh dammit! MY i/c is with mum! Should i go get it now or later? What do i do, what do i do?!"
Asked the guy whom i know, but not very familiar with, a seat away from me, whether he had his i/c with him. And he said yes. I panicked. As if i didnt know that his answer doesnt determine the need of me having my i/c with me. I still asked a silly question like that. Crap, i gotta get up my seat and look for my parents to fish out my i/c from one of either 3 bags. Why the hell we brought so many bags? One is my mum's handbag, 2nd, my graduation robe plastic bag, last, the video cam and digi cam bag. Brilliante?
After being chided by dad for being such a scatterbrain, I got hold of my I/c,so tight. Yes, i'm afraid it'll melt into butter and slip off my hands.
Back at my seat, fidgeting for another half and hour,texting Shikin(regarding her insanity about burke & yang from greys anatomy, she'd rather watch GA at home than to attend this ceromony!)Watching our friends receive their cert holder and cheering them on.
FINALLY, it's my turn to get up and join the queue. Could feel my legs going a lil wobbly! Photographers are taking close up shots, thousand pairs of eyes are staring! I'm wearing heels! Will i trip and fall? How should i pose for the camera, should i smile or look serious? How should i tidy my hair? Lotsa mixed thoughts in my head! Oh my, adrenaline escalating inside me.
Blink of an eye, i'm already at the stairs of the stage. One usher asked if i was nervous, and i replied yes i really am! She smiled and congratulated me. Another usher told me i had nice heels! Smiled and thanked her, and i'm ready to "catwalk" down to shake my handsome director of EEE Dr. Dave Chong's hands! I brisk walked and shook Dave's hands, got hold of my cert holder and smiled at the camera. Tadah! All's over!
Now, zooming into what happened after the whole graduation ceremony.
I was like a busy bee, buzzing around,snapping pictures with familiar faces.
All ye friends i've made throughout my whole poly life. One by one i shall name...Shikin, Fu Ming(helped him snap a family portrait), Raymond, Wenna, Wen Ming, Dzul Fadhli, Larissa,Shikin's friend Amirah, Pei Rong, Jing Yong, Angus, Melvin, Melvin's personal tutor, Ms Tan Min Inn, Andy, and finally, Raudhah(just before i rushed off with my parents and sis!)
I was sooooo excited and of course, sweating like a pig, which is why most of my pictures turned out badly. I wasnt at my best, with dishevelled hair and a sweaty face! Such a pity!:( It didnt help with my dad rushing me to leave cos he's rushing for time and needs to fetch us back. Disappointment T.T I really wished i could stay on longer and snap more pics and hang out with my friends. I might not be able to see them anymore in future u see. Different paths, different lives. Sobs. And on my way home, inside dad's car, one of my classmates texted me to ask me to take a pic with him. Too late:(
But hey, overall, i'm still pleased i took pictures with most of the people i love. Oh! My precious memories of this faithful day will be locked in my head n heart forever till death takes me! DRAMA! :D
