Graduation

Yesterday was my second time of graduation in life. Though it was just a small ceremony at Marriot Hotel, I still felt excited for it as I knew this would be the last to wear on academic gown.
It was very different in terms of environment and ambience as compare to my first convocation in UKM. This time, I was the only one from my course to have graduation in Singapore. For me, it seemed a little bit of “one man show”, I am not sure how to describe it but it was definitely different to have a group of coursemates celebrating together. Luckily I met two friends there and so coincident, one just sat beside me.

Instead of saying one man show, I should be blessed that I have my family to support me. It seemed like each of them played an important role in a supporting team to me! My elder brother became my assistant cum video-cameraman. He accompanied me to the hotel first, carried things for me and helped me to put on gown. My sister, my make up advisor; the makeup tools, clothes, accessories and even the heels are all sponsored by her. My second brother, the driver; he took one day off for both my elder brother and me as our driver. My sis-in-law, general assistant cum operator; to look after any matters at home. My little rascal nephew and baby niece, entertainer cum supporter; my nephew was even more excited than me, he ran here and there to really “entertain” us (phew, tough job to chase after him) and my little baby niece, lying down in the pram, once in a while, show her sweet smile. My cousin, the part time camera girl and supporter; bought me 3 big polyester cartoon flowers (yeah, she said it will last longer and it is washable =s). See, how lucky I am to have such a lovely family! Oh gosh, I love you all!!!


The ceremony was held in a small ballroom with 75 graduates and it was only last for 45 minutes. “Graduate Choo San, Yeow, specialize in Molecular Biotechnology.” Gosh, the moment my name was called, I suddenly felt so proud of myself. Oh yes, I made it, one of my dreams in life! Opps, no no no….that’s not dream anymore, I have made it real!


The feeling was good with my certificates on hands but I deeply know that the journey has just started. There is still a long way ahead, waiting for me to venture and pave my career pathway. Gambate, Susan!
