After so long, I've finally graduated, officially.
Commencement was on the 9th.
Didn't manage to take much photo in the hall, cause I left my camera with my mum, and smartly left my bag (with my phone) with her too.
We had to wait for the ceremony to begin, since I don't have any camera to snap, I flipped through the program, and I saw this:
It's nothing much actually, cause the names of all the graduates were listed inside. But seeing it printed in something like that, made me feel important haha.
"Cum Laude" is the name of the Latin Honors I got, it's suppose to be pronounced as "coom lau-day" but I prefer to call it cum 'lau-der". Sounds sexual, I like.
This guy, he's the CEO of SIM, who has problem pronouncing simple words properly, words like program sounded like "poh-gram". At least it's some respite from his very very dull speech.
The Master of Ceremonies was not any much better, he made "congratulation" sound like a foreign word. I know I'm mean, but that's what I do to keep myself awake when I'm being put to sleep by long speeches.
By leaving my camera with my mum, I was hoping that she can capture me on stage, since I won't be able to see myself, and this is what she gave me:
The first 2 are of people I don't know, the 3rd one is my friend Grace, who went up on stage right before me, and then there's me. Cute. She said she did not realise the order of the presentation, and when she manage to find my name in the program, they were already onto the Masters.
After about 3 long torturous hours, we were finally done. Will update again when I get the proper individual shot and group shot when I return the grad gown. Hopefully I look better in those then what mum gave me.
After we were done, hung around to take come photos with May and Shu Yee. Photos are with them though, and some more with Grace, shall update this post soon.
Headed to the atrium for the buffet and went to take some more photos.
Really couldn't take it anymore, and went to change out of the gown.
