My "Half"-Convocation

*plays Hogwarts song*

Yesterday, I attended the convocation in my university. Although I was not one of those who would be a doctor, pharmacist or dentist, we received our certificate of completion of Phase 1. So, we'll be going to a clinical school soon, depending on what we've chosen. So, I'll be moving to Seremban to complete the second phase. That's why it's only "half" a convocation.

Anyway, the convocation was divided into 2 sessions. I was in the second session. I woke up at about 7.30am in the morning and realised that my graduation robe was not ironed. So, it was pretty much a last minute work. Lucky, I didn't end up being late. :)

Since Pam stayed over at my place and accompanied me to my half-convo, she was also my photographer for the day.

*Hogwarts song still playing :P*

..The Lecturers..

..Me and Nirmal again ^^..

She gave a really good speech. She said something like 'In life, if you end up last, people would call you a loser. In med school, if you end up last, people would still call you a doctor.' I wish I could remember more details about the speech but if there was any impact made, it was that point which she said. Well, there was one other thing too... Students compete to be the best in their batch but no matter what, there'll only be on spot at the top. Then, many turned to look at Thomas (the top scorer). hehe.

As for the collection of the scroll, well, I kind of screwed up a bit. I didn't quite look at the camera. Oh well, I'll do better in 2 1/2 years time. :D

..Me and Benedict..

..Sandip, Me and Benedict (who did that on purpose)..

..Dr Ranjit and I..

After taking the batch photograph, I returned my robe and collected my academic transript and my certificate. I had lunch (which wasn't that nice) and went home to sleep for a few hours. I was really tired. It was an eventful day I suppose. Perhaps the one in 2 1/2 years would be a more exciting one. :)
