Convocation 2008
So I officially graduate today with Convocation 2008. According to Mom, everyone should attend stuff like that because it's a 'Once In A Lifetime' opportunity, and hence I found myself decked out in my graduation gown with the silly cap and wedged among similar Harry Potter wannabes as we flapped around Suntec City Ballrooms 1-3 for our convocation. Perhaps it was meant to be grand and solemn but I did find the procession of deans, lecturers, guests of honor excessively dramatic because of the epic-move-sounding music and them dressed in their various gowns to signify the various educational levels each graduated with. I was happy to see my classmates again though. What better way to do a little catching up than at a convocation and all dressed silly together? Still it was a good reminder for me as Boo Junfeng [I had no idea he was from Lasalle until today] gave a short speech as the cohort's best student, naturally what with all the awards he has won, and what struck me most was this:
"Basically this certificate stands for 'Welcome to the real world.'"
Time to start looking for a job.
