Official Commencement to another chapter of life

20th July 2005 marks the official commencement of another phase of my life.

I wasnt particularly looking forward to the ceremony. To me, it was just another event to attend to but i guess for the parents, it is something significant to see their child going on stage to get the hand shake from the dean and collect the empty folder. It somehow put their hearts at ease that their child made it, completed the education that they have worked hard to put them thru.

A friend was asking if i would cry or get emotional at the commencement. My reply was 'huh, it's just a ceremony, we have already started working and moved on in our lives.' But when one of the speakers was making his speech yesterday, all the memories of student life in SMU came flooding back to me. All the late nites of rushing for projects, the classes, the studying of test and exams, the jittery feeling before presentations, the dinners in school, late suppers, the camps and of course the laughter and fun... i'm thankful for each one of them cos it made my years in smu memorable. hehe...
