the graduation

as i fell into bed at 4am that night before.
after ironing my jubah and this ridiculously frilly shirt mom wanted me to wear for graduation.
my mind wondered as i looked back into the experience which started March 2006.

college; not form6.
advertising ; not law.
so many choices made.
so many decisions taken.

friends; life.
assignments; hanging out.
from the eddy(s), betty, allie and calvin.
for some reason i cant recall this adorable indian girl's name we met in sem1.
she left after sem1.
eddy(s) & calvin too soon after sem 3.
and then it was only A, B & C.
Alicia, Betty & Caryn. :)

chilling at 1st floor cafe (now the exam halls) =.=
rotting at the printing shop in summit.
catching RM5 bucks movies in summit.
Temaning each other (mostly betty's) shopping trips in summit.
breakfast with allie,
lunch with the duo.
dinner with betty.
the malay shop with RM3.90 nasi lemak + coffee/tea set.
point B! shopping for the "C cup bra" O.o
McDonalds; allie always picks out her pickle in her beef burger.
Mady's; she'd pick out the mushrooms in the mushroom rice set!
KFC; betty loved KFC.
drinking soup for lunch sometimes too!

how we'd chill in the 3rd floor's mac room with Mr Lim n Mr Nizam.
how we blindly yelled and giggled in the darkroom doing silkscreen.
spraying the frames in the toilet.
"panning" at the bus stop with god knows how many mamats staring at us wondering wtf we're doing.

the malay boys during videography class were awesome.
fiqs (she's a chick btw), wan, amir and so many more.
alif, zul complaining about their sore asses after riding to shah alam for a shoot.
so many memories.
running everywhere.

DUREX! what a topic it was.
the subject of preference. i dunno why?
copywriting finals Use a Condom.
Videography finals about STDs
Presentation skills finals about Durex too.
it was fun tho.

running everywhere chasing down glass bottle coke!
lugging 345 bottles in my car and everywhere.
miniature museum, gawd how i wanted to cry.
thank god for april n henry for their expertise.
the coke shoot, filix n lydia drinking hot coke in the hot sun;
posing for my shoots at 2pm in the afternoon.
:P

Prison of Art.
the previous grad showcase.
chenny, alex, sunsun, yy, soosoo, tarquin, aya ; Mr Jye!
the bunch of ppl which i met much later yet bonded so strongly too.
bunch so people so sincere and true.
we'd giggle the nights thru playing with leftover ice, going on trips to camerons.
as we talked about love, bonds, trust, friends, ex-s, sex and gawd i cant rmb any more.

after graduation, i started another chapter at LB.
tho graduation came late, 1 yr late.
seeing old friends. yumi, serene, joyce, cyndi, kylie, natalie, zhanhong, ANDRY!, hendy.
:)
it was still nice.

as everyone all dressed up, with their mortar boards positioned nicely.
checking buttons, "how do i look?" :)
checking in the mirror, checking each others hair and look.
smile! you walk up to shake hand n get the fake scroll.
pose for the camera. as proud parents grinned from ear to ear.
i saw this auntie super gungho.
sneaked infront with her digital camera, zooming 10x with the kuchirat screen.
hands shaking as she aims at her son walking up the stage.
she smiled at the grainy, blurred out shot. Proud! :)
when his daughter walked up,
proud dad with this adorable bow tie, stood up.
smiled as he clapped so loudly.
bobbing heads as you see the lines on graduate waited beside the stage.
waving at their parents. checking if everyone's there.

as we moved on to other chapters of our life.
the experience (to me at least) was indeed memorable.
yea, i gt 11As for spm.
but advertising was my choice, i'm pretty proud of that!
advertising design, the whole package of experience. I'm nt regretting a bit.
ok la... mayb a lil (the part where i din get to go on for a degree)
but everything happens for a reason.
what din kill u, will only make u stronger.
or else, i wouldnt be in LB now would i?

but thats a diff chapter of my life now.
another chapter i'll conquer and elaborate another time. :)

for now, YES I've Graduated!
woots!
when they annouced this year's top student.
3.99 cgpa?
ok la i was being rather kiasu.
ahhahaha. buthen c'mon 0.01 from full 4.0 flat!!
