graduation!

who's graduating? not me, of course. i'm just barely started my third year. one and a half years more to go. phew! see, could you imagine how i can't wait for my graduation. it's not that i really want to work or something, it's just that i want to graduate as soon as possible. i want to feel how graduating is like. it must be great aye? what makes it even more significant is, if you graduated from University of Auckland, it's gonna be one of the memorable experience for whole life. i'm not bluffing. it's true because one of the interesting thing ( for me) is walking proudly from uni to Queen st. everytime i see graduates walking happily, i envy them.

Aotea Sq, Auckland CBD

today, i went through the whole proccess. from marching to bruch to the ceremony. i'm taking the photos for one of the seniors. as early as 9 in the morning, i went to Old Goverment House for some kind of graduates gathering before marching. i met Zarina ( the senior) and her mother and Zack. the road were blocked for the marching. pergh, memang bangga la. berjalan remamai pakai jubah semua tu. terkeja-kejar juga la untuk ambik gmbr Zarina sebab diornng memang jalan laju. right after, marching we went to Albert park for out door photo shoot. she was lucky because today is sunny. look up, hand to the chest! beria la bergambar sambil lempar 'topi'. jeles sgt

Faculty of Education, be proud of being part of it dude.

lepas dah penat bergambar, we went to the canopy just besides the Old Goverment House. i got the ticket for brunch. thanks zarina for that. all the lecturers from faculty of education was there including shyrell. kantoi ponteng kelas boley! dengan John siap ada. memang xleh bla la aku ni. shyrell was asking me why i was there. i told her that i'm taking zarina's photos. i told her that i went to Mondays's class. excuses accepted! she positively reply, ' you know what, it's good to experience thing like this. you'll be motivated'. yes, of course i did sampai rasa nak menangis. what makes me really touched was the speech of one of the head departments or dean or i don't know, i wasn't sure who she was 'we, in education field does not earn money as much as other fields do. being a teacher, we won't be well paid, it's not glamorous unlike engineering, doctor, architucture or whatsoever. but we are the most fundamental factors that contribute to civilised nation' ( ayat y telah di paraphrase, somehow la). rasa nak menagis boleh. yeah, that's true. the most important thing is you ought to be honest. you should to have will to help young people to become good people and so on. ok, cikgu membebel la pulak kan. next!
ok, she also acknowledged Malaysian students. ayat dia lebih kurang cm ni " we are proud to have students from all over the world. we have students from America, Korea, United Kingdom and we have a big group of Malaysian students. gulp, telan air liur. Malaysian students are well known sebab bijak-bijak excluding me. mostly dapat first class honour degree kot. kalau ada yang dapat second class honour pn, still in first division. otak memang gila la. bukan senang nak dapat first class sebab berapa orang je yang dapat.

at 1.30, i headed to the ceremony hall. subhanallah, like Sizuka said, it was like in Harry Potter movie. there was a guy playing piano at one corner of the hall. it was so loud. meremang bulu roma. nak tercirit pun ada tau. orang lain la. not me.tibe! semua orang masuk pakai jubah. ada orang putih, ada orang itam, ada orang coklat, ada orang sawo matang, ada orang kuning. semua la ada.Sizuka cerita, masa dia pergi yang hari isnin hari tu, ada pak cik Melayu tu menenagis tengok anak dia naik pentas. who doesn't right? when you see your daughter that you've brought up for more than 20 years graduate. it's becomes more significant because it's university of Auckland. number 1 university in New Zealand. everyone in New Zealand crazy over going to this university compared to other universities. last time, i asked one of the first year students either she likes this university. she told me that she studied very hard because she really wanna be part of the 'society' in this university. and finally she did. plus, University of Auckland is one of top universities in the world (saying this, i have no intention to brag at all. honestly, i'm so grateful to be given this opportunity. you must be cleverrrrrerrr than me. i'm sure. it's just a matter of rezeki).

ucapan sangat la lama. tertidur. bangun-bangun elok-elok group Malaysian yang naik stage. lepas semua dh naik, sambung tidur sebab kepenatan berlari jdi photographer la sangat.
thanks for reading!
