The begin of the new chapter
"Its a beutiful day.... yeah...!" Clear sky and the weather so nice to sleep in. But i have to bring my parent to city. I can't believe that they are leaving this afternoon. As my housemate told me, just felt that they just arrive... hhmm.....

My graduation was great. Rushing here and there to take photo. Preparing the dress and graduation hat. I have no ideal how to wear the gaun, but thank God that i have friend taught me about it when i was at uni. One day star.... ahh.... lots of photo taken. The ceremony was so boring... the "big people" (chancellor and senate....) they were giving speech... and it was so long. There is one moment i was falling asleep. But they speech was very encouraging. if i would really pay attention on them.

There is one very interesting thing to share. People all over were discussing whether should the string on the graduation hat on left or right. If left means not yet confirm you graduate, if right mean your already confirm. And confirmation is not from uni.... but the confirmation from chancellor. So they were sharing that the string should be on left side and when the chancellor shake your hand, then he will shift the string to right sde by saying" i confirm that your have fulfil the course requirment and eglible to graduate". After all this arguement.... the conclusion is just put it on left because...... everyone else is doing that. So when we were in hall.... we were asked to stand up and doing the confirmation thing....we were hoping the shifting of the string.... but it did not happen... aiya.....

It was so interesting to see them how they bow to pay respect to the chancellor... hold your front hat with your right hand and just bow a litter bit. That how they bowto each other. We were taught how to receive and chake hand with chancellor.
