Clutch of Inspirations.

A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that 'individuality' is the key to success.

One and a half year is most certainly considered short compared to primary or secondary school life of 5 to 6 years. Nevertheless, time wouldn't be able to erase the precious memories we share all the days we spent together.

One good thing about studying A-levels right here in Miri is most of us A-levelians can make it to the graduation ceremony(or we can meet up often in these 3 months haha). Our graduation was naturally held at the Grand Ballroom, Eastwood Valley in the afternoon.

White was the trend for the day. Connie was an exception. ^^

Making use of the spare time before ceremony starts.

The event began with the group photo taking session. First row were us A-Levelians, 2nd - VIPs, 3rd & 4th - Accounting(blue hood) + Mechanical Eng.(golden hood).

After 5 speeches from part of the VIPs, they started to present us our certificates, or rather, an empty cylinder with a little note inside that instructed us to collect our certs outside after the ceremony.

I was the first of the 296 graduates to receive my 'cert', managing a very stiff smile while the photographers clicked away (=

I wonder what Dr. George Chan would do with the two toolboxes.

Our maths teacher, Ms.Winnie with her peace sign. XD

The entire ceremony finally ended after almost 3 hours or so. Our class people were swift enough to jump on the stage and dominate it so that we can camwhore up there.

Formal.

*transform into Dementors*

Our Head of A-level/Chem lecturer, Dr Lee.

Being random.

Sis and I. Tell your mum she did quite a nice job taking our pic =D

Connie and I during the long wait. The annoying hood kept falling at the sides.

With Sarikei boy Dian Ying.

Monkey and I. With Pollux appearing out of nowhere.

Sis, winy and I. No hands, one hand, two hands.

Don't mess with them.lol.

The big gang.

Buffet style dinner was provided at the Musical Corridor, which was unbearably torrid. I regret not eating more though, thinking of how much I paid x.x At least the mutton was quite nice, if not for some tough, unchewable pieces of them.

Ms Winnie and Ms May(Bio lecturer) with us. Most people had already left by then. Yeah, we're slow-pokes - slow at taking pics, slow at eating.

The photo marathon was yet to end after filling our tummies.

''Oh my gosh oh my gosh!!''

Bubi the fish-killer in dark blue shirt and Richard the comp.lab guy in blue shirt.

Promoting the cakes...50% off after 7p.m.!

Did we stayed for that long? Yes actually but we didn't go for the cakes. They don't allure me that much anyway...*hint of sour grapes* Back to topic, Mr. Anson came up with a chalet room key, saying it's vacant. You can guess what comes next.

Sitting comfortably in the cool chalet.

Some way to celebrate our graduation - watching Titanic.

We headed over to Desserts for desserts after Titanic. Such a nice shot of the chocolate drink ehh? Obviously not by me and my phone camera. Was David's piece of work.

We look like a bunch of office workers who just finished our jobs for the day.

To all my A-level friends and peers, may your dreams take you to the highest of your hopes and to the window of oppurtunities your future holds for you. All the best!
