Graduation

So 3 years came to an end quickly. I am a fresh graduate. (Okay, this is a late post)

I'm very grateful for the friends who have been with me throughout my degree.

We used to be in the same CG when I was in my 1st and 2nd year. How time flies! Now we are all in 3 separate cell groups. Praise God for growth!

This bunch survived 3 years. (many not in picture). For more pictures go to facebook k hehe. I made sure I'm catching up with them because our group was so small, I cannot afford to be left behind in my studies =)

Then there's my family. Who always believed that I can go through this course. Although I often said that it's almost impossible to pass a certain subject. I did not fail any of my papers =) 
A in a few
B in most
and there are the Cs and  the Ds for subjects I disliked.

My current CG members. A bunch who loves fellowship and food. Thanks for being there!

The bunch I studied late nights with. I couldn't stay up like them. We used to stay in the same block.

My housemates whom have seen more sides of me than my other coursemates hehe. (I notice Yen Nee is in most of the pictures)

Above all I thank Abba Father for friends and family. For protection in health, for keeping me sane, for guiding me. Throughout these 3 years I have grown so much. 

Just a side note...
On the 1st of September 2004, I asked my dad what he wanted for his birthday present. 
He said, "I wish that one of my children will graduate from university"
That was all he wanted.
I thought... that's easy. At the age of 15 I innocently had in mind that everyone graduates from university..
Because I learnt from BM karangan that if we studied hard we will get to 'menara gading'
My sis was the first to graduate from her college doing Diploma in Nursing
I have graduated from university doing Bachelor of Science (Hons) Actuarial Science.


So, happy very belated birthday, dad. Now what do you want for 2005-2011? haha. Overdued presents.

Uncountable

Everyday I encounter new experiences with my students. Some pleasant, some, not so pleasant. But most of the time I bring home good memories. Too many memories I could not type it all in here.

This school, these children, they changed my life. I received another "Thank You" card from my student yesterday. As much as they thanked me, I could not thank them enough for bringing such joy to my life =)

Of course behind the scene, there's a lot of hard work and it could be very tiring. I wake up every morning have sore arms, or legs due to too much squatting and scrubbing. I almost puked twice while cleaning the toilet yesterday. heh. Worst toilet cleaning experience ever.

But I'm thankful to be given this opportunity to experience working in this place where every teacher teaches with passion and diligence, and students learn with excitement.
