Graduation day

Where am I these days?

I was honoured to be invited by my friend to attend her graduation ceremony on 13 Dec. On that day, Dunedin was full of joyness and sunshine. It was also a good sunny day to capture many many photos as you like. We took alot of photo on that day to capture every scene in campus so that my friend can have all beatiful memories where she have been studied in Otago Uni for 5 years. What I can say is the weather, people all perfect! Even though I am not the main character on that day, I still feel excited and happy when you see so many graduans and family took photo in front of the Otago Uni main building - the ClockTower. Such atmosphere reminded me so much on my graduation in 2001. My family members were with me that time, all the way down from North to South just to attend my graduation.

Around 3pm the graduans and audiences had taken their respective seats in the town hall and the background music was the live-play of the typical classic scotland music. The Cancellor started his "busy job"to award each graduan and shake hand with them. A graduan was so funny, when the MC called his name, his supporters at the audience seat shout out "Go, go Michael!" He was so relax and when he got up the stage, first, he shaked hand with the Cancellor and then, all of surprise, he approached the Cancellor and hug him tightly. I can see the expression of the Cancellor, he looked a bit lost and shocked. haha. the serious and formal atmosphere turned up to be comedy scene. Not bad. Every one was laughing happily.

After 1 and half hour, the graduation ceremony was ended. Everyone went out to wait for the graduans. I managed to see SB and her family members and managed to take photo with my friend - with her huge certificate. It looks great. Her dad and cousin were very proud of her! After a long day, we decided to walk back, and believe or not we order 3 boxes of huge pizza for only 4 persons. We really had a good day on 13 Dec. Happy!

To Anh, CK, Karen: Congratulations & all the best for your new working life soon! CHEERS!
