My Thoughts on Convocation 2006

Convocation marks the end of my quest for a degree. When i attended Meryl's convocation 2 weeks back, I had imagined that I will feel very strongly during my own convocation. Feelings of relief, saddness, happiness, gratitude all mixed together.

Today, I didn't feel anything much. My friends asked me "So are you feeling happy?" All I could say was "ok only lor."

The end of this journey marks the begining of another journey. Just like 3 years ago when I was about to enter uni, I am filled w uncertainity abt the future. The people I will meet.. and my life in general. University changed my life tremendously-it was during this period of 3 years that I grew up a lot and faced the many problems of a grown up.

It really jus seems like yesterday when I carried my yellow nike duffle bag and alighted the SBS bus at Hall 14. It seems like yesterday when Mabel talked (incessantly, may i add) to me during foc. It seems like yesterday when i trudged myself to class and got to know Peiying and Chuanjin. The jubilence of completing the darn MSAccess IT project is still fresh in my memory.

After doing some thinking, I think convocation is a very sad day. Going through all those memories in my head made me teared a bit. The future, perilous and fraught with obstacles, makes me wanna just hide in a corner of my room...

So many memories... I can just go on and on. But jus like everytime I embark on a new journey, these memories start to fade, the feelings start to fade. And then it won't seem so painful that I have moved on to a new chapter of my life.
