Graduation Day! This is the day I’ve been waiting for ever since I entered college. All my sacrifices that I’ve made throughout my years in college had boiled down to this day. Looking back at the times I almost gave up when facing several tough situations that occurred when I was studying, I’m glad I did not raise the white flag at that time. If I did, I would not achieve what I have achieved and be where I am today. Anyway, lets go back to the original story, my graduation and its build up to it.
My preparation for my big day took place about two months before the actual day. I know.. you must be wondering what is there to prepare? You buy or use your formal working clothes, shoes and for the robe, it will be lend to you on that day.

Finally, after one and a half months of agony, I’ve chosen a seersucker (crinkle-like) white shirt with stripes of light gold. Safe isn’t it??? The greatest thing I like about this shirt is that it won’t go out of fashion and I don’t need to iron it! LOL.
Fast forward to the day before graduation day, I went to a photo studio nearby my house for a photo shoot in the morning because I personally feel more alert and by evening, my face will be slightly slimmer compared to the time when I first woke up. But due to mom’s consistent persuasion and a meeting with friends in the afternoon, I reluctantly agreed to have it scheduled in the morning. So, after a relaxing afternoon catching up with my friends who I have not seen for a while, I returned home to have dinner with my family to celebrate my graduation in advance as well as my brother’s belated birthday at a nearby restaurant. After the dinner, my family and I proceed back to the house to a cake cutting ceremony…LOL. Wow! What an eventful day…I was dead tired and had hit the sack by
