First graduation I attended

Went to Amelene's graduation last Saturday at the Royal Exhibition Building. It's my first time attending a friend's graduation...and it's an honour to be able to attend my ex-roommate (at INTEC)'s graduation! From the day we first met at the INTEC hostel office and found out we were roommates, till 5 years later today...Who would have known that we both ended up in Melbourne together to pursue our degrees despite being at different universities.  And to be able to attend her graduation too!

In the Melbourne Museum opposite the Royal Exhibition Building....thank you aunty uncle for still remembering me even though it's been 4 years since we last met at Kuching! *so surprised and touched*



Outside the graduation hall

During our chat I asked Amelene, where's your mortarboard (the square graduation cap)? And she said Melbourne Uni undergraduates don't get mortarboard, only Masters (and above) do...So I said 'then you won't be able to throw mortarboards up into the air, like how we used to talk about/dream of doing during our INTEC times...' to which she said, 'Yeah 梦想破坏了'....aiks =P

Congratulations Amelene and happy birthday in advance (tomorrow)! All the best in your future and may your dreams come true... Hope we get to meet again in Malaysia =D
