We Will Be the 40th!!

assalamualaikum...

I got up early today just for the sake of UKM's-39th Convocation Ceremony. I'm not graduating today. My turn will be next year perhaps..Insyallah. I was there today to meet up with seniors of course and to avenge last year regret of not having enough time to explore tapak pesta. haha, we reached UKM Bangi around 8.30 am and were greeted by empty stalls. Turns out that we were too early. Only those who were involves in clinical booth were seen scurrying here and there.


But fair enough, being early means that we are free to do as we like. We got all the time in the world to scan every booth and watched martial art demonstrations. There were silat, silambam, aikido and tae-kwan-do I think. there were also Upin Ipin mascot, who came to enlighten the children from colouring contest.

Upin & Ipin!!!

Later in the afternoon, we met up with Gervanne and Sun in Dewan Gemilang and set our journey to DECTAR. I called it journey because we walk all the way from Dewan Gemilang to Dectar. It was like reliving the time we had during orientation week in Bangi almost 3 years ago. yeah, it was tiring!

notes: we are senior STUDENT... NOT senior CITIZEN!

We finally reached DECTAR with my feet blistering. OUCH... Sadly, we haven't cross path with most of our graduating seniors. huhu, everyone was everywhere, and so we station ourselves somewhere in front of DECTAR...hoping to see any of them. After much time waiting, we only met few of them.

we were bathing under the hot sun while waiting for our bus back to PPUKM. everyone was drained out of energy. oh yes, we waited for almost an hour by the street, to catch up our ride! we had fun, and we had sunburn too~~

Next year will be our turn to donned the robe, walk up the stage, and received the scroll as the symbol of four years of joy and pain together. I couldn't possibly imagine what it will feel like, but one thing for sure, I'll definitely shed tears. Until that time, may we all be strong to face another year ahead..
