i finally graduated





At three years ago, I was put myself to an University which I cant never picture myself as a University Student and I was thought that I will not enter at any local university and might end up pursue my study at private college. That was like six years ago when I just got my PMR (Penilaian Menengah Rendah or Lower Secondary Assessment ) and all my good friends passes with flying colours. I looked at them and saw them as a University student already and I put myself in 6years front and still struggling for get a better result for a requirement to enter a local university. Since then, me and all my goodfriend divided into separate class. They went to Elite Science Class I and was in Elite Class II. I started to lose hope since then and just follow with my flow, not trying hard and just enjoy my school-life with friends. Then, after SPM (Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia or Malaysian Certificate of Education) most of them went to Matriculation. I went to Pre-U High School taking for STPM (Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia or Malaysia Higher School Certificate). But hey, Thank God, I nailed my STPM result. Not with flying colour though its good enough to make me proud and says to anyone who ask like “Biasa biasa ja my result”. LOL!

I still remember the day when I received a letter. It was from University Sains Malaysia (USM) for Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perancangan Bandar dan Wilayah and decided to not take the offer. I was not ready leaving my family here and i still not ready for leaving KK. So, I hide the letter from my parent and said to them “I dont get any offer from UPU. Maybe I don’t have luck to enter local University and let me just try for Private College”. So I went to a cyber cafĂ© and register a course at one Private College that I like (Unisel. Because the dorm us so cool and that was the only reason why. Lol), and I met Easter there. Easter was my schoolmate and we were classmate in primary school asking me “What are you doing here? Isn’t that you supposed in USM now? I told her everything and asked me if I want to try UMS. That week was a “Minggu Rayuan for 2nd Intake” so I applied and I I got an offer for Ijazah Sarjana Muda Sosial Sains (Geografi) dengan Kepujian.

It was a very beautiful memories and  alot of experiences as an UMS Student. I learnt a lot during my campus life. I learn about friendship, financial management, life and talking about life, Life is really a journey. I get inspired by the simplest things to the biggest thing that I could ever imagine of. It’s the blessing of continuing education that life gives us, if we are open to the lessons. If we are willing to give in order to get. Things about family, spend time with friends, nurturing relationship, forgiving your enemies, enjoying life or experiencing peace, these things are put off and most of the time, there are never re-discovered. I've ALOT of friends. Like A LOT! from different schools and different courses. My first U-friend was Zimri James. He is Tourism student from Tawau and he was mt first roomate. It's too bad i cannot meet him on graduation day.

22nd October 2012 was my graduation day and one more memorable day was 19th October 2012 where I got finally hired from my current job. It’s more of an recount of what I had through during my graduation day. I wrote it into this blog so I can read it later another year and flashback all my beautiful memories in UMS. I heard a lot from my seniors about how proud and exciting the graduation day is. Few days before, I already arranged everything to make it memorable. I ordered my parents outfit and all bouquete for me and a few of my friends. I woke up early on 22nd and ironed my parents clothes, makeup my mom and prepared everything so I did not miss one thing. We were wearing all-blue that morning. Its me, my parent, my late-grandma, and my beloved aunty. They entered the hall and I went to the lobby to find my colleague. I was so touched because my seniors (Master’s student) were there looking for us and even helped us with the Jubah. We queued in line and when the door’s open we walked in with a background song something like pancaragam or whatever. The moment you walk in, all the families were stares at you with proud-smile. Yes, at this moment, I nearly cried. Its all worth it. Finally I made it. Mom and Dad, this is or you. Ina, this is for you and Aunty DD, thank you for share this beautiful moment with me.

After I received my scroll, I looked at the crowds and try to find my parent, they were at the upper gallery. I saw my dad, I waved to him and he took my sister and pointed at me, my mom stood up from her seat. They waved and me and.. I was shed in tears..

Being a student is actually where you find yourself. Discover for who you actually are. It's not just only for a ticket you to get a job. I know, i know that feeling where all the uncles and aunties or that-busybody-neighbour started to ask your parent about what will be your next plan but just let them. For Whatever you do, they will always have something to talk because you already make this far and they will not feel easy if you have a job and become a successful person in the next few years after graduation. So, just be happy. getting a job or not getting a job, please, just be proud of yourself for making this far. You worth a compliment. It’s not easy.

I graduated with 2nd Upper Class Degree and I am proud. I am proud because during my 3 years as a student, i have never copied anyone assignment and always be part of my group teams. I did all by my own self. Being a 2nd Class Degree with a developed soft skills isn't that bad (the interviewer was impressed by my PR). Also, Getting a job is not that beautiful as where you picture them (because you watch a lot of TV drama). It is not as fun as we thought. Dont rush. Take you time.

For you, who reading this, either you are currently a student or now a worker or a person who still seek for a job that suit you. No worry, Your time will come. It is all about time, when the time is right, then you will get what you want.

You might say neh,Whatever! but trust me, when the times come right in time, You'll smile and say
"So.. This is it hah"
