Convocation Ceremony

Photo taking in convocation gown consists of a four part series for me.
Part 1 on 12 June 07: Buying of gown and heading back to NTU to take with sign board
Part 2 on 9 July 07: Proper attire in NTU to take with sign board (again) and ADM (Art Design Media school)
Part 3 and 4 on 24 July 07: Actual convocation ceremony using two cameras, reason being that my batt died on me.

Part 1 on 12 June 07
Purchase gown and head back to NTU

Thanks to Jackie, we managed to get to the wu lu gown place to either purchase or rent it. I purchased mine, reason being that I could take with my other friends when they graduate next time, saves the hassle of going back to that place to return, and not much of a price difference. After that we head back to NTU to find kaka and while on the way out, we decided to stop by at the NTU signboard to take some convo pics since we had our gown with us.

With us in that kind of outfit, it had created quite a scene with people staring out from bus 199 -_-""" So you could imagine us trying to hide our faces whenever we heard buses coming, and our smiles would literally froze wishing that the photographer could quickly click for the shutter to move haha.


Requires some skills to capture the long signboard wor


Equal no. of guys and gals



Double degree in business and engineering hahaha (i wish!)

Part 3 on 24 July 07
Actual Convocation Ceremony

I never knew convocation could last one whole day haha! Was practically stuck in NTU from 910am till 5 plus in the evening! Many thanks to the well wishes, thoughts, gifts and presence from you guys... definitely brightens up my day! =D Sorry for all who has waited for me coz i have been running about... and apologies goes out to those who have to be my photographers and nanny who has to look after my bags. I really appreciate one and all who have participated in this hectic day haha! Thank you so much!!!

Reached NTU around 910am... which was kind of late considering that I havent put on my gown, motar board and registration. In addition, my bro couldn't get the extra tix so he had to sit outside the Coffee Club Express to rot. Since there wasnt much time to spare, everything was like a rush for me, and it didnt help that announcements of graduands to be seated kept repeating like last warnings!

Found my place in the auditorium and settled down quickly, chatting with the gal beside me. Think I was kinda relax throughout the ceremony as the stranger beside me was tellin me how nervous she felt and she was afraid that she might tripped on the stage. I guess this convocation ceremony isnt very important to me so I didnt felt the stress and pressure of looking good haha. I just treat this as a gathering with my friends to take pictures heehee.

So it was my turn to be on stage. I watched where I had to stand, for i'm worried that I might get too excited to walk all the way up the stage before my name is being called haha. Upon hearing my name, I walked up and looked at the president in his eyes for few seconds, became shy (haha!) and looked away. Dont ask me why I felt shy suddenly hahaha... for I have no clue either! Shook his hands, smile into the camera, him saying congratulations to me and me saying thank you in return, took the folder and continue walking pass the stage with my two hands holding the folder like I'm a waitress carrying a plate! Afterwhich I decided to swiftly hold it in one hand.... and I was telling myself to enjoy the process of being on the stage since I have waited so many hours for it haha! So the 'harry potter' show has ended and its time for photo taking!


My family


Dad and I



Me and Mum... My mum likes this pic haha



When its my Bro and I taking pics tog, we never seem to have any decent shots haha. Always ended up doing wacky poses till my parents shake their heads


The gal whom I sat beside in the auditorium


From NYJC to NTU HRC


I really think NTU is very thoughtful to have this mini stage near the reception. Its a good place for all graduands to take pictures together, and this picture consists of graduands from the specialisation of Human Resource Consulting



My JC gang... Another thoughful gesture by NTU... balloon as decoration with HRC imprinted on it


My HRC friends

Part 4 of 24 July 07 shall be continued when I receive pics from Suhui haha! Again, thanks to all who has made my day! =D
