and yet another graduation...

I completed my Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching and Learning which was offered by my office for people like me who just completed their posgraduate degree then, dunno how to teach university students. At first, the course was to be one of the requirements to get confirmed, so I dutifully enroled myself. Then, after I went through two modules, my office announced that they no longer require that course to be a part of the confirmation criteria. So, I was frustrated at first, because I had spent my two weeks in a row attending, numerous assignments and two exams. I had to go through another 5 modules. But, dengan semangat yang tidak cepat putus asa (I'm too lazy to think how should I write this in English), I decided to finish the course.

 

So, last Friday night, I graduated with 3.61 CGPA. HAHAHAHAHA...boleh tahan jugak saya nih..I never got anything higher than 3.5 before this, not even for my bachelor's. 15 students (people like me lah) attended the graduation in Hilton. I was number 13 in the list and I was thinking, hmm..what an unlucky number.. A few days ago, I took my robe and my mortar board from CALM and the guy handed me my robe. I was shocked to see my robe was PINK!!!Despite of my nickname Woman in Pink, I have to admit that I don't really like that colour ON me. If it was soft pink, or dark pink, maybe can be accepted..but, this was a striking pink one! I've decided not to put up any pics of me wearing the robe :). 15 of us wore our robes that night, macam air bandung bergerak, we paraded into the hall with our colleagues and bosses staring us in awe..Well, that's what I felt.

It felt like a real convocation, just the environment is different because we actually know the people in the hall..I mean, REALLY know well. The big boss handed over our certs. The most embarassing thing happened to me. I forgot to pause and look to the camera men when I was on stage. I was about to take the certs away from the big boss after I shook his hand and move away, then the big boss told me this, "eh, eh..ambik gambar lok.". He didn't let go of the certs when he said this.hahahha...so, I turned and smiled at the camera men. I dunno how the pic will turn out..sigh...

 

After that, we all ate and the biggest award was handed over to a colleague from social sciences. She won the most outstanding online course with RM1, 000 prize for last semester. We ooooo...ed and aaa...ed when we heard she won that much. We didn't know there was money involved, hayah...should have known. I only used the system to put up my notes and notices. Have to learn more how to use the system. RM1 k involve...so, not bad what... Can be used to pay downpayment for an LV bag. hahahahahhahaha....
