I was appointed to do the presentation show again and plus the back ground music trough out the event. Since there will be a 2 sessions of presentations, I've decided to make 2 categories of presentation, one showing the scenery of Volgograd, and the other one is candid photos of all the graduates.

i stayed at my uncle's at Old Klang Road. To avoid traffic, we departed really really early that day and reached the hotel at 7.20am.

mum n me managed to pull a smile even before our soporness wear off.

Arrived at 7.20am, i saw no one.There was only one hall manager briefing through our tables.Even the ribbons for the chairs were still dangling. My uncle had to leave for work, so we gathered to take the 1st shot of the day.(even the uni logo was not put up yet)


While waiting for the person in charge of the control room to arrive, me and my family waited outside the hall..


9.30am


The music i've chosen are not only sentimental ones, but also the genres from pop to RnB, from blue jazz to rock which meet the current hype.I know how to mobilize the environment so that people's mood will swing according to the setting.
Here i would like to share something personal, during the slideshow presentation while i was managing the laptop linked to the projector,(yes, the event manager,Zul helped me to set up a personal working space for me to run the tech), a parent neared me:"do you have sentimental music?(shouting to overcome the music)...convocation plays only sentimental music, not music like this....i mean the orchestra music....you should use music without lyrics",
" sorry uncle, now we are showing the slideshow,the background music is set, sentimental ones are on their way..."
"yea..you tell them to change, it's not the way you use music like this..."
them?it was me okay?
tension.

Pap came forward to snap me at my working space,smile la...(just right beside the steps to the stage)

Pap! eerr....the wedding picture on the LED is not related..




Phew...but.but but..it's not the end of the story yet....we waited for almost 1.5hours for my uncle to fetch us..damn long and damn massive traffic at Sungai Wang..and his car showed sign of mati enjin...as soon as we reached Pavilion..it stopped right in front of the main entrance..yes!! the red wira!! that's US! sigh....it died right in the middle of the most crowded area of KL...while waiting for the mechanic, me n mum escaped from the scotch and went into PAvilion...at least we came out with a better solution rather than standing under the fireball and sweat like fat kid in the cannibal camp..
P/S: It was my 1st time going to Pavilion...

My graduation hindsights (School of 2009)

We all have waited long, for this day to come, when the tension and excitement clashed, salad feelings. When this is the last day of your education life, what would you think of yourself later?Speaking to you today marks a milestone in my life, i'm now 24 years old, and this shall be the 1st one.

It wasn't initially my choice for making this far until my dad signed me in with Russian Resources while i was attending my HSC( Aussie Higher School Certificate) in one of the leading college. After saying good-bye to my friends who i just bonded with, i shifted my stuffs from the college hostel and moved to a room where i would stay during my preparatory course designed by RR. There, i met people who i live with till today..here in Volgograd.

Russia welcomed me

Dad's handwriting..he even filled the form beforehand.

Admission letter from Volgograd State Medical Academy by then.Oh yeah, initially i was enrolled in Nizhny Novgorod. Then some twist of luck, i got someone to exchange admission with me.

I would say this very small city of Volgograd has grown much. From a very remote (in the sense of time, space, connection with the outer world) deserted town into a rather now-tourist-friendly one. There are too much to spell out here, i would rather put this aside and write about my hindsight.


I was raised from a very oriental family, where scores and performances in classes are the main interest and expectation from parents and relatives. The stereotype of getting good grades equivalent to enrolling in medicine stil banally embraced in most Asian family. I would say, i myself is one of the example.But i never regret in muster in this field.(No offense here dad, if you are reading..love you)


This would be the hardest and tedious lesson of all to learn. People would set happiness as their goal of life and would work their ass off just to get the fleeting predictable feel. Take my word for it, you find happiness when you get your car, condo, materials that satisfy your mortal greed tru hard work and sacrifice. Joy, by contrast, is unpredictable and it comes from pursuing interests and passions that do not obviously result in happiness. I find joy during the progress of this education, thus not an event cz education in medicine is a never ending progress...and if you see medicine would make you rich in coming, I'm very sorry for you..cz you stil need to learn this lesson..



I would never think that today is the day i get a greencard for freedom.nah! It's totally another way round. It's a stepping stone to work the rest of your lives, so don't be too happy to start. Stretching out academic life and enjoy it before time of sucking your lungs and get a mortgage, kids and car, house payments, and last but not least, a lifetime of servitude to bozos. Your beloved ones worked very hard to get you to this point. So, don't deprive them.

Don't rush. Be patient and passionate.

Lemme bring you a tour around my exam hall..

I'm looking forward to 26th June 2009.
