Today is the first day of our graduation rehearsal. I was planning to leave the house at like 8am but Momma was driving coz she needed the car to go to Tutong, and I feel bad for making her wait while I take my sweet time. So I decided to go at 745 instead...and what do you know. I was late! The "rehearsal" was supposed to start at 745! It wasn't really a rehearsal...it was just a briefing about the do's and don'ts on that day.
And any reason for NOT doing anything is because "it's not nice" or "it doesn't look nice"...because His Majesty is going to be there. So pretty much, the graduation is all a show for His Majesty. The graduates aren't really the main focus of the event. This just shows how much of a suck-up we all are. Not saying we shouldn't pay attention to HM, it is a great honor that I'll be receiving my certificate from the Sultan. But couldn't they think of a better reason than "it wouldn't look nice kan? Coz HM is watching..." Be creative lah can? Nobody likes suck-ups... (Ok i'll stop here. Those are my rants for the day)
So yeah Sam, stop laughing at how many times we have to rehearse for graduation. I'm getting my cert from the SULTAN OF BRUNEI, who are you getting yours from? hahaha loser!!
So anyway...I had only 4 hours of sleep last night. Stayed up to talk to my boy :) I didn't really mind waking up early coz I get to see a bunch of friends I have not seen for soooooo friggin damn long. Feels awesome to be surrounded by people again. =)
We were told to get the tickets for our guests to watch us graduate, and BA Education graduates are to get theirs from Counter 2. Mag, Shar, Lina, Kelly and I left the Main Hall and oh my god...like pasar malam man outside! These people were like asak-asak to get the tickets. Study so much still don't know how to queue. Sia soi.
So we went in the crowd of smelly people (eughh). A bunch of my friends came out of the crowd and I saw an opportunity to go in. Just then, a group of large girls came pushing their asses in our way saying "Hey, it should be our spot you were behind us!! Lalala..." Then another bunch of girls from my other side went "Heyy hey pregnant woman! Pregnant woman! Watch it!"
Kanina. I also pregnant lah can? Push push push...i fall down later HOW?! Nah I'm just kidding. I'm not. Hehehe! Bet your eyes terbeliak for a while huh?
After that, we just gave up and decided to get our tickets on Saturday. Just then, I saw Lan and she told me we have to find our numbers on a list so they can find the invitation card for us for the event. I saw a list stuck on a notice board and checked for my name....and I found it....and right next to my name, in bold, was:
Recipient of Book Prize.
HAHAHAHAHA OMGGGG I AM SOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!
I got the book prize in my first year and I never thought I will get it again. This is the best news I've heard in soooo long! Totally made my day!! =D And I'm seeing my niece and nephew again. Today is a good day :)
