conGRADUATION on your BIG DAY!

I graduated today..Bachelor of Science, at the Ceremony 5 1.15pm, graduand number 139, at Auckland Town Hall..
After years of stint and tough fight (literally on exam days!!), finally I was awarded with this piece of paper that they claimed to have lifespan of 500 years.. So, somewhat I can imagine my legacy and saga continue for my future generations..
It was a good sunny day, and a happy occasion with close friends that I am truly grateful for. To acknowledge them..here goes the list(on no particular order or preferences--actually I take that back, it depends on who comes to my mind first)
1) My Dudu as always: She's there when things really get out of control, and when I don't have pocket to put my stuff. And yes, for the 3 beautiful SUNFLOWERS!! It's like getting a proposal from Jane to get married upon seeing the bouquet! (oh! don't worry bout spoiling the feeling, cause i foresee a diamond ring to go with a bouquet of flowers from Jane)
2) Asline, QiSu and Ah Jie: Endurance and relentless effort put through the 8 hours night sleep in the bus, and flying back down at wee hour in the morning. I am truthfully touched, not many, if any, would do things like they've done to me now. To Aslina, HAPPY GRADUATION too, indeed it's the best choice ever--SPRING GRADUATION! Ingatan tulus ikhlas and penghargaan to the 3 of you!!!
3) Post-Graduate Physics 2008: Aaron, Keith, Ka Fai, Jason, Simon, Katie, Steffen, Sarah, Joe--This year will always be memorable to me, not only meeting awesome PHYSICISTS like you all, but also the warm friendship bond we've! And thanks to the grad present too..totally kick ASS man!
4) Leo and Sam: Okay, these two guys are often serious when it comes to physics, but really they're real nice people! And pictures to follow as soon as I uploaded my memory card contents to let you know just what I mean by PHYSICISTS:Behind the scenes..
5) My ex-classmates since 2005: Keith, Elliot, Alastair--I am fortunate when it comes to having friends that welcomed me like me, right from the start of the day I stepped into uni..
6) Random people at Gina's Pizza & Bar: For the excellent Italian food, for the excellent service, and very friendly people working there--caught me by surprise with the candle on the ice cream, with a song that tunes like birthday song, but I reckoned it's saying something like HAPPY GRADUATION! And those patrons who actually clapped and congratulated me.. I'm very indeed touched!
7) My Juniors: Sarah and Wanie, thank you for the time and wishes and flower too! I'm..speechless I shall say!
8) To the absent friends and family: Had you been here with me on my BIG DAY, I'm even more elated. But it's the thoughts that matter the most, and I am channelling my thanks and gratitude in somewhat a phsycic way as well :)
My mission next is to upload these pictures here, Facebook, Friendster!

Love Letter..

Happy birthday my Malaysia

With age comes wisdom and insights, my love.

It had been wonderful years to be with you, no, more than wonderful!

I am confessing I’ve always fall in love with you from the day I’ve breath in that

minty flavored air of you. Your smell lingers around me, even when I’m now on miles away from you. I miss you, when we’re both young. Callous feet of mine running around your soil, your deep blue sea reflecting Sun’s golden rays of hope and new day upon my window, your as far as my eyes can see greenery lush surrounding me.. I miss all those.

But why is it that as we grow older, we seem to be parting my love? Why is it, that I can no longer recall passionate moments that we should’ve been sharing at this time, that I was once contented with swelling pride just by looking at you, disgusted and angry at your pathetic state nowadays? Where had we gone wrong my love?

Why did you let a bunch of bogus self-proclaimed leaders steer your sight into racial lenses? Why can’t you see me as I am, united in one with you? How can you pollute your own breaths with corruptions and political gimmicks? Did you not know that it’s killing both of us? When you let them squandering our childhood treasures for their sakes, of beautiful forests, of deep oil wells, of everything we promised to share, did you forgot about me? Did you turn your back on me, still walking barefooted to school, while letting them buy their own jet planes with our funds? Why my love, why?

I missed you, all this time. I long for our good old days, I want them so bad that I wish I can turn back the clock, and make time immemorial. Please don’t let them take you away from me. I want to shut their vociferous racist comments on me, cover your ears and don’t listen to them, but me. I want to break their sleek masks and strip out their unworthy positions, so close your eyes and only believe in me. They’re imposters, bound to make you consent their acts of greediness for your love for them. Stop this unnecessary sacrifice my love, come back to me and we can start afresh again. I’m waiting for you, with love, always.
