Tomorrow is my BIG day

well… i’m not getting married (again) if that’s ur definition of the BIG day.

tomorrow is my FYP (Final Year Project) presentation, also known as viva for some ppl. i dunno but i prefer the term presentation to viva. viva sounds so… so advance. and so formal too it sort of gives me the chill when i say viva.

still doing some touch-ups, tying some loose ends… hopefully i won’t miss any and cross my fingers, i hope i can do OK tomorrow. volunteered to be the 1st presenter mainly bcos, i don’t like waiting… the longer the wait, the busier all the butterflies in my stomach get. fluttering fluttering fluttering… owh i couldn’t stand that. better get it over and done with quickly.

i had almost given up on my FYP – again. i thought, i’d better do it next semester, or next next semester… but then again, if i postponed, i don’t think i can do any better than this. i guess i’d still be procrastinating, whining instead of doing what i’m supposed to do, doing all the stuffs last minute – what difference will it make?

looking back, it’s been 5 years since i started this off-campus program. almost all of my batch graduated last year. i deferred a semester coz i had ellone. was thinking of deferring another semester when i was pregnant with xavier, but luckily i didn’t. if i did, i would probably be extending until nx year. and i didn’t do all that bad… when i was pregnant with xavier, i had still manage to score 3 As out of the 6 subjects taken during that semester.

and hope i’ll be graduating this year. i guess i’m quite lucky coz i am one of the few students who maintained 3 pointers and above for all the semesters… considering the facts that i’m a mother of two, a wife to a wonderful and supportive husband, an employee to the department yang kadang2 pandai tiba2 bz, a DIL, a daughter – i’d still manage to survive with quite good grades.

and i still have one burning question.

if i manage to graduate this year, do you think i should go for my convocation? i wasn’t that keen on going. maybe i should just rent the robe and go to some studio and take a graduation photo.

ok… time to do the touch ups!

Hi Mimi!
Lama already x dtg sini.

Going through studies while u have to juggle between work and family, it's not easy. But hey, u are almost there. That's amazing u know!

Why aren't you keen on going to your convo? What's the worst that could happen anyway... But if you feel much happier by not going, you can always celebrate the graduation elsewhere.

You should rent the robe, take a graduation photo, continue wearing the robe and head to KK and find some place nice for dinner with your hubby. You should also try renting another robe for your hubby as well.

Doing that, who cares about going to a lame convo?

chegu : hi chegu... nice to see u here :-) the presentation is over and i think i did OK... not great, not good, just OK... but enough for me to graduate this year... :-) hopefully i didn't miss any subject tho. sakali tingu, ada kunun subjek tertinggal... pingsan la sya... hehe

Anonymous : i'm not expecting anything bad at the convo anyway. in fact, i might even be the one who'll be giving away the valedictorian speech - kidding! but i might.. who knows hehehe...

and i am not keen on taking a photo with the robe too. i'd better take another wedding photo at the studio than take photo with the convocation robe. why would i waste my money renting the robe and rent for my hubby too? he's not even graduating so, i don't see the funny/fun in all that.

you've done very well leyana.. don't worry about skchung.. I think you were the best student yesterday.. half of the gang, sangkut..

congrats, and I think u should go for ur convo. Lame? I don't think so.. as a guru, it is really grateful to see the students receiving their scroll. Just my humble opinion ;)
