Curtin Sarawak Graduation Ceremony 2007

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

It’s over! After spending 4 years in Miri, Sarawak - I finally graduated. Well, some of you might say that a degree is just the beginning… for me, at least it marks the end of one chapter in my life. :P

The graduation night was totally awesome! This year, we had the largest number of graduates from Curtin Sarawak and also the largest turnout.. a total of 1200+ people - guests and graduates combined. Also, this year’s graduation was held in Imperial Hotel which IMHO is a much better venue compared to Mega Hotel. Even though we had such a large number of graduates - the entire ceremony went very smoothly and was very organized. Kudos to the organizing committee for a job well done!

As the ex-Student Council president; I was invited to give a short speech on that night. It was definitely a great experience for me speaking in front of such a large crowd… not to mention in front of all the VVIPs as well! Nonetheless, THANK GOD everything went well although I did stutter a bit during my speech… :P

Possibly the best surprise for me was when I was called on stage and was presented a nice memento by the Pro-vice Chancellor before the ceremony concludes. Heck, that picture even came out on the local chinese newspaper the next day! :)

All in all… it was indeed a very memorable night.
