It's TARC Graduation Season!

Finally, after waiting for 10 months, the day has arrived! Starting from the day before (2 Nov 2012) we were busy especially for my family because we were going for family photo shooting. And because the gown must be returned at the same day at which the graduation ceremony was held, we have to squeeze our photo shooting into Friday afternoon. So this made us to start busy since Friday morning until Saturday night, and i have to attend class on Sunday, making myself having not enough sleep for 3 days consecutively. This was a true tiring event that i ended up sleep until 9 am on Monday morning. 

I was late to collect gown on Friday and ended up taking S size with large cutting because there were no difference between my sis' M size and my S size. How ridiculous! And we headed to studio for photo shooting at around 3.30pm allowing time for makeup and hairdo. The makeup was very nice and i tried to observe so that i could create similar effect with my own makeup on the graduation day though i still have a lot to learn. The photo shooting was fine and the photos were nice. We went back home at around 7pm and settled down everything by almost 9pm. So we had not much time for Facebook and rest. The most pity person was my beloved sister who still need to do revision for next week test! 

So i woke up at 6.30am for makeup and breakfast. I spent about one hour for makeup and i felt this is really ridiculous! I didn't even have time to properly eat breakfast. Arriving at college, i dashed to registration point and was then busy helping each other to wear gown. Mom was busy choosing the bouquets for us. 

We entered the hall at about 920am and the ceremony started. There were no VIP this year except the principal of Tunku Abdul Rahman so the ceremony start punctually at 10am.

After the ceremony, we were busy taking photos around the college. The surrounding was packed with graduates and it's quite hard for us to move around with such huge and heavy gown. And one fact mustn't be ignored - IT'S REALLY HOT!!! 

I didn't capture much, only these: 

Babe

Sister

Family

Assignment team members

Lecturer - Dr. Janice

So after the ceremony we headed for food and home later. Babe was too tired that he fell deeply asleep until the dinner time and we dashed to Queensbay for a dinner with friends. 

Thanks to Ting Ern for all the UK funny stories! It made up our night. 

At last, i slept at 12.30am. LOL. On Sunday, i took the photos. 

And that's it. The end of TARC life. Doubt i will miss it, but it is certain that i will miss TARC more than Sum Sun and PCGHS - more things to learn, more people to interact, more challenging life and more excitement.

Nature of human

Well, let's make a quick summary on some of my thoughts and discussions tonight.

1. Humans often look and listen to matters from one sided. 
This is absolutely true because i have experienced it not long ago. When people start to avoid you and show their annoyance on you, you will know something has happened, without giving you any chance on clarifying the situation. The most upset fact is the one who often influences people in this way is the one "SEEM" to be very pity and being bullied by the one who "DOESN'T EVEN HAVE CHANCE TO CLARIFY", and due to sympathy people often believe the one "SEEM TO BE BULLIED". Most of those people are intelligent people and those who think themselves intelligent and correct. I was once people like this that i made conclusion very quick and thoughtless. And i would say my babe who is not this type of people helps a lot in triggering my thought from different sides.

Nevertheless this situation can't be helped as this is human nature. Less people will view things from two sides, rationally and objectively. So we have this called “潛意識”.

2. Humans often can't differentiate between discussing and criticizing. 
For instance, a friend posts a status that will trigger discussion. You go and comment something against that status stance because you do not agree with the view and so you share out your thoughts. However most of the time people will think you purposely object and make him/her "faceless", or that you hate that so much that you have to mess up the comments of their status. Well, in reality, most of the times these are just discussion. People will definitely have different stances and this is completely fine. Discussion often triggers thoughts to view things from different side and we learn from that. Sadly most of the people do not know how to LEARN.

Nevertheless humans are emotional animals. People will often facts with emotions without realizing they allow their emotions to overtake the brain cells in interpreting things.

3. Humans often think themselves deserves a lot of things. 
Okay, we can view this from guys' point-of-view and girls'. Very sorry but i have to say girls nowadays are very, or perhaps too, dominant in relationship. I often see quotes like "girls who are helping guys to save money shouldn't be treated badly by guys", which sounds very correct, but in contrast the post titled "the function of boyfriends" lists down 18 "functions" of boyfriends, as if bfs must have these "functionality" to be qualified as bfs. I mean, hello girls, you think helping in saving is a great job and should be appreciated, but the 18 jobs bfs have done for you are like granted? Then i tell you you don't even WORTH to have that bf.
And guys often think they deserve pretty girls at their side. Should you be gifted a mirror for self clarification? I wouldn't want to say much d as this sickness of guys are already too common that AGAIN emotions have overtaken the objectivity of guys in viewing themselves and how much they deserve.

Nevertheless, no people is obligated to treat anyone good and no people is obligated to be treated good as well. I always believe this sentence that i appreciate everything people have done for me and i hope people will do the same to me. No one deserves anything until the one has done something.

Kind of disagree with my points? Always feel free to comment as i can differentiate between discussing and criticizing, at lease. xD

Graduation, finally

Finally, the day that i have been waiting for since January has almost arrived. Although i have experienced it before it still brings excitement to me. It is kind of a symbol or representation to me and a ceremony after which i can finally get my graduation certificate (because of this cert i almost couldn't claim my ACCA exemption!). Anyway, i am still very looking forward to the moment of walking towards the center of the stage.

Many changes occurred between this period (Jan-Nov). People have been choosing their own separated path and we are no longer moving as a group or class like before. Some go for degree, some go for ACCA, some go for both and some choose to work. No matter which path is chosen, i still sincerely hope everyone is doing good in anywhere they belong.

And of course, the one big thing is i have found the one. I think until my marriage only i will confirm with you whether he is the one in the rest of my life, but by now i am happy with it. It's already near 7 months ad i still didn't see conflict in our thought. Okay look carefully, it is THOUGHT. Now i feel the thing that holds on a relationship is THOUGHT. When two person have the same thought and believes, they will work hard towards the same direction for the purpose of arriving at same destination.

So i guess until now i feel grateful for meeting him, and i feel grateful that he understands me well. Sometimes i don't even need to explain more that he would know what i mean by a sentence. I think this also means he views matters in the same way as mine. If i say i dislike a person, i don't even need explain why but he knows the reasons and thinks the same. That's really a type of relationship that i have long waited. I can present the true side of myself freely in front of him without worries, and i don't need to explain or be scared off misunderstanding when interacting with him.

So i guess with him, i don't even need many friends. If you already have someone who thoroughly understands you, you would rather talk to him instead of other people to whom you can't freely talk and those who do not have the same thought with you and view things differently.

=)
