Graduation Day (Part 2)

The next day, we have a graduation parade. Haa..Ini yang special pasal Victoria ni. It has become a tradition where the graduands will be parading along the city street accompanied by the brass band. It's a celebration of joy for the graduands. Actually, aku plan nak pakai kebaya time parade ni tapi memikirkan kain kebaya tu sempit, nak parade macam susah. So, ulang pakai baju yang sama time dapat scroll. Kihkihkih

As we were busy taking photos,two ladies came and approached us. They asked for two volunteers to hold the Victoria banner. Laju je aku dan Elin angkat tangan. Hehehe. Sebab yang pegang banner akan duduk depan sekali. Right after the brass band. Ada chance la nak masuk dalam gambar banyak sikit. =P  Even the chancellors and lecturers were also lining up behind us. Nampak tak betapa pentingnya role kami? Hahahaha.Why they chose foreign students not the locals? Maybe because they wanted to show the diversity of students in Victoria. If I'm not mistaken, bilangan foreign students di Victoria agak banyak berbanding local people. Pernah jadi isu hangat kat paper bila dorang umumkan nak buka more offer to the foreigners instead of their own people.

When the brass band started marching, kitorang pun ikut la kat belakang. The person in charge told us not to follow too close, biar ada few gaps between them and us. There were times when I walked too fast and the lady in orange safety vest whispered to me, "Not too close darling.Slow down a bit" Hahahaha. I was nervous. Macam fashion show pun ada.There were so many people watching us, taking photos. I tried to smile as long as I can. Sampai kejang muka ni haa. The wind was so strong that sometimes the banner rolled up the pole. Time ni la rasa bersyukur sangat tak pakai kebaya. If tak, ada yang dapat tengok free show.Hihihi.

I had my limelight moment when my hood flew away from my head because of the strong wind. T______T It dropped right in front of the chancellor's feet. I was too shocked that I stopped walking and try to take it back. To my surprise, the chancellor bent down his body and took my stupid hood for me. Just when I got back my hood, Elin's hood pulak yang jatuh. The situation became chaotic out of sudden just because of our hoods. Huwa! What a shame! When the parade ended, the chancellor came and talked to us "This is the first time ever in Victorian history such thing happened. The wind must be too strong aye? " Rasa macam nak tutup muka dengan robe tu ja.Hahaha.Malu gila.Mujur la dia cool je tak marah ke apa. I did not know whether there's people yang rekod that moment. If ada, tolong la delete. If tak nak delete, simpan buat kenangan sendiri je lah nooo. Janganlah share kat mana mana. Buat malu kaum sejagat je. Jatuh saham I. Sobs.

Habis je parade, kitorang pun mula la berpeleseran kat Civic Square.Ambil gambar banyak banyak. Lighting  baik punya. 

 Pinjam mak Elin. Huhuhu. We are the "parent-less" graduands. Thank you to the girls sebab bagi bunga kat I. Huhu.Terharu.

 With some of my cohormates. It was a beautiful day. Shine bright like a diamond. 

Ikut tangga ketinggian.Yeay! Dah graduate! Sekarang menganggur T_______T
