A tribute to my dearest mum!!

Quote of the day: "We're never too old to learn...!!" (Mum, 2007)

Few years ago, a bored housewife who just quit her job as a company secretary of CIMB Securities decided to do something useful with her life and time. Despite being busy from sending and picking up her children to and fro out of the house, to school, from school, to college, from college, to ballet, from ballet, to work, from work and etc etc etc., she still went on and studied hard. She was taking Law, a really known hard subject among the courses in the world. She was even the oldest in her class, and her classmates regarded her as a senior, a mother and a guide.

With her knowledge, experience and hardwork, she succeeded and passed her exams. And now, she's finally graduating with a degree in Law.

Well, today belongs to my beloved mother, who just received her Bachelor of Law (LLB), from U. The convocation ceremony was held at Berjaya Times Square Hotel ballroom. Jene, Min and i headed to KL after packing the necessary stuffs and all.

Although i couldn't keep my promise by bringing a whole legion of "supporters" to attend her convo, but the presence of my two sisters and i was enough to keep mum smiling ear to ear the whole day. We were so proud to see mum going on stage to receive her scroll from the Dean and not to forget, the throwing-the-mortar-hats part. Haha...

Mum was very happy today... VERY!!

Anyhow... i shall let the pictures relate the whole situation:

Ma tried on the robe and mortar hat with the help with an assistant from the college.

Jene and Min helped abit too.

Then we headed in...

...to the hall.

Mum went to her respective seat.

With this chance, i quickly dashed out and went down to Cold Storage to get a bouquet of flowers. But blaaaardy hell, everything was freaking, effing expensive! Darn the holidays like Christmass!! But luckily i had my "emergency" money (which i mostly use for clubbing. LoL.) and could afford to get a bouquet of 6 roses.

The roses i chose.

The florist was really nice enough to gimme a discount.

After i paid, i rushed back to the hall, and found out mum has already going up to receive her honors. Luckily, Jene was smart enough to take a video of what happened.

Mum and the rest went back to their seat. Then they had this tradition of the Dean leading the graduates out of the hall. I don't remember my college having something like dat?? Anywaay, they all came back in for a group shot.

Getting ready for the group shot.

I really don't know why mum was pouting.

Here's the funny part. The mortar-throwing-tradition.

We walked around Times Square, as Min wanted to buy candy.

After everything, we went to Crowne Plaza for a buffet dinner. It was to celebrate mum's graduation. Too bad Dad had to work. (Hahaha...Bad Dad Had... HAHAHAHA!!!). Well, yea...

After a hearty serving of sushi and sashimi, i went for pasta.

The attendant was nice enough to gimme more chicken ham slices.

Ringo would love this! LoL.

I had to sample all of 'em!!

I took more food!

Min definitely enjoyed her food.

Well, yea... mum too.
LoL.

DESSERTS!!! Noticed the chocolates?!

Fresh fruits,

...and ice-kacang!!

I just had to devour everything!!

I ate and ate and ate until i got soooooo blaaaaardy full i couldn't talk or walk. So were Jene, so mum and Min enjoyed a cup of tea while waiting, before leaving Crowne Plaza to pick up dad from Sogo (he was there after work).

Anyhow, i had fun today and felt very proud.

Why??

Because my mum's a Law graduate!!!
I'm so proud of her!
