It's graduation season! People are sharing many things about graduation. Looking at those photos and posts, I can still remember those excitement, feelings, precious memories of my convocation last year. Mine was a colorful one. Now I'm going to review my graduation last year. Here we go!
We were asked to get our graduation robes a few weeks before our graduation ceremony. At that time I didn't get any jobs yet, so I was free at any of the days to take my robe. However, I chose to take it during weekend because I might get to meet more friends since some of them had already started their work. So I stayed with two of my coursemates, Li Ting and Joy who continued their Master Degree a night before we took our robes - The robes can be start taken at early in the morning. And there's many people like me already staying at UKM or nearby, preparing to be the first to grab our desired robes' size. Many of us were worrying too much that we cannot get a suitable size. We even set alarm before sleeping. That night, we had a wonderful chat about our internship life. We chatted non-stop because we had not meet each other for a long time and we had so many stories to share! They also discussed about how to make up during convocation too. There, I was exposed to many things lol! Li Ting helped Joy, who was mono eyelid to put on the double eyelid tape. I was sitting beside, hands were holding those beauty products with curiosity. Can't deny that it was the first time I saw a double eyelid tape. It's like a sticker with sickle shape. Besides, they also used nail polish. They were testing different colors of nail polish, discussing which was better, which was prettier and how to polish their fingernails nicely. And when they "used up" all their fingers, they borrowed mine, but I quickly removed it after that. = =
The next day we managed to wake up early, but when we reached the hall, there were many people lining up in front of us. Everyone was so aggressive! However, I guess we were still considered early since we get the size we want, haha! We were so excited and we put on our robes and started to take photos. Pre-convo photo-shooting session started from here!
Graduation robe with casual clothes inside - one can tell that you have just received your robes, and that's what I saw my juniors doing the same thing too~
And then, back to my home. My childhood friend Esther invited me to have a graduation photo-shooting session with her since we graduated at the same time, and her convocation was one day before mine. I put on my favorite formal attire and we brought our robes respectively to the park. We happen to meet Zic there. She said we were too eye-catching with our robes at the park lol! Actually I felt awkward to wear my robe at the park, but you know, I was not alone lol! We took photos with her for a while because she was going to fetch her mum home.
Hand in hand
Balancing?
Was the grass clean?
Books as props
After Zic left, we continued our photograph session.
Believe me, I never touched the disgusting tree trunk!
Tripod, DSLR, Timer
Ok. The sun was setting down. Time to leave the park because without sufficient lighting, the photos taken were not very nice. We went Tesco because Esther wanted to buy convocation gifts for her friends. Later, Zic joined our next photo-shooting venue - Crystal Crown Hotel.
You are prohibited to use the stairs because three thick-skinned people had occupied it
I guess not many people took their graduation photo from behind
