That's it, I'm officially trained and graduated from my course, after three weeks into the school term. I got the stress, workload and thankfully, the pay of a trained teacher now. And today just went passed too quickly in this long week for me (cos Saturday is open house, got duties to carry out till late evening time).

It's a great thing to have the first few alphabets in your surname as I was the first to collect my diploma in the 3 hour long ceremony today. The first to walk up the stage, to lead the first 15 graduands of my cohort, just because of my surname. Even better yet, I got the front row seat near the middle column, the 'best' seat a graduand could ask for (though it means I can't sleep there).

However, it's even better to have the last few alphabets in your surname, as the last to collect his diploma, a guy whose surname is 'Zhang', received his with a roaring applause, because he symbolizes the end of the labourious ceremony.

My hands are aching after clapping for over 700 fellow graduands, should have some photos up here though but sucre forgot to bring back her handphone and camera today. What a shame. Maybe another day.
