My Graduation Ceremony in Olomouc

After one and a half year of hard work, finally, I made it!! After all the worries and anxiety, I finished all the papers, exams, presentations, internship, thesis and final exam, and I graduated! Haha, I seriously had no idea how did I make it, but I'm simply glad and relief that I made it!! For my parents and my family as well as my friends from Malaysia who couldn't make it to the ceremony, these are some pictures for you from my graduation ceremony in Olomouc, Czech Republic.

My funny look with a big face, can't help, it's from my father :)

On the small stage, find me if you can :P give you a tip, I'm one of the few who is holding a red certificate (means passed with honours :P yes I'm a bit sombong here :P)

The head of the faculty and some important figures who must attend our graduation ceremony, as you can tell from their costumes :P

A professor who read our names out loud and told us how proud we should be as a graduate of Palacky University

It's my turn to promise that I will be commit to be one of the ambassadors of the university :)

My classmate, Pavel, student representative who gave speech on behalf of us

Most of us are from the other countries, so not many of us have our families to attend this ceremony :(

But this is why I am writing this blog for :) Our group photo with our young professors standing behind us :)

Zdenka's grandmother made some nice desserts for me after a great lunch cooked by Mrs. Lammelova :) Dad, the grandmother insisted to let me show you all the desserts that she made :)

How could we miss a great party after our graduation??

The graduation ceremony, the celebration lunch, the parties, they were all great, I wish you all could be here with me to witness this moment, but it's ok, I will bring my diploma certificate when I am back to Malaysia :) I still have another thesis defense to go in Krakow, wish me all the best!! See you very very soon!!

Some winter pictures...

Since I am done writing my thesis, I guess it's time for me to update my blog a little bit for my "loyal audiences" of my blog :) These are the pictures that I took before Christmas until after New Year 2008.

Me and Lory standing in front of a shop in the market square, Olomouc

Funny me standing in front of the Christmas market in the market square in Olomouc. Papa, you have been there too and you said it was too quiet. So now I am showing you that this market square can be quite crowded too :) Wanna come again?

Make a wish...in the market square in Olomouc

I also went to the Christmas market in Krakow, Poland.

My Eskimo look :)

My original look :) in a coffee shop in Krakow

Since my brother took some artistic pictures after he lost 12 kgs, I have to do something similar too :) My side look :)

By the way, this is my brother's latest look, I guess girls are lining up already :) Yes, he is still single :)

Bought this as a Christmas present :)

Had some friends came over during New Year 2008, we have had a crazy party, with lots of Slivovice, Tequilla, and Champaign :)

Having a snow balls fight...

We went to a mountain one hour from Olomouc too, I guess this is my first winter!
Look at the snow behind me and Marleen!


The sun...

Sun light in the snow...

Snow, snow, and snow...

And lots of Christmas trees?

Me and the snow :)
