My BSc (Hons) Graduation

Note: This post is really very late as I have just returned from a 3 weeks trip with my family. Hence, bear with me with all the coming late posts which I promise will be accompanied with many nice pictures. :)

18th December marked one of the most important date in my life as it is the time when I graduate from University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree, majoring in Pharmacology and Biotechnology.

As the day approaches, I was getting more nervous and anxious. So paranoid that I started thinking what if I trip over my gown on the stage or I fall down the stairs because I was not used to my high heels? :P But ah, all was good and here are the pictures:

Feeling so happy on that day

Collected my scroll, feeling so happy that I am officially a graduate. Yeah! :P

Yeah, I got it! :P



So proud! :)

Thank you to all my dear friends who were present on that day, and to those who send me greetings via smses, mails and cards. :)
