Graduation ....

After 3 years of burning the midnight oil, spending semester breaks doing his short semester paper, sweating it out when his projects were rejected and had to be done all over again, spending money on everything and nothing, having fun at the same time .... finally Syafiq graduated with his diploma from Malaysia Technology University (UTM). As he was at the Jalan Semarak, KL campus, his graduation was at the UTM Skudai campus. We had fun during the convo. Syafiq was very proud of his achievements and so were we. Being the second child and being caught between 2 high achievers as brothers, he was confident in his own way and thus did not feel inferior to both of them. So, 28th October, a week after his 21st birthday, he held the scroll in his hands with pride and determined to complete his degree in electronic engineering at Universiti Tenaga Nasional. All our blessings and prayers follow you wherever you go ....
