Graduation Service

Working on a weekend is no fun but thank God I had the next few days of Raya holiday to look forward too.

Last Saturday, we had a graduation service and the preparations started early in the morning. Yawn... I hate getting up so early on a weekend.

One important lesson in life: work gets done quickly if everyone gets involved without the tiresome restrictions of ranks and red tapes. It's a wonderful thing to observe students, staff and lecturers willingly work together without being calculative about his or her scope of work.

I was involved in some minor table arrangment and a 'mini production line' for cling wrapping the trays of food for afternoon tea. Yes, three guys, a cling wrap and a pair of scissors. Hmmm, sounds like a possible theme for a new comedy. Anyway, here's a 'tantalizing' display of the food we 'gift wrapped'. Ha ha ha...


Afternoon, yours truly had the pleasure of playing cameraman for the the recording of the service. Quite a standard ceremony with the exception of a traditional dance performed by the students. Soon it was over, and the gift exchanges, photo takings and farewells followed. Sigh.

Well, there you have it; a glimpse into a non-typical working day in the life of jonzz.
