Inspector Graduates

Another mark in the history for Inspector & his coursemates! Definitely an exciting and memorable day for them!!

The convocation for his course, together with the rest of the courses, was held at Shangri-La Hotel. The whole ballroom was practically swarmed with red ribbon-sashed graduates! But Inspector's course uses gold ribbon sash and there were, I think, less than 30 people in that course, so it kinda made Inspector and his friends stood out like thorns among the roses. Very easy to spot them. ;)

It was a hectic day. Met up with the rest of his friends at Lemon2Go Cafe which was at the lobby level. It was pretty amusing there coz Inspector was the only guy within the group, and the rest were busy putting on their makeup in front of the huge mirrored wall, putting on their robes, sashes and mortar boards. Hehe..

Then we went to the registration counter and Inspector signed in his attendance. Helped him out with the robe and all. He went for the group photography session. Then helped snapped some photos of him and his friends. Met up with his family. Sat for the whole convo procession. Ohhh.. The Deputy PM's wife was there. Hehe.. Then it was the tea reception. Snapped more photos. Inspector returned his robe. Said bye to his friends and then we left for dinner with his family.

This is the day they will all remember that, after 2 years of slogging and making the trips to the college library a daily routine (not forgetting, it was a place to 'hang out' too. Hehe..), they have finally been rewarded with a degree to their names. And I'm very happy for them! :)
