我的毕业典礼

Sunday, September 18, 2011

九月十七日及十八日是玻璃市大学的第六届毕业典礼,很荣幸的我也是该届的毕业生之一荣获物质工程系(荣誉)学士学位。

前叙

九月二日,我接到玻璃市大学学术部的一通来电邀请我出席九月十六日晚的毕业晚宴并领取奖状。至于是什么奖状呢,他们都三缄其口不愿告知,还真是神秘兮兮的。

一星期后(九月八日),我又接到玻璃市大学的另一通来电。她说她是来自多媒体部门想邀请我出席九月十五日的记者会。我顿时觉得很好奇,为什么要我出席呢?他的答案还是一样:您得到奖状,但还是不肯告诉我什么奖状。之后,她还用电话访问我半小时说这些资料是要给记者的。当然,我还是给予高度的配合。

四天后(九月十二日),我再次收到玻璃市大学学术部的另一通来电。这次她们要我出席九月十七日的第一场毕业典礼。由于我的毕业典礼会在十八日,所以我拒绝出席;之后他们竟然通知Dean逼我出席。唉 ~最后在无法拒绝他的情况下,我还是得出席十七日的毕业典礼。

老实说:我还真讨厌这所大学的政策,读了四年还是没进步。老是做最后一分钟的决定,无论学生愿不愿意还是得参与。可悲也!

记者会

九月十五日(星期四)
凌晨还没听见鸡啼我就已启程回大学了。大概早上九点到达大学毕业部领取毕业袍,还不懂得怎么穿便匆匆忙忙的赶到毕业场地出席记者会。


在这也遇到了其余的五位最高荣誉金牌奖得主,其中两位是我所认识的:康南及伟健。
我们也听取多媒体部主管的吩咐,立即换上毕业袍;然后与校长一起出席记者会。
当天出席的媒体有光明日报,南洋商报,星洲日报,Utusan, Sinar, The Star, Kosmo, RTM & TV9.

首先校长先对媒体报告了今年的大学业绩,其中包过发表多少篇技术文章及报告被国际所接纳,赢了多少项奖项,毕业生在毕业典礼前的就业率,以往学生就业率,课程已受工程师协会的认可等等。。

最后,校长也宣布了该届毕业生中脱颖而出的六位模范生(最高荣誉金牌奖得主)
很荣幸的我获得了校长金牌奖!



记者会后我们陪同记者们用膳,然后就进行颁奖典礼的彩排。


也在同一天的晚间八时三十分,全体毕业生出席了毕业典礼的彩排活动。
也在同一晚我接受玻璃市大学的采访。

毕业晚宴


九月十六日(星期五)
所有该届金牌及银牌奖毕业生得主都受邀出席晚间的毕业晚宴。这可是我在大学四年里出席过最隆重,最豪华的晚宴。当然我也盛装出席晚宴,以示尊重。


当然这也是我出席过最饿的晚宴,因为我们必须等待嘉宾们列席,互签谅解备忘录,致辞,宣布新书上架等等。。最后才到用膳时间(大约九点半)。


宴会开始,我们才吃了第一道菜肴,还没饱肚便需到外列队准备上台领取奖。


在晚宴上,我也获颁优异学生金牌奖(Pingat Pelajar Kecemerlangan),奖状及马币四千元支票。


领完奖后回到宴席上,我匆匆的吃完第二道及第三道菜肴便邀请同学们到外拍照。
然后我便离开宴会,赶回槟城高渊家!



或许大家很好奇为什么要那么赶呢?
答案:我必须回家载我家长出席隔天上午七时半的第一场毕业典礼。
在玻璃市启程回家时间是晚上十一点半左右,到家时间是凌晨两点左后。休息了两小时后便起床准备启程出席第一场毕业典礼。

或许大家会问为什么不住酒店呢?
答案:你们想到的,我当然都想到啦!就是我的好大学喜欢做最后一分钟的决定及通知,那时我尝试预定酒店但所有酒店因为毕业典礼在即,全部客满!唉~没办法咯,我必须做马路测量师咯,量马路。

毕业典礼 (第一场)

九月十七日(星期六)
期盼了那么久,毕业典礼终于到来咯!终于轮到我戴四方帽的时候了。
虽然有点不想出席这第一场的毕业典礼,但最后还是偕同家长出席了。

也在这一场的毕业典礼,我获得王储兼名誉校长颁发了校长金牌奖。



校长金牌奖 (Vice Chancellor Gold Medal Award) - 此奖项是颁发于历届的模范生之一,得奖者必须具备优越的学术表现,活跃的课外活动,曾代表大学出赛,以及良好的领导能力等。



这奖项也是目前我在学术上得过最高的荣誉;能在众多的毕业生当中脱颖而出真的深感荣幸。在这想借此机会感谢我的父母对我无私的奉献与教导,当然还是少不了玻马大的教授及讲师们的悉心教导,才能成就了今天的我。真的很谢谢你们!



第一场的毕业典礼结束后,我们也被安排与王储兼名誉校长,校长及董事长合照。这张照片也成为了第六届毕业典礼中最珍贵的照片之一。

出席了第一场的毕业典礼后,我们也启程回家。
因为我早已预约了傍晚会到相馆拍摄我的毕业照及全家福。

拍完照后已是晚上十时,准备了隔天的毕业用品后已是晚上十二点。休息了三小时后便起床准备出席我的毕业典礼!凌晨四点,我们再次展开量马路任务,启程到玻璃市!

我的毕业典礼

九月十八日(星期日)
这一天终于到来了,期盼了四年的日子 - 毕业典礼!


这真是一个难得可贵的日子;
对父母而言:他们很欣慰的是他们的儿子终于毕业了,并却即将成为毕业工程师。正式踏入人生的另一个阶段。
对我而言:最开心的还是能跟一班同学们一起毕业。我们一起在玻璃市大学经历了无数岁月。一起上课,一起熬夜读书,一起做实验,一起写报告,一起赶功课,一起考试,一起庆生日,一起旅游,一起吹水的,一起追戏,一起用餐,一起作弄讲师,这些日子还真令人怀念。。
虽然我们曾经争吵过,但这些考验促使我们成长,也巩固了我们的友谊。老实说我还真怀念那些年与大家在大学吵吵闹闹的日子。。
同学们, 我想说的是: 大学的日子也因有你们而变得精彩, 谢谢你们”。



当然还是少不了感谢学弟学妹们,虽然我并没帮过你们多少的大忙。不过还真的谢谢你们能出席我的毕业典礼,尤其是Pei Key & Chui Ing,真的很谢谢你们的毕业礼物噢。。我很喜欢!


最后,还要感谢特地从外地赶回来出席我毕业典礼的兄弟们还有亲戚朋友们,有你们的出席让我的毕业典礼变得更加精彩。也谢谢你们噢!


话说回来,在这场毕业典礼。我也获颁了物质工程系(荣誉)学士学位 [ Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Materials Engineering)],同时我也考获了该学士学位的荣誉一级文凭。
真是可喜可贺。


虽然这几天的毕业典礼,我忙得好像傻瓜般,赶来赶去,总共来回了槟城及玻璃市三趟。可说是累坏了。
但是它也成为了我这一生中最难忘的毕业典礼,也是仅此一次的学士毕业典礼。
能够参与其中并成为当天的主角,我还是深感荣幸及开心的。。

USM Postgraduate Offers

Friday, August 12, 2011
Few months ago, a momentous decision had been made by me to choose the Postgraduate Studies. Next, I was face another dilemma situation between PhD in UniMAP and Master in USM. At the end, USM had been chosen. This post, I wish to share the journey in postgraduate application and progress.

I was officially submitted the application form and research proposal to USM's Institute of Postgraduate Studies (IPS) on 1st of June. Next, the literature works started too with the guidance of supervisor.

One and half months later, the USM has accepted me as postgraduate student.
The offer details as below:

Degree : Master of Science (Materials Engineering)
Affix condition: (i) The candidate may convert from Master to PhD within one year with outstanding performance in research progress.


This news actually not surprising me because from the beginning supervisor already informed me that USM is hard to apply direct Bachelor Degree to PhD.  So how? I just can accept it and continue my postgraduate study life.

The new matrix card (USM) and the old matrix card (UniMAP)

One month later, supervisor was informed me some changes to my postgraduate study offered. USM has affixed another condition to the offer as I'm the graduate of UniMAP.


New affix condition: (ii) The candidate is required to take two undergraduate courses and pass with at least C+.


Is it bad news enough ? Some of my friends said: "Why don't you leave USM and further study at other University as the terms and conditions USM offered really unfair for you ?"

".............." I'm really don't know how to answer this question at beginning.
Speechless for few seconds 
Next, I answer : " There is nothing fair in the world, I'll take it as a challenge. Why should I change University instead of proving to USM I can do it well?"


The life is still going on; similarly I'm continue my postgraduate study without blame.

Today, my postgraduate candidature successful upgraded from Master to Doctor of Philosophy, but the affix conditions still remain same.


Degree : Doctor of Philosophy
Affix conditions:
The candidate is required to take two undergraduate courses and pass with at least C+.
                        (i) Engineering Materials Characterization
                        (ii) Semiconductor Fabrication Techniques


The words can't be use to describe how happy I am. The offer does make me feel the previous hard-works are extremely worth (Fight for 1st class honours, chosen further study at USM, be focus in my postgraduate study and etc). Now, I have been completed all registration procedures and officially become a Doctor of Philosophy student in Universiti Sains Malaysia. The toughest journey begins now !

King Scout Award

Sunday, July 31, 2011

King Scout Award is the highest achievement of a scout, but not every scout can receive this award. The King Scout Certificate is a priceless and very special certificate, because it contains the signatures of  DYMM Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Dipertua Agong and Majlis Raja-Raja (Sultan / Raja). Besides, The King Scout Certificate is only can receive from The King in a special ceremony demonstrate the climate of scout achievement.


This post, I'm going to share these unforgettable scout experiences and happiness. 
The Story begins : I was passed my king scout examination on year 2004. The king scout examination only can be sit once passed 17 scout badges and discipline / attitude test. Besides, this examination is restricted can be sit by age 17 years old scout only. The exam only can sit for 1 time. If passed, congratulation you will be award the cert; If failed, sorry you are going to regretful because no resit exam is allowed. It's hard to pass the exam with many terms and conditions again making this cert very valuable.

Dinner with juniors

Preparation : One and half months ago, I was invited to attend the King Scout Award Ceremony. It's happy but worry too because it was produced another problems to me. I was inactive in scout activities for 7 years, where can I get my scout full-set uniform seem I'm already getting fatter. 1st, I'm borrowed most of the uniform stuffs from friends. Next, removed 5 Lencana Tertinggi from my scout uniform and finally bought new scout pants and shoe. Once everything were ready, we ( Jenny, Jojo, Sin Chyr, Kenny and me) were departure to attend the rehearsal on 29 July 2011. The organizer was prepared the bus and hotel for all receivers who attend the ceremony. Of course, those expenses we need to cover by our-self. Next, although we had encountered some troubles during registration and uniform checking session, but fortunately got Mr. Voon helped us to solve those. Really thanks a lot to him.

Rehearsal night

At night, formal rehearsal was held at the ceremony hall. We were practiced how to receive the cert from The King. The original king scout badge was also received at the same night.

Before The King arrival

The Ceremony : 30 July 2011 (Saturday) was the ceremony date. We were checked out from Tower Regency Hotel on 6.45am and sat bus to the ceremony hall. After breakfast, everyone was sat in the hall and waited for The King arrival.

D.Y.T.M. Raja Muda Perak

2 hours passed; and finally The King was arrived !!! The ceremony started with national anthem, scout song (a song never heard before), prayed and speech. Next, is the moment we waiting for : received award from The King.

Pray to The King ~ Ampun Tuanku

5 persons in a row step up to the stage together. On the way go to stage, we need pray several times to The King and this actually symbolize respect and acquire forgiven from The King. Once the master of ceremony speaks your name, then you only can step to receive the cert from The King. Bik bok bik bok... My heartbeat is super duper fast once I'm step onto the stage. Nervous !!!

Received The King Scout Certificate Scroll from The King
Left: Jojo, Middle: Jenny, Right: Gyson

"Tan Kim Seah, sila menghadap", the master of ceremony speaked. This moment, I'm quickly pray to The King, step forward in-front of The King, pray again and then received the certificate scroll from The King. Speak to The King "Patik Menjunjung Kasih Tuanku", one step backward, 45 degree bow to The king, two more steps backward and finally leave the stage. The whole process only took 1 minute, but proud enough to us as we are alike those people who received Dato', Datuk or Tan Sri from The King. This was the feeling : Amazing !!!


Current school principal, teacher advisor and all King Scouts graduated from SMJK Krian


The current school principal of SMJK Krian and teacher Mr. Ahmad were also attend to this ceremony. We did shared our happiness with them. Of-course, this memorable moment was captured and may be will appear in our secondary school coming year magazine. The ceremony end with a capture of mega-photo with The King and all King Scouts.

Yippee... Finally I get my King Scout Certificate 

After the ceremony, we were attended the mega-reunion party that held at Tower Regency Hotel. This is a celebrate party for all King Scouts and the scout masters. As scout for years, this is the first time and may be last time can overnight at Hotel with air-conditioner, and also buffet lunch; instead of tent that full of mosquito, backwood cooking with bamboo and etc.

 Before the reunion party ~ Sign our big name

The Feeling : I do proud be a King Scout when I was form 5. However, as the days past; slowly I'm start forgotten the scout activities which I'm actively involve before. Same, at the beginning received the invitation to attend the ceremony; I'm actually having not much feeling as I'm already in-active in scout activities for 7 years. After attend the ceremony, it refreshes my scout memories. Especially the moment received the cert from The King make me do proud as a King Scout again. I do enjoy these two days back to scout life, re-wear the scout uniform make me looking fresh and younger. Am I right? A big children... Hohoho..



Conclusion : Experiencing the sour, bitter, spicy and now come to the sweet of scout life make it really memorable in my life.  Once a Scout, Always a Scout !!!


The celebration ~ Yum Seh !!!


P.S: Thanks Jenny Lim and CXian Tioh for captured those nice photos to us. Appreciate.

~ Yes ! I Make It ~

The UPU result was announced on last week 15 July 2011, congratulation to those newbies of university members and soon you guys will be declare as undergraduates. Those get the 1st choice, you are the lucky group because you get what you wish. For those get the choice within the 8 options, you are still classified as lucky group because it's better than didn't get. For those didn't get any offer, may be private university is another best option to you. Be positive thinking : The god will never shut a door without opening another.

Yesterday (19 July 2011), Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) was re-announcing our last semester result. The reason is due to technical errors happened in the university management making the final year project result cannot announced on time (last month). Before sharing my result, let me tell you guys a short story; hopefully this story might be the cardiotonic for those juniors / newbies accidentally selected UniMAP.

4 years ago, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) was my 1st choice in the UPU list. Here is the prove:

I was enter this university to pursue my undergraduate study with Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Materials Engineering. However, I was from STPM biological background and this should not be the obstacle for my undergraduate study as I felt 4 years ago.

Today (after 4 years), the final semester result is the best proven. My final CGPA is 3.79; it's totally same like semester 7 and I'm going to graduate with 1st class honours. Woohoo !!! The target set when I was 1st year has been achieved. Can't believe that my dream can be come true, I'm very happy and appreciate on such achievement. Thanks Buddha..

Dear parents, brothers, sisters, fellow, course-mates & friends who has support, encourage and help me along my undergraduate studied, no matter is directly or indirectly; I'm sincerely thanks to you guys.
Last but not least, please allow me to shout : YES !!! I MADE IT !!!


Undergraduate study just a stage of life, no matter how well / poor the results, the life is still need to go on. I'll not satisfy with my current achievement because education it's life and I'll learn until the end of life.
