We left home dead on time as planned and arrived at the venue, the Putra Jaya convention center also dead on time. To those who have not been there, I can confidently vouch that the PICC is really a first class facility.
Zeti looked radiant and magnificent in the graduation robe. For the first time I saw her as a young lady...no longer my little girl. A lady who is ready to fly into the sky, to sail the ocean and to weather the storms and the ups and downs of life. When her name was called up the stage, I beamed with a silent pride and wiped my watery eyes, and due to that unexpected tripped of emotion I missed the opportunity to take her photo. Photography wise, fortunately she was called two more times to go up stage to receive awards as the Best student for her course and also for being on the Dean's list. I clicked away.....smiling, and whispering praises.
When the official ceremony was over, our celebration started. Hugs and kisses! More clicking away at the shutters of Zeti with her friends, lecturers and siblings. LiL was a proud mom, her smile beamed gloriously. MIL was equally thrilled .....One of the recognition accorded to her as a high achiever was to be invited for lunch with the VIPs and Parents were invited along. LiL and I enjoyed the recognition more than the food. Zeti obviously was happy that she has delivered her promise to us....."To do her best in her studies" In the excitement of the moments, I am glad that I remember to congrat LiL for it was her who has provided the support, encouragement and guidance to Zeti more than I.
One of Zeti's strength is her clarity in what she wants to achieve. Her interest in accountancy started when she was ten years old. She sets herself high standards and expectations. She was the best student for her course from year one until the final graduation. Something she take pride in....and of course so do we. She is self-motivated. As a person, Zeti is cool and happy go lucky. She gets on along very well with people. Although slightly on a shy side, she is confident of herself. She has strong views about things and has no hesitation in sticking to her beliefs even though it will mean she has to take drastic action. I wish her more success in her future.....
Bouquets of flowers to Zeti.....congrats!!

Hi Idham,
ReplyDeleteSomeone pick pocketed me and I lost my handphone. Lost your number lah. Can I have all your numbers again...upsetting lah. You and Lil balik bila?
hai Loveujordan, Rina....:)
ReplyDeleteYes, Zeti is calm and cool....it is easy to underestimate her capabilities because she is so down to earth, easy going, shy and modest. In her own way, she is a very determined person and well grounded with Islamic values.
eh....ampun, terlalu memuji anak sendiri pulak...hehehehe!
