My Convocation Day

Hello guys.

Today i wanna talk about my convocation day last week which is on 4 December 2022.

Okay first of all, i will just describe it as a bad day or week tbh.

It all started when my father got back from a trip on 27 November 2022.

He went to Thailand for 4 days if i'm not mistaken.

My father got covid from there and started have cold and some of the covid symptoms on Monday.

He resists to stay at 1st floor and refuse to have separate space with my mother and i.

So we basically share toilet downstair and it causing me and my mother got the covid too after 3 days.

Yeah it sucks. I hate to blaming others but i think this is really my father faults.

I have cold on Wednesday and it felt like hell because i can't sleep well on that day.

Actually on Wednesday morning i do the self-testing and it showed negative result.

But in the next morning, we took rtk test at a clinic by drive thru and all of us got positive results.

Tbh i already felt unenthusiastic about my convocation since i knew my father positive on that monday.

 Then when i know all of us got covid on that thursday, i really don't want to go to my big day and postpone it to another session but my father insists and force me to go even if my parents didn't enter the hall at least i went on stage.

On Saturday evening, my mother and i went to do rtk test again and as i expected, we still positive covid on that day.

As my parents plan, we just went to Shah Alam and staying in the hotel rooms that my mom already booked for almost a month before that day. My mom book 2 rooms and it's so huge.

I stay in a separate room as my parents and it really spacious for me. 

I don't why i think my story is so sucks rn maybe because i don't know how to tell here how disappointed i am. I really felt so sorry to people that involve on my convocation day and who sit next to me that day. I can't even tell them since it really my fault and i'm afraid that it would make a chaotic scene.

Okay now continue with my story which is after we do the rtk, we departing to Shah Alam really late. Like after asar i think.

Then we arrive around 10pm idk because i really didn't update it anywhere even on my twitter.

If i update it i can easily assess the time.

After we check in, we just take a rest and staying there as a normal person hahaha wth.

The next morning we take our breakfast at the hotel since we got free coupon for 4 person.

Istg it is my first time felt so uncomfortable to eat since we got covid. We kept wearing mask.

After we took breakfast, my mother wanna buy some self test kit since it may risk if we do rtk in Shah Alam while me preparing for to get ready for my convocation.

Oh before i forgot, my session is on the evening which is Sidang 15. My convocation was the 95th.

That morning i really thought that i will not enter the hall and just return the robe on that evening but suddenly my friend called me at 9am and ask me if i already getting ready because we should arrive there before 12.30pm.

I really felt so sorry to my friend and i just told her that i feel like i didn't wanna go to the convocation but she kept telling me to go so i just go even if the result of test kit was invalid.

Yup i do the self test and it show invalid result.

So i take a bath on 10am and we went to datc like 11am i think and i arrive exactly a few minutes before 12.30pm.

Since my parents didn't enter the hall i give the invitation card to my friend's sister since her card occupied with her parents. (one card 2 persons)

I told my friend that i want back that card but she told me she will give it after the ceremony. And yeah until now i didn't get that back hahahaha nvm.

So after i met my friend, we search for our batchmate to get into our place in the queue but we got lost since there were so many people. i don't know how many minutes we take but we got in line on time.

I don't know if my friend notice or not but i kept wearing the mask from start and only took it off on stage and after the ceremony. I bet she know/feel about it.

I really avoid met with her family and having a long conversation with them.

After the ceremony it really a chaotic scene for me since i don't know how to make my parents get along with my plan.

Since we trying to avoid my friend's family, i planning to get some photo at the booth that already been there so we took a package that offered.

Fyi my friend's family know my parents since we have some related background.

So when we survey some booth/studio packages then we finalized it and took the rm180 package. (i think)

Then after we deal with the dealer, we just wait and after a few minutes we got in the booth and get ready for our session.

But suddenly the dealer came back to us and told us that we didn't pay it yet hahaha what a mess lol.

After the person before our session end, we quickly took some photo but my parents keep ask and request to the photographer to make the picture can be edited with brother in it.

Oh before i forgot, my brother and my grandmother supposedly went to my convocation day but because of covid we went by ourself. Thankgod my brother didn't buy the bus ticket yet.

OKAY so here the highlight of my story. Yeah i know i make some annoyed face bcs of my parents keep request to the photographer something that he didn't even care about. But after he done his job, my father ask him to take some our photo using my father phone.

I really hate the photographer because he being so rude to my parents. It's ok if he want to be rude to me but please don't with my parents. He take our picture in hurry and told us to get off quickly because there were so many people queue. His tone very rude to me. With the face he made i almost saying some harshwords/curse to him but because there were so many people in that booth, i just let it go.

Only ME can be rude to my parents. If he wanna be rude to my parents, i really can't forget about it.

After we went out from that fucking booth, i take some picture alone with my mother before i return the robe.

Actually i really disappointed with my convocation day. Not only because of covid but because i don't have any picture with my friends and also because of that rude photographer.

After i done taking some picture, i searching for my friend and even call her but she didn't answer. After a few minute suddenly she called me back and told me that she already queue to return the robe.

We really didn't have any proper picture on that day but thankgod we already took some preconvo photos last month.

Even if the photo not as great as my diploma's photo at least we got some :')

We took some photo while queue but until now i didn't receive it yet from her. I hate to ask people by forcing them so i'll ask her later when i think it's the time.

So after we return the robe i just met her parents for a minute and just went to my parents after that bcs i'm afraid they got the covid. and of course i'm afraid that they ask about my parents and ask to met them. Actually i got awkward when speak to elderly.

Ahh shit why my story here felt like so not properly composed.

So after me and my parents got into car, we went to sacc mall since it near to our hotel.

Before i forgot, we staying in mardhiyah hotel.

Ok, we went to sacc mall and buy some bread and went to familymart buy some oden and wrap. then we eat in pizza hut. That pizza hut had a bad story since it just us eating there. the staff told us that restaurant will be shut down next year.

Actually my father thought that before this we frequently eat pizza hut but it's domino's pizza. So we just order some pizza around rm30 since be already entered and sit in the restaurant.

After we finish eating we went back to our room and sleep.

The next day we just casually take the breakfast like before and we check out around 10am or 11am. We went to uitm back since my picture (stage) already can be fetch.

So after that we just went home and i just slept along the way home. But before we went home we stop by tesco to eat. we arrive there around 3pm.

So that's all i think.

I just realized that i didn't make an entry for my diploma convocation day but i got to write it on my 2nd twitter account. So next time i will try to make the entry according to all the tweets. I hope i still remember how the day goes.

Until we meet again. bye!
