My Mum's Graduation - 14th March 2008

Last Friday, 14th March was my mum's graduation from Beijing University, a collaboration with UniSIM. My father and the rest of the family are so proud of her!
My mama is 55 this year and she took 5 years taking her degree part time to complete a literature studies in Chinese...cheem stuff if you ask me.
It really goes to show that learning never stops regardless of age! Her unwavering spirit has paid off!
Her graduating class, the Masters Degree graduants consisted of some well-known figures.
Remember the TV personnel, Mai Haowei? affectionately known as "Lao Hero"? He was a Masters Degree Grad in Linguistics in Chinese! wow...other famous figures are Liang Ping from Capital 95.8FM the news reporter..amazing...so proud of my mum!!
Anyway I met my dear old Dean from CEE in NTU last time, Prof Cheong Hee Kiat! He had since moved to UniSIM to be the Head there for the last 3 years. Miss him so much and had so much to catch up with him...missed the days that he taught us and when I chatted with him when I was in Civil main comm in school....sigh...
Time really flies...
