Life's Realisation

My graduation ceremony was held last week and I was thrilled coz after all it was MY GRADUATION……... As I kid I didn’t even dream that I would further my studies after my A/L’s. It was not that I wasn’t a studious kid, it was just that I didn’t think so far into the future coz after all life is fickle and I had experienced its reality at a very tender age. Nevertheless, here I was a graduate…. and it felt good. It was as though it was my five minutes of fame. I have to be honest; my gradation ceremony wasn’t as well organized as the other graduation ceremonies that I have been to of my friends. However, nothing mattered to me because in my eyes it was all made complete by my family and my loved ones being there to share my special moment with me. I am truly thankful to everyone who has believed in me and helped me get to where I am today, because I couldn’t have done it without them.

Here I was at my workstation at office doing my work like a goodie goodie when my mobile rang. I was thankful that I had put it on discrete mode coz my normal ring tone is enough to wakeup the dead. Besides it so happened that some of our company big shots where in a discussion pretty close to where I sat and obstructing the entrance; therefore I didn’t wanna be smart and excuse myself in the middle of there discussion just to take a personal call. So I decided to answer it in my seat itself, but I was barely a whisper on the phone due to the lack of privacy. I was delighted to here one of my good friends from school on the other end of the line….. She immediately understood that I was not in a position to talk so she hung up, promising to call me at home. I was rather curious as to why she called at such an hour so I casually sent her an sms asking her what was up.... only to figure out to my delight that she wanted to know if I could be her bridesmaid. I was simply thrilled and honor...
