Hannah MRSM graduation Oct 23rd, 2012

Today is Hannah's form 3 graduation day. And the first time ever MRSM Baling's graduation day ! This moment marks a very special time in every form 3 students life. The same goes to Hannah. It's a transition, a moving from one stage of life, to another. As such, I'd like to celebrate this special moment for Hannah in a blogging way: the creation of this page. Therefore, I'm writing this in honor and appreciation of my beautiful, talented, and very special daughter.

I'll loved to upload some photos, share a little bit moment about my daughter, and appreciate the many blessings I've received in raising her. Today, maybe is her last day of another year of school. Not just another year, maybe her last year of this school- insyaallah next year she will be moving to MRSM Taiping....

Sometimes ....there are events in life when i feel that time is flying by fast. Here is one event that made me feel that way. My Hannah's form 3 graduation. It seemed just like yesterday when I was buying her uniform for Q-Dees preschool and here we are now, at the end of that road and off to a new one...

The ceremony is approximately takes about 3 hours. This ceremony was a bit more special than other average graduation for a first timer like me. When we arrived at the school, we were handed a pamphlet. Usually these tell you what you can expect to happen, the schedule of what is to come...
Seating is available on a first-come-first-serve basis at the indoor hall ceremony. We really enjoyed the ceremony, it meant a lot to us. Everything was so organized and went quite smooth except the truly hot and humid temperatures...

While the speech delivered by one of the top man of Mara i was searching for Hannah name on the list and was quite surprised finding Hannah's name is listed as first class honour. Well back to my memory lane during my BBGS time, i would not count myself to be overly intelligent by any stretch of the imagination. So it was a thrill to see my daughter achieve her personal best and to do so well matching up the brains Allah had given her with the hard work and effort that she chose to put in to her studies.

The feelings were a bit overwhelming. Announcing those student receiving their certificates, finally I watched Hannah walk across that stage and I thought about how quickly these years have flown by.

As a mom it feels bittersweet, bitter that she is leaving behind childhood so quickly, but sweet because she is growing up into such a wonderful young lady. And i love you, not because you are beautiful, smart, creative, and talented, but simply because you are you...my girl, my very, very dear girl.
