...In the Name of ALLAH...
it's may 24th. already, i'm a year older than myself yesterday. may this year's gonna be a better one for me...insha-ALLAH...
my awesome friends hosted a simple 'surprise' party for me just 15 min before midnight. it's pretty predictable, actually, with manche's blunt comment that he's gonna come back soon enough. but, their efforts really made me happy. they bought me a cheesecake and a large fruit tart. awhhhh! うれしいいい。。。。 >___< (i don't mind repeating that they're awesome friends, they really are!)
in the morning, we went for a picnic at Niagara Falls, together with parents of aimi, napi, suhail, and boss. guess what, napi's mom shared same birthdate with me! napi and aimi bought her a cake and sang the birthday song as a family. somehow, it feels like home. after lunch, we all went for a ride on the maid of the mist to watch the beautiful ALLAH's creation, the Niagara Falls! then, we had great time enjoying the water 'stabbing' at the back at the cave of the wind. pretty painful, but it's really fun! after 3 years in the States, it's my 1st time to arrive at this point...so wasteful of time, i know. but at least, i got to celebrate the day together with dila, who's gonna return to Malaysia for good. i'm quite satisfied with that...
all in all, i'm so thankful of having these wonderful friends a.k.a. sisters and brothers all around me today, to celebrate the beautiful weather, and my birthday...TOGETHER.

...In the Name of ALLAH...
Today is the RIT graduation commencement for class of 2010. I should've been 1 of those walking down the stage, name proudly announced to audience, and receiving scrolls for all the hard work. But I'm gonna grad in May 2011, and that's my own choice. I wouldn't regret it... Anyway, back to the ceremony. I went to the College of Science reception and met many of our professors. Since I was not a graduate, so I came as a photographer of the day, though my camera is not big and powerful enough to compete with others...hmpphhh~
Some came with their family members, and it's refreshing to watch their excited reactions. As for those whose parents did not coming, they were still happy with adopted 'fake' parents, cousins, and even neighbors as companies during the memorable day. I wonder if my parents will be able to attend mine next year... (>__<) I did not get to sit properly at the Ice Arena where the ceremony for COS took place; I felt like a small kid sitting behind tall bars. When we watched the Malay graduates entering the arena amongst crowd of people wearing graduation gowns and caps, I felt such mixed feelings: happy, proud, sadness, loneliness. Indescribable emotions lingered around me. Over there, there went my 4-year roomie, housemates, classmates, awesome seniors, including those 3 from my batch graduating early [dila, tirah, aimi]. Too bad my camera battery got weak and dead soon after the event; so there were not much pictures/videos I could take.
I would try my best to not cry my heart out with my awesome friends' graduation today...since this is not a goodbye, but "see you later"...
I LOVE YOU GUYS! THANKS for the wonderful memories together all these years~
May you are blessed in life, and have a bright future ahead...all the best!
