My MA Convocation




11 August 2008 - My convocation. I obtained my Master of Arts in English Language Studies majoring in Applied Linguistics from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi, Selangor. My wife, Sandra and eldest son, Edward were with me at the ceremony. We left home at 7.00 am and were in UKM by 7.30 am. The other members of the family were unable to make it cos it was a working day! Don't worry guys!! I UNDERSTAND!!!! Anyway, it was truly a joyous and momentous occasion for me and my family! After all the hard work, I've finally graduated!! My hearfelt thanks to my wife, sons and mother-in-law for all the support and encouragement! My mum and family members also deserve special mention! U guys were a real help! And not forgetting my professors in UKM too especially Dr. Jamilah (better known as Dr. Jamie). Here are some photos I would like to share with you all! Regards and love to all of you!

Hi Big Bro, The pics are awesome! A sight to behold! More so the the achievement! Its a real Milestone for you & Family as a whole!

Wish Jo, the kids and I were there to be apart of the ceremony. Will catch up when we get back from Melbourne.

Bravo! Bravo!

Pray that more accomplishments will follow.

A verse from the Bible for you big bro!
Jeremiah 29:11-13
For I know The Plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. plans to give u hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and pray to me and I will listen. Then You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

A Quote from Zig Ziglar for u..
In times of Change a Learner Shall Inherit the earth will the 'Learned' shall find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with the world that NO longer exists..

Btw Jo says you should consider moving to Melbourne asap coz Teachers rake in a 'Five Figure' salary here. The news was announced as we touched down Melbourne on the 1st...

We love it here the weather and the people, the beautiful places and the beautiful houses..U shd make a trip here.

Take care and Love from all Here in Melbourne..Lil Bro, Jo, Ashley & Joshua.
