There's no more words that could expressed the gratitude that I've been feeling this past few weeks..I just attended my convocation last saturday in UPM.As hot as the sunny sun was,it didn't matter to me..I'm finally graduating!My black long dress didn't even bother me eventhough I sweat like a pig (my husband direct translation as "bepeloh cam babi" lol) I knew that inside the hall the air-condition will be freakingly cool..
It was wonderful as both my mama and my mak made it.Though they have to travel all the way from Pahang for me, I knew that they knew how much I wanted them there..And not to mentioned the new level of my husband patience was being tested as he had to drive back and forth from UPM-Pekeliling-Puncak Alam-UPM.Just to make sure that he kept his promise to me.That he'll be waiting for me outside the hall.My dear papa was also very kind to just go with everyone's flow eventhough he was very hungry due to not having lunch prepared by me..My Along,who got his SLR lenses cracked due to the over-excited classmates of mine who did not throw the mortar board up high but to the front..(I am truly sorry long,I'll make it up to you one day,that's a promise) and lastly, my dear nephew, who was such a good sport fallowing his Uncle Ijad ( in faris words "Untle ijat') around without causing any trouble..
It was rather emotional to me as I tried to fight back my tears..remembering how much I wanted this degree.And how much my mother spend her time,energy ,and money to makesure that I'll made it this far..As walked out the hall and I saw my mama,she said "Tahniah sayang,mama takde bunge untuk Lin,malam ni kite dinner mama blanje.." and I said to her, "it's okay..Trime Kaseh ma.." and I said to myself,I should have said some more things,but we were caught in that moment.We were just hugging and kissing each other cheeks with the teary eyes.
I guess she knew that I'm lost for words and I truly hope that one day I'll be able to say all the things a should have said to her...Mama,you're my inspiration..and forever will be my hero...I love you...I'm tearing up now,so I guess I better stop...Please do not take your mom for granted..
