Let the race begin!

Some of you are going to think that my blog is dead.
I believe it's on its way there.
On my part it is a sad case.
My memories of my university life is not recorded much as compared to my secondary school days.
I only have a journal to keep track of the busy life that I'm having now.

The past week has been busy alright.
Waking up at 7 in the morning to prepare myself for the 5-day, 9 session convocation.
This is my third time performing for my uni's convocation.
If you think that it is an easy job, go ahead.
It does look easy and sound easy.
For me, it has reached the peak of boredom because I can anticipate the events happening already.
It's the same process every session.
MC's instruction to audience in multiple languages
Arrival of the VIPS, play Grand March and Negaraku, sing Menara Ilmu.
Speech from VIP and then the ceremony starts.

I play music with the Jazz Band when the VC is giving away the graduation cert to the graduates.
We take turns playing with the gamelan and keronchong group.
I think the exhaustion comes from the waiting and sitting and boredom combined together.

On alternate days our clothes are fully black or fully white.
The attire is really an issue for me now.
My black shirt looks old and my white shirt is getting a little tight around the chest. @.@
The first black pants I wore made me have stomach cramps; yeah.... you can imagine it was THAT tight.
Thank goodness I have other black pants.

Last convocation, we receive allowance for playing for the convocation.
This time around we were not given allowance but were given free lunch and dinner instead.
The meals are sponsored by Malaysia Airlines, I think because on it were written the address of the airport.
The peanut packaging were branded from Malaysia Airlines too.
The airplane food is not bad.
We get fruits, nuts, puddings or jelly to accompany our main meal.
Our main meal is different everyday. But some how it gets sickening after awhile to eat airplane food every day.
But it's FREE. We simple can't resist free food. XD

Knowing that the end of the convocation week is the start of the busy academic life.
I went to the movies twice in two days to watch Nasi Lemak and Johnny English Returns.
Both are really good comedies that everyone should watch.

I have so many assignments lying around till the mid of Nov that I can't ignore them anymore.
So hence welcome the busy times again.
