Post-Examination Period

25 June 2009
Last time I always wanted to watch sunrise, and last year I forgot to watch. I can 't sleep well, so I planned to go watch sunrise. Where? Just watch at the balcony outside the kitchen of my hostel ^^. P/S: All the times stated in the [square barracks] are just rough approximation.

The sky still dark, and you can see the The Motherland Calls (Родина-мать зовёт) in Mamayev Kurgan (Мамаев Курган) in Volgograd [around 4.00 am]

The sky getting brighter, and you can see a 'red' cloud [around 4.30-5.00 am]

The sun started to rise [around 5.20 am]

A closer view [around 5.20 am]

The sun slowly rises up [around 5.30 am]

The sun rises high up above the cloud [around 5.45 am]

A further view [around 5.45 am]

God made two great lights - the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:16-18)

Today is the exam day for Physiology, so early morning I went to hand up my credit book to the Physiology Department. In 2.00 pm, it was the convocation of the graduates (from foreign countries only) from my university.

It was held in the hall. Before the ceremony start, all the students, parents and the professors were very 'kelam-kabut', everyone tried to find a place to sit.

The ceremony start with a small video clip or slide show. It was quite boring, cause it keep showing many nice scenes in different countries, until the last part I fell asleep and my friend from behind woke me up.

After the video clip, some professors gave some short speeches (not like in Malaysia). This person is Spasov A.A., the vice-rector of our university.


The ceremony continues by giving the certificates together with flowers to the graduates. You can see the graduate receiving the certificate from Spasov A.A. and his picture and name is displayed on the big screen. It took quite a long time, cause there is more than 100 graduates, and I heard that some of the parents fell alseep. By around 3.30 - 4.00 pm the ceremony finished. So what we going to do later? Go out outdoor and take photos!

Joshua, his wife Jean, and Zhuo Ling. Did you notice that Zhuo Ling's certificate is red colour?

The person in the middle is our pastor, Frank.

Jiann Woei, Khiong, Kok Tong, and Jeremy.

After our Sunday Service in the church, we have another small convocation in our church.


Convocation means we gonna said good bye to these brothers and sisters. Kind of sad actually......

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-8,11)

Well, there is time for everything, and I guess is time to sat good bye, but we know that we will meet again back in Malaysia, and most important, in the kingdom of heaven. Amens
