Commencement - Nov 8, 2005

Finally, everything is done and i'm a MSc. now! In Hong Kong, the style of the commencement is quite different from what i had in UBC:

1) In Hong Kong, no shout/scream/clapping hands during the ceremony -> In UBC, we SHOUT for everybody! even we're queueing on the side of the stage.
2) In Hong Kong, no "hitting head" -> In UBC, "hitting head" is for everyone!
3) In Hong Kong, our dept course coordinator will walk us from seats to the front of the stage, then will shake hands with each students before we proceed forward up to the stage. This is soooooooooooooo touching! In UBC, we just queue on line and walk up to the stage for "hitting head" one by one.
4) In Hong Kong, we need to stand up and waiting to walk up to the stage, from the 1st person till you. In UBC, we can sit for the whole ceremony unless it's your turn to go up to the stage.

In whole, the ceremony is very touching ^______^
