That's it - August 6th, 2005 -- certainly one of the most thrilling, joyful, satisfying, tear-dropping (is this the right word?) days in my sister's life, actually in my life too :)
I can't say much more than, "Congratulations, ce," and show her a big big smile, and give her a big big hug. (Unfortunately I didn't have time to buy the flower :p)
Even without me looking back, I know clearly how much she has accomplished, much more than the masters degree itself.
All those days spent staying up in the office..
snacking chicken wings, dumpling, and nuggets in turn every night..
sleeping at 2 am, 4 am, 6 am, or not at all..
getting 8-for-6-dollars KFC for brunch and dinner for days in a row..
watching a bunch of tv operas (and x-files!) - just to keep awake..
staring on the computer monitors - just dunno what to do..
standing in an unreasonably long line
simply to handout your resume to a stranger..
and doing that tens of times, many many times a year, for six years..
and getting many many rejections, more often than not -- ignorance..
feeling down sometimes, just because you feel so tired and hopeless..
All these are not in vain. For through your endurance, confidence, and boldness, (and of course my support! :D kidding), you survived -- succesfully.
You graduated.. with that orange ribbon :)
kept that high gpa for life (4.0, I believe)
offfered a good, good position, in a good, good institution..
and yeah you earned it, you deserved it..
feeling so relieved, so.. relieved..
and the best of those all is.. you get to live with me now! :D
I am so thrilled, satisfied, full of joy.. and proud of you, cece ^_^. Mama papa too - are very proud and happy for you. Keep going, cause we believe in you. And don't forget, you can believe in us, too -- to support you with our very best.
Way to go, sis!! ^_____^
