PhD graduation ceremony

Yeah! Officially completed PhD at Exeter Uni. Attended graduation ceremony last month. Unlike Malaysia, I like the fact that the flow of events here is simple as there is no so many speeches from VIPs and stalls that sell flowers and souvenirs. Come on, after all it’s our big day and not VIPs’. Too many stalls selling flowers and dolls make me feel like the graduation ceremony is sort of commercial event and seems to make the entire ceremony become a market place.

Although it looks good, but it is challenging when ice formed on the next day. Icy road is slippery and sometime could be dangerous. (imagine you’re skating on ice with sport shoes)



Luckily I got a ice-spiker recently, this helps me to walk comfortably. 



Enjoy your snow then :)
