Congratulations

My brother added an extra something to put after his name today – MBA (Melb). Well done bro! So proud of you.

Mum and dad got really excited last night, busy picking outfits for the occasion, making sure their colours matched that of my brother’s academic dress – hood of skyblue-lined black silk with gold band. Quite nice actually.

It was a freezing autumn morning, with rain drizzling. While it was hard to leave our electric blanketed beds, everyone was ready and we left the house at 8:30am. Not to mention that my sister and I had to fight for the hair dryer.

Before the ceremony, it was, of course, photos taking opportunities. It was lots of fun, everyone took turns to take pics with my brother, mum & dad, mum only, dad only, then the two sisters, then mum & the girls, then the whole family……so many “combinations”, you name it.

Have to laugh at my dad though. He brought the full professional set of camera with him, with the stand and extra long lens and many more…..but have to admit, the picture quality is so much better than those from the digital cameras. He was enjoying himself too and that's good.

Now, a short afternoon nap before another celebratory dinner tonight.
