Who doth giveth this lass a bizniz degree? 🤪 Swipeth for my OG grad pics @simonfraseru back when I was a wee lassie 👩🏻🎓
Never publicly posted my convocation pics so thank you @sfubeedie, for inviting me to host and welcome SFU’s class of June 2021 to join the alumni club; giving me an excuse to look back and reminisce!
Truly a pleasure and honour!
University life in Canada was one of the greatest experiences I’ve had in my life that value-added so much of my being today— I am for sure too nice/polite for my own good (it was especially tough being nice in China 😂), I learnt the importance of being green, turned into a huge foodie and a health enthusiast at the same time (if that’s even possible), valued outdoor activities so much more (summers in Vancouver is a dream 😍), made friends from so many walks of life, and oh I guess I also learnt a great deal about finance, economics and a lot of how the world works.
Campus life was one I dreamt about growing up in Malaysia with western media exposure and it really was an exhilarating experience! At my final semester during the summer, I worked 2 jobs and was at school full-time but I still had time for weekend volunteer work at my Church’s nursery, attended every beach barbecue I was invited to and threw multiple house parties— still graduated with a 3.75GPA (A- average) ✌🏻 Pretty sure I was working hard and playing hard before it was a meme 😅
Immersing in another country’s culture and philosophies not only helped me grow in my worldly knowledge but also helped me learn to appreciate my own country’s unique culture.
I will always be grateful for the opportunity my father gave to me to study abroad; and I hope to bestow the same fortuity to my future children 🥰
