My First Dean's List Award

Some of us really anticipate this big day to come. Test season and final exam! It was the Dean List Award Ceremony. This is the time where all the extra hardwork and effort that we have put in to achieve excellent results paid off. Well, at least that is what our Head of Foundation Studies, Dr. Balbir said.

As stated in the date of every photo below, it was on 29 October 2008, at Chancellor Hall of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP). It was kinda a grand event though. This was my first time to step onto the stage, and to receive the award, some more from our dear rector, Dr. Zainal Abidin Haji Hassim. Experience of a kind, I must say.

The event started with the singing of PETRONAS and UTP song. Followed by Prayer (Doa) Recitation and right after that, it was the time for Dr. Balbir to give out his speech. Only 6 students managed to stand out by achieving CGPA of 4.00 or famously known as four-flat. How I wish I can be one of them but somehow, from what I can see now, it is rather impossible. I am not complaining. No one to blame except myself.

Then, the award presentation began.

The event ended around 4.30pm with the singing of National Anthem. A slight refreshment outside the hall.
