Received text message at 1949hrs Monday 6th.August'07 from 'Academic English for Graduate Studies BEL 600' UiTM Shah Alam lecturer En.Ahmad Mazli which read...
"Dear friends, Just to let u know that i'll be getting my PhD this Saturday in UKM Bangi.Sharing my joy with my friends. Mazli."
Later I enquired Prince, a friend a UKM graduate, about the parking facilities during Convos. (I am a UTM & UiTM graduate so sort of dunno about UKM-lah *grin* ). Prince said the parking space near the 'padang' /field next to the Dewan Chanselor Tun Abdul Razak the convocation hall, has ample parking lots for visitors. Anyway I took the turn to the mosque to park my car. Lucky but I had to 'squeeze' for a parking space.
Text msg Doc when he would be 'out' for I have been sweating in my blazer under the not-so-hot sun (price for wearing thick clothes in tropic weather! Talking about coming in style,huh?) . Doc text msg probably around 12 noon.
While waiting, met 2 UKM graduates Diddy and Fazli (the next day they are to recieve their scrolls ) and their senior Masli. Took pictures & had promised to publish their pic in my blog . (I hope they remember the blog's url...)
The Dewan /Hall compound was like 'Beijing Forbidden City'.It was 'chained up' & signages saying only 'authorized' people with special passes are allowed to pass through. That's okay. Anyway, most the people gathered around the green area not far from the main hall entrance or at the parking spaces by the sides of the Dewan.
Around noon when the session was adjourned and everyone was 'out', Dr.Mazli was nowhere to be found. I wanted to call out loud 'Doc!' but I guess at that time, place and moment, 'everyone' would turn around to 'acknowledge' my call for I was mingling around PhD's doctors! 5 minutes later we we able to meet up after I phoned him of his whereabout. Congratulated Dr.Mazli , PhD in 'Measurement & Evaluation' and we took photos. Congratulation also to all the other graduates! ...Being there was an very inspirational too.
