By the time we got to Nikko hotel it was already 1.00pm. Saw a lot of graduates taking photographs in the hotel lobby.
Before entering the lobby, we had to pass through tight security screening. We had to surrender our handbags and hand phones for scanning. There were at least 3 policemen manning the security post. "Ah... some delegates to the Asean conference must be staying in the hotel..." I thought to myself.
The ceremony held at the hotel ballroom started at 2.00pm sharp. The whole process took about 2 hours. One by one the successful graduates went up to the stage to receive their degrees from the university authority. After the ceremony, the graduates and their guests adjourned outside for a buffet lunch. The fare was rather bland and uninteresting considering the RM80.00 that we were paying. After the lunch we took a few snapshots together with David. We also posed for a family shoot with a studio hired by the university for the occasion.
The bouquet of sunflower that we brought to the hotel was more of a hindrance than anything. I noticed only a small minority of people bringing bouquets of flowers into the ballroom.
