this is da peace of writing which i sent for the graduation souvenir...i have be completly honest wit ma self in it..belive me no crap talk.. :)
"Obtaining a first class degree was my only dream when i joined SICI and i am thrilled that i achieved it. Indeed this is one of my greatest achievements in life and I will cherish it for a very long time. Even though this might not take me to the peak, but what is important is the belief that we gain through our achievements, which will push us forward and make us achieve more.
I joined SICI after two failed attempts at A/L’s. But I always knew in my mind that the reason behind it was not my inability but the lack of hard work. I deeply regret that I couldn’t devote enough time for studies during my final years at college due to the extra activities I was involved in. We cannot see our past failures as reasons that we can’t start over. Just need to see them as obstacles to success. Surely we need to learn from the mistakes and also we might never learn otherwise.

When i look back at the past three and a half years at SICI it was certainly challenging but enjoyable and filled with lovely memories to be cherished a life time. All these would have not been possible without the guidance and care rendered to us. I would like to take this as an opportunity to thank all the local and foreign Lectures who thought me and supported me at both Diploma levels, Final year and to date. I would also like to thank all the friends whom stood by me through thick and thin, and most importantly to my Parents for supporting me in all aspects. Last but not least I thank SICI for giving us the opportunity to complete a recognized bachelor’s degree from a well ranked university in UK, without moving abroad.
Lastly to all the undergrads and my fellow graduates, we don't enter Universities as geniuses, and we don't leave as geniuses. We leave as learners, who are determined to succeed. No one needs you to succeed more than you do, no one else can make you successful. You are the one to determine how much you'll achieve. Wishing you all, the very best. Esto Perpertua! "
