Congratulations!!

The world is now at your feet!

Well, sort of.

XD

...

A close friend of mine graduated from The One Academy recently.

After studying in Form 6 in St. John's Inst. KL for 2 years, he undertook an Advertising & Design Diploma course at The One Academy (TOA) after winning a RM30k scholarship from a Merdeka drawing competition.

Despite his 180 degrees turn from what he studied in Form 6, he persued a future in the arts; communcation design, to be exact. He excelled in this field which was his passion since young. He is extremely talented in figure drawing, marker rendering, and all stuff artsy, but eversince TOA, he developed a keen sense in advertising, illustration, web design and concept art.

He even helped me in my assignments during MY varsity years! Thanks to him, my team got the grades. :-P

(i believe, i took this picture.......... see? i have some sense in photography too, eh? LOL)

All was well during the graduation ceremony at Sheraton Imperial Hotel, Subang. All, short for a few minor computer glitches and the drowsy speeches. =S

The star of the day was gleaming from the very moment he put on his robes, till he returned them at the end of the event. Well, he very well should be.

He's graduating!

Here's one whit the family =)

What's next?

He's due to further his studies to obtain a degree the UK. Flying off mid August, i think. =P

So here's to you, Yoon Kiat, my dear friend,

May you excel in every part of your life from here on forth.
Go all out and see the world and widen your horizons.
Be bold and go where we may not be able to reach.
May you have a wonderful and safe experience in the UK learning and exploring and sharing.

Never let a moment slip by without making the best of it!

All the best!
