We were invited to attend the NTU Convocation 2010 on Thursday 29th July. Our eldest grandson Daryl Aw graduated with Bachelor of Accountancy Degree and we felt very proud - the first grandson to graduate. In my own heart I was praising the Lord for the way He has blessed our children and grandchildren.
Three more grandchildren - Cheryl Aw, David Lim and Rachel Lim are National University of Singapore undergraduates. Their time will come.
Daryl was performing so he was able to obtain special tickets for grandparents, parents and his girl friend. We were seated near the front close to the platform. We sat for two whole hours and watched the proceedings.
As the music played "Land of Hope and Glory" the professors processed in from the back of the auditorium to the platform. There was pomp and show. One of Daryl's professors was none other than our good friend, Professor Victor Yeo who taught Daryl Company Law. He was formerly of Balestier Corps.
After the usual speeches, there was the presentation of degrees. One by one as the names were called, walked to the platform to receive the certificates from the Chancellor.
The ceremony lasted two hours. After that we adjourned to another area for refreshments. It was a great day for us and we returned home with our hearts filled with gratitude to God for His blessings on our family. God is great, good and gracious and we thank and praise Him for Who He is and for what He has done for us.
