Convocation or Pasar Malam?

USM 40th Convocation..
It is also my convocation..
From being oval head (universal) to flat head (mortar board)..
Perhaps it is true wat Dr Lee said, " the more educated we are, the more unsustainable we become".

Let's check out these photos,
Green convo? well..perhaps much more work needs to be done.
No doubt it is a very steep learning curve for us.

This is what the committee claims, No plastic, No Polystyrene


And they claimed there won't be any bottled mineral water for sale.




New way of using polystyrene?

Impressive eh?

but why am i not suprised! We cant really 'read', pics might help?

Have gone opened all the bins..well WORDS really didn't worked!

Now you tell me, this scene looks a academic convocation or a Pasar Malam (night market)

oppss.. good try on the energy saving bulbs.. but this is taken during a sunny and very hot afternoon..sustainability? who are we fooling? Ourself perhaps.

And now...PIC OF THE DAY:

Circled in red is polystyrene container, the upper one are madefrom sugarcane pulp.. is this a joke or what? am convinced we are MOCKING the word sustainability!

Well this is only the first day of convocation.. am optimist about tomorrow..let's see what will happen.. there are more pictures to come..
