After some 3 years in the United Kingdom, Clarissa-Anne attained her "Bachelor of Arts with Honours in International Media and Communications Studies" from the University of Nottingham (UoN) on 20 Jul 2017. It must have been a wonderful experience having been through the 4 seasons, in a distant land, so far away from home. Had probably completed some of her "bucket list" visiting "Harry Potter" filming sites, been through closely guard "secret pubs" and making short trips to various parts of the UK and Europe.
As for the Dad, it also the end of "potter service", bringing her Asian goodies and carrying back her "stuff" which she has gathered over the past 3 years. Thanks to WHATSAPP and SKYPE, the family has remain connected with her, as an when it was required. Technology also help much in funds transfer and interbank payment. Can just imagine the previous mode of "snail mail", carrying large amount of cash and overseas telephone charges.
The Family (less Aaron-James) was able to make a trip to be present for her BIG DAY. The theme for the Graduation - "The World awaits". Together with her friends, it was a day of celebration under the British Summer (not very hot !!!) before Mom and sisters embarked on a trip to France, whilst Dad attends an IMO Meeting thereafter.
London, was a place that I have visited in my earlier years whilst attending the IPWO Course, by the Royal Navy in 1986, Whilst there were changes along the way, there were many things that remained somewhat similar. I am certain that there will be lasting memories in time to come for her. A short video clip was done to mark the occasion : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7VHl1ROuZY&feature=youtu.be
