Final Reflection

Looking back, i remember how advertising class was the class that would make me most nervous.
1) every lesson, we had to run to class, as the attendance list gets removed at exactly 9 o clock.
2) Section A would always tell us stories about how professor is in a bad mood, or how the work load would be crazy that day.
3) with every presentation, we get so nervous. Sometimes it is because, we do not feel that our hard efforts came up to mark, other times is because we cannot seem to predict what criticism we would hear that day, and what results we would be receiving.

as everyone would mention, one of the things that we are very thankful for, and initially really shocked by, was the fact that we were not able to choose our own team-mates. E-fei, Lydia, Wei qi and Michelle was my group mates. And i am happy that they were. I believed things would not have gotten half as interesting if it was my usual group of people.

this semester is my last semester in Singapore, in just 25 days, i would be flying over to New york, Buffalo. My mum hopes that i can complete my degree and masters there, that means, 5 years in bufflao, and then i would have to return back to indonesia for good. Professor bob, really made this semester a great one. everyone bonded. it is sad though that section A and Section B had to be seperated. i wished that i had the opportunity to bond with section A people too. But nevertheless, I love my section. I ended up becoming extremely good friends with Xinyu. And i got closer to Weiqi, ka ming, Shem and many others.

I know many thought, and still thinks that i am crazy. But. When i go over to Buffalo, guess that course did i take? ADVANCE ADVERTISING! :) i still am not exactly sure if this is really what i want. but i guess it is the addiction that i have towards the rush of doing the work, the intense emotions, then the final results. it's really an addictive process. Hard as it is, i know that i will miss these times. however, i am not all that excited about taking this course in bufflao. maybe it is because, Professor bob would not be the one teaching there. And i am not sure how the lecturer would plan to torture his students! :) but i guess, the fun in life is in the unknown right? plus, i love that roller coaster ride!

Advertising seems like a very tough job. Not because of the work, but because of how it really is not all that it seems. what do i mean? i have a friend working in the advertising industry, and according to her, she says that it is tough, as she has to 'suck up' and 'boot lick' alot of people. it's tough, as she is the kind of person that loves to speak her mind, and for me, i think that it's going to be tough, cause i never, ever want to be someone who does that. Not that i feel that it is wrong or anything, it just feels hypocritical, and i never want to end up being someone who has two faces.

The semester is coming to an end now. Timbre was most probably the greatest ever. Goodbyes were all said, tears all shed. My one last final lap in Singapore. the only thing i wish to happen would be that, 10 years down the road, when we all have grown up, some with family and others with high position jobs. i hope that we can all gather together, remain friends, and reminiscence.

Goodbye Prof, Goodbye Friends, Goodbye love, Goodbye Singapore.
