SP Media & Comm
For the past few days secondary school students have swarmed singapore polytechnic. It’s the poly open house again. For them, O Levels were over and its the JPAE period. For me, poly is almost over and it’s the Uni application period soon.
Choosing between polys - that was such a long time ago for me. It feels especially nostalgic for me as graduation draws near, marking the end of my time in sp media and comm. Thinking back, the past 3 years just went past so quickly.
From learning the basics of communication and figuring how the media industry is like in Year 1
To learning more in-depth production, public relations and advertising, and getting more involved in organizing school events and parties in Year 2
And finally launching integrated communication campaign and industry attachment in Year 3
Thinking back, I was quite reluctant about choosing poly as 3 years seemed long compared to JC or private schools. But I’m now wishing this is a 4 or 5 years course.
They say Poly period would be the best time of your life. I say media & comm is probably the most exciting course in poly.

Self-discovery for Growth
Profile Test taken on goldinuniverse.com
Your mind is never at rest.You are continually striving to influence all those about you. You have some excellent ideas but you persist in trying to persuade others just how great your ideas really are. Maybe you are trying too hard. Take it easy – remember, ‘Everything comes to those who wait’.
You are in need of rest, some peace and quiet. You feel the need to be close to that someone special, that someone who can give you that special consideration and unquestioning affection that you seek. If you don’t find that ‘special someone’ and resolve your problems very soon, you are liable to become extremely introverted and cut yourself off from society.
All the problems that you have been experiencing of late seem to have become a part of your life and there is little that can be done to change the situation. Your emotions run high – but even though you feel as if at times you are about to burst this situation will pass. Try to release your pent-up emotions by participating in some extra physical activities like running, swimming, whatever. There must be some favourite pastime, not necessarily strenuous, that can help you to relax.
You are on tenterhooks and appear to be extremely nervous and upset. You are bored and you feel that life has far more to offer than this present day mundane existence. The way that you feel indicates that you have the need for a responsive and understanding relationship. You are prepared to follow up any opportunity which may present itself. However you are very choosy and you refuse to be swept off your feet unless integrity can proved to be 100% genuine. Therefore you are holding back, keeping your emotions in check because before you let down your guard you have to be sure. You are too trusting and you have no desire to be hurt again. You are responsive to conditions around you – but forever under control.
Being afraid that you may be prevented from achieving your hopes and dreams is making you anxious and nervous. As a dreamer your ideas can at times move into the realm of fantasy and you could be following that so called illusive dream.
I must say this is relatively accurate. Choosy, pent-up emotions, actions kept in control. Been pondering about these, and its good to be more assured that these are my current situations so I can work on them.
Will blog about Christmas soon. Have fun in life. friends!

Off You Go, Spectacles
On a random decision, I’ve taken off my spectacles on every morning I travel to work. Of course, with my 400 degree myopia, my vision became very blurred.
I think I’ve been seeing the world, life and people too clearly for the past years. Too frequently exposing the ugly truth of people. It’s time for a change. I guess at some stage of life, it’s better to be unclear and start exploring more.
I feel a little insecure but a lot more interesting and peaceful. I would also become clumsy in front of so many, but I learned that opinions of you, from people who aren’t important, really don’t mean anything.
The whole world becomes visionally undefined, filled full with possibilities.

I dream to have a warmer disposition
I dream to be a more cheerful, eloquent and active person
I dream to live a life of class and elegance
I dream to play the piano and violin
I dream to live a life of spiritual pursuit
I dream of being a simple person
I dreamed of not being me

The Laughters
First week of internship has passed. So we did have dinner together this Friday. We’ve planned to have this as a weekly meetup. I can already see who are the ones we won’t see much after Poly.
Though for the previous 5 days I’ve been in school without the gang, that I hang out for the past 3 years, it wasn’t too bad. Tatami Room became our make-shift office. Campus Radio is sharing the place with the Comm Agency so that made 12 DMC people. That actually took away the sense of absence of my gang.
On Thursday we got a surprise from Ms Lum. She got us a little Xmas tree. That really made our day, and gave us more sense of belonging to our little place. That’s why she’s one of my favourite lecturers. So motherly, really. Hahah!
So Adam seems to be the happiest Intern, being surrounded by OLs, taken-care-of, with a posh environment(changi airport). Firdhuas too is enjoying himself every minute post-processing videos in a relac-one-corner suite. Feels happy for these two and can really see them going far in their fields.
Life at work can be quite tiring but unlike school, after work hours, you’re totally free. I’m enjoying this nuaing-at-home. And meanwhile Im looking forward to more work next week, and the next Friday meetup!

The Signs
It’s Saturday, and the coming Monday would be when we all start our internships. I’m not too nervous as I’m going back to the familiar building, just that it’s all now in professional settings with much higher expectations. I’d think everyone else are much more nervous, and worrying about their coming 3 months.
While I’m feeling quite comfortable, things become especially quiet.
Everything has slowed down since the dinner and party. I still check on my Tweetdeck but the updates on DMC group are significantly lesser. And I guess it’d only go slower.
We went iluma and Ion to get clothes in preparation for monday. Then the four of us sat in Starbucks and chatted about our past and future for hours. And I just pondered if we’d gonna meet and sit like this few years down the road.
As we enter new environments and leave old ones, friends come and go. We feel lonely in between but smile again when we make new friends.
We’re so adaptable, and I guess that’s how we survive.

The Goodbyes
The most sentimental part of last #nct lecture was not about the speech or the video. The most sentimental part was after Ms Nga said “End of Lecture”, with the lecture theatre going total silence for half a minute, then…
…the applause.
