Final Week

Lucas Gil

Practical Arts Administration

The first module to be over with. I swear, the final presentation went straight to hell for literally the whole department except for one group. I have been getting Bs for all 3 assignments but I doubt that the final presentation would pull my grade up to an A. The lecturer didn't explained to us what we were supposed to do for our presentation. Well, I was in Japan so I pretty much have no idea what was going on. All he did was gave us 2 Budget Forms and told us to present on them. Let's just say both 3A and 3B got thrashed by him except for Nicholas's group but even then, they were questioned by Mr. Tan, just not as bad as the rest of us. InsyaAllah, I will get a B for this module.

Entrepreneurship

It was the second module to be over and done with. I have been getting A for both the proposal and presentation. There was a slight hiccup over the final presentation but overall, I still think that I did fairly well. The final test was surprisingly easy and I'm really confident of getting an A for my overall grade. InsyaAllah, I will get an A for this module.

Customer Relationship Management

14 weeks later and I still have no idea what the hell did I learn from this module. It was by far my most messed up module because of my inability to pay any attention at all during any of the lectures. I pretty much screwed up both assignments, I got Cs for both essays but on the bright side, I really think that we did well for the final presentation and proposal submission. Mr. Andrew was quite pleased with all the details of it. InsyaAllah, I will get a B for this module.

Designs in Communication

Let's just say that pretty much the whole department screwed up the online test which was 40% of our overall grade. I got a C for it and our remaining 60% is on our final poster design submission which I am really proud of. Design is pretty much quite subjective and even though I have received a lot of compliments for my final design, it is pretty much my lecturer's opinion is all that matters. InsyaAllah, I will get a B for this module.

Graduation Project

It is literally one of the most stressful and drama-filled module that I have ever done in my entire life. Imagine having to manage 45 students under you for an event to cater to 240 students. It was literally chaos. Filled with headstrong personalities, constantly trying to get their point across and those who can't even be bothered about anything at all. If it is was up to me, considering that I was chosen to be the Chief Operating Officer, I would have fired about 30 of them and just worked with 15 of them plus Lim Hui, who was the Chief Executive Officer. I literally felt like killing most of them on a daily basis. Thankfully the event was quite a success, taking into consideration that this was the first time that the department has ever done such an event. InsyaAllah, I will get an A for this module.

Internship

Apparently, Internship was considered as one of Year 3, Semester 2 module. Truth be told, I don't even remembered what did I do for it other than being attached to Singapore Lyric Opera to help out with their production. Other than that, I'm really confident in scoring an A for it as my supervisor was one of the nicest lady that I have ever met. InsyaAllah, I will get an A for this module.

Pretty much my Year 3, Semester 2 result would be: -
Practical Arts Administration - B
Entrepreneurship - A
Customer Relationship Management - B
Designs in Communication - B
Graduation Project - A
Internship - A

Now I'm pretty much trying to get myself fully occupied while waiting for my University Applications to respond back. 

My May Schedule is surprisingly almost full.
3rd - 4th May - Wali Band Concert
12th May - PA3B Yacht Graduation Party
14th - 18th May - Koh Phangan Graduation Trip
21st - 24th May - Music Matters Live
25th May - Mom's Birthday Dinner

I'm so thankful that I get to work for the Wali Band Concert at Scape and also Music Matters Live 2014 at Clarke Quay/Boat Quay. On top of that, I need to do a proper proposal and prompt book for the concert, "Malam, Aku, Dia dan Lagu" as the organisers are planning to do one in Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta. Since I helped out with the one at Esplanade, and since I'm really good at the paper work, they have asked me to compile and sort everything out for them. F1 already called me up to work for the event again as Secretariat. InsyaAllah, I will take it provided that I am still studying in Singapore. I still need a part-time job though. After so long of constantly having people asking me if I want to help out with events, it really feels weird to be going out and trying to find a fixed part-time job. InsyaAllah, I will get one soon.

I have officially graduated from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts with a Diploma in Arts Management, Performing Arts. Syukur Alhamdulillah.
