It
has been a good 12 weeks.
An
internship filled with interviews, parades and even volunteering.
I
remember arriving at Media Studies Unit’s (MSU) office not knowing
what to expect.
Now
I leave it with a heart full of experience and knowledge.
After
all, if you recall my earlier blog post, I had said, “Involve me
and I will understand.”
Now
having been involved in multiple projects, I have understood.
But
what I shall not forget is my colleagues’ kindness and camaraderie.
Although
I was just an intern for just 12 weeks, they treated me like any
other member in MSU.
I
even got to spend time with them during our corporate retreat.
Man,
do I still remember the corporate retreat,
especially the team-building part of it.
It
was fun! There were various team-building activities.
For
me the highlight of the day - paint ball!
That
was the first time I actually played paint ball.
Although
unnerving, the thought of being shot at was not really encouraging,
it turned out to be pure adrenaline fun.
There
we were, shooting at each other, colleague against colleague.
Truth
be told, I could not see anything through my fogged goggles.
Despite
being hit twice, I continued shooting for all it was worth.
Well,
at least I managed to take one of my colleagues down!
It
is never easy to say goodbye.
A
simple “thanks for everything” never suffices the breadth of
emotions running through our heads at the point of farewell.
On
the other hand, a long-lasting farewell would look too much like a
eulogy instead.
Such
is life.
We
come and meet and then we part.
But
this world is too small to say goodbye forever. Even smaller is
Singapore, with its 647 square kilometres of
land.
Who
knows, our paths may cross again.
With
this, I take leave of you, gentle reader, and pray for your
well-being as I wish you to pray for mine.
