All in all, it has been a wonderful and memorable journey with a fantastic group of people in ES2007S Group 7. I am particularly glad that I have come to realize that there is certainly much more to just plain talking and writing in the regime of communication. This is certainly a worthy module to be taken and I am pleased to have the honor of taking it in my final semester as a NUS undergraduate.
Throughout this course, I came to learn more about the other lesser known aspects of communication, the importance of good command of language and the power of brevity along with the 7Cs. This module has also exposed me more into the various inter-cultural beliefs and practices. To top that up, this module 'forced' us to write wonderful resumes and application letters which are so ever essential for final-year students on job hunting sessions. Oh! Let’s not forget about the fact that this module actually allowed me relive the long-forgotten joy of blogging. (With this, I got a feeling that I am going to continue blogging even after this)
Back to reflection, I must say that I love the amount of passion and dedication that all of us have put into this module. Also, I am happy to have made new friends and discovered more things about myself. I love the amount of interaction that this course offers and the way that there is not a single lesson where it was boring and mundane. For this, I think all of us should thank our dear Mr. Brad for his dedication and commitment in the preparation and execution of this entire module.
To end, I will like to wish all good health and results. It has been a BLAST learning and working with all of you.
Adiós.

Reflection on Today's Oral Presentation
Firstly, I must really commend on the tremendous effort by the entire team of KKGS. It was really interesting working with each and everyone and I personally enjoyed the occasional debating over certain issues in the development of this proposal. I also particularly like the fact that everyone is willing to sacrifice for the team in a bid to produce a reasonably good piece of work.
For me, I am also quietly pleased with my presentation this time round as compared to the previous one. I took quite a while memorizing my part for the presentation and was glad that I could remember most of the points that I hope to bring across to NUSEU. I have also managed to overcome a personal challenge of presenting without much reference. I also feel that there is more fluency in my presentation this time given that we have put in quite an amount of planning for the flow of the presentation and the overall structure.
Our group, Team KKGS, wanted to surprise the audience with a “BANG” at the beginning and we eventually found it in the form of “The story of the eagle”. It was tough at the beginning during the first few rehearsals when I could not really bring myself to narrate the story with pure conviction and sincerity. We were even afraid that the audience will find the story boring and will not be convinced. Thus, I was extremely delighted when I saw a couple of interested and excited faces when I narrated this story at the beginning of the presentation.
One unfortunate technical issue was with the video, which malfunctioned a bit during the presentation. This was despite the fact that it was working well in every rehearsal that our team had. Though at full blast, the volume of the video was also not loud enough for everyone to listen comfortably. This was something that we had anticipated and thus Serene took the pain to summarize key points from each interview immediately after the videos.
All in all, as the “Chairperson”, I must thank everyone in Team KKGS again for all the good effort put in.
