What a night! I never thought advertising would be this happening. I know it's fun, but this is way out of my league. The people, the ceremony, the glitz and glamour.

There I was seating alone with all this other students from Lim Kok Wing, The One and IACT. Talking to some new friends, Roy and Ethen, I was asked the first ever hard to answer question. What was I doing there? All of them are taking graphic designs etc. All of them are from the creative side and I'm the only who study Media Planning and Advertising Management. I don't even study drawing in UiTM.

And all I got from an experience of a lifetime is a Special Merit Award. In layman eyes its nothing, but for the about 300 students who entered the contest, its an achievement to cherish. Can't say that I'm not frustrated, but I lost to the better team. Congrats Roi and Ethen!

Thinking about it again, I guess somewhere inside me, I want to be a good practitioner to be. I want to know how to take care of an account and be creative too. I hope it's an advantage for me. With the world going fast forward, multitasking is the way.
