Public Relations Campaign Planning and Management

Finally, both Advertising and Public Relations modules are over. It's a tiring yet fruitful 18 days.

We learnt a lot, and played a lot. It's always fun with my clique of nine, and you can call us selfish, but we're really happy with nine. Not less, nor more.

Prof. Griffin was fine, not as notorious as we've heard. Actually, I think her rules are reasonable - things like being punctual, doing your assignments, participating in class. She's pretty entertaining too, with all the stories about her family and colleagues to emphasise certain points of the lecture. As long as you follow them and do your work well, she's really fine.

Second last day of PR lectures, all of us decided to accompany Celest and wear pink. Prof. Griffin challenged her to wear pink for all the 18 days of lecture, and no doubt, she made it, except for the last day for power suits.

See, our princess is all dressed in pink, even her socks and insides are pink - full set. (Except for James who refused to change into the pink shirt Celest brought for him. Good Daryl changed into pink...)

Time for some planning again. This time, crisis management. Preparation for our press conference, again in Pines KTV. We seemed like we were having a good time huh? Well, actually, it was pretty good, except for Jolene who was totally stressed out and thought the rest of us had nothing better to do.. oops...
See, she's singing with the styrofoam microphone and trying to swallow the small mic.

DV Camera; fake mics from styrofoam; speaker from a straw, pom pom and funnel; make-shift company tag - All out of the hands of our dear Celest.

And I gotta praise our spokesperson, Jolene. You did a great job answering all those questions! When we were asked why we chose Jolene as our spokesperson, I sort of wanted to answer, "because she has pretty dimples," but I went ahead to say because she has the composure to deal with pressurising circumstances like such - which is true too. Celest and I will go blank if it were us, and Anais would throw the chair at "hostile reporters." Hahahaha...

It's long overdue, but there you go...
My face's super white here... haha.. Anyway, we managed to meet up after a long long time for our Ms. Japanese-wanabe's birthday at The Chocolate Factory. Nina brought her huge SLR, but The Chocolate Factory didn't allow photo-taking at their premises, so we could only do with a few photos. Gavin the "abang" also joined us before rushing back to camp.

Getting gifts for Rice isn't too hard? We showered rice with presents that had everything to do with Japan. Pretty kimono fabric-made bags and pouches. Even I like them too.. Heh...

Cheers!!~
