Singapore Rocks - conclusion.

Yesterday, we organized a video link with the rest of the promotion in Singapore. We offered them a video sample of the Singapore Cabaret Act, and they gave us an INSEAD Singapore Video: DASH (or how to get from Heritage View to Campus in less than three minutes).
The Director of the MBA program and the super efficient logistics expert, both based in Singapore, made a guest appearance in the live Show...I quote: "this is the time when things shift. I will now be the one coming to you for help and support." An accurate reflection of reality.

A taste of the end - as the faces of our friends disappeared in the black hole of an un-powered TV screen, a feeling of satisfied sadness slowly mounted in me. The free-spirited jokes were not forced but they left a bitter taste in our mouths. The joyful hand waving occurred naturally but acted as a powerful reminder of an era that was and never is to be again.

I will see some of these Singapore friends on graduation day. And to everyone else, as the French say, "ce n'est qu'un au-revoir".
