Learning Fest 2012/ FSC Club

The Learning Festival is a half-day event held annually in National Institue of Education (NIE). It is a platform for members in the NIE Community to boost their existing knowledge and skills through attending workshops held by the various clubs in the community.

And I have my privilege to be part of the Food Science Club, in short FSC, where we are involved in the preparation and assisting of the learning fest. The theme of the event is 'Carnival'. We contributed through practical way of offering assistance such as the decorations, food preparation and going down to the micro level of decision making. The event was an eye-opener because we get to observe how the seniors go about planning big events like this, which indeed is useful in the future as a teacher for us.

Enough of my blabbering, let the pictures do the talking :)

Isa- One of our participants for the day:)
He mentioned that he enjoyed the cooking sessions very much, though he felt helpless
but at least he understood how tired his mom felt after cooking meals for the family.
