When we reached the Guides HQ, we were immediately ushered to a cozy room on the third level. There, we waited for Mrs. Mindi’s arrival. When she arrived, worksheets were immediately given out and we launched into a meaningful lesson.
Firstly, she went through the requirements of the course thoroughly, giving us tips on how to air and make beds, washing our own shoes and to prepare nutritious meals, bringing us through the finer points of nutrients and their values. After a short period of rest, we started the hands-on session, splitting into groups to take on the different challenges such as making a bed using a flat sheet ,setting the table for Western and Asian cuisines, learning how to make pineapple jam, and hemming.
After that was done, we cleared up and sat down for the conclusion. It was quite fun and the lessons were quite interesting and meaningful as we learned a lot from an experienced instructor.
In conclusion, I’ve learnt how to hem as well as other useful skills . The pineapple jam was an interesting touch too!

Hemming was rather tedious. Everyone needed to pay close attention to the details!
