    • FWR goes to Bishan Park Secondary School

      Posted by Miak Aw on April 20, 2010, 10:48 pm

      Thanks to a friend David, who wrote for The Nanyang Chronicle back in 2008. We were invited by Bishan Park Secondary School to give a talk about food wastage and food security using the findings that we obtained.

      Needless to say, we agreed to it immediately.

      The talk was scheduled on 12 and 13 April for the lower and upper secondary school students respectively. As much as we were excited, it was quite intimidating to speak to hundreds of students at one go.

      But looking on the positive side of things, if we can survive speaking in front of a few hundred students, surely we will survive speaking to four moderators (professors) during our FYP presentation. (FYI: We did survive, pics will come in the next entry).

      The talk was also the prefect chance for us to present a short film titled ‘Chicken ala carte’ by Ferdinand Dimadura.
