I hope you guys had as an enjoyable time as I had during the bobby pin practice sessions! Even though I'm a tad disappointed that we would not be able to carry out our workshops in the end, I'm sure we all have gained so much for the whole period of learning. Not just the new skills learnt alone, but also friendships that have been deepened through helping each other with making the bobby pins and sharing our creativity with everyone. :D All the laughter and fun that we have experienced through learning festival is something that I will definitely treasure.
I hope you guys will continue making bobby pins in your own time even though we don't have anymore practice sessions :] And I'm sure that we will always continue to have more times for us to bond in this way, through service learning and projects etc.

Hey yooooo a04! :D
I think most of us feel the same way about this whole 'bobby pins' issue. We did not start off well as a class due to this, but amazingly, God has other plans for us! It will be such a lie to say that we did not bond further through learning how to make bobby pins together. Many of us scorned the idea initially but little did we imagine how much fun we are going to have together! Honestly, it is indeed very heartwarming to see everyone put in a lot of effort during the practice sessions just so that we can make at least a decent bobby pin based on what we learnt.
Personally, I remember not favouring the idea much as I found that the other ideas by my other classmates are more interesting and fun. I did not have much faith in the whole thing but I am not ashamed to admit that I was wrong. Friends and peers have shown much interest in our bobby pins and many commented that they are nice and cute!
I honestly feel disappointed when I found out that the Learning Festival will be postponed or even worse, cancelled. It feels as though our efforts had all gone down the drain. However, as cliche as it may sound, it is indeed a blessing in disguise. This whole thing definitely bonded us further and sparked our interest in bobby pins! (:

To start off, making beaded bobby pins have never crossed my mind at all. However, when Brenda suggested the activity of learning to make them, I did not know it could actually be quite fun! Before I tried making them, they sounded so easy to be done, just some beads, shape the wires accordingly and voila, a beaded bobby pin is created! As we went on with our practices, it was actually tough to really come up with a nice and proper design for the pins. I already had problems at the start, especially on how to place the beads properly and how to neatly end it off.
As time went by, with more help from our guru(BRENDA, haha!) and other classmates, I finally started to get the hang of it and my bobby pins’ design improved more each time. It was an accomplishment ok! I felt contented with the beaded bobby pins I’ve made and sometimes, had the fun of wearing them with other classmates and taking pictures! A little of showoff of our own creations won’t hurtJ.
Anyways, well done 09A04 for our endurance in learning to make the bobby pins! It felt so nice to see that we had done around 60 bobby pins altogether as a class and they were awesome! However, we hope that they will not go to waste now that the learning fiesta is cancelled. I hope we could still gain profits by selling them or something, then maybe we could donate to charity. See, we’re doing a good cause for people! Furthermore, I think we will feel very happy and as if there is a sense of achievement in us when we see people using our bobby pins. All in all, the process of learning this together was very entertaining and true enough, we have gained a new skill.
MUSE-firah championship.. and im so long winded.
peace out.

Learning how to make bobby pins was definitely fun and something new! I love every session although my fingers hurt a little haha. It’s not something ordinary that I would do every day, so it was good experience for me! At first I was not supportive of it and was thinking make bobby pins for what?!! But after learning, especially the beautiful flower design, I love it! Although I wouldn’t pin it on my head, but hey I think some people actually will! I’m kind of sad that learning fest is cancelled. We spent so much time and effort and now it’s cancelled thanks to H1N1 ): Nevertheless, the time we spent together as a class trying to figure out how to twist the wire and such and the new skill learnt will not be forgotten! (:

HOHOHO! (:
I must say that I did enjoy every bobby pins making sessions even though initially I was not very enthusiastic about it. Perhaps that is because I am not a girl who enjoys wearing such accessories! However, now I like to make those beaded bobby pins [ not that I like to wear them now ] especially when we do it as a class. :D
There has been a lot of fun during the sessions of learning how to make beaded bobby pins, especially when we think of making pretty pins. It has certainly been a great time for class bonding too, with everyone helping each other, especially BRENDA! She is the one who truely knows how to make beaded bobby pins and it is really nice of her to be so patient with the rest of us who know nothing about it!
It is really quite a pity that the entire Learning Festival is cancelled, if not this skill can be passed on to more people. :/ Still, I hope to say that I have indeed learnt a new skill today!!!!!!!
Register no. 3 HUI JIN :D

Hello 09A04!
Personally, I feel that this learning journey experience has been a great one! Truthfully, at first, I was not interested in learning how to make beaded bobby pins. However, after the first session, I'm starting to like making beaded bobby pins! Even though the learning process was quite difficult (my point of view), but I think now I can make decent beaded bobby pins! It's such a pity that Learning Festival was cancelled, thanks to the H1N1 pandemic. Oh well! I guess it was not meant to be! (Haha!) Hopefully, we can come up with an idea to sell the beaded bobby pins that we have painstakingly made just for the Learning Fest! & I also think that, the sessions that we have together have unleashed many potential among us! (Right Right?) Till then, Sayonara! <3 Herianti
