Pedal Ubin! guides were subjected to some training last night and will continue on Friday. Finding the department was quite a challenge for some and the early birds were leaning against the corridoor railings hollering directions to distant figures. I warmed up the class with some nostalgic shots from the original series in 1999.
But I found I had to throw the syllabus out the window as the pace was much slower than I expected. I could only finish the common flora of plantations and gardens. The class was alert but required adequate instruction and offered interesting questions. I decided to just go with the flow and it was the enjoyable spot in what has been a very hectic month or two.
I will just have to offer more sessions at this relaxing pace and it will be better absorbed anyway. It's nice to be able to adjust the pace to suit the class. A pity most teachers don't have that luxury.
