Programme Meeting and Lunch

The Environmental Studies/Geography and Development/Tourism programmes had the first of two exam board meetings on Saturday, 3 December 2011.

Issues discussed included GenNext module and non-GenNext course grades. Other matters such as research directions and next semester's teaching load were also tabled.

Getting down to business.

What better way to end an intense three-hour meeting than with some makan? The programme lunch took place the same day at the Tarindak d'Seni in Bandar Seri Begawan. Business chatter and serious faces were replaced by laughter, smiles and industrious eating.



One of the mainstays of the Tarindak menu is the famed ambuyat. Some of our expat colleagues took the opportunity to sample the unique delicacy for the first (and perhaps last?) time. 

John and Ken had their first taste of ambuyat.
Drs Yusnani, Edgar and Ken were (more or less) positive about the ambuyat experience. John was more enthusiastic, describing the ambuyat as "beautiful".

Although his expression here says otherwise.
The next exam board meeting for the three programmes will take place on Wednesday, 7 November 2011.
