Hagi koen students want to share their culture by performing the art dance with clipping tools (forgot it name). I had done it once during the Japanese festival 2008 in Universiti Malaya. Very interesting =).

They were wearing ‘kain sarong’ and ready to perform the 'Poco-poco' dance.


After they finish with their dance, all of them and sensei were brought to sight-seeing at UiTM’s Gallery, PTAR 1 and Foyer Menara Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah.

Sharp at 12.45pm we had closing ceremony. Such a nice friendship!!!

Futsal at Sport Planet

I’m not a good futsal player. My housemate asked me to join the game..I refuse at first because I’m not interested in any ball game, but my housemate still asking me to give a try. Ermm so guess what? I’m out of my world, I give it a try…first time in futsal’s court make me excited, but after play for 10 minutes…Fuhh…so exhausted..i cant imagine that time, I almost puked. But I still under controlled. After all I enjoy this sport(only this night la)..Thanks to all my friends..

Japanese Festival 2008: The 2nd Annual

This festival organized for days at Dewan Bahasa, Universiti Malaya. Participants were from universities and secondary schools. 6 UiTM’s students (include me) joined the festival.

At the registration counter we were given a file consist of some papers and tentative programs. We also need to choose sub-programs for two days program because the programs run simultaneously. Each program runs 2 times. I choose ibiki, origami, yukata attire and dansu class.

Ikebana Class
- Cloth were used to wrap something such as obento(lunch box), presents, fruits and etc. Simple, useful and creative.

Origami Class
-I learned to make the box from papers only (no glue, stapler or tape). Make a box, it sound simple but quite challenging for me as beginner.=)
Sensei showed us many types of origami such as tortoise, tree, and flowers. Very impressive artwork.

Dansu class
- I had a chance to dance in this class but dun have a chance to be in picture..=’(
the music was like kitaro's music make us full of energy to dance.

Yukata attire class
-First time wearing Japanese attire. Felt like lived in Japan..hahaa



Aikido Class
- Self-defense suit for women and men. Aikido using defense strategy and use the attack’s strength of foe to fall down or seize the attack.

Hachiman High School

October 2008; around 150 students from Hachiman high school from Japan came to Univesiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Shah Alam. The program was about experienced the Malaysia's culture (also under UIC). There were 4 different sub programs running simultaneously-dance, culinary, sports, and art work. I was in-charged on culinary program. 50 Japanese students were under my supervision.

They were taught how to cook chicken curry, ‘pulut kuning’ and ‘kuih gula melaka’ at Faculty of Hotel and Management by the culinary lecturer. After that they need to cook and make the menu that had been taught to them. They enjoy doing these all stuff.

We talk lot of things such as our life, family, culture and country. I had studied Japanese language before (not an expert yet), so easy for me to communicate and get along with them. =)

Again thanks to Pn.Laila and UIC friends.
