9 November 2012, is my last day in school for the year 2012. It's a bit special because I joined an activity, where a few students of a school in Japan came to pay a visit to our school.
My school, English College, which appeared to be a 98-year-old man this year, had opened Japanese for the past decade. So, that's the main reason why we have this kind of activity every few months. This was the second time for me as my first one happened a couple months ago, which was a visit by students from Anochyo Highschool in Japan.
It was Kakeya Highschool from Unnan City, Japan this time. Their students arrived at our school neatly in their usual uniform at about 8am in the morning. Our Japanese teacher, Azah Sensei, paired us two by two as partners and we led them to the Mini Auditorium to have some introduction and performances.
The guide of their school and our Azah Sensei took turns to give speeches and the details of this activity. "This is the second time Kakeya Highschool have come to visit English College. Thank you very much as we really appreciate your visit. I hope all of you can enjoy everything we'd prepared for you." said Azah Sensei.
After that the two schools exchanged their gifts and they performed for the audience. Our school had 4 Malay students performing the Malay traditional dance, Tarian Zapin, while the Japanese students introduced their school and city to us.
My partner was Moeko Kikkawasan, who was 16 years old. We interacted in Japanese and English to know more about each other's school and country.
The teachers gave us about fifteen minutes to chat before we went to explore the museum of our Malaysia's third Prime Minister, Tun Hussein Onn, which was located beside the headmaster's office. It was the second time I went in and I really learnt a lot of things.
Then we brought them to the Galleri Seni to have a great chance to paint the Batik cloths. It was a very nice and unforgettable experience for them as they wouldn't get any chances to paint Batik cloths in Japan.
The activity ended at about 12 noon. We exchanged our gifts and the cameramen took a whole bunch of pictures of everyone. And then, it ended. Bye bye Kikkawasan.
