Hi-tea at Japanese Ambassador

Got stress doing my report. So started to blog for awhile~ ahaha. As state above, this Hi-tea happen on the 29/3/2008. The Japanese embassy wanted to congratulate us (BJFA-UBD Chapter) on the hard work we put in the Japanese Language and Culture week. Since it was a huge success. They provide us an opportunity to go to the Japanese ambassador house and have hi-tea there.

Here is a group photo of all the people present.

Kendo people taking photo with Mr Miyazaki (we call him Miyazaki-sensei since he's already a san-dan (3-dan) rank) in the embassy doing a stance called Jodan-no-kamai.

If I'm not mistaken, the next picture is the japanese house wife with our Japanese teacher (second from the right) with orang menyampuk (takashi-san on the left). Miss Kono on the right is the person who taught some of us BJFA-UBD chapter member how to do ikibana (flower arrangment).
Here is a picture of Japanese people (including the ambassador, Mitsubishi corp people, one of the Japanese embassy people- Mr Ogihara on the far right, Japanese house wife and our Japanese teacher) with Lim Han (head of BJFA-UBD chapter) and Head of Language Center in UBD.

Random photo taken during the entire event~ ehehe

A 3rd Dan Kendo Sensei becomes a bartender. O.O

Calligraphy. Sited next to the entrance. I find this spot a beautiful place as the calligraphy is hang above a stone surrounded by smaller stone. The place is then covered by a skeleton like box (a frame la).

On the right, always saw her whenever there's event concerning with the Japanese embassy. I think she is the translator. On the left, she talks to me about some of the japanese culture when i was there. She told me about the "Hina-Matusri" (means Hina doll festival). Its a culture where they celebrate an event for girls. This festival is for the Japanese people pray for girls' happiness and health, eating special food and is held during the 3rd March (obtain from http://gojapan.about.com/cs/japanesefestivals/a/japanesegirlday.htm).

At present time, I can't seems to upload the Hina-Matusri dolls that was display there. ^^ So, i stop here for awhile. Ah, good luck to the people who's going to sit for their exam soon~ Well then guys. Cheers~
