On 19th - 21st August 2013, our school played host to 25 students as part of the Malaysia – Japan
Cultural and Educational Exchange Programme for 2013. 25 students from our school had volunteered to
be the buddies of these students and to house them in their homes.
On 19th August our SSB students went to the Corus Hotel in K.L to meet our new Japanese
friends. Our Japanese friends were very polite but very shy. During lunch time they warmed up to us. After
lunch, we headed back to school for the opening ceremony. The Japanese students put up a short performance and then followed their foster families home.
The following day, Tuesday, the Japanese students were taken to the cookery room and taught
how to make ‘onde-onde’ and ‘lipat pisang’. They were taught how to make and play our traditional game of
‘batu seremban’.
On Wednesday, the Japanese students were taught the art of ‘Batik’ and were given the opportunity to try their hand at it. The paintings done by them were later
given to them as souvenirs to be hung up in their schools in Japan.
Later, they were introduced to the dish called ‘Yee Sang’ which is
usually prepared and eaten during the Chinese New Year. They
were also taught how to make Chinese lanterns with ‘angpow’
packets. They were then introduced to the Indian culture of making a ‘kolam’.
Soon, it was time to say farewell to our Japanese
friends. During their short stay with us, they had endeared themselves to us and we were genuinely sorry to see them go. We then
gave them souvenirs to take home.
They took back sweet memories of our time together and we, ourselves, were enriched by their short stay with us.
Sayonara, till we meet again.
