29 November, 2009, The day had finally came! It's time we all go to Sheraton Hotel for the orientation and staying there for one night! We are supposed to be gathering around the lobby at 2 PM, but somehow, like Japanese people, almost everybody are already there in 1 30 PM! Guess that this journey is getting more and more exciting to us!
Then, the chaperons arrived, and there are already JICE (Japan International Cooperation Centre) staff there and begins the registration. We received a big envelop containing our name tag, schedule for 30 November, 1 December and a small handbook. After that, it's all about carrying the big mass to our rooms.
While the orientation will start at 3 PM, we all arrived at the lobby 10 minutes before that time. In the orientation, we were briefed about JENESYS, our schedule in Japan and also tips on how to live in Japan.
After the orientation, the students prayed for Asar and Maghrib Prayers.
In the evening, we ate at the hotel's restaurant, that is, Tasek Basserie. Guess what, we got a surprise for Cikgu Zariah because her birthday was today! After the dinner, we all had another meeting because of some major changes to our timetable, and we are off to bed at 10 o'clock!
