OIC in YEAR 2000

TV room. We used to watch TV here. MAny participants from many 

countries watch common program together. Now days I think every 

room got own TV set.

Class room in year 2000. How about now?

Today is April 2000 and it's my turn to left OIC. My course started on April 13, 2000 and expiring on July 28, 2000, but allowance paid until 30 July 2000. It was attended by two participants from Malaysia, the Disney Lai and me.

Felt sad and happy going to leave this OIC, was normal though ... Happy because going back to their home and happy that want to leave my friends in this OIC.
During the course here I could walk in some places from the North (Hedo) came to the south (ITTOMAN), Zampa Beach and managed to an island name Ekijima. Go Nago three times and repeatedly beach party. Go Naha and Koza countless time.
While over here I have met with Dato 'Malaysian Ambassador to Japan. Managed together Malaysian students in OKINAWA, especially students from Ryukyu University. To Zainuddin, Flies, Bottle, Donuts, Rahul, cockfight, Tomel, Aweng, Arpah, An, Lela and other students I thank you for bringing me here and there to provide a special delicacies such as banana pengat ... Special to sister Lela, bilalah will I be able to eat spicy sour dishes Lela kak again. Kak Lela, thank you so much for helping me. Only GOD can repay you all-good.
If you all the opportunity to KL do not forget to contact me.

While here I could with several Malaysian players. First time to see Miss Sarimah could meet a week. Then he baliik to Malaysia. Then meet EN. Fadzullah time for a few weeks because of course a lot of this he went to the islands. Then meet EN. EDWARD TAN week could see even then only at the OIC during orientation then, she continues to go kat Nago.

Assalamualaikum wbt dan salam sejastera

Hari ini 29 Julai 2000 tibalah giliran saya untuk meninggalkan OIC. Saya mula berkursus kat sini pada 13 April 2000 dan tamat pada 28 Julai 2000, tapi elaun dibayar dari 13 April 2000 hingga 30 Julai 2000. Kursus ini dihadiri oleh dua peserta dari Malaysia, iaitu Disney Lai dan saya.

Terasa sedih bercampur gembira nak tinggalkan OIC ni, biasalah tu... Gembira sebab nak balik ke Tanah Air dan gembira sebab nak tinggalkan kawan-kawan di OIC ni.

Sepanjang tempoh berkursus di sini saya sempat berjalan di beberapa tempat dari Utara (HEDO) sampailah ke selatan (ITTOMAN), ZAMPA Beach dan sempat ke sebuah pulau namanya Ekijima. Pergi Nago tiga kali dan beach party berkali-kali. Pergi Naha dan Koza tidak terkira kalinya.

Semasa kat sini saya sempat berjumpa dengan Y.Bhg Dato' Duta Malaysia di Jepun. Sempat bersama-sama pelajar-pelajar Malaysia di OKINAWA, terutamanya pelajar dari Ryukyu University. Kepada Zainuddin, Lalat, Botol, Donat, RAhul, Sabung, Tomel, Aweng, Arpah, An, Lela dan pelajar-pelajar lain saya ucapkan ribuan terima kasih kerana membawa saya ke sana sini  dan menyediakan juadah yang istimewa seperti pengat pisang... Khas untuk kak Lela, bilalah agaknya  saya dapat makan masakan asam pedas kak Lela sekali lagi. Kak Lela, terima kasih banyak kerana membantu saya. Hanya Allah sahajalah yang dapat membalas budi-baik kalian semua.

Kalau kalian semua berkesempatan ke KL jangan lupa hubungi saya.

Semasa di sini saya sempat bersama beberapa orang peserta Malaysia. Mula-mula sempat jumpa cik SARIMAH sempat jumpa seminggu sahaja. Lepas tu beliau baliik ke Malaysia. Lepas tu jumpa EN. FADZULLAH sempat beberapa minggu sahaja sebab kursus dia ni banyak pergi ke pulau-pulau. Lepas tu jumpa EN. EDWARD TAN sempat jumpa seminggu sahaja di OIC itupun semasa orientasi, lepas tu dia terus pergi kat Nago.

Assalamualaikum
Now it's my turn to leave the earth Okinawa. Actually not much that I want to convey. Indeed, many experienced bitter-sweet experience for six (6) months of being here. Starting mid-November, only I was the only Malaysian in the OIC. But thank God I met with friends from Indonesia. So are friends to speak Malay. Although alone in the OIC, I feel grateful that there are still other Malaysians in Okinawa this earth. Many thanks goes to Mrs. Halela family that helped me a lot for being here. If there is a chance he contactlah (884-5189). Not forgetting the sdra. Azad and his wife, Azizah. Malaysia will be back soon. The same goes to Malaysian students at Univ. of the Ryukyus, especially sdra. Zainuddin (Din), Fadzli, Saad and others. If you feel like eating shrimp paste, contactlah sister Sarah and Nakahara-san. If longed to eat roti canai, do okay with Din or Sad. Despite diperantauan joyous this year, but still feels the Feast atmosphere with their presence on earth all this Okinawa.
If you want to make friends with Japanese, contactlah Miyagi-san (878-3518) and Uncle Higa (fluent in Malay). Although we are free to do anything here, but do not forget the religious beliefs, customs and national reputation. Do not go to waste the sacrifices and trust


Assalamualaikum
Kini tibalah giliran saya pula untuk meninggalkan bumi Okinawa. Sebenarnya tidak banyak yang ingin saya sampaikan. Sesungguhnya banyak pengalaman pahit-manis dialami selama enam (6) bulan berada di sini. Mulai pertengahan bulan November, hanya saya satu-satunya warga Malaysia di OIC. Tetapi alhamdulillah saya dipertemukan dengan kawan daripada Indonesia. Jadi adalah kawan untuk bercakap Melayu. Walaupun seorang diri di OIC, saya rasa bersyukur kerana masih ada lagi warga Malaysia lain di bumi Okinawa ini. Berbanyak terima kasih diucapkan kepada Pn. Halela sekeluarga yang banyak membantu saya selama berada di sini. Kalau ada kesempatan contactlah beliau (884-5189). Tidak lupa juga kepada sdra. Azad dan isteri, Azizah. Akan balik Malaysia tidak lama lagi. Begitu juga kepada pelajar-pelajar Malaysia di Univ. of Ryukyus terutama sdra. Zainuddin (Din), Fadzli, Saad dan lain-lain. Kalau teringin nak makan sambal belacan, contactlah kak Sarah dan Nakahara-san. Sekiranya rindu nak makan roti canai, buat baiklah dengan Din atau Saad. Walaupun terpaksa beraya diperantauan tahun ini, tetapi suasana Hari Raya tetap terasa dengan adanya mereka semua di bumi Okinawa ini.
Kalau nak buat kawan dengan Japanese, contactlah Miyagi-san (878-3518) dan Pakcik Higa (fasih berbahasa Melayu). Biarpun kita bebas melakukan apa saja di sini, tapi jangan lupa pada pegangan agama, adat resam dan nama baik negara. Usah disia-siakan segala pengorbanan dan kepercayaan yang diberikan

Bye! bye! see you soon in Malaysia.

Jangan pulak bila dah pandai makan sudhi, nasi lemak dilupakan.

Bye! bye! jumpa lagi di Malaysia.

Previously, sadly want to leave Malaysia
Now, sadly want to leave Okinawa
Says the ... did not know then do not love
However, there is Happy everywhere
Waiting for this moment some horrible persevere.
Religious honor guard
Keep the good name of the nation
Keep the reputation of Malaysia
I do trust that you

Dulu, sedih nak tinggalkan Malaysia
Sekarang, sedih nak tinggalkan Okinawa
Kata orang... tak kenal maka tak cinta
Namun, Bahagia ada di mana-mana
Tabah aje menanti saat begini.

Jaga kehormatan agama
Jaga nama baik bangsa
Jaga reputasi Malaysia
Itu amanah saya buat anda
