Today
is the 16th “Busy as a Bee” Day of March 2017.
I
just finalized my “killer resume” after receiving inspiring feedback from Eddie
during my mock interview. I was suggested to add something to the INTEREST part
of what so called a killer resume, a one-sided paper which displays all my
qualities that would probably make myself get shortlisted, dated for a real
interview and eventually get employed as an auditor. #lol I did add ‘TRAVELLING’
to my personal interest in which it really is.
Mentioned
about travelling, my brain already started picturing about my next trip. My
travelling experiences were not bad at all. It was great and fun. I have been
to many provinces in my home country and I have also been to other countries as
well.
JAPAN,
FRANCE, MALAYSIA, THAILAND, LAOS and VIETNAM.
Japan
is the latest country I have visited through an exchange program “JENESYS 2016”.
It was a premium package of “TRAVELLING, VISITING and LEARNING” which I’ve got
to visit many different places and learn a whole bunch of new things.
SO,
where have I been?
First
Stop: TOKYO
I
still remember the freshly clean smell of Haneda Airport. It was mid-night but
the airport was still active. We were taken to a hotel nearby “Narita Airport”.
I keep mentioning about “airport” because it’s where the “START” and “EXIT”
button of the adventure located.

The DRIVE-ACROSS
The
JENESYS bus drove across TOKYO DISNEYLAND (oh-mai-gawd!). I could only see the
Mickey Mouse gate from distance (from the bus window, of course). I was glad
since Mickey and I were under the same sky, the same time-zone and just a few
miles away. It was a cloudy day like it was preparing to rain anytime. There it
was many high rise buildings, crossing sky bridges, tunnels, Tokyo Big Sight,
Tokyo Sky Tree, the view that no one’s going to get tired of eyeing.

The VISIT
The
bus took us to the ASEAN-JAPAN center located at Tower Hall Funabori where the
very first lecture was delivered by the Secretary General and other respected
guest speakers regarding economic integration, trade and investment. The
farewell party was also held in this place.
National
Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, MIRAIKAN. I’ve noticed the Japanese
visited there with group of friends and family. It was impressive to see the
young Japanese enjoying the robot show and technological-everything. Very
interesting!
Second
Stop: OSAKA
·
The RIDE-ACROSS
The
Tokaido Shinkansen Bullet Train introduced us the stunning view of Mount Fuji.
Everyone got their camera ready and attempted to capture pictures regardless of
the lightning speed of the Shinkansen.
·
The VISIT
-
DAIKIN Solution
Plaza: a showroom, home of various kind of air-conditioners and related
appliances.
-
The Knowledge Capital
Active Lab: I personally named it the “Museum of Creativity”. This is where the
output of human creativity combined with intelligence and effort are publicly
displayed.
-
Sakai City
Traditional Craft Museum: where I’ve leant that the Japanese used almost
hundred kind of knife to deal with different meat and veggies. There is a shop
selling tea, candle, snack and many more. My first encounter with Real Matcha
Red Bean Mochi took place there.
-
Sakai Solar Power
Plant and Sakaiko Power Station, Kansai Electric Power Co: It was a life time
opportunity to be there. Everything got me “wow”. Who has expected to see the
power plant this close? Never. *captured the moment by eyes due to photography
restriction*
-
Shimadzu
Corporation
Third
Stop: TAKASHIMA
Takashima
welcomed me and the fellow delegates with farm stay experience like staying in
Japanese style inn, taking public bath, tasting SUKIYAKI and side dishes and
night-walk as well as the early morning walk around the hills and rice field. I
miss HARU, the house I’ve stayed for two memorable nights.
Fourth
Stop: KYOTO
“KIYOMIZU”
the temple is beautiful as its name is pronounced. It was one of the popular
tourist sites in the old cities. There are small shops selling food, drinks,
products and everything in Japanese style.
“I
wouldn’t mind experience it all over again”
OVER
and OVER AGAIN <3
