[Road to Okinawa: Part 3] Preparation before Departure...

Briefing at JICA Malaysia Office

Among forms & gift from JICA Malaysia Office

On the 10th September 2015, the selected 15 of us were present at the JICA Office Malaysia at Menara Citibank, KL...
That day mark was the first day all of us meet and get to know each other before hearing a briefing by JICA and JPA...
The session being held by JPA and continue with JICA slot before we end the session with PAMAJA...
During the briefing we need to fill in few documents that mainly for VISA application and others JICA requirements...
We need to apply for the VISA since we were under training not a normal tourist...
Therefore if you were going there on a leisure, there is no need for the VISA application...
During the session we were told to select our group leader...
Hence we decided to choose Amin as our group leader and Ida as his assistant...
Just before the session ends, YLP Okinawa Whats App group was being created...

Discussion on Various Matters (via Whats App)
Since our departure is on 27th September 2015, we had more or less than 2 weeks to prepare for everything...
Right from choosing the committee members until preparing for the "omiyage"...
We do all our discussions via Whats App and in fact we do have an online poll...
The poll was created in order to re-select our group leader as well as others committee members...
Yet again Amin and Ida were chosen by majority to be group leader and assistant group leader...
After few discussions held, we collectively agree to give a frame as our main "omiyage"...
Nisya stood up as a designer and everybody give lots of ideas in making it happen...
I personally love the design that highlights Malaysia's major achievement that is Perdana Putra besides we're proud to share with the fellow Japanese our traditional Songket design...
Besides the frame, all of us were required to ask from our office few others souvenirs as a back up...
Alhamdullilah all of us manage to gather few souvenirs and all set to fly to Okinawa...
We also decided to meet at Departure Hall, KLIA on 27th September 2015 at 0430...
