[YLP ICT: Part 16] Preparation Leaving Okinawa

As the title of the entry, yes it was our day to do some preparation to leave Okinawa...
Its getting near to the end...
The feelings jumble and mixed with various elements...
Deep inside my hearts I do appreciate this opportunity and alhamdullilah I'm the chosen one out of hundreds or maybe thousands of people apply....
Since the end is near, Ida-chan a.k.a Kak Long Kawasan came up with an idea for us to exchange notes and simple gift...
The note can be in forms of letter/ story or anything...
Later on after bring this matter to our Amin-san a.k.a Tok Ketua he do agree with the idea and then the rest is history...

Letters Writing


I do start to right my letter on the day we should been doing our preparation to leave Okinawa...
Honestly its quite to difficult to write these letters...
Its not a letter but 14 letters plus 1 for Atuk Yasumura-san...
The idea was wrote on how we do prescribe the person or any unforgetable moments we been through throughout the course...
End up some of us do write the letters by the beach, inside our nice and comfortable room or even during our buffet lunch in Banzai...

Strolling by the Okinawa Beach


Okinawa had ben known about it beautiful beach along the island...
During our excursion to Churaimi Aquarium, we do personally asked Atuk Yasumura-san to stop by but due to rain and Atuk was concern on our safety, the request seems like an air flow by his ears...
Somehow, Azue came up with the idea to go to the nearest beach near Solvita...
To cut it short after discussion via Whats Apps, the ladies finally set our way to hunt for Okinawan beach...
Alhamdullilah we made to the beach...
After a while, I make a move back to the hotel together with Ida-chan and Nisya-chan...
Others decide to stay and continue with letters writing...

Lunch with the Ladies


During our way to the beach, we decide to have a halal buffet lunch in Banzai...
The restaurant is located near Hokke...
The reason we wanted to have our lunch there since we haven't go on proper dining (except for Azue-san) in Okinawa...
We did once in Tokyo...
So far the variety of the menu will make you smile...
The waiters there were very helpful and keep assisting us in recognising the halal food...
We leave the restaurant after spending nearly an hour and half in the restaurant and start to leave for Naha Main Place...
This would be our last time to visit Naha Main Place since our trip comes towards the end...

Martial Art Performance by "Atuk" in Ballet Recital


Atuk Yasumura-san is a man that always complaining on his back ache...
However when he told us that he'll be performing at the ballet recital, we're surprised...
The ballet recital organised by his sister that own ballet academy in Okinawa...
Atuk wasn't a ballet dance instead he's into martial art...
He do karate and will performed special performance in the recital...
Back to his back ache, we're thrill to see his performance...
I go to the recital together with Ida-chan and Nisya-chan...

Exchanging Gifts & Letters Session and Rehearsing for Closing Ceremony


After coming back from ballet recital, all of us gather at Solvita's lobby for rehearsal and exchange letters and gift session...
Its start quite late since there of us (me, Ida-chan and Nisya-chan) just arrived to Solvita...
Once everyone were there, we start to gather all the letters and gifts...
Then we start to exchange letters and gifts...
The session was indeed a good one...
We have so much fun that night...
Besides exchange letters and gifts, we do practice for our performance during closing ceremony...
We have decided to sing Mira-e by Kiroro and Balik Kampung by late Sudirman...
We just get to know that Kiroro is an Okinawan when we're back in Malaysia...
During the practice, we're actually have been asked by the Solvita's receptionist to tone down our voice as we do sing and giggles quite loud due to the fact that we're not professional singer...
Later on before going back to our room, we personally asking for forgiveness to the receptionists and they just smile at us...
