いけばな

Ikebana also known as Japanese arts of of flower arrangement.
Wonder why I talk about this?
On friday, 2 hours of lesson was canceled.
We went to the JCKL's side.
Only those self-funded students are going and not the JPA's students.

Speaking of JPA, I can see that the goverment is unfair.
Why?
All.
Yes.
ALL JPA's students are malays and I cant see even 1 chinese or indian.
Their lesson started after 1 week our class started.
So they only had around 3 weeks of lessons.
Yet, some of them already been in the principal's office for not doing their homework or not coming to school.
When scholarship students are behaving like this, shouldnt they be disqualified?
Instead, goverment hold MOTIVATION seminars to ask the students to study.
Hilarious.
May be they really are clever than me but attitude like this cannot be tolerate.
You are wasting our money, indirectly, tax that we paid.
May be this is why Malaysia is getting worse and worse.

Okay.
Back to the Ikebana.
They invited Kobayashi sensei who is an expert of Ikebana all the way from Japan.
I cant understand what she's explaining because my Japanese is very bad.
And also the translator.
Nobody can understand what she's saying.



The one in the photo is translator which uses hand sign for handicapped people.
I'm not sure where they came from.
NOTE: If you wanna ask THAT question, she's not from our class and I dont know her.

Ikebana is very simple and the things you'll need is also simple.
A black box to put water in it.
I forgot what that round thingy called but it rhyme with Ginza.
And of course, Flowers.

Some english speaking japanese and the Vice President of the club explained to us and how to to an Ikebana.
There are few simple rules you have to follow:
Measure the ''Heaven'' with the black box width and cut it slightly longer from the mark.
''Earth'' is 3 quarter of ''Heaven''.
''Hell is 3 quarter of ''Earth''.
And the rest is up to your creativity.

Wonder why those 3 is not straight?

There's a reason for this.

From the center of the round thingy, you have to imagine a line which is degree 0.

''Heaven'' must be placed at degree 15.

''Earth'' at degree 45.

''Hell'' at degree 75.

Together those 3 form a triangle.
Actually you have to use the same kind and same colour of flowers to represents harmony.

3 of us exchanged flowers which one another and so we got a BETTER harmony. *Not correct*

I finished fast so I took some photo when my classmates are doing theirs.

Kinda fun and time is passing fast when you're having fun.

After they cleaned up everything *we just sit there*, they gave us water and nasi lemak.

There were also biscuits, cake, bun and so on.

All served by them.

We just sit there

Wakakakakaka.
After that we went back to the classroom and continue our 1st lesson of kanji.

May be is because I'm facing japanese character too much so when I write chinese character, it feels like I wrote it wrongly or the the character itself feels strange.

Today, me and my friend went to the island cafe to have lunch.

Since I didnt eat anything for breakfast, I order a big rice.

Have you seen big rice is this BIG?

Only RM1 was charged for the BIG rice.
At first I was not going to order any drink because I want to save money.

But then, I ordered a blackcurrant flavoured alcoholic drink to try it.

On the 1st sip, it taste like medicine. *I hate liquid type medicine*

It taste better later.

Although it has 5% alcohol but I cant taste it except that I feel a bit hot.

That's all for now.

Bye bye.
