The 12th Japanese Speech Contest ^-^

7th.March.2009! What a marvelous day!
Literally it was a day to Remember!


I participated in the Haiku (a short Japanese poem) section. Being a part of this Japanese Contest was an amazing experience! Choosing the Haiku, understand it, analyize it, and presenting the chosen Haiku in Japanese, Arabic and English.


I was a bit stressed, but when I stood there, fully prepared, infront of all those audiences, was just amazing! Right after that I was pretty sure that I'm gonna win! Because I know that I worked real hard in this contest. AndI felt that I DO deserve to win! When they started calling the winners names, I was just waiting for my name. The secong place winner "Fouz Habjouqa San"!!!! Was like "WOOOOW"!!


In the end, a heartfelt thank you to both, Tymoor Hamdokh sensei and Kikuchi Sensei, my Japanese teachers, who helped along the way in the contest.

My 1st Japanese Contest *^^*
I'm pretty excited! But a bit anxious!
Inshallah 1st of all I'm gonna introduce myself in Japanese. Then recite the Haiku 2 times in Japanese. And the English and Arabic translation of the Haiku. After that, to say the English and Arabic presentation of the Haiku analysis.

My first post XD!

"A day of rain;
Somebody passes my gate
With irises."

雨の日や　門さげて行く　杜若　　信徳／shintoku

It's my very favorite Japanese Haiku. It kinda describes our lives. How we think that our blue days are endless. And that we'll never get over them. But, Allah sends us those great people, who give us a helping hand, get us outta our troubles, and draw a big smile on our faces.
They come into our lives, change it, and color it into a beautiful happiness.
I dedicate this blog to all those great people who stood by me when I needed a help the most.
And I'm more grateful to Allah for blessing me with those people.
