Mini Report
On 4th January 2023, I had joined Program Bicara Karya which its theme is “Catatan Zunita di Jepun”. The program had talked about a writer named Zunita Ramli who is living in Japan for 6 years since 2016 and recently live in Niigata, Japan. Besides being a writer, she is also an entrepreneur and a founder of Tokyo organic. From this talk, I can learn the graduate attribute such as adaptability. Pn. Zunita had graduated as a Master of Business Administration in International University of Japan. Other than that, she is also an influencer who likes to share what she met in Japan on social media such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Recently, she published a book named “Catatan Zunita di Jepun” which is a complication of article about Japan. From her sharing, I felt miserable as she has adaptability to live her own style in foreign.
Self Reflection
The impact of this activity on the development of the students’ Graduate Attributes is that I had learned about the cultural differences between Malaysia and Japan. For example, Japan is a country with common disasters such as earthquakes. Pn. Zunita also shared with us some tips to face these disasters in Japan for surviving. As a Malaysian who is living in a peaceful place without much disasters, I found that it requires a lot of adaptability skills for me to accommodate with the unfamiliar culture in Japan. After attending this program, I had renewed and broadened my horizon of Japan which I have not been there before. Furthermore, it is quite hard to imagine her life in Japan but it also makes me feel more curious and interested to be there. I wish to improve my adaptability skills and have the opportunity to visit Japan and adapt the culture there.
