Eirfan & his interview

Feb 18 - 2009

This is the day Eirfan went for his kindergarten interview. Most of the kindergarten in Japan will test or interview their candidates before accepting them as student. Eirfan attend for the interview at Eikoyagoto Kindergarten, this kindergarten was being introduced by one of our friend who lived nearby and their son was one of the student there. Before going for this interview we already asked thee tips form our friend what to be ask during the interview. All the task that Eirfan need to do are:

1. Questions regarding his name, age, parents name and what he love to do in Japanese
2. Need to tell colours in Japanese
3. He was asked what a square mean in Japanese after being showed the square picture...(I didn't teach him that ..so he can't answer)
4. He need to draw back the square on a paper
5. Some body movements such as jump, walks on a straight line and some hand movements.
6. Last one was the free drawing & colouring

After that Eirfan been interviewed by the kindergarten's headmaster and he did quite well but a little bit shy. He passed the test and was given the entrance certificate justx after the interview. The next agenda was to measure his uniform, sports wear size and his shoes.
Eirfan was accepted to be the 2nd year student at the kindergarten from April as the academic year starts form April. We was expecting he will be at the 1st year class but since he was born in March, it's at the last month of an academic year. So he will be one of the youngest in his class.

Eirfan drew a car, that's what he love to draw.


Eirfan's acceptance letter

Just after Eirfan arrived back home, everyone else are already prepared for the celebration on his acceptance and off we go to Sakae. Since it's a nice place as my last visit with Eirfan, this time Yuri & Eiqmal also need to see the place. After we arrived to Sakae and searched for parking, and as per expected the parking are quite expensive. The best parking that we got was 200yen for every half an hour. ( it's about USD4/hour). Just after we parked, we went to Oasis 21 and let them run at the open space inside there.

Eirfan already got his shot on the last visit, so this time Yuri & Eiqmal also got theirs.


It's a week day and the place is quite empty & provided them a lot of space to run.

Eirfan and Yuri were really enjoyed the place ..but the wind was so strong that we can't stay there too long

Spend here for about 15 minutes while waiting the parking time round up to 2 hour.

After we spent 2 hours at Oasis 21, we went for dinner at Turkish Taste, a Turkish restaurant that most of the menus are kebap. The shop located near Honjin subway station not far from Nagoya station. The restaurant owner also quite friendly too.

Yum yum


The restaurant itself quite small with limited place to eat-in. Most of the time we just take-out.
