Introduction

My name is ‘Abdul ‘Azim Hj Daud and currently

a 3rd year student in Universiti Brunei

Darussalam. I am majoring in Economic. As per

required by our university, every 3rd you must

go for their discover year and I chose Waseda

University. I was really lucky to be chosen as

one of the student that would go Waseda and

did not regret my decision.

My colleague and I start our journey to Japan

on 12th March 2017 and arrived Japan on the

15th. The flight took a toll on our body because we were seating down for 6 hour straight. When we

arrived, all of us were surprised by the coldness in Japan even though it was almost spring and it

be low as 4 degree but we all came prepared and already wore layers of clothing. Then our life in

Japan starts.

Objectives and Achievement

There are four main objectives that I wish I accomplished during my stay in Japan. This was all

decided before I even go to Japan. My life in Japan are mostly revolved around this objectives.


2

*Creating and meeting friends

As obvious as it sound, I was hoping to create friends during my time in Japan. I was determine to

have more Japanese friend. Friends are essential in one’s life and having Japanese friend is hard

to have in Brunei simply because there a few Japanese people living there. Although I was

expecting to make lots of Japanese friends but I did not expect to have many international friend

from different country. As AIMS7 programmed not just limited to Brunei but to very ASEAN countries

and because of this I was able to make more international friend. Before our semester starts,

everyone from the AIMS& programmed went on a picnic so we can get to know each other and we

create a bond to each other. I think that my life in Japan would not be as interesting and fun without

them.

Aside from that, I did managed to be friend with Japanese from my seminar and some of my classes.

Also I made friends from around the world from US to China and I am really happy to be friend with

people them.

*Learning Architecture

The second objective that I really want is to learn architecture. Before I went to the path of

economics, my study was all about designing which lead me on being interested on architecture.

As our university does not have any architecture courses and I wished to take it at Waseda. Sadly

architecture course was only offered during winter semester but I did take Introduction to Arts

course to compensate this as it contains architecture as well. I slightly accomplished this objective

since I did learn objective but still disappointed on not to be able to take architecture course.

*Badminton

One of my hobby is to play badminton, and I really hoped on being able to play badminton in

Waseda. Especially Japan’s badminton level is higher compare to Brunei and I wanted to learn few

techniques and from Japanese people. So in order to achieve this, I need to join a badminton club


3

or circle but since club is more intense, I decided to join a circle instead. During my hunt for

badminton circle, I encountered with few issues and problems. Even though Waseda claimed that

most of the circles are suitable for international student but the members from the badminton circle

cannot speak English at all. At the time, I was not confident on my Japanese Language and ended

up not joining the badminton circle but instead ICC instead. I was really disappointed on this and I

was really hyped up on being able to play with Japanese people.

*Improving Japanese Language

Before my study in Japan, I did study Japanese language for one year and when my stay in Japan,

I see this as an opportunity to further improve my Japanese language. I do interested on improving

writing skills but my priority is on improving communication skills instead. After my study finished, I

believe that I improved my Japanese language both in writing and communications. Especially on

communication skills, as I am more confident now to speak in Japanese compare to before. The

Japanese course I took at Waseda were one of the driver to help me gain confidence. I truly believe

that I achieved this but I do not want to stop there, I want to improve more on Japanese language

and hopefully able to take N3 test eventually.

*Explore

When you staying on foreign countries, obviously

your first thought would be exploring and travelling.

This chance is could be a onetime only, so I tried

to visit all the places in Japan. Although there are

money constraint but I still managed to go to

different places. One of the highlights was when I

go to Osaka with other Bruneian friends. We

explore from Osaka all the way to Kobe. I regretted

not going to Kyoto to visit the Ginkakujin. Other

than Osaka, I went to Chichibu and Kuroizawa which both is also amazing and pretty to watch. But

out of all places, the best place for me was Ueno in Tokyo. We were lucky to be in Japan during

spring season which the only time there will be sakura flower. The view at Ueno is simply stunning

but even the word stunning is underrated,, there are no words that can descrive its beauty. So in

terms of exploring, I did what I can do. If there is an opportunity again, I would like to visit to other

places like Hokkaido for skiing and more.

Extracurricular activities

I joined the hippo family programmed where I lived

with a foster family for two days. My foster family

lived in Chichibu and was in the middle of

mountains. My experience there was extremely fun

and I learned new things during this homestay.

Although my foster family’s house is old and is a

traditional wooden house but I think it is good. I

really enjoyed there and the house feel really cozy.

During my homestay, my host family made udon

with different type of tempura ranging from shrimp to sweet potato. For me, it was really delicious

and it made me hooked up on eating udon and soba. We also had a morning walk around the

neighborhood which was super fun and relaxing. It was still sakura season there but the best thing

is the natural air that I breathe in plus with a foster family. I get to experience a Japanese life with

the old wooden house. I do not know how to describe it but it was total worth it and not to mention

that my foster father have the same hobby on collecting money as me which was really fun to talk

about.

Then there was the Honjo trip and were organized by the AIMS staff.

We visited a Waseda high school that was located at Honjo and

took around 2 hours to get there by bus. There learned on how their

educational style is different from Brunei and some of the students

gave a presentation about Japan. I do learn a lot from their

presentation like how convenience store have involved and how

some items have evolved to suit Japanese taste called Japanism.

Aside from the high school, we went to a farm for some farming

action. We cultivate Japanese cucumber and was able to eat a

sweet sweetcorn well fresh sweetcorn. It was an interesting

experience and I

was surprised how the farmers are so innovative

where they combined a pumpkin stem with the

cucumber to save cost.

Then there was Tanabata festival. I was chosen for

one of the leaders for organizing the festival for

AIMS7 sutdents. There was 4 of us in total, 2 is

ASEAN and another 2 is Japanese. I learned the

origin of the Tanabata festival and as a team we


5

worked together to organize a good festival from games to acting out the Tanabata. It was a good

experience for me and really fun and through this activities, I was able to create more friends.

Impressions and life in Japan

Life in Japan, truly an experience that I may not encounter

again. I have mixed feelings about Japan both in a good

way and in a bad way. However I believe that it is mostly

towards the good side. The only think, I am complaining is

that Japan cost of living is higher compare to Brunei and

given our level amount of allowance, it was difficult to live

in Japan. But most of my miscellaneous stuff came from a

100yen shop which was truly life saver.

But overall my impressions on Japan is positive. I see

Japan as a modern country especially in Tokyo and I am

really amazed by the public transport. I can go every part

of Tokyo only using train only. Not just limited to Tokyo,

Osaka similarly have this and the fact that Japan have

railway that connects to other prefecture is really

convenient. There is also the almost perfect time management in Japan. Almost every train is on

time for their schedule but of course there some time it is not due to external problems. The strict

time management had changed my life ever since, now I look my watched every time and plan my

journey timely so I arrived at my destination on time. Sometimes it’s a hassle but it did changed me

in a good way to never be late again.

Experiences as an exchange student

Obviously for every person, the first time you arrived on a foreign countries, they tend be shy and

introverted and this also apply to me. My first month which involved me being not socializing at all

but as the time pass by, I gain more confidence to talk especially in Japanese language and I am

planning to take JLPT test soon in Brunei to get at least N3. I get to experience a new way of

teaching and new knowledge on different subject. I find the subject on introduction on Arts really

interesting especially on Architecture. I am planning this as a starting point to continue studying

about architecture. There are several subjects useful too that I would like to use which is

Introduction to Marketing. This course really useful and since I am also planning to open up a

business, this course can be useful on the marketing side of it and I do not regret on taking it.


6

However I believe that the most important thing is to make friends. I was able to make friends from

around the world and as we are the new generation that may someday lead the country. This may

make our countries grow closer especially ASEAN and Japan. This exchange programmed is the

foundation to make this happen.

Conclusion

I think my stay in Japan have a positive

impact on me, two thing that are clearer are,

it helped me gain confidence on Japanese

language and I am more strict on my time

management to be on time. Also it is truly a

good experience for me to live in Japan. I

was forced to be independent in Japan and

I have to be strict on my budget so I could

survive during my entire stay. But on a side

not it is truly a wonderful experience as I

was able to meet, see, do and a lot more

Japan. I express my gratitude to the AIMS7 programmed.

お世話になりました。めいわくをなりました。ごめなさい AIMS みんあさん。この機会と経験は

本当にありがとうございます。

Terima Kasih Waseda untuk memberi saya pengalaman yang tidak dapat di alami selain daripada

INTRODUCTION

初めまして。私はフイゼと申します。ブルネイから来ました。

私は Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) の三年生です。私

の専門は経済学です。よろしくお願いします。

Greetings reader! Selamat Berkenalan! 大家好！I am Fui

Tze from Brunei Darussalam. I am an undergraduate

student from Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD) majoring

in Economics. In Spring 2017, I have participated AIMS7

exchange program as an exchange student in Waseda

University. In this program, I have gained many experiences,

knowledges and built many friendships. It was one of the

most valuable and precious moments I have in Japan and

Japan will always be a place I will return to.

WHAT I HAVE ACHIEVED DURING MY LIFE IN JAPAN AS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT

Before my enrollment in Waseda University, I have studied Japanese Language for 2 semesters,

which is also equivalent to one year, in my home university. Japanese is the 5th language I have


8

learned after 4 languages and 1 dialect: Mandarin,

Hokkien, English and Malay (national language of

my home country). Although I have come to

Japan with basic knowledge of Japanese

Language, my arrival in Japan had me noticed

that there are more to learn and many that I do

not know despite a year worth of Japanese

Language lessons. Living in Japan has provided

me better opportunities of learning and practicing

Japanese language, which I barely have the

chance to back in my home country (as I am only able to learn and speak in class). That being said,

my Japanese level has a significant improvement since I “move” into Japan.

Beside the learning of Japanese Language, there are other achievements that I have made when

I was an exchange student in Waseda University. For instance, another achievement I have

unlocked is that I have met pe ople with different cultures and backgrounds while studying in

Waseda University. Waseda University consists of diverse student population and that has

benefited me a lot. I have met not just Japanese friends and also students coming from different

part of this world. I was also lucky to have met many professors who are well-known in their fields.

Last but not least, I was able to take up courses that are not available in my home university when

I was in Waseda University. I was able to gain more knowledge with good guidance from the

professionals and facilities available in Waseda University. This is one of the reasons why I chose

to study in Waseda University.

WHAT I HAVE NOT ACHIEVED DURING MY LIFE IN JAPAN AS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT

Due to the short period of time I had stayed in Japan, I regret of not being able to proceed to higher

level of Japanese Language. I have always wanted to speak fluently in Japanese language so I

can always go back to Japan to meet friends and host families and communicate with them in

Japanese. Furthermore, due to the limited time, I could not explore more of Japan. I have

experienced spring, summer and autumn in Japan but not winter. There are also more places I

wanted to visit but could not do so. With these regrets, I am hoping that I will be able to accomplish

all of them one day in the future.

EXPERIENCE AS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT

As mentioned before, I have gained a lot during my life as an exchange student. With these, I am

hoping that I can bring back those knowledge to my home country, to my home university to help


9

share what I have learned and also to use all the knowledge I have earned to further improve my

studies and as well as in the future, my work performance. I am hoping that the skills and knowledge

that I have learned in Waseda University and also during my stay in Japan will help to improve

Brunei’s economy to be like Japan. Japan has taught me a lot especially with their advance

economy and I hope having Japan as a role model, Brunei Darussalam can learn and improve in

many aspects.

ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE CAMPUS

In Japan, I have learned to do things myself

and also travelled around Japan myself.

During my stay, I have travelled to many

places in Tokyo and outside of Tokyo. From

the famous Shibuya, Shinjuku to Osaka,

Kyoto, Nara and many more. I have learned

to plan ahead and to make use of the free

time I have during my stay in Japan. I have

participated in many Japanese traditions in different seasons such as 花見 (a long standing

Japanese tradition of welcoming spring, also known as cherry blossom festival), 祭り (one of the

famous summer traditional festival in Japan and also refer to the tour of god in the village), 花火

(firework festival that happens every summer in Japan) and many more.

Other than individuals from university, I have also

gained a new host family in Japan. I have received

one before when I was enrolled in another

exchange program called JENESYS.

Nevertheless, I am happy to have received

another one to spend my time with while I am in

Japan. I have spent most time with the host

families from Hippo Family and we met up every

month to have different activities done together.

Another one of the biggest achievement I have

made is meeting my other host family from the JENESYS program. It was harder for me to meet

them when I was in Japan as they live in Nagoya. However, they were willing to come to meet me

and spent time with me at Universal Studio Japan when I made my visit to Osaka.


10

Activities that I have done with my Hippo Family Club’ host families are kimono wearing during

spring, yukata during summer matsuri festival, cooking of Japanese food and Bruneian food,

Japanese song karaoke, the celebration of Mother’s Day in May and Father’s Day in June, and

also my graduation in Waseda University.

Beside my host families, there is another group of individuals who I also refer to as family and there

are the other AIMS7 exchange students from Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines.

We all stayed in Nippon Rikkokai, Nerima-ku during our exchange program. Outside campus, I

usually spent time with them and we went to places and did many things together. Picture shown

is when we had our first outing altogether at Shinjuku Gyoen to have picnic together during the

hanami season. I have had a lot of fun moments in Japan and mainly are because of them.

LEARNING EFFECTS OF JAPANESE LANGUAGE LEARNING

Japanese language classes are mainly hosted in Japanese only. Initially I had a hard time trying to

understand the instructions given in class but the teachers were really helpful! They would either

explain it in English (if there really is a problem communicating) or have some students help me. I

have learned a lot in Japanese classes and also practiced a lot.

I also learned Japanese from my daily surrounding. In the train, restaurants, dormitory, gatherings

with Japanese friends and more. Because Japanese was the mainly spoken language, it prevented

me from using English. Thus, I managed to pick up new words very quick.

JAPAN

Japan has always amazed me with the wide

range of experts in different field. Japan’s

specialized field range from technologies and

machineries that are top ranked in this world to

animation products. They are very diverse.

Apart from that, I also like the Japanese


11

traditional culture. The way of celebrating each season, the traditional food and beverages and the

traditional clothing.

Japan has also attracted me because of their well-developed economy. Japan was one of the first

to build up a stable economy and a lot of the East Asian countries can look up to. Despite being a

natural disaster-pro ne area, they are still managed to catch up after every unfortunate event. Their

constant upgrade for their technology has helped them to speed up their recovery and the

improvement has helped to improve the efficiency.

Before enrolling in Waseda University,

I managed to visit Japan for 10 days

under JENESYS (another excha nge

program). During the 10 days I was

brought to different places in Japan and I

learned a lot about Japanese culture.

After the program, I was even more

certain that I want to come to Japan again.

As a result, I picked Japan for my home

university’s discovery year to come to Japan to study.

THOUGHTS ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOUTHEAST ASIA AND JAPAN

Southeast Asia and Japan’s relationship started a long while ago. Japanese technologies were the

first among the others to enter Southeast Asia and Japanese products are often found anywhere

in Southeast Asia. Japanese skills and knowledge are well taught to many industries in Southeast

Asia and most mainly became the pillars of the economy. As a result, Japan is widely known in

Southeast Asia. However, this is not the case in Japan regarding Southeast Asia.

Most of the Japanese do not know some of the countries in Southeast Asia especially Brunei

Darussalam. It is very interesting that every time when a Japanese asks me about my hometown,

majority of them do not know where Brunei Darussalam is and some says it is the first time they

have heard of the name. I find this interesting because Japan is the main customer of Brunei’s oil

and gas exports. Japan imports roughly 82% Brunei liquefied natural gas from Brunei and it has

covered mainly the total growth of the economy.

Although the figure could be small as compared to other exporters, I always think there is a better

way to improve it. I hope one day the relationship will be further enhance and more will know more

of Southeast Asia like how Japan is well-recognized in Southeast Asia.

THE FUTURE

For the last time, I would like to thank SILS from Waseda University for this precious opportunity.

Espeically to the AIMS staff who organized so many events for us to make sure we enjoy our time

in Japan and in Waseda University. To the Hippo Family Club, thank you for the special experience

of living in Japanese lifestyle. To my dorm mates, thank you for all the fun moments (especially our

dusk till dawn karaoke session)! To everyone I meet in Japan, thank you so much for everything

you have done for me and thank you for your support and help. I will definitely return sometime in

the future to visit everyone. And most importantly, I would also like to thank my home university for

the support and guidance that have aided me throughout the whole journey.

皆さん、いろいろありがとうございました。感謝します。

To everyone, thank you so much. I really appreciate it!

Kepada semua, terima kasih. Saya menghargainya.!

至所有人，谢谢你们。我很感激!

für alle, danke schon. Ich schätze es!

Study abroad report.

Participating in the AIMS7 program has given me

many experiences and opportunities. Firstly, living in

Japan. Tokyo has certain emphasize about convenience.

The コンビニ provides food for the ones who are

hungry at 3.00am in the morning. I really like them .The

trains in Japan provides the means to travel whenever I

want travel wherever in Tokyo and its nearby area. They

have so much area and places of interest to see and

explore. Chichibu located in Saitama was especially

beautiful during spring. I visited Chichibu during Hippo

Family Club’s Homestay program. Even only for a day, the

host family showed hospitality and cared like I was their

own family member. I am grateful for that. During spring,

in the mountains of Chichibu, multiple shades green

leaves and red leaves can be seen. The presence of sakura tree in the midst of the leaves

furthermore enunciate the colour contrast, making the mountains even more beautiful. Living in

the dormitory with the other participants has provided with many wonderful memories. The

participants are all amazing people and wonderful friends. Spending time with them I learnt a lot

about their culture, to better communicate and to learn how to better respect people. I cherish the

time I had spent with them. I aim to become a better person and be better in communicating

overall in the future with my exposure as an exchange student. Finally studying in Japan. I will

never forget the friends I made in my classes especially in Comprehensive Japanese 01. My

favorite class in SILS would be Dinosaurs: Research and Discovery. The professor, Mahito

Watabe-sensei is always energetic in class even though the class is late in the afternoon. He

inspired me to be always effortful when doing something. Overall, the experience of studying and

living in Japan will be one of my student life’s highlight, if somewhat similar opportunity is given to

me, I will gladly accept it. My special thanks goes to the AIMS staff who had been very helpful

during my stay in Japan.

Achievements

To me, my biggest achievement in Waseda was learning the Japanese language. To be studying

at Waseda University would be my first time coming to Japan. Coming to Japan, I had never learnt

any Japanese language nor have I ever learnt any other language other than Malay and English. I

only started learning Japanese alphabets (Hiragana and Katakana) a month prior to my scheduled

arrival yet I still have difficulties in reading simple words written in Japanese. I was enrolled in

Comprehensive Japanese I and also Japanese for Zero Beginners. Comprehensive Japanese I

was taught intensively, and even though the schedule was very packed, I could see my Japanese

improving from not knowing anything at all to be able to read road signs and being able to read the

menus in cafes and restaurants. Who knew I could learn a language that was completely alien to

me in just a matter of months! I was also able to talk in simple Japanese with Japanese friends and

also other international friends who are also learning Japanese. I also had the chance to

experience two seasons in Japan (spring and summer)! Every places that I went to in Japan were

all breathtakingly beautiful and unique in their own way. I have encountered many locals and finally

understand why the Japanese are known as the most polite society in the world. All of them were

really kind and helpful. Going around Japan and observing the people’s culture and lifestyle has

definitely broaden my perspective in many things, and I have learnt that differences are not to be

despised, but are meant to be cherished.

Unaccomplished

One of the things that I did not achieved during my time in in Japan and studying at Waseda is that

I did not have the chance to learn Kanji as I have no basic in Japanese at all. However, should I

get the chance to do so, I will definitely seize it and improve my Japanese reading skill. Secondly

is not being able to take courses that are my major back in my home country (Petroleum Geology)

as all of the geology/Earth Science modules in Waseda were thought in Japanese and we were not

advised to take it.

Experiences in Japan

Studying in Japan was one of the most exciting and life changing experience for me. It has taught

me to be more independent, but more importantly to be more open to other ideas and to be braver

in doing things. It has definitely boosted up my confidence and that will certainly aid me in my future

endeavors. I had also made a lot of international friends and exchanged a lot of experiences and

perspectives among us. Being a Muslim and living in Japan for five months is not as easy as living

in a Muslim country, however there is always a way to work things out. I am very grateful that


17

Waseda University have a praying room for Muslims so I can just walk there when I have to pray.

There are also a few mosques quite near to Waseda and Rikko dorm so that to me is convenient.

Experiencing Ramadhan (fasting month) and also Hari Raya Aidilfitri (Feast of Breaking the Fast

month) was rather a pleasing experience because it was very different than how we would celebrate

it back in our home country but having friends to celebrate it together has made it more fun.

Courses Review

I had taken Comprehensive Japanese I in Waseda and it was probably my favourite course during

my time there. The teachers were all very helpful and would assist me whenever I have difficulty in

catching up with Japanese. It was a very intensive course with classes being held three times a

week of two three hours class (Monday and Wednesday) and one and a half hour class (Saturday).

What I like most about this class is that it was very interactive so that we could really practice

reading and writing and talking in Japanese and I think that was what made my Japanese skill

escalated rather quickly from zero knowledge to finishing the Minna No Nihongo books. I also took

Japanese for Zero Beginners and I really loved the class because eventhough it was not as

intensive as Comprehensive Japanese but we still learn a lot of thing but with a more relaxed pace.

Other than Japanese modules I have also taken Dinosaurs: Discovery and Research, Invitation to

Natural Sciences and also Life and Environment. All of these three courses were under the

Environmental Department in Waseda. They were not related to my major but are under my minor

(Environmental Studies) that I am currently doing in my home university.

Activities outside campus

I participated in Hippo Family Club homestay program and I enjoyed it very much! We went for the

program during our first month in Japan so by then my Japanese talking skill were not really good

yet but I am so glad that my host mother were really good in English! They were really wonderful

and treated me very kindly. They brought me around Chichibu, Saitama and introduce many new

Japanese culture to me. They also brought me to try many Japanese food such as Okonomiyaki,

which I had the chance to make it myself and also Kakigori, a traditional Japanese dessert. I also


18

participated in Waseda-Honjo fieldwork in which we had the chance to experience the educational

system of a highschool in Japan and also going to a farm nearby the school and harvested

vegestables such as cucumber and lettuces.

I am very grateful to be given the chance to experience this amazing exchange program and I really

enjoyed every single beautiful moments shared with all the wonderful people that I met during this

program. ありがとう AIMS Program, ありがとう Waseda and ありがとう日本!
