Bunka Language Pte. School

Bunka held its 22nd Anniversary Party on 26th August 2007 at River View Hotel, Lily Ballroom.

For a start, our Managing Director, Mr Hiew gave a speech on Bunka's history and paid tribute to Ms Ebihara, our school's founder, who had flown in from Japan to join the meaningful event. It was followed by a warm and touching speech by Ms Ebihara.

Ms Mizusaki, our senior teacher then introduced the teachers of Bunka. All our teachers introduced themselves, the hometown they came from in Japan and their favourite Singapore food.

Next, Mr Hiew introduced the administrative staff. Two of our administrative staff and one ex-staff were in their yukata, perking up the atmosphere for the party.

The party started off with a game "High and Low" led by Mr Gima. A card is drawn from a deck of playing cards and guests have to guess whether the next card drawn is higher or lower. The entire ballroom was filled with laughter during the game.

Dinner was served — a sumptuous Japanese buffet. Students, teachers and staff took the opportunity to mingle and take some photographs.

The next game "Janken" (Scissors, Paper, Stone) was played after dinner led by Ms Oya and Mr Takatsuka. It was exciting and enjoyable as students tried their best to remain in the game.

Then it was the Lucky Draw. Lucky winners had broad smiles when their names were picked.

All good things must come to an end. The party ended with the traditional 'San Bon Jime', a clapping ritual of 3 x 3 x 1 ending with Mr Takatsuka wishing everyone "Good night, sleep tight, sweet dreams".
