7Y0M 5Y2M 7歳 7 years old

アラタ7才。今年は初めて誕生日当日にパーティー。アドベンチャーゾーンも平日料金(その上6人で4人分料金)だったので意外と安上がり。

スマトラ沖地震の翌日生まれなので、誕生日が近づくと当時の地震や津波の事がニュースで取り上げられる。当時の津波によりマレーシアで犠牲になったのは68人、うち52人はペナン島。私達の住んでいるガーニードライブも津波で水浸しになり、バイクや車の被害があったそうだ。

Arata is now 7 years old. This is the first time Arata had his birthday party on the actual birthday. The Adventure Zone only charged us 'normal day rate' with some discount. So it wasn't as expensive as we thought.

Arata was born the day after 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and when his birthday approaches, we can't avoid watching the footage of the tragic event. 52 out of the total of 62 victims in Malaysia were from Penang. Gurney Drive, where we live, was also flooded and lots of bikes and cars were covered with mud.
