FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Hanna bersiap ke sekolah dengan Abang Haziq

A new chapter of life experience for Hanna Syakira binti Mohd Hanif and the rest of newly registered students for Year One, and they are the first to adapt with the new syllabus (PBS), again......

Hanna was very excited and hopefully she will and be able to cope with her new episode of life. This afternoon she experienced it differently from the other siblings, without papa around...

.Many parents were present to witness their children.

Ibubapa yang terlalu 'excited'

Before going to bed the boys did their homework and Bahasa Melayu is used for Mathematics and Science.  I instructed Syakira to coach Haziq at home instead of paying to the tuition centre. Apparently, she found it difficult to teach Haziq Mathematics in Bahasa since she did it in English before. 

 I have just helped Hakim to do his Maths homework (Year 4) on the topic Whole Number. Hakim was confused to understand the term "Nilai Digit" and "Nilai Tempat" instead of 'Digit Value' and 'Place Value' which he was thought and familiar with for the past 3 years in Tahap 1 (Year 1, 2 and 3). All of a sudden it is changed to Bahasa in Tahap 2 (Year 4,5 and 6).

The system leads to confusion and students need to adapt with the change in the middle of their learning process which I personally think its unfair. It is probably fine to those who can afford to send for extra tuition classes but not everyone can afford to do so for every child, just like me.

 "Alang-alang menyeluk pekasam, biarlah sampai ke pangkal lengan". It is wiser to continue with what has been exposed and taught so until the end (Tahap 1 & Tahap 2) instead of changing it in the middle of the learning process as though they are migrating to somewhere else.

I really hope the new change will somehow results a positive outcome especially for Year 1 students and to continue until they complete both Tahap 1 & 2 in Bahasa Melayu without the need to change to other language (back to English or Mandarin, etc..) again, again and again.....

Anyway, I guess Hanna has been missing arwah for the past few days when I heard her talking and mentioning about arwah. She will never miss  reciting Surah Al Ikhlas everytime passing by Tanah Perkuburan Bukit Badak. Yesterday after coming home from Restoran Hakim, Shah Alam with Uncle Ai, Aunt Lely and her cousins, she approached me and said, "mama tadi masa lalu dekat kubur papa, hanna baca dekat papa"....She always remind us of arwah although it has been almost six months.Al fatihah......

"Semoga Hanna dan kakak2 serta abang2 berjaya dunia dan akhirat dan tidak lupa mendoakan arwah untuk selama-lamanya".
