Hari Pertama Sekolah Tapi Bella Ada Peperiksaan Rupa-rupanya…
Ini Catatan Comel Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar:
“Didn’t realise they have exams during their orientation day. No pencils or erasers or whatsoever. Haha. My mistake. Thought we just come and register. Good luck Bella. I’m cheering you up through the window. I’m sure you will do well. So that was Bella on her first day Islamic school awaiting for the exam papers.”

Bella Cuma Bawa RM1 Setiap Hari ke Sekolah
Ini Cara Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Melatihnya:
“We brought sandwiches and sausages for Bella at school. It’s good to see Bella adapt very well. She truly enjoys her Chinese school making lots of friends. We packed Bella’s food since it’s difficult to get halal food. But that’s not a problem. At least we get to monitor the food that she eats. The last thing we want is to find her buying junk food from school. We give her RM1 a day for her expenditure teaching her to save money and put them into her savings. Great to be here during these precious moments.”
Hari Pertama Bella di Sekolah Agama
Ini yang Sempat dirakam Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar:
“First day at Islamic school. In the afternoon it’s Sekolah Agama. Bella is excited but slightly sleepy. Probably her first day. My doa for you Bella. Amiinn…”
Mengapa Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Memilih Pendidikan Sekolah Mandarin Untuk Anaknya?
Ini Jawapan Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar:
“Walking Tasha to school. Many have asked me whether to send their child to a Mandarin School. Many parents are worried whether their child could cope with the language and too much homework. Also difficulty in getting halal food.”
“My answer? Mandarin School is the best choice I have made so far. The teaching technique in SJKC is amazing, students are more disciplined, kids learn a foreign language very fast since their brain are more adaptable compared to us adults and do bring home cooked meal on a daily basis. As to homework, every parent should spend an hour a day with their child to assist them with their schoolwork.”
“Surely you can complete them within that time frame and prepare them for the next day subjects. Bella was in Chinese kindergarten for 2 years before entering SJKC and Tasha too is in her second year. So they already have the basics. Try to send them for a weekly Mandarin Class prior to that. Even if they start afresh, normally the school provides extra classes for those who are weak in Mandarin.”
“So to all parents, don’t worry about it. Don’t underestimate your child abilities. They will adapt extremely fast to their new environment. They might struggle for the first one year but things will get better. Trust me… Insya-Allah.”
“PS — Today Bella told me I need not come during her tea break as she wants to be with her friends. Surely that’s a good sign but deep inside I felt Bella is growing up too fast and I’m not ready to let her go yet.”
Bella Sudah Khatam Al-Quran Sebelum Naik Darjah Satu
Lafaz Syukur Seorang Ayah:
“Alhamdulillah… Bella has completed her Quran. Have a great Monday everyone!”
