I feel like sharing my personal experience with my blogs visitors today.
I am a mom of 4 kids and my eldest, Irfan was born with birth defect whereby his left arm only formed till his elbow. The rest, he is like other normal child, healthy, active and brilliant!
The first 3 weeks after delivered Irfan, I was crying and crying sampai kering air mata. I was not crying because of having defect creation from Allah swt, it is because I was not mentally prepared. I was too worried about Irfan’s future, how he will face his daily life and people outside there.
Time is running very fast. Irfan is now 9 years old. I was sometimes laugh at my the very own self with my narrow minded old those days. There is nothing wrong with my son. He is sometimes even better than those who are normal. I thanks to my husband, parents, friends and coach who believe in my strength to get through all those tough time.
Irfan now can speak Mandarin very well and if you hear him talking without looking at him, you will not know that he is a Malay boy and special. I was in total panicking when one day while Irfan was 6 years old, he told me that he wanted to go to SJKC Hwa Min. He said he already has many friends there. He knew them on the van that he used to take to his kindie. Wow! It was not a small deal. With no background in Mandarin and Chinese culture…I have been thinking and thinking about it many many times. I have registered him to sekolah kebangsaan. What should I do? I was really afraid to make decision which I thought will risk my son’s future. The next day Irfan asked me again whether he is going to SJKC Hwa Min or not. I have no answer for him yet. Allah swt is great. Then, I was sent for Sun Tzu Art of War – The Winning Strategies class by my boss. The class was taught by the founder, Dr.Khoo Kheng Khor. I thought the class just finishes there, but luckily I still get in touch with Dr.Khoo through Yahoo Messenger! (thanks technology!). I was really inspired by his motivational words through our YM conversation. I really thanks him for influencing me making this tough decision. Irfan is really superb now! Sending him to Chinese school is not only about him getting extra language but it is also about building his confident level and boost up his morale.
Till then…I will continue later…

You have a very talented and bright little boy. Sending him to a Chinese school is a good decision.
My eldest son is also in a Chinese kindergarten and I have no regrets whatsoever upon my decision later to send him to a Chinese primary school next year.
Will surely be waiting for your second update ;-)
