after we had waited for three months the overletter from ministry of education, finally we accepted the overletter. it means sayyid accepted as student at second year of kebangsaan school bangi. but now he still studies at home since the registration prosedure (include student visa) hasn't finished yet.

every morning sayyid and i accompany asya to the kindergarten,after that i teach sayyid at home learning about school subjects such as mathematics, science, jawi, malaysian language and english.

there are several differences between indonesian and malaysian curriculum. in malaysia mathematics and science use english not malaysian language. there is a new subject that rather difficult to learn, it is jawi. jawi just like arabic letters but using malaysian language. at second year the textbook of jawi presents reading and knowledge of islamic subject. i teach sayyid to read and write jawi step by step, now he's still learning how to write and read words. it's still difficult for sayyid reading or writing jawi in sentences. so we have to help and support sayyid everytime. this is a challenge for us. we hope the registration prosedure can completed sooner, so he will not boring anymore. he likes activity with many friends.
