Alhamdulillah
AbgDan masuk MFI 2 weeks ago..
He definitely has set high benchmark for his adik2.
A boy who always knew what he wanted ~ to some extent, he was 11 when a government officer came to the school and he was in-charged to give them a tour to the school and the officer concluded the tour with ‘uncle doakan kamu jadi PM Malaysia nanti!’
Itu dia
(disclaimer awal: mama dah warning depa, takyah lah masuk politik)
…
He knew he wanted to join MRSM iGCSE and that was why when he went to IMTIAZ interview he told the interviewer ‘mama yang suruh mari hari ni. saya nak masuk MRSM’
…
His MRSM journey ~ ahh.. there were bittersweet memories and I’m sure he will one day remember it and smile, being grateful to all the rezeki Allah had bless him and us upon, Alhamdulillah
…
He excelled in both his iGCSE and SPM, alhamdulillah.
Kalau ada yang nak tau whether iGCSE helps for their kids future; I would have some reservations and opinions ok it.
1. Would IGCSE helps in getting in IPTA (lower cost compared to IPTS)? Kalau nak amik iGCSE privately, standby budget (exam cost pun dah mahal) utk anak sambung belajar uni etc sendiri gak.. big possibility you need to have money of your own rather than hoping for IPTA sebab most IPTA would require SPM, tapi boleh je amik SPM basic papers ~ cuma SPM mmg kena amik umur 17thn (kalau tak silap), while IGCSE boleh amik masa form 4 (or ealier kalau anak dah ready) so express sikit.
2. Would IGCSE helps in getting good college lepas SPM? Honestly, kalau nak mintak scholarships or MARA loan, they would require SPM, iGCSE tak dipandang.
3. Would it do any good amik IGCSE? Kalau dapat MRSM yang offer IGCSE, I would recommend it. Bagus untuk anak-anak sebab by form 4, diorg dah cover most subject utk SPM, so, form 5 memang mostly ‘revision’ je..
Untuk SPM tips ~ Aidan didn’t join any seminar or whatever unless apa yang MRSM anjurkan.. itupun, masa COVID, dia sign in Teams, and sambung tido sampai mama tak larat bebel dah.
Tapi, as a cliche, nak excel apa2 pun, need practice and practice and practice.. gugel je soalan exam lepas2, semua ada!
…
With his SPM results, since dia mmg dah fixed takmo buat benda lain but mechanical engineering.. so, scholarship yang tak offer mechanical engineering dia tak apply... JPA-Mara program dengan Khazanah dia tak leh nak apply sebab tak meet BM (diorg nak A+/A je).
He got for the interview invites from PNB, Petronas and YTP Mara.
PNB tu, ada 4 stages. 2nd stage punya online assessment dia memang mencabar… and the 3rd stage which was a one-day session pun bukan kaleng-kaleng. Dia dapat soalan ‘is culture preservation relevant in today’s globalisation environment?’ Dia siap mention pasal issue Bak Kut Teh lagi ~ mama pun tak tahu pasal issue tu. Alhamdulillah ‘ala kulli haal, he didn’t get to the the 4th stage.
As for PETRONAS, we were hopeful that he got through. He did well masa interview. At least that’s what I thought lah kan.. Diorang kena discuss pasal future skills, and he volunteered to be the scriber masa the discussion among his teammates. Alhamdulillah ‘ala kulli haal, masa result keluar hari tu, he was put in waiting list ~ sampai hari ni. Rasa mcm semua candidate yang tak dapat offer was given the same notification.. kalau by 15th takde offer, means tak dapat.. cuma rasa bab tu, PETRONAS belum professional and gentleman enough ~ no harm of sending an email or notification that the application is unsuccessful rather than bagi harapan kat semua orang yang tak dapat.. tak baik tau!
Alhamdulillah, he got himself the YTP-Mara MFI program. Insyaallah, he has to do well, meet the score, lagi 13 bulan bolehlah naik kapal terbang gi France, allahumma ameen.
…
Alhamdulillah, dalam Aidan dok compare kekawan yang ada dpt result tak baper best dpt Petronas, or kekawan yang mmg bagus dan dapat semua offer… mama suruh dia tengok kekawan yang matriks, ipta pun tak dapat apa yang diorang nak. Ada kekawan yang tak dapat offer memana. Ada kekawan yang mak abah kena keluar budget sendiri. In fact, as I shared with him the stories of few others anak-anak lepasan SPM yang mmg kena jadi independent, takde guidance dari awal sampai ke hari ini (and it is so heartbreaking.. kena doa bebanyak, agar kita ada ramai orang kaya muslim yang cakna dah dapat bantu anak-anak ni)..
Alhamdulillah, Allah tetap bagi rezeki bebaik untuk Aidan. Alhamdulillah. Tak pernah Allah bagi yang tak baik untuk kita. Kita ni tak tahu menda.. taqdir kita, dah tertulis 50,000 thn before alam semeste ni Allah ciptakan. Allahn al-Hakiim, al-'Aliim.
AbagDan, nanti lepas 6 bulan, you can learn french… lepas setahun dua, you can speak french, lepas 5 thn you’ll be a mechanical engineer who speaks french… Allahumma ameen.
Learning french is not because you love the language or you just want to have a third language or whatsoever.. but as Aboh said, to prove to yourself and everyone else that you can take any challenge on your plate, you work and adapt with it, you pick-up fast and excel, insyaallah ameen.
Apa2 pun, pegang agama kat mana2 pun kamu.
…
Mama simpan gambar2 and cerita2 ni just to remind us on one of my and most of us favourite ayat:
Al-Baqarah 2:216
كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْقِتَالُ وَهُوَ كُرْهٌ لَّكُمْۖ وَعَسَىٰٓ أَن تَكْرَهُواۡ شَيْـًٔا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْۖ وَعَسَىٰٓ أَن تُحِبُّواۡ شَيْـًٔا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْۗ وَٱللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُون
Fighting has been enjoined upon you, even though you dislike it. But it maybe that you dislike something which is good for you, and you like something which is bad for you. Allah knows and you do not know.
May you be steadfast in your jihad, lillahitaala.
Ya Allah, mudahkan perjuangan anak-anak kami dan kawan-kawan mereka dan anak-anak kawan-kawan dan jiran-jiran kami, agar mereka sabar menuntut ilmu bermanfaat untuk mereka amalkan bila tiba masa mereka memimpin ummah ini, Ya Allah.
Allahumma ameen.

p/s: kena bagi kredit kat duit belia yang PMX bagi hari tu - baju and seluar nak gi interview sume duit sumbangan belia.. alhamdulillah
