CAT Party

-
Today was another day of college. I had classes in the morning from 8am till 12 pm, which was something new for me. I'm used to studying at my own pace, and I like to take breaks every hour. I'm also not used to studying so much content in a day.

We finished one whole chapter in 2 hours today. It's a good thing that we were learning Chapter 1, so it's not too difficult yet. I'm also glad that daddy can still help me. Since he's an ACCA holder, he is more than qualified to help me with my CAT subjects.

After class, I had a bun before going to the library to copy some notes. Once again, several of my classmates left campus for lunch, and I'm glad that they didn't invite me. I enjoyed an hour and a half of peace, before one of my classmates joined me.

At 2pm, I went to one of the classrooms, which was filled with people. The CAT seniors were throwing my class a welcoming party. It was interesting, getting to know the 29 seniors. Most of my classmates took this opportunity to arrange for second hand textbooks to be sold to them.

I got to know a few of my seniors. I didn't buy any books from them, as I have already ordered my textbooks from the bookstore. The seniors are nice and helpful people. They're also friendly people.

After lunch, which was provided by the seniors, we played two games. These games were meant to help us to remember each other's names, and be more comfortable with one another. They were fun, and I was surprisingly a bit sad when it ended.

Once I got home, I had dinner, showered, read and copied my notes. I'm so glad that I don't have to get to college until 12pm tomorrow. At least I don't have to jump out of bed tomorrow.

YMCA Street Feeding- Day 3

-
Today was my second time volunteering at YMCA. I did the same thing as the last time, helping to prepare and serve the food, but I had new experiences which led to more observations. I sang a song! This was something new for me, as I am normally not comfortable singing in front of others. However, as I was serving the food, I was suddenly asked by the music team whether I wanted to sing a song. I think they were running out of songs to sing, as I was pressured into singing a song. I was panicking, and the only song that I could remember clearly was Jesus Loves Me, as I recently sang that. Even though it was a Sunday School song, and I thought that I would be laughed at for singing such a simple song, it was surprisingly well received. I could see smiles on the street people's faces, and some of them were even singing along. I could see that all of them enjoyed it. Sadly, I could not think of any other songs once I was done, so I got back to serving the food. This experience

Temptations

After college today, my mummy, sister and I had a chat. We talked about how am I settling into college, how was my day and how were my classes like. Then, we talked about something interesting for me. During lunch today, some of my classmates invited me to join them for lunch at a nearby shopping centre. This will require us to leave campus, which is allowed. However, I had books to buy and other things to do, so I turned down the offer. My mummy and sister told me that I should never join them on these kind of outings. Once I start, I may start having bad habits, such as skipping class or not studying hard. Then, I will fail my exams or not get good results, resulting in a waste of a year. They say that I should not put myself in temptation. Mummy even let me use her as an excuse. This means I can just tell my classmates my mother does not let me leave campus, and she is strict about this rule. It sounds like as if my mummy and sister are trying to be controlling, not lett

Malaysian Studies

It's currently 11:22pm. It's late, and I need to finish this post so that I can go to bed. Today has been tiring. Normally, Saturday would be an easy day. It would be a day spent on catching up on my work from college. However, I had to go to college. I had extra classes for, out of all of my subjects, Malaysian Studies, which is basically Malaysian History. It's one of the subjects that I have to pass, which is stressful for me. Classes started at 9am, and ended at 3pm, with a lunch break. Surprisingly, it wasn't too boring. We studied the Portuguese Colonisation of Malacca, the British Colonisation of Penang and Singapore and the reasons why they did so. It was interesting to learn, but the malay names were a bit confusing for me. I was also cold and sneezed a lot, which I think is due to Mummy passing her flu germs to me. This did not help me to focus on the lesson. Our lecturer also has the tendency to suddenly use malay phrases when she's teaching. Luck
