Hello World!

-
Hello! This is not my first blog, but it has been a long time since I last blogged. If memory serves, I last blogged two or three years ago, which was an interesting experience. 

The reason why I started blogging again is due to one of my new resolutions, which is to record my thoughts on a daily basis. At least, I hope I will remember to post daily. I tend to forget to do so when I get too busy.

Now, it's time to introduce myself. I am 16 years old, and will be turning 17 in February. I like to read storybooks and watch Netflix. My current favourite subject is Economics and my worst subject is Maths. I attend a church that is two streets away from my home, and I have been homeschooled for the past 6 years. I finished my IGCSE exams last November, and am currently awaiting my results.

The big change for me this year is I am going to attend college next week.

After 6 years of homeschooling, this is a big thing for me. I mean, I always knew I would attend college at some point, but attending college next week is a very last minute plan.

The original plan was to wait for my results, which I will receive mid-January, and apply for the Accounting program in March. This means I get two and a half months to myself. I will need to get a job, as my Mummy insists, but I don't mind.

However, due to Mummy calling the college, I managed to get a nice offer for college. I don't need to present my results yet, but I can still attend college on the 8th of January. However, from then on, there are two scenarios:

1- I receive my results on the 17th of January, and present it at the office. I passed all 5 of my subjects and I continue attending college.

2-I receive my results on the 17th of January, and stop attending college due to me failing one of my subjects. The fees my parents paid will be refunded in full, and I get to retake the subject I failed. Once I passed said subject, I can reapply for college.

The reason why there are two scenarios is that I might fail one of my subjects. I need 5 credits or passes to attend college, and I only took 5 subjects for IGCSE. As mentioned earlier, Maths is my worst subject, and I hope that I don't fail. It will be a pain to restudy all of the formulas. On the other hand, I hope I don't fail Accounting. It will be embarrassing if I do, considering I applied for the Accounting program.

My faithful companions

I think I will post more about my resolutions tomorrow, as I still have other things to do. There is no doubt that 2018 will be a daunting and interesting year for me. I hope that I will not get too stressed.

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
