New Year Resolutions

-
I have always found it difficult to meet new year resolutions. For the past few years, I have not accomplished many of my new year resolutions, but this year I am determined to meet all of my resolutions.

One of them was already mentioned yesterday: record my thoughts on a daily basis. As long as I am disciplined, I am confident that I will accomplish this. With me attending college, I doubt that there will be any shortage of things to write about.

Another resolution of mine is to improve my handwriting. With me attending college soon, I will need to be able to write fast and neat. To practice, I have been copying out passages from the Bible. This is good, as by copying, I am reading the Bible.

I also want to learn how to type properly. I already started learning a month ago, through a free website online. I'm not typing like a pro yet, but I am getting better. Typing will be a useful skill for me, and I'm glad I am learning. However, practicing my typing is boring and requires a lot of discipline.

Exercise is another thing I want to take seriously. I have recently started jogging again, and am determined to do so often. I like to jog with my mummy and sister, at a convenient place near our home. Once I start attending college, I will have to jog at the gym. Jogging is not a fun activity, but after a jogging session, I feel good. I feel awake and ready to do work.

I also lose weight by jogging, and that is a good thing. I want to wear nicer clothes, and I will be more likely to wear them if I look thinner. I'm not fat right now, but neither am I thin. Yes, I know. I might be a bit vain. However, that should be normal for a teenage girl like me. :)

I hope that I can meet my resolutions this year. As they are realistic and manageable, I am sure I can do so. Time to start 2018 right!

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
