Results Day

-
I am typing this now, at 9:39pm, still in shock about today's events. It still feels so unreal!

Today started with the usual 6am wake up and rush session. Chapel at 7:30am, class at 8am. The usual, nothing exciting. My lunch period started from 1pm, which was when I started feeling nervous. One hour left until the news. One hour left until my results are posted.

I had lunch alone in Cafeteria B, and the packed lunch was comforting. I packed Chopped Eggs and Mushroom filling with bread, which wasn't as yummy as the Egg and Tuna filling. Even though Cafeteria B is less crowded than Cafeteria A, I still felt like the cafeteria was too crowded. The number of people there was giving me a headache.

That's why I went to the library, thinking that I would have some peace. I thought that I could quietly do some work to pass the time quicker. I thought wrong. I was soon joined by a classmate, who sat at my table, and read her own books. Even though she wasn't talking or disturbing me, I am ashamed to say that her presence still annoyed me.

Time slowly passed. I don't know why, but it's always the same thing with time: When you're having fun, time flies. When you really want something to happen, time passes too slowly.

1:45pm. 1:56pm. 1:59pm.

When it was finally 2 pm, I was staring at my phone, waiting for the message from my sister. However, mummy beat her to it. The minute mummy's message: "Yay!" pops up, I knew that I passed all 5 of my subjects, the required grade for me to continue attending college.

That was good news, but the great news, the news that I am still in shock over, is my the breakdown for my grades:

-A (81 marks) for Economics
-A (82 marks) for Business Studies 
-A* (95 marks) for English
-A (89 marks) for Accounting 
-B (74 marks) for Math

Not only did I pass all of my subjects, I have the required grades to apply for a 15% scholarship! Sure, it doesn't sound like much, but every ringgit counts, especially when exams can cost RM900 a paper.

I was so happy for the next two hours. I could barely concentrate. When class finally ended at 4pm, I was picked up by mummy, who left work early, so that the family can celebrate.

For dinner, we had IndoMee with sausage and Potato Chips! It was a mini celebration, since I still had homework to do. We celebrated the results of my sister and I. My parents promised a proper celebration on Sunday.

Our Celebration Dinner.
I gave myself some relaxation time, and continued work at 8:30pm. 

The fact that I now have my results, and might get a scholarship, motivates me to work harder for my CAT. If I can get such results for IGCSE, it is possible for me to do well in CAT and move on to ACCA full time.

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...

YMCA Street Feeding- Day 2

-
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...
