Sunday, Celebration and Preparation

-
Sunday is a day of rest. It is also a day of dreading the start of another week. Another crazy, hectic week.

Today started out well. I woke up at 7:30am, and was not able to go back to sleep. As I didn't have to start getting ready for another hour or so, I spent the time in bed, watching Netflix. It was fun, watching Netflix while snuggling in bed.

At 10:10am, my sister and I arrived at church after a 20 minute walk. We talked to some of our friends before service started at 10:30am with a worship session. We worshipped God, prayed, inducted new church members and church elders.

Today's sermon was about how the Gospel gives us spiritual fullness. The speaker spoke about how we need to depend on the Gospel, remember the Gospel and enjoy the gospel. By doing these, we gradually become thankful for the Gospel and are sanctified because of it.

Sunday Service ended at 12pm, and I was happy. The three of us, my mummy, sister and I, immediately left church. We didn't even stay for awhile to mingle with others. We wanted to go to our lunch place, B-Lab, a restaurant near teh church.

We were having a celebration for my sister and I's exam results, without daddy because he didn't contribute much to our success. I know that sounds mean, but it's fact, not fiction.

Lunch was yummy. All three of us had different types of pasta, which we all shared. We also had Baked Mushrooms and two baskets of fries. It was a lively affair, with all three of us chatting about a lot of things. We chatted about topics like weird Chinese food, college fees and malaysian studies.

At 2pm, we went home, where we relaxed. We spent some more time chatting, again about various topics. Soon, my sister had to help daddy with baking, while I got to relax and watch Netflix. I spent 2 hours just relaxing, enjoying my Sunday.

After dinner, which was steamed egg, fried vegetables and soup, we started work. I started my college homework, while Mummy helped me cur and paste notes into a book for me. This makes it easier for me to revise my work. My sister, got to colour and relax. While we were working, the three of us enjoyed some chocolate.

Mummy, hard at work.
Right now, I need to finish up this post, and go to bed. It's going to be the start of another long week tomorrow. I better be ready and rested.

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

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

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
