The Lie That Led To An Awkward Situation

-
Today has been good, but tiring. I had six hours of intensive classes today, so my brain is tired. However, I still have to go through today's lessons, and write up some notes. I do plan to sleep early, since I only have Christian Fellowship tomorrow.

Back to today. Last night, mummy helped me to print out my results, which daddy will help me hand it in today. With my provisional offer being a "special case", we thought it best to hand in my results as soon as possible. To be honest, I was glad that daddy was handling it for me. I was nervous at the thought of handling my results and thanking the lecturer who helped me get the provisional offer.

So, I attended chapel at 7:30am, and class at 8. Classes were challenging today, with more formulas to learn and questions to try. My lecturer even set a time limit for us while we attempted the questions! That's why I was and still am tired.

At 10:30am, we got a short 10 minutes break. That was when I saw the message from daddy.

He posted it in the family group chat, telling us what happened that morning. He handed in my results, spoke with several lecturers and the CEO of the college, thanking her for approving my provisional offer. They chatted, and my Friday timetable was brought up.

As blogged about earlier, I have no classes on Friday. I have Christian Fellowship, which mummy wants me to attend regularly. However, with mummy working, we weren't sure as to whether daddy would be able to send me to college very Friday. Especially since Christian Fellowship is not mandatory. So, we told him that I have classes on Friday, from 12 to 2 pm.

The CEO was confused. Nobody has classes from 12-2pm on Friday, so that we would be free to attend Christian Fellowship. She said that she look into it with the CAT program head.

That's how I was called out from class to explain why is there classes on Friday from 12-2pm to my lecturer and the program head.

Realising the seriousness and awkwardness of the situation, I did the right thing: I told them the truth.

One long and surprising explanation later, I could tell that the two of them didn't really know how to react to the situation. The program head promised to explain the matter to the CEO, and I promised to explain things to daddy.

Mummy and I don't plan to explain things to him. I don't want to speak badly about daddy, but he is stubborn. He also does not like doing "unnecessary things", even though I find it necessary.

Lying is wrong. I know that. However, there is a legitimate explanation here, and there is no other way to handle this situation. The only way that I'll get to attend CF every Friday is through a lie.

I hope I can come clean one day.

Truth Conquers All. Something that I am not following.

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
