Time Waits For No One

-
I groaned at the sound of my alarm this morning.

I tossed and turned, dreading the fact that I had to get up and go jogging. My only wish at that moment: to continue snuggling with my blanket and fall back into a blissful sleep.

After a minute of groaning, I dragged myself out of bed and shuffled to Mummy's room to wake her up. Even though I entered the room grumpy, I left the room feeling happy. We agreed that we were lazy, so my wish was granted! I got to continue snuggling with my blanket, and go back to sleep.

I woke up at 8:20am, feeling lazy, but rested. My sister and I had a quick breakfast of bread. Then, we started our copying session. After all, like typing, handwriting is boring to practice. So, it's better to practice handwriting with a partner. My sister is nice enough to be my partner, even though she doesn't need the practice.

Once we were done, I did some typing. My mummy, sister and I chatted, while we each did our own work. Mummy had to meet an ex-colleague for lunch, so she left around noon.

For our lunch, Daddy cooked. We had Fried Pork and Long Beans with rice. It was a nice dish. The pork was yummy and the long beans were crunchy. Daddy also made Lotus Root soup, which is surprisingly, one of my favourite soups now.

I used to dislike lotus root when I was younger. It was always a struggle to get me to eat them. I was a stubborn child, and could spend hours staring at the bowl of lotus root soup. My parents were undeterred by this. Since I disliked the soup and didn't want to drink it, they made the soup very often. So, I learned how to tolerate the soup. I guess I eventually learned to like it.

After lunch, I enjoyed a long Netflix session. I have to enjoy myself over the next few days. After all, once college starts, I won't be able to relax much. Mummy was home at 3:30pm, with snacks for us to enjoy.
Time To Party!
Right now, I'm enjoying said snacks and about to watch some more movies. There are only 4 days left until college. It's still so surreal for me. It seems like only yesterday was my first day of homeschooling, and I was so excited about not going to school anymore.

Time really flies.

Typing this now is also a reminder for myself. I cannot waste anything in life. I must do everything, from studies to exercising, to the best of my ability. If I don't, time flies, and I will regret the wasted opportunities.

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
