Becoming Me

I started my community service wor k today. In order to pass CAT,  I need to finish 20 hours of community service, and write a journal about it. For community service, I chose to serve  at  the  YMCA  street feeding, run by Samaritan Ministries.   T his street feeding is  supported   by  several  groups . There is Trinity Methodist C hurch, who handles the funds and supplies volunteers.  Samaritan Ministries was started by this church as well.  There is also Kenosis Home, who handles the cooking of the food and rehabilitating anyone who wants to stop living on the streets. Lastly, there is YMCA, who supplies the premises.    Samaritan Ministries started street feeding 11 years ago, and it has grown from strength to strength. The ministry has committed volunteers,  partners ,  and received timely donations .  Despite the growing number of  people  on the streets  who need to ...

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...

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...

Today was good. Mummy and I went to Mid Valley, as we had some errands to run. The most important one was to take passport sized photos of me to submit for college. Something that we didn't do earlier due to my conditional offer. We took the photos, had breakfast at Kim Gary and bought some things. Mummy and I chatted more about our feelings towards my results and our homeschooling journey. It is amazing, thinking about how much God has blessed us. When I'm less tired I will probably blog about this more, as it is something that I want to blog about. At 11:30am, I was dropped off at college. I settled the photos, got my student ID and added some things in my locker. At 12pm, I attended CF, which was good. For this semester, CF's theme is "Belong".That's why today's talks so relevant. It was even by one of the lecturers, who spoke about how all of us belong to teh body of Christ. We should never think that some of us are better, while others are not...

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 fr...

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 ...

Another day with more work. Today started early, at 6am. I jumped up, and quickly got ready for college. Mummy and I were looking forward to a piping hot bowl of IndoMee, but Daddy ruined our plans. He was already making the Baked Egg Cup, which is normally tasty, but didn't taste as good today. I had to quickly shove it in my mouth before leaving home. I was dropped off at 7:20am, leaving me 10 minutes to walk to chapel. Even though I was reluctant to attend chapel at first, I have to agree it's good for me. It's a good way to start the day. Judges 5, the bible passage we read through today was all about how God helps us through trials in life. I left chapel early, as I had classes at 8am. After 4 hours of class, it was finally time for lunch. I was starving by then! I'm pretty sure I would have felt light-headed if I didn't eat some biscuits earlier. My lunch was packed from home: bread, sliced cheese, sliced bananas and egg filling. I also had a pack of b...
