Wake up and get ready for school. Our house parents play us a song, which gives us an energetic boost to kick-off the day. This morning Mr Bala took us back to the 80s with Bon Jovi’s “Living on a Prayer”. Man, those guitar riffs really rocked up our morning.

7.30 am

Once we are all dressed up, my friends and I head over to the canteen for breakfast, where every day is a delightful surprise with either a touch of sambal from nasi lemak or a sunny side up to keep us smiling.

I meet my friends from international and private school because we have the same break time. We’d always have a good time discussing about where were planning to head to this coming weekend.

Time for my Accounting class, I really enjoy the style of teaching and the small class size. Everyone from my classmates right to my teacher has just been so supportive and encouraging.
