Shopping [at the bookstore] is Like a Cure For Disappointment

I know I'm not supposed to be using the computer, but I'm at Yu Wen's house and I got permission from my mom, so it's fine. Our gymnastics class was cancelled yesterday because they said if we went we'd be joining the really little kids, so they didn't want to waste our time that way. I was really upset about it when I got the SMS from my mom when I checked my phone after school. I was looking so forward to it, and it was CANCELLED.

But I felt a whole lot better when Mom took me shopping at The Gardens (connected to Mid Valley) and brought me to Borders. I bought the 3rd volume of Vampire Knight and 10 volume of Skip Beat!. The guys in VK are SO hot, and SB is really, really interesting and funny. I didn't really mind missing gymnastics for that. Not really.

Then we went to the address, this shop selling freakishly expensive but pretty things. My mom bought a lamp there. It's a little gross, the lamp. I think it's made of ceramic or something, with small white-and-blue tiles studded on the whole thing, making an irregular pattern when you put the lamp over the bulb. It's in the shape of a lady's body (no clothes!), from the neck to the thighs, and hands that are cut off after the shoulders. It's hollow on the inside, so you put it over this dark piece of wood with a light bulb on it, and the statue/lamp lights up. Reminds me of this famous statue I saw on TV, but I don't know what it's called.

We went for our first official gymnastics class just now and it was fun! Although I have to admit that the trial lesson was for some reason a little better. Embarrassing that I can't do a split (not even close to one; there are 2 kinds of splits and I practiced the other one). But oh well. I'll learn. At least I can do a bridge, right? Learned it a long time ago. JoAnne and F. Sher-Lyn taught me.

I've got to go home now. Too bad I can't stay longer. Bye!

An Uber Short Happy Birthday

Shoot. I forgot to publicly wish some people happy birthday on my blog. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Celine (I already wished her, but never mind), Paul Mae, and Bee Bee.

Gymnastics classes tomorrow! Finally! I've been waiting for this moment for a loooong time. Too bad it's only 1 hour long. That's pretty short if you ask me, and time flies by when you're having fun. Tash invited me to her school party, and I want to go, even though I'm probably not going to socialize with random strangers I don't know.

I wonder what we'll do there? Is it just eating and talking and drinking [water or juice]? I don't think they'll be playing hide and seek or anything, like we did at Celine's birthday party. They're probably not so childish as me. ^^ That's why I like hanging out with people who are younger than me.

Darn. I did some quizzes just now but there was some problem with Blogger, so I deleted the quizzes. Oh well.

Singapore and Gymnastics

[This is an unfinished post from two days ago - I'm sorry! I'm sorry! - so I'm just continuing it. Forgive all the present tense words when they're supposed to be in past tense]

Hi! I just came back from Singapore. Wonder how party day was. I couldn't go because I went to Singapore, but usually party day is the same all the time - eat, talk, play, go home.

Friday:

Went to Singapore. Stayed at The Regent hotel with my cousins and our aunt and uncle from America (Justine and Jacqueline's parents). Me and YuWen shared a room. We exercised of the carpet floor and practiced our splits and handstands (YuWen's mom showed us how to practice for it) and others.

Our room

The lovely vieww... NOT. But oh well...

We (me, YuWen, Rachel, and some of the female adults) went to the salon to curl our hair! Ugh. My curls looked really... not soft and natural, but YuWen's and Rachel's did. But sadly, YuWen's curls wore off in like 2 hours after she curled it, and Rachel washed her hair. I kept mine for 3 days (2-something, actually) and washed them on the 3rd day.

Saturday:

Me and YuWen's morning dresses. See? We match!

My Mom's morning dress

YAYYY! Our cousin, Yen Yen (today we found out she chose her English name to be... Dorcas. Dorcas Hong) got married today! My curls look much better than yesterday and more natural now. We got to wear 2 different dresses today! First, YuWen and I wore similar dresses to the church where the wedding took place in the morning. Soooo sweet! Kuang Seng (Dorcas' husband) sang to her today! He has a nice voice.

Our cousin, Sarah (Rachel's sister) in the bus on the way to church. Isn't she cuteeee? Don't be deceived though. She can be quite a fierce baby. She scratched me and YuWen and laughed. =.= But she also held up her foot for us to blow because her feet were too hot. Everytime we stopped blowing, she held up her foot again. Soooo cute!

Yen Yen (or Dorcas) and Kuang Seng. Isn't she pretty?

from left: Jessica, Rachel, Daniel, and Sarah. Soooo cute!! Sarah is, like, the cutest baby ever!

Then back to the hotel. We wanted to use the Internet on our laptops, but Internet access cost, like, RM30 an hour. So we went to Starbucks in a mall right beside the hotel and used the Internet there. YuWen and I could walk alone to the mall and buy chocolates and sweets because it was so near. XD I love chocolate.

Then before the wedding dinner at night, we went to one of the adults' rooms and found my mom, (I'll just call my aunts by their first names here because if I don't, you'll get confused), Meng Meng (YuWen's mom), Tiffany (Justine's mom), Jessica (Rachel's mom), Oi Lan (Tuan Tuan's mom), and my grandmother in the room with 2 female strangers and a lot of makeup on the floor and table. And I mean A LOT. The two ladies (women/girls?) were hired to do their makeup for them.

YuWen and my dinner dresses

We ate at this nice place that looks kind of Victorian-y.

The dinner place.

[Some of] the adults. YuWen's dad, Gary, is missing.

Rachel and the other flower girl collecting flowers outside on the lawn of the dinner place. Chijmes, I think it was called. Yeah. Chijmes.

Ugh. I'm too lazy to tell you all this in detail, so...

Sunday:

We went shopping and I finally bought some clothes at Esprit and this other shop, and got a (Singapore money) $100 voucher.

Monday:

Bought a bag with the voucher. Blah, blah, blah. Went home.

Today (Wednesday):

Eee! I was really panicked about gymnastics yesterday, because of all the videos I watched, with all the muscular girls. And I also found out from the Internet that gymnastics makes you 10 times more muscular than cheerleading.

But I might not be able to go for gym (I'll just call it that for short) if my Mom has no time to fetch me. And also if there are not enough people registered for Monday. But I hope I can!! Prayyyyyyyy... And WeeYen said he has this friend-who-is-a-girl who has been taking gym for 4 years, and she's 16 now, and she's not super muscular, she's curvy. Or something.

I have to admit, that made me feel a whole lot better. I mean, 4 years = not super muscular. Then I guess we should be okay. A little muscle wouldn't hurt, though. Better than superflabby-ness. But too much isn't very nice.

I hope enough people will register for Monday classes in Solaris, so we can go. I really, really, really want to do gymnastics. It's SO cool. I hope the teacher won't force us too much, because our nerves might not be able to take it. Forcing a little is okay, or we'll be stuck in Level 1 for like, ever. But forcing too much is bad. Bad, bad, baaaad.

Ehmagosh

Ahh! This blog is interesting! I bet you guys will fall asleep with excitement before you finish this paragraph!

I'm being sarcastic, okay? Gosh. I find blogging boring nowadays, so as a result, my blog is boring. I found out that Hazel posted our GRC cheerleading on Youtube today. Darn. I wish she didn't do that.

I found this really cool cheerleading stunts video on Youtube just now. It's guaranteed to make you guys go green with envy. I totally want to learn that, but I don't think I can.

There! Isn't it cool? I wish we could be like that. Everyone would be SO flabbergasted, and it'd be so much fun (and scary and dangerous, but still)! YuWen and I still haven't gone to Solaris for our trial gymnastics class yet. Gosh. I wonder how long we'll have to wait.

And there's this really nice song. Rolling Star from Bleach (5th opening), performed by Yui. It's soooo nice. I printed out the lyrics but they're kinda hard to memorize, so I'll have to keep trying. And trying and trying and trying.

Oh sorry. Gotta go take my passport pic for Singapore cause we're leaving on Friday. Bye!

* * * * * (this is not a bad word)

Okay, I'm back. School is getting superbly boring. Ugh. It's so boring I even wish I had my Math book, just for a change.

Oh yeah, and I'm obviously done with my ballet exam. I took off my glasses for it, since they kept slipping down, so I couldn't see the examiner's face. There was just this blurry peachy mass where her face should be and some brownish fuzzy things around the peachy mass, which was her hair, by the way.

Her hair stopped being fuzzy and her face blurry when I put my glasses back on. I did the pivots... okay. Not great. Not horrible. Actually, they were not-so-okay. But oh well. The passing mark is 40. I hope I pass!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to All the Moms of the World!

I gave a Happy Mother's Day card to my Mom this morning that I had made last night. After she read it, she came over to me (I was in my room), and asked if I had cried while writing it. I said, "Nooooo. Why?" Then she was like, "Because it's so gan dong!" which means "touching" in Chinese.

Me: O_O ... Really?

Anyway, we went for a Happy Mother's Day lunch today at the Great Eastern Mall with my aunts and uncles. I have never been there until today, but I think that's what it's called. I don't really like the mall, though. We ate at this Japanese restaurant called Daidomon.

It was expensive, but not very nice. Ugh. Wasted money. Someone recommended it to one of my aunts, so she recommended it to us. The only desserts were fruits and ice cream. FRUITS AND ICE CREAM, and nothing else. My gosh. When my Mom asked the waiter and he said there were only that for dessert, my Mom gave me this sympathetic look (I was really craving some good dessert), and I was like O_O.

Oh well... And the small Mother's Day cake that I really wanted to eat, and had mistaken for chocolate cake, was actually green tea-flavored. Pfft. That's just gross. My aunt, Diana, fed a tiny bit to her baby, Li Yen, and the baby actually made a grossed-out face and spat it out on her bib.

Lol. Anyway, Be Chim (YuWen's mom) is going to fetch me from school tomorrow and drive me to Solaris, a place where people learn gymnastics, where me and YuWen are going to have this trial to see how it's like. They told me that even the 5-, 6-year-olds there can do handstands! Omg. How totally embarrassing for us.

And omg, Prince Caspian is showing on May 15! Yay! I can't wait to watch it. I loooooove Narnia. I can't wait to watch Twilight either.

8:24PM
Change of plans. My Dad is going to fetch me tomorrow at 3:30PM instead, and I am going to sleepover at YuWen's house! Yayyy! I like sleeping over at their condo in Mont' Kiara. We might be able to go to Kiara Mart. I like Kiara Mart. And they live on like the 20-something-th floor, so there are hardly any mosquitoes.

I just told YuWen I am sleeping over at her house.

Me: I'm sleeping over at your house tomorrow.
YuWen: Huh? Really ah?
Me: Yeah.
YuWen: WHeeeeEEeeeEEeeeeeEeeEeeeeEeEe!!!!!!!!
Me: Crazy ah?!
YuWen: Really ah? Promise????

Lol! She is so funny. You should really hear the way she shouted.
