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?

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.
