Today was such a long day! I went to ballet, and brought along my rollerblading clothes so I could change into them coz I'm not going home after ballet, I'm going to Skating lesson in papa's car along with the whole family rightaway. I wont right the private stuff, but after ballet class, when I was waiting for an empty changing room for me to change(there were only two changing rooms), there were a group of girls who asked me to go into the changing room and change together. Ew..... I mean, I'm not used to changing with other ppl, and I never done anything like that b4. So I hesitated for a moment, then decided that we were all girls, so they wouldnt want to look at me. And even if they do, we're all girls..... rite? So I said yes, and went in. Its so cramped! And we keep on aciidentaly glance over at one another. But they didnt seem to mind. I guess they do this all the time. So when I reached the Pasir Ris MRT station, I called my papa as planned, and papa drove the whole family to pick me up at the bus stop, then in the car they told me that we were taking lesson at geylang bahru instead of Marine Parade. Then we arrived at a sheltered area where there were a few ppl there. I hate that place! No1, there are small drains on the floor so we can trip over them and fall, so its not a suitable place for blading IMO. No2, the ppl there were like, not proper ppl! They are like, perverts! They keep staring at females, including Mama, Minna and I! Yes, Minna and I. They even want to look at children! OMG! Then there was even someone sleeping there! But at least the space was big enough for us to practice. You'll never guess what I learned, in just my SECOND lesson of figure skating! A wall JUMP!!! I actually can do a half jump! First you do half a mohawk( you are rolling backwards). Wait a minute. Those who dunno how to skate skip this and go away! You wont understand....... unless you just wanna listen. then u lift up your back leg, which is your left leg if you are starting from the right leg, and turn and do a half jump, and land on your right leg. Once you land, you IMMEDIATELY switch to the outer edge so that you can balance. I practiced quite a few times, and I finally can do it! First we do it on foot so that we can learn the steps first. Scary when I first tried, it was scary! Minna tried very hard, but she still only can glide a little bit. Poor Minna! Hope she catches up soon. Then we end lesson at 7.30pm and papa bought a pair of pants( we call it the buttock guard coz it protects your butt) that has a thin sponge at the back to protect your butt. I dunno the proper name, have to ask papa tmr. And I forgot to tell u that I have another classmate( she is not new) who is Chinese. She learn for quite a long time, but she is almost as good as I am. My instructor says she have attitude problems so she learns slower. Let's hope she can catch up. She didnt come today coz she was too lazy, according to papa. The butt guards cost bloody $40!!!!!! How expensive! It is only used for building up confidence when jumping. My instructor said that children learning figure skating in Taiwan wear these pants. So we bought a pair of it. Its worn on the outside of your normal pants, not the inside. It looks really bulky so you dont have to wear it all the time. Theres a reason for wearing it on the outside. So if you wanna stop training jumping, you can just take them off. Its really convenient. Ok I just asked Mama what they are called. They're called crash pants. Funny name. I'm gonna bring it to lesson tmr for training my jumps. Then after lesson we go to Changi Airport Terminal 3 food court to eat dinner. Xiong jie and I both ate chicken rice and Chrysanthemum tea. Then I helped papa but coke zero. Then we went home and I started typing this, and halfway through mama asked me to take my bath( I didnt mention it) and I continued. Now I finished typing. G' nite!
