Compared to the previous round, reporting in time was much later at noon and 1.30pm respectively for JE and SE. Kakak did their hair and make-up again.
Take picture at home first
In full costume! Can recognise us?
The girls look very different from their normal selves when in full regalia! We rented the costumes as usual. Luckily found nice ones to fit.

The big girl
( Ah please notice that hoop. I didn't know before that you actually have to TAPE it to make it look nice. So I was looking around for suitable tape, eventually getting round to the process of taping, then a layer of cellophane tape on top, then another. Each process taking a very long time with multiple rework. Quite pleased with the final result, heh. )
The girl cousins
JE had two events, hoop and ball. Unfortunately she didn't do well this time. 5th place in hoop, last in ball. :( Previously she managed to get 2nd overall, this time definitely no placing at all.
Last in ball...
SE only had one event, the rope. While she's in a group which really challenges the teachers... never mind that for now. The results were called. I was hoping, hoping she wouldn't get last place. She wasn't last... nor second last... nor third... And it turned out she was placed third and managed to stand on the podium. She was thrilled!
THIRD place, woo hoo!
Phew... heaving a sigh of relief that this is over. There were extra classes for a whole month, so that was Saturday AND Sunday mornings of me having to sit through gymrama class. And having the girls (especially JE) continually complaining they hate gymrama and wanting to quit.
Not bad for JE who kept saying she wanted to quit but still attended all the practice session. Did winning 3rd place give SE the motivation to practise harder? Well done to both of them, winning is not important, it is the sporting spirit that is important.
ReplyDeleteHopefully SE has a bit more motivation moving forward! Yeah actually v hard to win for this. Looks like either have the talent for it or not... if not then can't go beyond a certain level.
DeleteThe girls look really different from their usual self with the make up on. Kakak really good with the hair and make up. Must have been disappointing for JE, but encouraging for SE to be placed 3rd place. Tough competition for SE. Placing or no placing, both have done well and deserved to be praised for their effort.
ReplyDeleteKakak got better and better haha. She kept touching up as it was a long time between reporting time and their turn, and also said every time they looked better.
DeleteStacy, thank you for mentioning about your comments disappearing on my older posts. So sorry for the inconvenience. I did some setting to the comment. I have rectify the setting and I think the problem is solved.
