Let's see, I've been in China for 9 days already. So far, it has been pretty enjoyable I guess. Considering I've shopping with Mom; which means totally no guilt buying a whole new wardrobe of clothes, and a bag full of jewelries.
hehe. Should be able to survive with these clothes for the rest of the year(:
yay. Also, meeting people at restaurants all over Beijing, one after another. The food is definitely awesome, but I probably accumulated about a litre of cooking oil in my body so far. I guess I need the fats huh? (And I do need a tan too. Everyone thinks I'm nuts)
So, just came back from having dinner with my grandfather (Dad's side), not exactly close, therefore it's the whole sit-and-smile routine all over again; a strategy I have recycled for years. Well, I did make an effort to connect with him, but it (clearly) hasn't been really successful. Another dinner with my aunt and "god uncle" tomorrow. By now, the whole "god uncle" idea wasn't a really good idea. sigh~ I end up acting as an excuse for bridging connections for my aunt. Not fun. Preparing for yet another session of sit-and-smile. :D Million dollar smile, baby.
haha.
Despite the food and shopping, I'm still missing the peace in Melbourne.
hehe. What can I do? I have been living in a house totally quiet (due to the Nuns who have been dictating in that place) and compared to where I am now, every other place I visit in Melbourne is a couple of
decibels lower. But don't get me wrong. I'm liking it here, just need a longer time to adjust. (:
[Still missing Melbourne. Did I mention that already?]
Okay, now I am going to bed. Actually going to bed to watch Heroes. Absolutely adore it!! STORYTELLING AT ITS BESTEST BEST! whao~
