One day i hope to go bungee jumping and sky diving. i was born in China but have lived in Australia most of my life. Having said that, i'm still quite chinese lol. i like pink things, ribbons, bows, hearts, hello kitty, ruffles, lace, florals. i have a shoe fetish. i wouldn't call myself a shopaholic, although most of my friends would say otherwise.

The second week passed faster than the first. This is probably due to getting used to the hang of things. An average week day looks like this: simple breakfast, morning class, rest, lunch, hang around uni/do homework, dinner, rest, watch tv, sleep. Weekends are usually filled with shopping in the city centre. Found a mall with many small nice shops along Yan An Road so have been going there most of the time. The clothes, accessories and shoes there are all so cheap! (Well after bargaining ofcourse). Managed to find the Wu Shan night market on Friday night. It was completely packed with people. There were many little stalls with accessories, clothes, shoes, makeup. It was really hard to browse the stalls because there were just too many people! We were literally shoving our way through the crowd. It was a good experience though, I bought a few accessories and 2 pairs of nerd glasses (big glasses with no lens), and ate takoyaki (japanese octopus balls).

The one thing that I’m still in awe of are the drivers on the road! They are crazy, and crazily good! I could never drive in China! While in the taxi on the way to the night market on friday night, I literally thought I was going to die (multiple times). The driver had his window wound down all the way, so wind was blowing in my face. He was speeding and making sharp turns and breaks /: It was very very scary. But thank God we are all alive. And crossing the road is another very scary thing. The chinese people just cross as if there are no cars. I’m surprised there are very few accidents considering the amount of people, cars and bicycles on the road. All I can say is, chinese drivers have very fast reaction, and are good at cutting in.

I bought clip-on hair extensions last week hoping that I’d be able to go to a hairdresser, get them trimmed and fitted nicely onto my hair. However went to the hairdresser on Friday afternoon and the end result just didn’t turn out right /: The extensions were much thinner than my real hair volume so they looked very fake ): In the end got my hair and the extensions permed instead. The perm actually turned out very nice; hair extensions still look very fake, even after being curled so I think I’ll give up wearing them. Maybe can wear them after my hair grows longer.

Overall it’s been another very good week. My cold has nearly fully recovered, thank God for that (: The weather seems to be getting colder so I think I need to get some thicker clothes. Went to Walmart on Thursday and found a very nice stationary/accessories shop in the same shopping mall. We spent an hour in there and bought many many things. Everything was so cute and cheap! Ahhh that’s the good thing about coming to China :D but the only problem is, how to bring everything back?!
