Salsal And Her Daily Life!

Winter Break Alert~

2008-12-19T15:43:00.000-08:00

Alas, the long awaited moment! It's finally winter break! 8D A two-week long break from school, which is freaking awesome. I don't know what I'm going to be doing all day long, though. I do know that from December 24th - December 26th, I'll be missing. Which also means that on Christmas day, I'll wake up in some alien-like environment. Bleh.

And thus concludes this super-short post. >.>

Company~

2008-12-14T20:20:00.000-08:00

Today, my mom's friend from who-knows-how-long came to stay with us. She's really nice, and she gave me and my brother a box! Yeah, you'd probably think it wasn't anything exciting or anything, but my brother's is like this complicated maze box that you have to go through a lot of steps in order to open. It took him a long time, but he finally got it.

And I got a new iPod today! ^___^ Now I won't have to do homework in front of the computer if I want to listen to music at the same time.

Erm... Not the Best Halloween

2008-12-11T17:37:00.001-08:00

I know; I should've posted this like two months ago. But anyways, I was sort of dead. So my Halloween went like this:

The day or the day before, these people announced that our school was going to hold a Halloween costume contest, and there's three sections: Most Funny, Most Original, and Most Scary. I didn't know what I was thinking, and I wasn't expecting to win, but apparently, my class elected me to go for Most Original. I was going to be L for Halloween, but nobody would know that, so I was like "Oh, I'm going to be a tired person", which sort of fits his description. SORT OF.

And on the day, on the stage, I was just like into the mic: "Hello, people. I'm er... a tired person!" because I'm certain that nobody would know what I am without that. Heck, everyone thought I was goth >.>"

Anyways, the two kids from my class got first place, and I didn't get anything. -.-" And I think that the Most Original contest turned into a Funniest Contest, because all the kids who won prizes were like sort of funny. The first place dude was a robot, and it was sort of funny because he kept on crashing everything, the second place person had spaghetti hair, and the last person was a safety-guard person (this one wasn't that funny, but I thought he looked sort of funny. Maybe it's just me though).

During advisory, I got this feeling that over half of the class was mad at me because I didn't get anything, and two kids were complaining to me about it. "Aw, Sally! You didn't win us any points!" Bleh. And I wish I told them "Well get over it; it's better than not trying at all!" I didn't though; I was feeling a bit depressed at that time to actually think of a comeback. ToT\

That night, when we went trick-or-treating, the sky was cloudy; it rained earlier, and there was a drizzle when my friend and I went out. We were trick-or-treating alone, and we went into this neighborhood that my other friend lived in, and I can't say it was exactly trick-or-treater friendly. The place was like dark, there was no decorations, and nobody was here. I figured we started out pretty early.

Anyways, it was raining somewhat hard now, and we had to run back to my house to get an umbrella. And then when we came out, the rain stopped. Bleh. THEN the rain started again, and after I got the umbrella up for like a couple of minutes, the rain freaking stopped. That happened for quite some time, until I finally gave up and stopped using the umbrella.

I can't say it was the best Halloween I had; I don't think you could call it nice if you had this feeling that you had a whole horde of angry classmates who are mad at you. And the rain ruined it a bit, too, because it wasted some time. Bleh. At least we nearly filled our bag up; and I got 3Musketeers bars, so I'm sort of happy. ._.

Bad Teachers Much? D<

2008-12-09T19:52:00.000-08:00

Rawr. Salsal angry! Salsal has the world's worst teachers! Dx

Yes. You heard my. Half my teachers are crap.

P.E. teacher - he plays favorites; he loves this kid and hates the rest of the class. And he's so strict. Dx

Science teacher - she's not that bad, but she still loses her temper at the class, and nobody ends up happy. And she's really strict too.

Core teacher - Bleh. She hates me with all of her heart and soul. She calls me out in class so much times, and she nearly lost her head when I lay my head on the desk for like a split second. Bleh.

Only my Math and Band teachers are good. And Wheel doesn't count; I switch teachers constantly.

First Few Days of School!

2008-12-09T19:31:00.000-08:00

Yes, I know, this should've been posted in like, August, but whatever. Anyway, Middle School had started, and I was really excited ^_^

My schedule went something like this:

0 Period: P.E. (with a horrible teacher)
1st Period: Advanced Math
2nd Period: Band
3rd Period: Science
4th-6th Period: Core (language arts, social studies, and reading)
7th Period: Wheel

Anyways, the first day of school went okay. I went to the multipurpose room to pick up my schedule, and I had almost all of my classes except for two with my best friend (whose name I will not mention in case she wants to kill me).

1st Period: I tried getting my teacher to call me Salsal; but apparently, it didn't work. She marked "Sally" in her attendance book x.x I'm thinking that I didn't make a good impression.

2nd Period: I tried getting my band teacher to call me "Salsal". He didn't seem to mind that much, but marked "Sally" in his attendance book anyway.

3rd Period: I tried getting my science teacher to call me "Salsal". It didn't work; she didn't mark anything in her attendance book and went on calling me by my er... passport name. I don't think I made a good impression, and I'm thinking that she probably decided at that moment that I was the devil spawn or something.

4th-6th Period: I gave up on getting teachers to call me "Salsal". I made too much bad impressions already x.x

7th Period: I had foods to begin with, and you get to cook in this class. It was fun; and the teacher was nice. I wanted to make her happy~

The second day...

Well, the day started out normal, sort of. I came to the gym, because that's my first class, and then the bell rang and everyone came out. But when people came out, I saw that it was my friends who have band!

"Where were you?!" a friend shouted at me. "You missed P.E.!"

"What?! I did?!"

"Yeah, P.E. starts at 7:30 (which happened to be the time I woke up at -_-)!"

Bleh. That wasn't very pleasant. I mean, imagine accidentally cutting class on the SECOND day of school and learning that you have to wake up at like, 6:30 AM everyday or something. Bleh. I ran into the gym to tell my P.E. teacher that I accidentally skipped P.E. because I didn't know; and he didn't seem that bothered about it. Just yet. Anyways, I live, but I probably didn't make a good impression.

Third day:

We had pictures day today, and it's a Wednesday. Every Wednesday, school starts at 9:06AM. But today, since we had to take pictures, I had to wake up at like 7:30AM and arrive at school at like 8:30AM to get pictures taken. Anyways, the day before, I was sort of paranoid, because I didn't want to come really early and find that it isn't time to take pictures yet; and make myself look like a fool. And I didn't want to come late, either, because I'd look like a delinquent. Probably. So the day before, I kept on pestering my friend about everything and confirming the time.

Right. I got the pictures. Well, I got it on my ID card. I'll send one over if you want. x.x

And thus concludes the first three days of school!

Camp!

2008-08-30T21:32:00.000-07:00

Anyways, what the title said!

One thing that was really exciting for me was that I went to a Chinese Camp. It was to teach us about movie-making, and what can I say? Whenever I see like this live-action movie or whatnot, I always wonder "How long did it take for them to film this?!" because it takes FOREVER to film something. I swear - they probably filmed one part up to like, sixty times before. O_O My patience would really run out by then. Hell, I'd probably be gone by then!

Anyways, let's describe my lovely time at camp!

Day One, 7/26/08:

We were waiting in front of the place where they would get the bus to take us to the camp place. And believe me, it was CROWDED. I looked for my class, and unfortunately, there were a bunch of little kids. Well, there were probably kids that were just short for their age, but still. I didn't feel too comfortable, and neither did my cousin. We just kept to ourselves, and talked in English.

Yeah, blah. We got onto the bus, and luckily, my cousin and I got seats together. xD

We got to the place, and we had to film something along the way, which really pissed me off. I wanted to watch the scenery outside, but all this "Stop!" and "Again!"s made it kinda hard to watch something peacefully -_-"

So the first stop was our dorms. As we walked there, there were dead mosquitoes plastered everywhere (which I must add, totally didn't help my impression of this place), and it didn't smell too pleasant.

We got our dorms, and luckily, I ended up with my cousin (again! XD). There were these other girls in our room, one who is about as tall as me, and this other short one wearing a dress.

Then I looked at the bathroom, and there were two sinks, one of those squatty potties (Ugh, hate those) and the shower was with the potty thingy. And there were no walls to prevent the water from the shower leaking out.

And did I mention there were dead mosquitoes on the walls?

That afternoon, we were filming, but I didn't realize it that much, and I was really sleepy. So I fell asleep. XD But there was this fun part, where two of the kids were fighting, and then one ran and they were chasing each other around the room, my cousin and I wore our caps the wrong way, and pretended to be the gangsters from America shouting "Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" XD So that was fun.

Day 2, 8/27/08:

We got these lines for a movie today! Except I got a little arrogant, and picked out a good part. Maybe I was a little too confident about my acting skills....

Anyway, my part had all these complicated words in it that I couldn't read, and then the kids started yelling at me saying "YOU STUPID IDIOT! DON'T YOU EVEN KNOW THAT WORD?!"

Well, that didn't help my self-esteem, but I knew that I couldn't turn back - my name wouldn't be too good then. >< And my cousin had a lucky break, because she got this part with a bit of English in it, and the language was easy. What can I say? The kids weren't too happy. We both got yelled at horribly that day.

Day 3, 8/28/08

The day went normally. Nothing surprising happened. Much. My teacher decided that the play with my part that has super complicated words was not fit to be a movie, so we did something else. It wasn't so hard - and I love my role.

The story we're going to film is about this kid who brought a pear for lunch, and he didn't want it, so he gave it to the teacher. From there on, the story traveled and traveled and traveled until it reached the ears of a news reporter, who wrote it as a newspaper article. And so the kid got rich, and then he was being driven crazy by the reporters who want to interview him to get a good scoop on a story. XD

And I'm one of those reporters! XD One of the reporters who were taking pictures of the kid. I feel bad for my cousin, though, because she's the kid (and the kid's a guy. But the rest of the kids said that if she doesn't play that role, it's not going to look right), and she has to memorize all these lines and stuff. Not fun. xD

8/29/08

Fourth day - we went swimming! XD We had to walk to the place, and it was like, a fifteen minute walk.

We got there, changed (ugh. And in front of all these people!), and jumped into the pool. I must say - it was FREEZING in there o________O But then I got dragged out of the pool (along with my cousin and some other kids) because we were supposed to film for a movie. And it took up over half of the time. -__- And there was practically no swimming time. We only got to stay in the water for like, ten minutes after the filming and then we had to go... -______-""

8/2/08

Eighth day - we were playing tug-of-war today, and it was sort of good and sort of bad at the same time.

Our class won the first round against this class, and they had two college (or to-be-in) students. And then, on the next round, we were going to start, and I was at the back, and then the match suddenly started. The problem is, I didn't hear the dude counting, and even worse, I found out later that we had been against the class we beat before and the class we were facing, so we were facing... hm. I'll say about forty three people. And our class only had twenty three. And what annoyed me even more after that was that over half the population of our class started crying because they lost.

Later, I heard from one of my classmates that one of the college students from the other class that we clobbered stuck the middle finger at him, and it was sort of funny. If you think of it now, that is.

8/4/08

Last day; and I must say, I'm missing that old dump. I miss the crappy living environments, I miss the teachers, I even miss the long boring hours where we sit in the classroom trying to film things. ToT

Anyways, our teacher picked my cousin, me, and this other girl to be like directors for our class or something, and my part was complicated. I managed to get through it, though, so I'm fine.

I admit something: I cried when we were about to leave; I really had fun at this place. ToT But at least I'm keeping in touch with a person that I met in camp. There's this other guy who has my email, but he doesn't seem to email me anymore. He emailed me when we first got back from camp, but I think he forgot about us. xD

And thus concludes my camp trip! (bleh, took about months to finish. I'm such a procrastinator. x.x)

I'M BACK!

2008-08-28T18:09:00.000-07:00

YES, YOU HEARD ME, I'M BACK FROM CHINA! xD And from here on, will be a series of posts that will be about my China life from when I returned to Beijing! XD If I can just find the time to do it, that is....

The Painful Process of Getting Your Hair Straightened

2008-07-16T19:52:00.000-07:00

I got my hair straightened! Yes, you heard me! I. Got. My. Hair. Straightened.

And the process was really painful.

First, they wash your hair. Not much painfulness there.

Then, they dry your hair, and leave you sitting there.

After they come back, they put this smelly chemical thingy on your hair, and let you sit there for like, half an hour or less. And that totally killed my nose.

When they come back, they put this wrapper thingy around your hair, and they use this thing to heat your hair for like, another hair an hour or less.

So when they get back, they take the wrapper thingy off, and then they wash your hair.

Then... finally, finally, FINALLY!!!

They straighten your hair. And the guy kept on pulling my hair hella hard, which totally didn't help. -.-"

After they straighten your hair with that iron thingy, they put this other chemical in your hair. My cousin says it smells like apples - not like I deny it. Much. I though I caught a bit of an apple scent in that chemical, but then, it didn't smell that bad.

Then they made me sit there for fifteen minutes.

Then, then, THEN they washed my hair with all this shampoo stuff, and tada! My hair was straight~~

Let's see now...

I started the process at about 9:00 PM, and the process ended at 12:30AM. Well, I think you get the idea of how long and painful the process is...

Anyway, I have a picture here... Just lemme try to upload it.

And I fail at that... XD Just ask me for it or something - I'll send it over. o-o

The Adventures of Salsal and Her First Day in Shanghai!

2008-07-13T06:43:00.000-07:00

Wheee~~~~ I have finally arrived in Shanghai! And then I am off to Beijing, where there is...

... no internet!

Anyways, yesterday, our plane was like, late. Really late. Kind of. If you consider twenty minutes really late, then yeah... XD

So we waited at the airport for like, two hours. When we were supposed to wait for like... I don't know, really.

And then the plane came. And we went on it. And my cousin and I sat in the middle aisle, with this other guy next to us.

And then... after twenty minutes of waiting for people to board, the plane takes flight!

It rolls into the flying track thingy! It gets its engines ready! Then, it starts running and the passengers in it bounces up and down! And then it flies! Wheeeeeeee~~~~~

Anyway, over half the time, my cousin and I were drawing, talking, or... yea. Talking. Let's put it that way. The guy next to us asked if I took drawing classes or something, and I was like "No, I learned this on my own." And then he complimented me on "how talented I was, being able to learn to draw like that on my own". I think I'm being cursed, cuz talking to strangers make me feel funny.

And then I ate bag of peanuts, and drank a cup of sprite. And then we talked for a bit. Then I took a piece of gum. And the landing killed my ears, and the gum was all gooey. And got stuck in my hair. Kind of. My fingers were sticky, a tip of my hair was polluted, and my mouth was sticky. xD

The plane arrived at about 12:40 AM, which was technically the next day.

And then we got off, got our baggage claims, all that junk. And then after we got our baggage, we went to the place where we wait for a taxi, and...

... the place was barren. And there was this HUGE line. And we waited for a long time, and got onto a taxi at 1:15, which... yea. xD I'm impatient.

There is only one phrase to describe the taxi ride: Laughing attacks galore!

And we arrived at 2:00AM at our hotel. I can't say I am very fond of it. I prefer the hotel in Shenzhen better xD

And then I slept at 3:00 AM, because I had to take a shower. And I went to sleep with wet hair.

I woke up at about 12:00PM the next morning, and then ate cup noodles for lunch/breakfast. And then my cousin, brother, and I spent the afternoon sitting on the couch going on the internet and watching Death Note.

Then, at night, we went out to eat, and then we went shopping. And then my cousin and my brother needed to go to the bathroom, and they didn't want to go to the public bathroom because it smells, so we went back to the hotel. XD

Unlucky Amusement

2008-07-09T07:20:00.000-07:00

I... am cursed. Because my day today was horrible. Lemme tell you about it.

We were going to this amusement park today, and I thought it was going to be a blast! Well, guess what? It wasn't... ._."

It was pouring at like, a billion gallons a second, so we were forced to go in. And then we saw this ride, and we went in line, and waited for like an hour. Then we went on the ride, and all we did was shoot red dots with a gun while sitting in this cart, and it barely lasted five minutes.

And we went out, and there wasn't any rain. Well, not much. Just a little drizzle. So we walked around, and almost all the rides sucked.

We walked for a bit, and then there was this roller coaster thingy. It wasn't the best, but good enough.

So we ran for the line, and it turns out that we were first. Then we found out that they were testing the roller coaster, because it just finished raining. So we waited. For over an hour. And then we got impatient and walked away, and a minute after that, the ride was open.

I was pissed. Seriously. I think that the God of Luck has something against me today.

And we ate lunch after that, and the rice was all burnt, the chicken had all these pieces of bone stuck in them, and the bok choy was bitterish. But I liked the orange juice!

Then there was this ride that was like sixty meters/feet high, and the line was short. My cousin and I got in the line, but right before our turn, I had to poo. So I went to the bathroom, with those holes in the ground, and then when I finished pooing, it turns out that my cousin was done with the ride. Without me.

And then we went for this other roller coaster, and I slipped on the way. There's this stain on my white pants, right where the butt is, and then my arm was like, red. After I washed the debri. And then I slipped again! And had to walk back to the water fountain. Nice, eh?

But then the rest of the day was decent.

We went on this fast roller coaster, which was fun, then we rode on this water ride twice, and I was soaked, and then we went on this spinny ride that makes us go upside down, and we rode another one that tosses us high in the air and spins us there. So all was good.

And then after we finished the rides, we went to watch this show. A part of it was boring, but most of it was really cool! I was jealous. The women who were performing were so skinny! O.O

THEN we went back to the hotel, and my stomach started hurting. And then we went to eat dinner with my dad's friend's wife and her kid, and he's thirteen. And big. And scary. And clings onto his game boy, so that wasn't a very pleasant of an experience.

And my stomach still hurts, sadly. ._."

All in all, it was a bad day.

The Last Day Ay My Grandma's House!

2008-07-05T03:16:00.000-07:00

Today is special... because it's the last day at my grandma's house, before I go back to Beijing, where I will be staying for most of my vacation.

Well, let's describe this day, shall we?

It was pretty much well, normal and uneventful. My brother and I stayed home all day, we went on the computer, drew, read, yea, you get the point.

In the afternoon, I got a call from my friend, Connie. And guess what? She said that she met a good friend that she has met online in real life! It was so cool, and I knew that person as well. She's such a sweet girl; well, someone older than me... XD Anyways, Connie is sixteen, turning seventeen this year, and the girl that she met is fourteen. Maybe a two to three years difference? XD Anyway, I feel so happy for them, celebrating their fourth of July together! If only I was there with them!

Later, I was eating durian; the leftovers from yesterday, and it was surprisingly good! Maybe sitting in the refrigerator has its effects. But it was still really sweet; I had to eat it with water!

Anyways, we're having dumplings for dinner! ^o^ With meat and vegetable fillings; I can't wait! Everyone from my dad's side of the family's coming! It'll be so fun!

Sadly though, it is the last day that I am guaranteed to have internet access =/ There aren't any in Beijing, unless you count me staying over at my uncle's, whose house is really really squished. And the toilet sucks, because you have to well, it's not your everyday porcelain bowl toilet. There's this hole in the ground and that's what you pee in. o-O I think that people who have been to China before would know of it. XD

Anyway, here to say a final farewell to my grandma and her family this year, because I don't think I will be coming back. ='(

An Experince With Durian

2008-07-04T02:01:00.000-07:00

Today, I went to the supermarket with my grandma, and we came home with half a Durian!

Well, we took off the plastic thingy that covers it, and then we got it onto a plate.

Sadly, to my disappointment, it was all gooey and mushy! I expected it to be solid and whatnot.

Anyway, I took a bite out of it, and it was pretty good. And then I ate a couple more bites... before it got disgusting. You see, it is... too sweet. The kind of sweet that is is like, in my opinion, the disgusting kind of sweet ._.

Right... just watch Jassy-senpai and Reckless-senpai kill me ._.

Disappointment ahoy!

2008-07-03T20:30:00.000-07:00

Today, I was faced... with one of the biggest disappointments of my life, while I was boating.

So we went to the dock, yadda yadda yadda, and then we got this guy to drive this boat for us ,and it was supposed to be a speed boat! Well, it wasn't speedy at all! I swear; I couldn't feel anything, but there were a little bit of sprays flying. But that still doesn't change the fact that it was so slow.

And then after that ride, we went to rent our own boat, and guess what? The boat was still hella slow! Dx Slower than that "Speed boat" earlier. And the fact that my little cousin, and my grandpa being worry warts weren't helping! And then my little cousin started to scream at my brother, who was steering the boat, for going to "crash" into this island thingy, but my brother ended up avoiding it.

... I don't want to type anymore. Just remembering what happened pisses me off.

Zee Awkward Mountain Climbing Trip

2008-07-02T18:41:00.000-07:00

I don't know why, but I always post about the day after the day has passed... xD

Anyways, yesterday, we went up to Mount Taishan, as said on the sign.

The mountain was good enough, we climbed a bit of it by riding on a bus; and the scene was great! I do wish that the bus would go a little slower, though. My brother's pictures are all blurry! Dx

Anyway, after we got to the place where the bus drops us off, we went and ate lunch. There was noodles, and this small clump of beef on the top, and my mom said it was really really salty. I say it was okay though. And then after lunch, my dad and my brother each bought a cob of corn that looks all well, weird.

After my dad bit a bit into the corn, I asked if I could eat some, so he handed the cob to me. And I ate like a huge chunk off of it. Then my mom wanted it, so I handed it to my mom. In the end, we left an eensy beensy bit for my dad, and he finished that. I do feel kind of sorry for him, but it's amusing to see how he acts!

And finally, we climb the mountain!

My dad was being well, not very good. He got tired after the first three steps, which was... well, dumb. I decided to carry the backpack for him, and lasted for a pretty long time.

But then later, it got more tiring. When we were climbing for like, an hour or something, my legs started to ache. But we were getting higher. In fact, when I looked down, I wanted to throw up my lunch! It was so high... ._.

Right, don't want to get into too much detail, so here's a few weird events:

When we were climbing, at a point, there was this guy who was like to my mom "Hey pretty lady, need a hand?" except in Chinese. And I was just like "HOLY SH!T YOU B@ST@RD GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY MOM NOW BECAUSE SHE'S NOT SINGLE AND AND AND SHE DOESN'T LIKE TO FLIRT WITH PEOPLE AND AND-"

Right... xD

And then there was this other guy who was wearing this pink shirt, and he asked where I came from. I wanted to tell him I came from planet Earth, but then, I just told him I came from America. It's not like he knows WHERE in America. XD

And on our way, we keep on running into him, which I find really strange, but, let's move onto the next topic.

When I was nearing the end, there was this other guy who was walking next to me, and I feel all competitive, so I started to climb a little faster, and he did the same. And I lost. XD Oh well, at least I got to the top!

And that's it for the weird events on the mountain. Now, let's see what happens after we got down the mountain, shall we?

When we got down the mountain, there were these taxi drivers who went up to us, and they were like "WHERE DO YOU WANNA GO? WHERE DO YOU WANNA GO?!" And I was just like, seriously freaked out.

And my dad picked this guy, and we were abut to board his taxi, when this other guy grabbed my dad by the arm, and was like "Oh, board my taxi!"

So the two taxi drivers were attacking each other. And then this other guy with a taxi came up to us, and we quickly boarded that taxi and drove off. Well, before we drove off, I saw the guy that my dad first picked calling the cell phone, and I was just like "WTF?!"

Anyway, we arrived at where we wanted to go, this bus station thingy, when this person came up to us and were like "Do you want to go to LinYi, Liao Cheng?" And I was going "WTF?!" again.

The person took us to this gas station, and told us to wait there while he calls his bus here to pick us up.

So we waited for a long time, and noone came. So he takes us back to the station, and we went to look for a taxi.

My dad asked if any of those taxi drivers can take us home, and they were like "Well, we would have to pass this strict inspection thingy at the Huang He college place," and I was going "WTF?!" again.

Well, we got into this taxi, got to the inspection place, and then we changed taxis and THEN we finally got home.

That was stupid. Well, I didn't eat dinner that day, because I didn't feel like it. I think that all the commotion destroyed my appetite.

A Family Reunion From My Dad's Side

2008-07-01T04:02:00.000-07:00

Yeah, so yesterday, it was really hot and all, and we were going out to dinner; some kind of family reunion thingy from my dad's side, as said on the title.

So first, some of the relatives gathered at my grandma's house, and when everyone that was coming was here, we headed for this restaurant. Well, I just discovered yesterday, that.. well, I have another older cousin, and I call him "weirdo".

I also think that he does well in P.E., because he tends to run around a lot (show-offy, by the way), and he likes to practice punching. Maybe it's just me, though.

So we got to the restaurant, went up to the third floor, ate, yadda yadda yadda.

And then after my brother and I ate, we got bored. Like, seriously bored. So we bothered our dad, and each got a camera.

Here's when the fun starts - me and my brother, we started running about the place, taking random pictures. I swear - we must've taken like, a billion pictures that day! Hopefully, my dad will enjoy deleting all the pictures. We might get killed anyway, though.

Right, back on topic.

My brother started pestering "Weirdo" with his camera; he tried to take pictures of him, and Weirdo kept on running away. But in the end, ze Robin triumphs, and he takes like, a billion pictures of him. XD He even took a picture of him walking into a bathroom! Dx I called him a pervert though x]

And then me and my brother got bored of the camera - and started a pillow fight... with only four pillows. I had a feeling that the person was glaring at us; the person who was serving the food.

All in all, it was a pretty good day.

A Brush With Death

2008-06-30T02:06:00.000-07:00

... Don't say anymore. I know, I'm writing in... pink. My least favorite color. And I'm writing in a font that I don't even like. Well, because I'm feeling really really... well... about to die today. -.-" Lemme tell you about it.

Yea, so today, we had our family photo taken; the family from my dad's side of the family. Yup, I'm in Liao Cheng, Shan Dong right now, where my grandma lives. I got to her house yesterday, and it's horribly hot here! Right, let's get on with it.

Right, we were having our family photo taken, right? Well, we got to the place, and those people wanted us girls/women to put on MAKE UP before we take our photos. I, of course, being the Salsal I am, started to protest. Like, really really protest. I almost had to scream!

Well, I ended up in the chair in which you sit in while those people put make up/whatever on you, because my dad wanted them to, and they put all this gel in my hair that makes it all stiff... and they retied my hair! I say it is unfair, because if you just like, take the picture while you're all neat and stuff, well, it isn't like you taking it, right? Especially if you're a messy maniac.

And then those people were like "Okay, we won't put make up on you", and then after they finished doing my hair, they were like "Okay, now, we will put like, a thin layer of make up on you, okay?"

Oh my god, that was like, one of the worst moments of my life, I mean, seriously, what kind of tomboy-like type of person would want to put MAKE UP on? Well, not me!

They did all this weird stuff to my eyebrows, put stuff on my face, and in the end, they even put on this lipstick thingy for me! You don't know how much I suffered. I'm pissed at my dad, because it is him who forced me into that chair, and he also said to me something about no make up! That's why I hate it when adults do that! They just have control over everything, and you can't do a single thing about it!

Seriously, I say this is worse than when I got my shots in like, preschool! And that's really bad! If they put any more make up on, I might as well just die!

My Life in China So Far

2008-06-29T07:03:00.000-07:00

Yay! I have already lived a week into my China expedition, and for that first week, I couldn't exactly, well... use the internet .____. Anyway, here's a brief summary... I think... okay, maybe not so brief, of my first China days:

Day 1: I arrived at China. The landing was HORRIBLE. Seriously, my ears were killing me when they were landing. But then the last couple hundred meters or so, that landing was good enough. I couldn't feel anything afterwards. Maybe the wind was really strong when we were high in the sky, that the landing was unsteady, and then when we got lower, the wind wasn't so bad! Right... let's go on.

So after we got off the plane, it was so hot! The air was really humid, and I felt like I was about to melt! And the baggage claim wasn't any better; we had to wait so long, my backpack was really heavy, and so were the baggages. At least we got a cart to carry our luggage around in, though~ 8D So that wasn't so bad.

And then after we got our baggage, we went out to the place where we leave the airport, and it was all weird. There were people behind this line, and they were just staring at us. I felt like an animal in a zoo or something... ._.Anyway, after we left that line place, we were standing there, waiting for my uncle to come and pick us up.

My mom said that only he was coming, but to my surprise, four people came! My grandma-in-law, my grandpa-in-law, my little cousin whom I call Beibei, the same Beibei as Fuwa Beibei's name is written~ Fuwa is the mascots for the Beijing Olympics this year~ 8D For those of you who don't know XD

We had to squish into the car, because there weren't enough seats. I think. XD My little cousin was supposed to sit in the front with my grandpa-in-law, but then she ended up in the back, where it was much more safe. I learned that the car rules here are much different than in America XD But then the traffic is horrible... ._. I swear, billions of people must've gotten killed each day! Dx Okay, not billions, but you get what I mean.

And then we got to my cousin's new house, and the house is like, awesome. xD The toilets were much better than when I came back to China four years ago; at least it is something that I'm used to. I like my room as well; it is big, it smells good, and I have a lot of place to sleep. But the bed is really really hard. Anyway, the day was good enough. I got to taste my grandma-in-law's cooking again, and believe me, it is good! 8D Right, just look at me brag... But still, I'm not exactly kidding.

My grandma-in-law and my little cousin had to go after dinner, though, because my little cousin had to go to ballet the next day; her class starts at 9:00 AM and ends at 12:00 PM. I got really sleepy at like 6:00PM. It's because of jetlag... I went to sleep at 7:00PM that day, but my mom wanted me to stay up until 9:00PM. I find that funny, because usually, she wants me to sleep early, and now she's just BEGGING me to stay up later. xD Well, I slept at 7, so I guess you gotta owe this round to me.Oh, and did I mention that my brother got his hair cut that day?

Day 2:

Today, I woke up at like, 5:00AM. Mainly because I slept so early the day before, and because of this construction thingy that's going on. My room window is facing it! Dx Well, not like I was sleepy anyway. I got up, did the usual routine, you know, brushing your teeth and washing your face and all that junk. My mom checked my grandpa-in-law's blood glucose that day, and it was at like, 166 o_O I forgot the measurement though. But then she tested me, and I got 157. I was so freaked out! Dx And for the rest of the day, I was forbidden to eat the foods that I love, like... sugar. ._. You know, ice cream, cake, all that stuff.

After breakfast, I went to see my little cousin's ballet/dance class, and I got totally freaked out at her teacher. I mean, that teacher, she screamed at the kids if they did something wrong, and I don't know if it was just me or whatnot, but she slapped one of the kids that did something wrong across the face! Seriously, that teacher might as well kill the kids and get it over with. Hope she gets fired or something, because seriously, I have no idea how they even live with her!

When my little cousin's ballet/dance class was done, we went to eat lunch with my other aunt. The restaurant looked all rich and formal and whatnot, but so much of the foods were spicy! Plus, I was not allowed to drink the juice, so I had to resort to tea, which was really really hot, and not the best thing to eat with spicy foods. But there was corn, and I ate that! And some other meat, and shrimp, so I ate my fill on those.

And I also went swimming that day! It was really troublesome, because you had to go to my uncle's college, or, where he went to college, and the bathrooms there STINK! And you had to pay to get in there as well. Plus, you have to change in front of all those people. Definitely not fun for me! Well, those people there didn't seemed to be bothered at all. Good for them. I'm done! Seriously, I don't want to go to that place to swim again. The water was really cold as well!

After eating dinner at the college, I wanted to take the bus home. But my brother didn't, because he had his short washed, and now he's wearing a "ridiculously loose" shirt that my uncle gave him to wear. Well, I started to complain, and in the end, my grandma-in-law bought my brother a green and white striped T-shirt, so that took care of the problem. But then the bus ride was so long! O.O It was like, two hours before we realized that we passed our stop. So we ran off, and then we started to walk around Beijing, and got even more lost than we already were. In the end, we called a taxi over, and finally got home. It is only the second day, and we've already ran into trouble. As Chinese people would say, 真倒霉！

Day 3:

I found that yesterday's high glucose in my blood was from overeating on the airplane the day before. On the airplane, I ate this super sweet cake for lunch, that my brother and my mom didn't even want to touch. And then I drank like, three cans of sprite. o_o And don't forget that cup of orange juice that I drank! Anyway, to put it simple, I ate a lot on the plane.

We went to Tian An Men today, or ... well, it's like the Chinese Whitehouse. We were supposed to go to visit my grandma-in-law at the college today, but then, we found this traveling agency at the place, and we booked for a trip to the Great Wall that was going tomorrow. Then, we saw this other trip that was going to this water land place, and this radio TV tower place today, and booked for that as well. So much for our plans of going to the college to visit my grandma-in-law today.Well... the trip? What can I say; it was worth it! XD Well, it was fun!!

Day 4:

We went to the Great Wall today! I really hoped it was worth it, because I had to wake up at 5:00AM that day.The taxi cab ride was... let's say not so pleasant. The traffic sucked; and for a second or two, I thought that we were going to miss the ride.When we got to the meeting place, the taxi driver decided to park FAR away from the place. And guess what? We had to walk there. Luckily though, we made the bus.The bus was really dirty; I guess they didn't bother to wash it. Much. It disgusts me in a way, because who knows what kind of people might've sat on it. It wasn't pleasant to smell, either.

The bus ride was okay; it was really bumpy, and sitting at the back of the bus doensn't help you very much. You sit like right on top of the engines, and you can't hear the person in the front speaking to you; that guy tells you stuff about the place we're going to. I ended up moving to the front, kind of, next to my mom, and fell asleep.

Our first stop was to this place where the emperor lived. Not like I cared much about that, but hey, I'll describe a bit of what happened there.

Well, one thing's for sure, me and my brother fought. A lot. I don't want to go in depth, because it might get well... really bloody and violent. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating things a little bit. Again.

The buildings were kind of cool, though. There's these stand thingies, and then at the corner, there is this creature thingy. If you could look closely, there are holes in its nostrils, and they use it to drain out the water during rainy days. Smart, right? It serves as a decoration and a thing that helps the room!

There was also this door, and they say that the door is the door between the dead and the living. the Emperor never goes through it, until he dies. When he is dead, he is carried through the door, and his tomb is underground. The people who bury him go back through the door, and back into the living world. At least that's what I remembered. I think. Oh, and there's a certain way to cross the doors!

If you are male, when you step over the door, you must use your left foot. If you are female, you must step over the door with your right foot. My brother though, being the Robin he is, stepped over the door with his right foot. Maybe he wants to be a girl.

We left the Emperor's palace with peaches and cherries, because there's these people who were selling them.

After the Emperor's palace, our next stop was this Jade museum or something.

I actually learned some stuff there, like how to tell the difference between a real jade and a phony, and so much more. I also saw these other displays of jewels, which were really really cool.

As a souvenir, I got a jade bracelet for 100 Chinese dollars. I say it was really cheap, compared to what my mom got. She got a jade bracelet for 1200 Chinese dollars! O.O Well, my brother got this zodiac pendant, and he got the dragon, even though he was born on the year of the rabbit. I say he wants to turn eight this year!

After the jade museum was lunch. The food was okay; some of the food I really really liked. There was this kind lady who bought this bottle of fanta for her kid, but then he didn't want it. So she poured me and my brother a cup. I was about to refuse, but seeing how kind she is, I couldn't help myself.

Finally, FINALLY after millions of other places, our next stop was the Great Wall. We climbed the first four floors with this slide cart thingy, because the steps were really steep and all that; if you fall off, you can get severely injured, or even die!

When I got to the fifth floor, I started climbing.

The steps were really uneven; there's like, three high steps, and then one super low step, and then there's like another billion small steps, and then a high step. You really have to watch yourself; you might just die here as well!

I was climbing the place for like an hour, before we had to go. It's unfair! I started to complain to my mom, and she bought a bag of kettle corn for me. So that problem is settled.

After the Great Wall, we were taken to this store where you can sample some of Beijing's foods. I ate a roasted duck sample, and immediately fell in love with it. My mom bought two packs of chopped duck for 30 Chinese dollars in all, and two packs of duck wings for ... I forgot the price. Well, anyway, we went to this other sampling table, and there were these fruits and wild stuff that grows on trees. I say that they are delicious, at least some of them. The others are far too sweet, or I just hate the taste.

After that place, we finally headed home! Well, not exactly home, but we headed for the place where we first started out. After we got to that place, we took a taxi home.

When the ride was over, I looked into my mom's wallet; she had less than 100 Chinese dollars left! O.O And she brought like, 2000 Chinese dollars. Well, she really spent it this time!

You know the duck that we bought? Well, we opened it to eat with our noodles for dinner, and guess what? It wasn't how I expected it would taste. First of all, when the duck meat fell out, there were just two pieces. TWO PIECES. The pieces weren't very big, either, and when I took my first piece, it tasted like bone. I spat it out immediately. The meaty part wasn't as bad, but it's not like it's very good. For one thing, it's very salty. WE GOT RIPPED OFF!

---

That's all I'm going to post for now; it is getting late, but it's not like I'm going to get off. I'm just saying that the limited batteries on the laptop is running out XD And I want to do something else while I'm at it. Haf fun reading all that... xDD
