Im starting to wonder if not all cats are suffering from some degree of mental disorder…
Also I am wondering how old Snus (the cat Im babysitting) is, because I think she is very childish. Snus’ hobbies so far seem to be: climb and eat my palm tree, jump in and out of my dirty clothes basket, attack garbage bins, run in circles, and disturbingly she seems highly interested in the toilet and shower.
I wanted to take her out for a walk today, but then I remembered I don’t have a babystroller to put her in.
She is so lovely, I will miss her when Emma comes to pick her up tomorrow.
I’m going through the new Chinese words we have to learn for the next chapter in our book… sometimes I really wonder what the use of some of the words are.
Like this week’s ε―Ήθ which of course means “rantithetical couplet”, whatever that is. I don’t think I have ever before in my life needed to use the word “rantithetical couplet”, I don’t actually even know what it means.
And also amongst the list of useful words we will learn this week is ζ°΄δ»οΌwhich means narcissus. Another word I have never used before in my life.
Time to google to find out what rantithetical couplets really is…
My first Taobao purchase has arrived!
I bought a GHD hair straightner from Taobao. Taobao is sort of like the Chinese E-bay, only way better π
Normally GHD hair straightners cost around 1000-2000 rmb, depending on which country you buy it in, but I only paid 85 rmb for mine!
I wasn’t sure if it would be fake or not, but I decided that if it’s real then that’s superb, if it’s fake and it sucks then I only loose 85 rmb, and if it’s fake and works great, then who the hell cares if it is fake or not.
Right now I’m ecstatic because I’m 99% sure it is real as I managed to log on to GHD’s website and register it. Also, it works kick ass well!
I also bought some bookshelves at 45 rmb a piece from Taobao but they haven’t been delivered yet…once I get them I can unpack the 4 boxes of books I have and finally get settled in my new flat π
Yeah, I managed to lose a pair of pants in the bar yesterday.
Not my pants though, they were Sarah’s. Duh! Dangran!
We were going to Jonas’ birthday celebration at Mao Chong (really good pizzas, I want to go to there again!). Only when Sarah and I were about to jump into a cab did I realise that a pair of her black tights had some how gotten stuck to my jacket. I put them in my pocket, but they must have fallen out when I took my jacket off at Mao Chong. And of course I forgot that I had accidentally brought them along and didn’t think about it until this morning. Ops.
I didn’t realise how bad it sounded, until I called the bar to ask if they had found a pair of pants lying around their establishment.
“Ehh Hiii, I think I lost my pants in your bar last night. I mean, I think I lost my friends pants. Ehm I mean…have you seen a pair of black tights lying around your bar from last night?”
Unfortunately, they said they knew nothing about a pair of missing pants. Sooo where can they be?
Oh the mystery of the missing pants…somewhere in Beijing a pair of pants are lying around all alone and lost.
Damn…
I haven’t been online for quite since life has been very busy. In the last weeks I have
1. Lost my internet at home and haven’t had the time to fix it (surfing on the neighbours’ now)
2. Quit working at the Norwegian Embassy
3. Going through the process of getting a new Visa
4. registering at University
5. My computer broke, so had to go get that fixed
6. Practicing pole dancing for the upcoming competition
7. Got a job as a Swedish teacher
8. Oh yes, that little matter of housing. Need to be out of my flat on Friday and have still not found another apartment… Kind of stressful.
So as you can see I dont really have the time to write much, especially since my neighbours’ net is sooo slow.
It’s a white New Year!
Woke up this morning to a white Beijing π
Apparently this is the most snow they have had in 16 years. Okay, so it is about 3-4 cm deep, but whatever, I am SO excited!!!
I tried making a snowman but the snow was too loose, maybe in a few days time. It will snow again on Sunday so we’ll see if it goes any better then.
Everyone is out “shuffling” snow, cooperation in action!
