| the day I leave for China.... My flight is on Sunday, 8am.  I'm excited.
For right now, I'm not exactly nervous, I don't know why. Maybe the nerves part just hasn't kicked in yet. Maybe it will during the plane ride. Maybe that's when I start hyperventilating or something. Somehow or other, for right now I'm more excited than nervous. I'm excited to be in a different country, to experience a culture that should be familiar, but really isn't that familiar. To eat Chinese food again. Nope, no fast foods, no American foods in China for me. I'm not the kind who would crave for a hamburger or fries... so I really will not be the first to jump at the idea of eating in an American restaurant. I'm excited to meet new people and to make new friends... I am so so excited to travel to different parts of China... oh and of course for shopping! Right now, I'm in the midst of a dilemma of whether I should bring my thick poofy winter jacket, or just bring a less poofy smaller Fall jacket. My winter jacket takes up so much space, and its heavy, but its warm. The weather in Beijing is warmer than it is in Ohio, it's about 8-10 C most days. Do I need my heavy winter jacket? I really don't know.  Anyone have any suggestions?
I was on the bus today to head uptown for some Latino dancing... yeah, I went latino dancing for the first time today.. Teresa and I had some crazy moves on the dance floor, doing our own thing.. syiok sendiri only. The both of us would observe others from the corner of our eyes and try moves together and get all giddy from doing it right. It was a blast. But, I digress. As I was saying, I was on the bus and I was thinking about whether I would miss Miami or not. I've decided that I will not necessarily miss the school per se, just because I feel like I need a change of environment to keep me going, and China will do me good.... What I will miss are all the awesome events that will be going on this semester that I will be missing because of China. I can't attend the Bicentennial Ball (Miami's turning 200 this year and there's a ball to commemorate it), AAA Formal (our Asian formals are always amazing), and also there are a few student positions that I would love to apply for but can't because I am unable to attend the interviews for them... like the Student Court Justice position, I so want to apply for that position. And of course, I will miss all my friends. Especially the friends that will be graduating at the end of this semester. Who knows when I'll be able to see them again, who knows when our paths will cross again... Miami has been so wonderful with you around, it's going to be so different when I get back for senior year without you all. Just when I was thinking of all this, a group of about 20 freshman starts boarding the bus to head Uptown for some partying. Watching them board the bus, all tipsy and screaming, in their oh-so-high-heels, and their variety of NorthFace jackets... I realized what I wouldn't miss.. That. Precisely that. I will not miss the stereotypes of Miami. The girls who try so hard to fit into what the Miami stereotype is, who came up with these stereotypes anyway? Who came up with the characteristics of how a Miami girl should look like, and seriously, why are there people silly enough who actually want to fit into those stereotypes? I watched them tottering up the bus hand in hand wearing skimpy tops or dresses that barely cover their bottoms, paired with a I-think-I'm-cool-because-I'm-wearing-NorthFace jacket and I thought to myself, how lucky I am that my Miami experience is completely different than their Miami experience. I actually learned to create my own identity in Miami, not to live contained in a box.
It was Daddy's birthday on the 6th.. Happy Birthday Daddy. You know, I still maintain that I will 'yeung' you when I finally have my own job and money to spend. Trust me Daddy. I really will look after you when you get older and wrinklier... Love you.

| Fusion was last weekend. I'm too lazy to type a whole long story about it. In short... it was better than great.. it was amazing! Our Filipino Tinikling dance was awesome.. And the President personally gave the dance two thumbs up. The Korean and Chinese hip hop was sexy and mind blowing, the Japanese sword dance was too cool for words, the Chinese fan dance graceful as ever, the Vietnamese dance was so sexy and lovely with the long fans...
Here are some pictures to tell the story....
This was the Japanese sword, fan, umbrella dance....
And these are the Ting brothers, (L-R), Arvin, Andrew and Anthony Ting. They're Filipino Wushu Champions.. who are like celebrities in Miami.
 
And this is our so amazing, so awesome... Filipino Tinikling dance.
And the Viet dance girls with their fans...
And here's a very bad picture of the Malaysians in the fashion show...
And at the end of the show.. isn't this such a pretty picture. Everyone in their different dance costumes and everything....
And now, some backstage pictures...
 
And then the very HOT after party...
For some weird reason, I really didnt take too many pictures this year...
I'm leaving for Beijing this Sunday... I need to get:
-more shampoo
-diarrhoea medicine, stomachache medicine
-snacks for the SO LONG plane ride
-a pencil box
-make up removeer
-Renminbi...
This weekend is going to be a crazy crazy weekend.. meeting up with people, celebrating Hui's 21st, saying goodbye to some whom I will possibly never see again... Wow.. it's going to be one hell of an emotions-fest..! haha.

| I don't know why, but I've been surfing the Forever21 online website for a few days now. I want so many of the nice clothes, but then, I feel bad buying them. I mean, I've already been Thanksgiving shopping in Tennessee and winter shopping in New York, I can't go buying clothes online now! Dahla I'm not earning any money now, and is currently living on my school tuition money! Plus, I'm sure I will go shopping in China... I know I will, as much as I say that I won't! I know I won't be able to resist it. I've already made sure that I've accounted for 'new clothes space' in my luggage to China. That means, severe downsizing in the amount of clothes that I'm bringing there. So I shouldn't buy anything online la right. Plus, plus, plus... my mum just enlightened me with the stressful knowledge that the exchange rate for 1 USD to RM is 3.64!
"Girl, ah.. you have to watch your spending you know. Your parents are not rich. Make sure you save money wherever you can. Don't spend spend spend like money grows on trees. You know how much it costs for us to send you and your brother to the US or not? You think it's very easy to earn money?"
"Yes ma, I know. Thanks for telling it to me for the billionth time."
1 USD = RM 3.64.
Die la like that.
Oh. My. Gosh. Look at all these tops that I want. I want! I want! I want!
But I don't need... So I shouldn't buy la right?
  
All these tops cost $19.80 each.
Love the detail of the sleeves on the left-most one, and the ruffly top in the middle is what can I say... ruffly just like how I love, and the black lacy top, so sexy-rocker... I want so damn much!
  
Then there's these 3 tops that are $22.80 each. I Like. I want. That pink silky detailed top... perfect for interviews or for casual going-out, and the one in the middle, has that edgy feel to it and the left-most one.. see that lil' peek hole in the middle? - I like.
  
The first 2 tops from left is $17.80 each and the last one is $19.80. Plaid is so in right now, I want something plaid! I want a going out top that's not black, coz I always wear black out.. the burgandy color of the first top is perfect. And that diamond shape detail of the last one.. me likey!
The tops aren't that expensive right? What do you think?
I added all these clothes into my shopping basket and deleted them one by one till my basket became empty.
Now, I feel empty.
Sigh.
It's times like these that I wish my daddy was a 'yau chin lou'... rich man. Then shopping for me would be totally guilt-free. I can shop anytime I want, for whatever I want... wherever I want... Ah..... Heaven...
Yeah right. *snap snap* Wake up, Suling!
