stressed but having fun Here i am blogging about life in taiwan again. Well things have been kind of rough at home cos my buddy's dad is one really strict and old-fashioned and outdated thinking kind of guy. He scolds my buddy and her brother half the time over some things like the way they answer to his questions, household chores, homework, cell phones etc. Sometimes i get kind of stressed when i am caught in the middle of this. The first thing is that you feel kind of awkward cos you are not in their family and cannot do much and secondly, you get kind of worried when will the same thing happen again? I mean it sure does not feel good to get caught in the middle of a war that you are not involved in. And with a very disciplinarian kind of father who is not yours too.LOL. And i am having a slight cold. Shucks that sucks a lot. First thing in the morning and you realise you cannot speak and no sound comes out of your mouth. Whoa that was really bad, then you feel that sensation in your throat and it simply jumps out at you saying you have a SORE THROAT. Then my nose felt runny and it just feels bad. So i went to see a doctor today and the treatment was quite cute. He sprayed some medicine into my throat and used a cotton bud to spread it. Then he checked my nose and sprayed some stuff which felt like wasabi. After that he just prescribed me some medication and i was to go already. FAST!Haha...So i just collected my medicine and left for more walking around! We first headed to Jing Hua Cheng also called Living Mall to watch a dance competition with teams from all 30 senior high schools in Taipei. Some were really fascinating and won lots of cheers with their dynamic break dancing and unison, while some looked like drunkards trying to do the foxtrot. Loved the performance but we could not finish watching cos we had to go CUT OUR HAIR!!WHOO!The place where we are going is Zhong Xiao Dong Lu, one of the busiest place and road with lots of shops and commercial buildings. The place was called VSALON and is located in a quiet and serene alley. The salon looks really elegant and high-class. We each had our personal particulars taken down and a hairstylist was assigned to us each. Mine was called Mandy and she can cut hair, but only on the OK level. My hairstyle looks normal but she taughe me how to make it look like there is more volume with more pulling and messing using hair wax. Shweet. Then we all took lots of crazy pics and laughed around. It was really fun and wacky and i simply enjoyed myself. After that we went to meet Wei's parents for dinner and it was mushroom pot. LOVELY! I adore mushrooms and i was so hyped when i saw the food. Had some jokes shared and it did not felt that pressurising. Went to see the President's residence too. Bought a nice little rabbit toy at RUSS for only NT $299. Quite ok. Gotta wear court shoes, skirt, blouse and blazer for tmr's forum with foreign students from all around the world. Do you know how cold it is outside? It is about 11 deg celsius and we have to bear our calves!! Sheesh..Gotta bring more hot packs to keep myself warm. OK..That's it for today and i better go rest early and take my medication. Long day tmr and hope everything goes well for me. Ciao!! you make me blush :) |
