Party Girl

Been partying too much lately. We put on a party last night for the international students, everyone had to wear white. It was good as lots of mpeople turned up but apparantly there was a huge fight. I can not remember as I had far too amny shots of sambuca! Ouch. Anyway here are photos for a Jack Wills launch party, awesome night with my flatmate Julia. We did not get back till 5am! And we spent far to much time posing in the toilet!

Ho hum

Now I have forgotten all the lovely things I had to write. I have just been working out at the gym, it really clears my head. I can not believe I never excercised a year ago. It's so good . Anyway I have lots of climbing and party photos that I was going to post but I have somehow lost/got stolen my camera's usb cabel. Well I just brought a new one from amazon for 1p. Bargin! I have run out of food in my house so all I have been eating is eggs and tomatoes and more eggs. urgh. free range of course.

Political in content

I have lots to say, but I need to catch up with my reading on New German Cinema so all I can offer this post is to say what I feel is true and just in my heart " Mike Patton for President!"

中国新年！

Today is the first day of Chinese New Year. I think the Chinese New Year is much more meaningful than what we celebrate here for the Western New Year. All we do is get drunk for one night then feel awful for the first day of the year. In China you spend time with your family, eat family food, cook together, such as 包饺子。 Also they give each other money, which is a nice gesture for their lives ahead. I wish I was celebrating it in China. I have no one to give 拜年. On Saturday the Chinese students will make fireworks and a party but me and Kate are hitchhiking to Bristol to climb for the day and may return late. It would be nice to make some more Chinese friends, all my friends here seem to be from Hong Kong! Same 'country' I know but they are much more Weesternised.

As it is Chinese New Year what better way to start a new leaf. I decided to not be scared of every little thing, like lead climbing, speaking my opinion in class, meeting new friends, my future plans... I also find I am sometimes very weak and agree with people as not to offend them. I decide now to speak up and if people do not like this well, then never mind. I need to have more confidence in myself, not worry what others think. There is no use going through life delaying your aims, you only live once. It is better to have no regrets. All the risks and adventures I have taken have only led to the most amazing times. I think I need to learn from this.　The picture taken below symbolises my new outlook on life!

大家新年好！

想我的宝贝了

These days I miss my boyfreind. It is always raining outside. Yesterday I went climbing on the Moors. So cold I actually fainting whilst belaying! opps. Tonight it is my friends 25th, so we will go eat a spicy curry, mmm i miss spicy food. I ate all the spicy tofu I brought back from China. English food is so dull. I wish I was in Yangshuo, in the bar, playing pool, climbing with my boyfriend. ah happy days.

It is raining outside

Performativity

Why do girls wear make-up? Why do men age gracefully and women hideously? When I go clubbing and see all the painted faces I feel uneasy. I am a hypocritical. I wear make up everyday, without it I feel naked. But men always tell me I look better without it. Is gender really a construct? A function of reproduction? Is it part of our programming to wear make up and perform? Partly yes maybe. It can be an art. I think geishas look beautiful. But there is such a thing as grace and class which many woman in England lack. I vow never to stoop so low.

Unmotivated

These days I feel a little dissapointed with myself. I am so tired after hitting up London seeing my friends that I really needed to catch up on sleep. I went out as soon as I got back for my friends birthday. Went but drank far to much so spent yesterday eating and eating. Urgh. Plus I cant upload pictures onto my blogs layout. I swear I love my apple mac but sometimes it does not like doing things windows does. But she is pretty. I skipped my chinese class today as I woke up late. I am going to hit up the gym tonight before my pole dancing class and get back to the health! Oh an so excited am thinking of buying a apartment in Yangshuo. It will be new and fabulous and hopefully a good investment. I asm going to go have a look this easter holiday. When do I have time to do my essays!!?

Welcome!

Welcome to my weird and wonderful world. This space is for my daily life to become immortalised. How dramatic. I hope you will enjoy this little bit of me in the vast domain of the internet.
