I am slowly recovering from whatever I got from Marrakesh, but I really don’t have enough energy to blog every detail, that I wish I could,about the trips I had in May, not to mention I still need to work hard for the very last thing in France. Hopefully, I can graduate on time. Aw…..how exhausted and desperate…..just like the statue in the picture! (I really like this shot with the bird on the man’s head. Anyone knows where the shot was taken? ;-))

Anyway, let me make some sort of summary, by listing pictures, before I forgot about all the trips.

Upset

1. News about the earthquakes in Sichuan Province in China are all over the internet. They are just too sad to read, but I keep checking for the latest updates and wish to see more people to be rescued. My best friend, whom I made the panda in the banner for, left Sichuan only a few hours before the earthquake started. I felt relieved when I found out she was safe. Meanwhile, the disaster became more realistic to me. Continue reading Upset…

Thanks to the technologies, we are able to watch TV programs that were on TV over 20 years ago.  Even a show that I didn’t like so much when I was little can remind me of something fun. It’s Hana no Ko Lunlun (花の子ルンルン) what I am talking about.

Weekend “Entertainment”

I am so exhausted after a whole week going back and forth between two countries. This weekend has to be work-free! Therefore, I carried on with the project I started this week on the train. It is probably going to be my largest knitting project if I can finish it, but who knows how long it would takes. I am also not sure whether I will dare to wear it or not coz I don’t really like the color. 0.39 cent for 100g acrylic yarn is a little hard to resist.

I bet this one is the most well known among all 15 inchies I drew. Taiji symbolreflects the concept of Yin and Yang. For me, it’s rather a religious symbol as it’s usually seen in Taoist temples. The Taiji symbol together with Bagua is a very important component for Fengshui. I’ve seen a Taiji-Bagua on the roof of a friend’s home. Such an ornament is said to be talismanic.

Hair Story

It is relatively cheap to get a hair cut in China. I was so eager to have my hair cut right after we arrived that I didn’t do any researches on salons beforehand. I looked OK when the haircut was done, but my hair went wild one night after I washed it.  I went to another hairdresser for help and was told the problem couldn’t be totally fixed right away without too much cutting. He straightened my hair to make me look much better. Now, almost one month of the haircut, I can see my hair going out of control again. That’s why I thought of making a headband. It’s very useful and convenient, especially when I just get out of the bed in the morning.
