Day 4; June 2, 2012-

Woke up early! (About 7am.. still have jet lag ><) Combed my hair, put on lotion, changed, and left the house. I literally looked like I rolled out of bed LOL We all drove an hour to visit my grandmas grave. Stayed there for a pretty long time and then headed to this famous tourist location nearby. It was really dirty and rural. We shopped for a while which was fun of course :P I bought a leopard print scarf even though I don’t like leopard print anymore cause I think leopard print scarfs are pretty and classy! It was only 10 yuan. (~$1.50) I then bought a real pearl necklace; one of those really long ones. I’m loving the look of tying a knot near the end! It was 150 yuan but we haggled it down to 80 yuan! (~$12.00) I also bought a necklace and bracelet set which was originally 50 yuan but we haggled it down to 20 yuan! (~$3.00) We then went to this other pearl shop. They had pearl oysters in tanks. Ones for 10 yuan, 30 yuan, & 50 yuan. I guess the difference was that the more expensive, the bigger the pearls? But it was all by luck anyways so I just picked a 10 yuan one. He opened it and it had tons of pink and purple pearls!! So pretty!! They were tiny but really shinny. You are able to pick what you want them to make it into, so I told them to make me a bracelet and a ring. It was so fun ^^ Babe then wanted to pick one as well so he did. When we opened it, it also had TONS of white, large pearls! We got REALLY lucky. These other ladies saw us do it so they decided to buy two of the 50 yuan ones. The pearls they got were tiny!! And there wasn’t that many. So pointless… I guess we were just lucky! We also decided to make another bracelet :) Went to eat at this pretty dirty restaurant but it was delishhh!! Finally went home and I fell asleep on the way back :P Got home at around.. 4pm and was exhausted already. Such a long day! Put some face makeup on and changed. Went to this mall called “xiao ma lu”. Everything was SO expensive.. It was ridiculous! Buying clothes in China isn’t worth it >< I found a lot of things I wanted but it was just too expensive so I dropped most of it. I ended up purchasing just one dress. A color blocking one and it was 80 yuan. (~$12.00) Everything else was over 150yuan! Not worth it. We ate these really good waffle type things that were stuffed with cream. (or red bean, but I bought the cream kind) It was so yummy! They were in shapes of fishes :P Came home to a lovely home cooked dinner! Now I’m about to get ready for bed :)

Day 3; June 1, 2012-

It’s the next morning and we’re waiting for our parents to make dinner! We’re going karaoke today :) I want to shop SO BAD. LOL Got to head to a mall sometime soon. Mkay, I’m gonna go get ready now! Wearing an outfit I love today ^^ I’m trying to save my nicer outfits but I’m finally wearing one today! LOL
Finally wore one of my high-low skirts! I have tons and I’ve been dying to wear one out. Anywhos, we went karaoke with my family friends. We got 2 large karaoke rooms; one for the adults and one for the kids! It was me, frank, richard, viv, my family friend, & my cousin (Raymond). The karaoke room was HUGE! LOL And there were only 6 of us :P We sang for 4 hours! To the point where we didn’t want to sing anymore so we spent the last 1/2 hour playing that gambling dice game. The loser had to drink a whole cup of water. We ended up running out of water so we used iced tea instead. LOL Frank & Raymond lost most of the time so they drank TONS. We all had to pee so often afterwards -.- We were all so sick of the iced tea… After that, we went to this restaurant nearby. We got a 16 person private room. The table was HUGE! LOL Largest table I’ve ever seen.. couldn’t even capture it in a photo. Dinner was delish! Then we walked to a nearby bar kind of thing that my aunts friend owns. It was raining :T Left within the first 10 minutes cause it smelled like cigarettes and was just.. disgusting. Came home, showered, & slept! Oh yeah, it was some children’s holiday yesterday so to celebrate, we wore this red neck tie thing for a little while… LOL Strange.

Day 2; May 31, 2012-

Hm, what did I do yesterday… Woke up with a swollen eye again ): Took away liquid liner from my routine. (But it didn’t help considering my eye is swollen again, the day after) Had a delicious breakfast! My uncle goes out and gets us breakfast every morning :) Got ready and my aunt picked viv, richard, frank, and I up from our house. She brought us to this cafe shop where we had coffees and smoothies! My vanilla smoothie was really good LOL It was really.. watery.. but good! Different than what smoothies are usually like. Then we went to get our nails done. That took HOURS. LOL Like literally 2-3 hours. The boys went around the city themselves and bought a ton of random stuff. I love my nails! My toesies are really cute too :) I wanted something mint green or coral but I ended up going for this reddish color. After that, we headed to my “town house”. (My aunts & grandparents house) Saw my cousin, Raymond, again. He’s so big now! Last time we saw him, he was still about our height and a little child but now he’s suppperrrr tall. He’s a completely different person! So crazy. We went around the neighborhood on bikes and scooters after dinner. LOL I haven’t biked in 2 years so it’s so hard again ): Plus I can’t reach the floor. Ugh. Better learn before Davis! Came home pretty late and knocked out right away b/c of jet lag  :P
