Theatrey things ... [24 Jul 2008|03:14pm]

[ mood | cheerful ]

We're thinking of seeing Hairspray this weekend. I hadn't realised that it was going to be coming to Beijing as well as Shanghai. I've been really busy at work so going to Shanghai was not an option, but if it's in Beijing, then that would be great.

Secondly, we're thinking of seeing something at the National Centre for the Performing Arts 国家大剧院, also known as "The Egg".



Maybe Riverdance :D I saw Riverdance many years ago in Sydneym, but I'm sure it would still be fun ...

Huge Thank You [23 Jul 2008|06:33pm]

inell
[ mood | thankful ]

After my grandmother passed away last Wednesday, I learned later that [info]florahart organized a collection (I guess you'd call it). I'm shocked and amazed at this, and I can't really put my gratitude into words beyond 'thank you', which really sounds silly in comparison to what [info]florahart and those who contributed managed to do for me and my family. Flora gave me the names of the people who made donations this evening, and I wanted to make a post thanking them all. It means more than I can really say, and it's helped out a lot during a stressful time.

So thank you: [info]accioslash. [info]aidenfire, [info]annearchy, [info]auntee_mame, [info]bethbethbeth, [info]celandineb, [info]chazpure, [info]cloverdew, [info]cordelia_v, [info]cordeliadelayne, [info]emiime, [info]emmagrant01, [info]fluffyllama, [info]gmth, [info]heather11483, [info]idea_of_sarcasm, [info]imaginarycircus, [info]kaalee, [info]lelek, [info]marginaliana, [info]miss_bowtruckle, [info]odogoddess, [info]purelush, [info]robriki, [info]sciencegeek, [info]seshat1, [info]snegurochka_lee, [info]sophie_richard, [info]sugarquill39, [info]sweet_lemmon, [info]the_rainbow_jen, [info]vimeslady, [info]writersblock76 [info]54321sherry, and the Quidditch Pitch Captains. And, of course, [info]florahart. *hugs you all tight*

Ice cream. Evil or not? [23 Jul 2008|11:29pm]

koalathebear
[ mood | amused ]

I was baffled when I was talking about ice cream the other day and a whole bunch of girls at work said that they couldn't eat it because they were having their period. Apparently Chinese women believe that you should not eat cold things, especially ice cream during their period. One colleague tried to tell me that when she was a teenager, she ate ice cream and accidentally stopped her period and had to go to the doctor. I was told that when you have your period, you're not even supposed to wash the dishes because the water might be cold.

I have googled this and I can't find any medical basis for the notion that eating cold things like ice cream during your period is dangerous. I must throw the poll open :)

Exhausted [20 Jul 2008|07:32pm]

inell
[ mood | depressed ]

I am so tired. I feel like I haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks, which is acually true but still. The dinner thing was this afternoon, and it seemed to go well. We had enough food for everyone, and people didn't argue or anything (hey, family gatherings often lead to arguments so that was a yay). I've barely had time to think lately, much less keep up with LJ or [info]road_ahead. I've tried reading RA when I can, and have loved everything I read, but I still feel like I'm so far behind and barely treading water to keep up with the area of my life that I love and enjoy so much (fandom). It's all over now, though, so we'll see how things go from tomorrow forward. It'll be huge changes around here and new routines that will change when my aunt/cousin leave in a week or two and then when I can find a job and all that. I miss RPing and writing, so I'm hoping that I can find time soon to get back into that before I go crazy. I feel sick tonight, some sort of stomach thing that might be stress related for all I know, and I'm just drained.

Thank you to everyone who has commented during all this and sent hugs or things in the post or whatnot. Special thanks to [info]heather11483 and [info]sugarquill39 for the flowers, to [info]florahart for the relaxation package, [info]adamanteve19 for the book/audiobook, and [info]severusslave_76 for the VR Gifts. I'll have more thanks coming soon, I know.

I'm hoping to get some fandom back into this LJ, since it's been a lot of RL lately. *crosses fingers* I hope that all of you have had a great weekend and are doing well. If I've missed anything during the last five or six days, please let me know. I've just been skimming LJ when I've found time. *hugs everyone*

Dancing in the Gardens [20 Jul 2008|03:47pm]

cedrichermione

[deepwonderment]
This was written for someone at [info]portus_envy. Now that Portus is over I finally decided to cross post it.

Title: Dancing in the Gardens
Paring: Cedric/Hermione
Rating: G
Word Count: 566
Summary: Cedric visits Hermione’s family
Warnings: AU- since the Triwizard Tournament, but major cannon events happened like finding the prophecy in OoTP, Draco’s storyline in HBP and all of DH minus the Ron/Hermione stuff. Slight DH spoilers. Basically Cedric went to the graveyard, but didn’t die and remained hidden. Unbeta’d. I’d love some honest feedback.

Random photos: Meanies @ Starbucks, ovary nutrition, turnovers and a capella agony [20 Jul 2008|02:00pm]

Some random photos

The Starbucks downstairs is so nice and friendly. They know my order and often get it ready as soon as they see me. The other day when I was queuing, I was quite shocked because there was a woman in the queue in front of me who was so rude! Read more... )

Photos from around the 国子监街 Guózǐjiàn Jiē in Beijing [20 Jul 2008|01:59pm]

koalathebear
Last weekend, The Canadian, WSJ and I went to the Guozijian Street (国子监街 Guózǐjiàn Jiē), formerly known as Chengxian Street (成贤街; Chéngxián Jiē), a street in Dongcheng District, Beijing. The Guozijian and a Confucian Temple are located in the street. The Yonghe Temple (Lama Temple) is next to its east entrance.

The Guozijian (國子監 guózǐjiàn) is a the School of the Sons of State and is sometimes called the Imperial Central School. The Imperial Academy or Imperial College was the national central institute of learning in Chinese dynasties after the Sui. It was the highest institute of learning in China's traditional educational system.

Guozijian were located in the national capital of each dynasty -- Chang'an, Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Nanjing. In Ming there were two capitals; thus there were two Guozijian, one in Nanjing and one in Beijing. The Qing Guozijian, located in Guozijian Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing, was the last Guozijian in China and is an important national cultural asset. The Canadian took photos. Read more... )

Rainy Thursday on the Avenue [17 Jul 2008|09:01pm]

inell
[ mood | exhausted ]

I am so tired. In a way, it feels like much more than a day since my Nanny passed away. It was so early on Wednesday morning that we had the entire day full of things we had to do, and, today, we spent the whole day getting things ready for a wake/service type thing that we're doing. She wanted something informal with any family and friends who wanted to drop by, and we managed to get access to the banquet room area of a church nearby for a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon. She didn't go to church, so she didn't want a service thing, but this room isn't in the main church, so we think it'd be okay. I think that those of you who would want to drop by aren't in this area to attend but, if I'm wrong, let me know and I'll give the address. Someone had asked about sending flowers, but I think I gave the address to that person. Maybe. It's hard to remember right now. If I didn't and you wanted it, let me know. I'll pass it along. *rubs braindead head*

Today was spent arranging for food, buying things needed for serving and all, getting kids clothes/shoes for wake/service thing, getting some flowers so that there are some from us and all. Tomorrow, it's more errands, haircuts for kids, getting groceries, and I don't even know what else. Saturday is baking and fixing a few trays with veggies/fruits that we decided to do ourselves instead of buying already done. Having things to do keeps us busy and makes it easier to deal, in a way.

I'm going to be pretty busy from now until Sunday afternoon, but I'm really looking forward to having some me-time for RPing at [info]road_ahead, which I miss dearly, and even just not feeling exhausted by the time I sit down at night. I want to try to focus on writing that Ronathon fic (yeah, this interrupted my brainstorming for something that would let me write it so the poor winner is still waiting and I suck for losing my muse on it months ago) and the recent auction winner's requests and maybe just some things for myself to let me relax and be creative. I miss writing and RPing and everyone here. *nods*

I hope that everyone is having a great week. I want to thank you all for the kind words and support right now. It means a lot. Also, thanks to the people who have sent me things. They know who they are and I really appreciated the surprises. *hugs everyone* *goes to collapse in exhaustion*
