IOU

It's been a while! Been busy both at work at home with chores and TEFL-C readings (I'm almost done, hoorah!). I'll be going to Sanlitun this afternoon to explore what all the fuss is about-- I keep hearing about it... I even heard that I can find sinigang mix there! Quite excited, yes, yes.

I'm proud to have woken up early today just so I could do my laundry and cook breakfast. I will do some studying before I head off to my first jazz dance class here in Beijing. Hoping it'll turn out to be a good class!

By the way, I just have to share-- I heard Christmas carols being played in 7/11 last night! It made me happy.

Big Girl Duties

I'm off work today and I had the opportunity to go to the supermarket to buy some things for my kitchen. Such an effort it was carrying a small bag of rice, a skillet and food items back up to my apartment (I live on the 5th floor, in a building with no elevator)! I'm happy though because it means I won't be going in and out just to eat 'cause I can finally start learning how to cook for myself :) I got to cook my first meal just about 30 minutes ago-- broccoli with garlic and steamed rice. Not bad for my first time. I think I put too much garlic so I'm just balancing out the flavor with some dried mangoes :p

I have quite a bunch of things to write about (my parents paid me a visit over the weekend-- hi mom and dad!) and equally have lots of chores to do. Hoping to accomplish as much as I can today so that I have time to laze around tonight until I get back to work on Friday. :)

What are You Going to Do this Weekend?

Having students above pre-k age is a totally different experience:



So what are YOU going to do this weekend? :)
