Cooking lesson

One day, my neighbor gave a huge bamboo shoot my mom
Mom said she would use it to make soup

So, mom asked me if I wanted to try to cut the bamboo shoot?
Of course, I said yes~
Who knew preparing bamboo shoot would be so complicated!

First you have to peel off the skin
When peeling it, since the skin was so hard, I almost broke my nails

But, after careful instruction from my mom
I was able to easily peel the skin with a knife
This is what the peeled bamboo shoot looks like, doesn't it look like a Christmas tree
The final step is to cut it into slices~
My hand kept trembling with the knife, afraid that I would cut my own hand
Next time, I want to learn more dishes

QiJing Tour

Going on another trip~
This time, the destination is Gaoxiong's QiJing

But before heading out, got to head to the department store
To buy some skin care products to take care of my skin
Buying skin care products is a big drain on the wallet
Passing by the baby products floor
I saw lots of kids playing in the game room, they're really cute~

And the lighting on this floor is great
There are many balloons in the play area to play with
Heading to QiJing, got to take a picture on the bus
Recently, the weather is hot, so I like to put my hair up
There are bright lights on the ground, spelling out "Cijin" [alternate romanization of Qijing]
In QiJing, I didn't miss the seafood
I almost forgot to take a shot of the delicious seafood!
Finally, I took a picture with a ship, but it was a model!

My Long Hair

Usually, I show up with curly hair in front of people
Now, I'd like to show you the long straight hair behind the curls!
Picture with glasses
First, let me show you the curls as they are being styled
Recently, people say my hair is long
Just how long?
Rear view in black clothes

I'm worried that you can't see with me wearing black
So, I thought I'd take another wearing white
Really long, right? I have spend a long time blow drying everyday
It's summer, so I would tie my hair up everyday
Otherwise I'd die from the heat

A day with family

We haven't gone hiking for a long time
Today, dad was going to take us south in the car
But it suddenly started pouring, so I said...
since it's raining in the south, so let's go north
I fell asleep after I said this!

After I woke up, I was already in JiaYi!
And it's also the background for the photoLiquor and cigarette official sore
Dad said he wanted to go visit a traditional village
It really has a classical feel!
Even though the ticket was a bit expensive, but pretty fun!

Since everything inside is very valuable,
So photography is not allowed~
Because it would damage the life of the antiques...
So, I'm sharing whatever I can photograph!
Don't you think I look classical in these clothes?? haha!
Because I wanted to fit with the theme of visiting historical sites!

Inside this door, there is a divider screen with a long history
The screen is made of all kinds of jade and the Dream of Red Chamber stories are carved onto it
It was breathtaking!
This is traditional style bed, I stood beside it pretending to be a maid!

This year's birthday is very special
Because many people are celebrating my birthday with me

This is the first time
That I've received best wishes from people other than my friends and family
I was really touched and happy
Thanks to everyone who remembered my birthday,
who went through lots of trouble to send me gifts
and fans who send mail all the way from Japan

And, of course, all the fans who left messages wishing me happy birthday
Anchii's 20th birthday was warmer thanks to you
Everyone, please continue to support Anchii and Ice CreaMusume
Anchii will continue to try to bring happiness and better performances for everyone

Classic oldies

This presentation is the finale of the semester, but there was not much of an audience
Because everyone went home after the finals!

But everyone viewed this presentation with a light heart~
And put a perfect period on the semester
Everyone has to participate in at least two performances
I sang two songs, one is a Taiwanese song I sang by myself
The other was a mandarin song I sang with a classmate
I was copying Ding XiaoYu
with glasses I borrowed from someone else

I got the costumes we wore~ Good choice, right?
After we changed in the bathroom and came our, we were surprised

Because it's as if we were looking in a mirror
We looked exactly the same, that's sick!
This was the costume for the Taiwanese song
But due to the light, I look real skinny
I like it!

Elements of dance

Anchii Blog Entry #45 originally posted Jul 20 Mon 2009 20:10
Since the last dance presentation
I've been looking forward to this one
This will be a combined presentation from the entire class
this is the first time and I think will be the last time
Since it's a combined performance, there will be over 100 performers
It's really crowded~ Backstage was full of people
Since this class will only need to perform for 10 minutes
It's clear that we'll have to zone out for the rest of the 2 hours of the performance
but waiting time can be used efficiently
Such as leg lifts, napping on the floor~

The lights backstage are perfect for photos, I'm always in heavy makeup for dance performances*
This morning, everyone got up early to arrange the performance hall, mop the floor, arrange the chairs, etc
There was lots and lots to do, everyone was so tired, that they could fall asleep as they stand!
Did you notice the headset on me?
In this performance, in addition to being a dancer, I'm also doubling as an usher, cool, right?
I look very professional, I like this feeling
And this performnce, ended perfectly
