i know i say this quite often, but the past couple days have really been tiring! 

the beijing online chatroom taping and tv taping went ok, it was just unexpectedly HOT inside the studios... the online chatroom was already so warm to where we were all pretty uncomfortable, but then the tv taping was even hotter!  it was to the point where even with the lights off, it was dizzyingly hot... then when they turned the studio lights on, i really felt a little bit light-headed and woozy from the lights and heat!  i actually felt like i might get a sunburn or be tanned a shade or 2 darker from those lights and heat, haha!  i’m wondering if this is the reason why i was a little bit sick last time, bc going from sweating indoors to chilling cold outdoors so suddenly must make it easy for you to get sick if you’re not used to it... i noticed i tend to get headaches from the heat... especially in the hotels, where there’s no way to turn off the central heating, i would be all stuffy and headachey for most of the time, and have problems sleeping bc it was too warm!

anyways, after that we were supposed to catch a flight to sheng-yang, so we had already checked-out in the morning, and packed up all our luggage to put on the car.  we went to the beijing airport, and checked in, and were waiting nearby the gate, when we heard that the flight to sheng-yang was delayed due to foggy conditions.  the previous flight to sheng-yang had already flown there but couldn’t land bc of the fog and had to fly back!  so we waited and waited, and then found out our flight was cancelled.  so we had to get our luggage off the plane and check-in at a motel provided by the airline... the tough part was that there was no elevator, so we were preparing to carry all our luggage up ourselves, but thankfully the airline ppl were quite nice and 2 big men offered to help us.  by the time we were settled in, it was already pretty late, i remember it was definitely after midnight, (maybe close to 1am?) and the airline still couldn’t confirm when we would be able to fly, they said hopefully the early flight (around 7somethingAM) would be ok, but we would have to wait until the morning to find out. 

this is where things got more tiring... the charity performance was scheduled to start at 1pm, which meant that we might possibly have to go straight from the airplane to the performance venue, depending of course on what time we would be able to fly.  so in order to make it for the unconfirmed early flight, we would have to leave for the airport at around 5somethingAM to make it in time... so i got up at 430am to get ready, and then waited... and waited... and waited... haha.  during this waiting period, the hotel staff called me and knocked on my door maybe 4 or 5 times to ask me the same things, if i was checking out yet, and if i needed housekeeping service, all of which i replied “no, thank you” to.  one man scared me by attempting to open my door!  i had fallen into a drowsy napping mode while waiting for the call about the flight, but as i am generally a light sleeper, i woke up right when i heard ppl outside the door.  then i heard a soft knock, and before i could even reply, i heard the “beep” which signifies that someone is trying to use a key card to open the door!  i jumped up and frantically said, “who is it? there’s someone in here!”  and he asked me the same thing, if i was checking out yet!   another guy stood outside my door for a while, and bc i had already noticed the shadow under the door, i knew someone was standing there... so i tiptoed over to the peephole to see if it was maybe CPM, but it was a male hotel staff member... he was standing there, and this woman came up to him and said, “the ppl in there haven’t checked out yet...” and he even replied, “oh really?” and “are you sure?” and then he knocked on my door anyways... i said, “who is it?” and he actually ran away!  like a little kid, running around, knicker-knocking or something!  (knicker-knocking is a silly trick that kids play, knocking on doors and running away before the ppl come to answer the door) it was actually pretty funny, but of course at the time i was just tired and grumpy that “do not disturb” didn’t mean anything and of course from getting up at 430am and waiting so long while worrying if we would make it in time for the event! 

it turns out that we waited until almost 11am for them to call us to say we could fly out.  so things were really rushed, we were really worried about not being able to make it to the event, bc it was still scheduled to start at 1pm!  so we had to go straight to the event right after we got off the plane, and directly to the stage to perform... and right after the performance, we had to go right back to the airport again to catch a flight to shen-zhen, where i am now! 

well, it’s already late, and i am pretty tired... but before i sign off, i wanted to say thanks to everyone for your cheers and comments about 舞林大會 i really hope to be able to go on to the next level, but bc we are in the middle of promo period, i’m not sure if i will have the time!  i guess the best i can hope for is that enough ppl will vote for me so that i can still partake in the semi-final or final rounds, even if we can’t make it to the next one!  so if you want to see me go on in this competition, pls show your support!  i really want to be able to go on, i’ve even been day-dreaming about what kind of dance i would like to learn next time or some silly ideas of my own!  ok ok i’m going to go get ready for tomorrow... goodnight everyone!  sweet dreams and have a happy day tomorrow!  hope to see all you shen-zhen fans...!

從北京到瀋陽到深圳...在一天中

我知道我常常這麼說，但過去幾天我真的非常的累！

在北京的網路聊天室錄影和電視錄影還好，只是錄影攝影棚出乎意外的熱...網路聊天室很溫暖使我們很不舒服，但之後的電視錄影更熱！意思是當燈還沒開時，就熱的讓人頭昏...然後當他們打開攝影棚的燈光，因為燈光和熱，我覺得有點頭昏眼花！我真的覺得我可能被燈光和熱曬傷了或曬黑了，哈哈我想這是否就是上次我有點生病的原因，因為突然從熱到會流汗的室內出來到很冷的室外很容易使你感冒，如果你不習慣的話...我注意到我會有因為熱而頭痛的傾向...特別是在飯店，不可能關掉中央空調的暖氣，我總是覺得很悶熱及頭痛，而且因為太溫暖而睡不好！

總而言之，之後我們要搭飛機去瀋陽，所以我們必須在早上去退房，打包我們的行李放上車，我們前往北京機場，接著2辦理登機，在登機門附近等待，此時我們聽到飛往瀋陽的班機因為大霧而延誤，而先前飛往瀋陽的班機因為大霧不能降落而必須飛回來！所以我們等了又等，接著發現我們的班機被取消了，所以我們必須把行李從飛機拿下來住進機場飯店，沒有電梯是最棘手的部分，所以我們準備要自己把行李扛上樓，不過感謝航空公司員工，人很好，兩位男士提供我們協助，而當我們安頓下來時，已經很晚了，我清楚的記得已經過了午夜（或許接近一點？），而航空公司還是無法保證我們何時可以起飛，，他們說早班飛機（大概早上七點左右）有希望可以飛，但必須等到早上才知道。

還有更累人的事...慈善表演的行程是下午一點開始，那表示我們可能必須直接從機場到表演的場地，當然那根據我們何時起飛，所以為了趕上不確定會飛的早班飛機，我們必須大概在五點左右前往機場，確保趕的上...所以我早上4:30起床準備，然後等...等...還是等...哈哈，在等待的期間，飯店員工打給我和敲我的門大概4、5次，問我是否尚未退房，是否需要管家服務，我都回答：『不用了，謝謝』。有個人企圖打開我的房門，我被嚇到了！當我等著班機的通知時，我昏昏沈沈的打了瞌睡，但我通常都睡不沈，當我聽到門外有人我馬上會醒來，然後我聽到一個輕輕的敲擊聲，在我來得及反應之前，我聽到『嗶』的聲音，那表示有人用鑰匙卡試著要開門！我跳起來驚慌的說：『是誰？裡面有人』，而他問我一樣的事情，我是否還沒退房結帳！＠~＠有另一個人站在門外一會兒，因為我注意到門下的陰影，我知道有人站在那裡...所以我躡手躡腳的走去從窺視孔看是否是CPM，但是是一位飯店的男性員工...他站在那裡，而有位女性走向他說：『裡面的人還沒退房...』而他說：『喔是嗎？』和『你確定嗎』然後他敲我的門...我說：『是哪位？』然後他竟然跑掉了！像個小孩，到處跑，knicker-knocking之類的！（knicker-knocking是小孩愚蠢的遊戲，敲門然後在有人來回應之前跑掉）那的確很搞笑，但當然了那時我很累又很煩躁，『不要煩』沒有特別的意思，而且從4:30起床一直等擔心是否能即時趕上活動！

最後我們等到幾乎要11點，他們通知我們說可以起飛了，所以時間很緊迫，我們很擔心無法趕上活動，因為依然是預定下午1點開始，所以我們一下飛機就必須直接趕往活動，直接上台表演...而表演完之後，我們必須馬上回機場要趕上往深圳的飛機，我現在所在的地方！

恩，現在很晚了，我也非常累...但在我結束前，我想對你們舞林大會的鼓勵及評論說聲謝謝，我真的很希望可以進級，但因為我們是在宣傳行程中，我不確定我有時間！我猜最好是希望有足夠的人投給我，那我就可以參加準決賽或決賽，甚至就算我們無法參加下一輪！所以如果你們想看到我參加比賽，請表現你們的支持！我真的很希望可以參加，我甚至開始做白日夢，下次我會學什麼樣的舞蹈或是我自己愚蠢的點子！好了好了，我要為明天作準備了...大家晚安！有個好夢以及明天有個快樂的一天！希望可見到你們，深圳的歌迷...！
