Nädal möödus välgukiirusel ning blogis on märgatav auk tekkinud!
Esmaspäeval valmistusin eksamiks, teisipäeval käisin teisel foto-klubi miitingul ja tegin üleüldse grupiga tutvust ning peale seda lendasin lauluproovi. Just, kasutasin võimalust uuesti laulmisega tegelemiseks ning olen vocal coach'i hoole all nüüd ja juba teisipäeval on mul esinemine Culture Day raames. Laul on hiina keeles, nii et natuke närviliseks teeb küll, eriti kuna ma esinen... hiinlaste ees! Vähemalt pole ma üksi - laulame vocal team'iga neljakesi (kuigi kõigil meil on omad soolod) ja meid saadab koor... Kõik meenutab pisut seda sarja Glee'd, nii et ma olen üsna elevil!
Suurema osa nädalast olin haige, nii et kolmapäeva ja neljapäeva veetsin peamiselt horisontaalis voodis... lugedes, magades, õppides või hiina telesaateid vaadates. Arsti juures käisin ka, kes kirjutas mulle mingid kanged rohud välja, nii et paari päevaga sain palaviku alla.
Reedel oli taas lauluproov ning seejärel pidin Pudongi piirkonda ruttama... Muidugi läksin liiga hilja kodunt välja, aga mul vedas ja üks uus sõber möödus parajasti rolleriga ja pakkus küüti. Muidugi olin nõus ja muidugi on Shanghai tänavatel rolleriga kihutamine kohutavalt äge ja sain mõnusa adrenaliinilaksu! Pudongil sain kokku Rebeka ja Dorottyaga ning alustasime Rebeka kleidi pildistamisega. Tegemist on üsna tähelepanuväärse kleidiga, seega tõmbasime endale korralikult tähelepanu ja kogu meie aktsiooni saatis hunnik vaimustunult pilte klõpsiv seltskond kohalikke.
Pildistamisega ühel pool, plaanisin veeta rahuliku õhtu kodus, kuid hetkeajendil läksin paari klassikaaslasega hoopis kooli kõrval asuvasse baari Perry's, kus tutvusin paari Taanis õppiva hollandlasega. Ühel hetkel otsustasime kõik minna KTV'sse, mis on ulmeliselt suur karaokebaar. 'Karaokebaar' on tegelikult pisut labane nimi sellele kohale, sest KTV uksest sisse astudes jõudsime hiiglaslikku peeglite ja lilledega dekoreeritud fuajeesse koos receptioniga. Seal broneerisime endale karaokeruumi ning üks teenindajatest juhatas meid järgmisesse koridori, mis oli kui suur labürint, kuniks jõudsime oma ruumini. Otseloomulikult oli seal hiiglaslik ekraan ja mikrofonid ning me kõik laulsime like no tomorrow, mis oli tegelikult kohutavalt naljakas.
Needless to say, aga terve laupäeva olen ma olnud üsna väsinud ja pisut laisklemist lubanud, sest juba homme ootab mind ees Halloweeni kostüümi jahtimine ja lauluproov ja kodused tööd!

This week passed by so fast and of course, there's a decent hole in my blogposts!
On Monday I was preparing for exams, on Tuesday I had the second meeting with the photography club and just in general got a better chance to get to meet the people there. Afterwards I had singing practice - that's right, I'm back to singing! I have a vocal coach and already on Tuesday I will be performing at a huge stage for the Culture Day. Since the song is in Chinese and my audience is Chinese... well, it makes me a bit nervous, since I'm worried of my pronounciation, but atleast I have other vocal team members & a whole choir with me, so it's gonna be fine. The whole thing actually reminds me of the TV show 'Glee', which I really loved back in high school, so needless to say, I'm excited!
I was sick the whole week, so I had to take some time out on Wednesday and Thursday and spent most of the time just sleeping, reading, studying or watching Chinese television. I even went to a doctor, who prescribed me something really strong, so I was able to lower my fever during these two days.
On Friday I was up and on the run again, went to class, has the rehearsal for the concert and afterwards I had to get to Pudong. Since I was running a bit late and a friend of mine on a moped was passing me by, I really didn't hesitate when I accepted his offer to give me a lift. That was my first time riding a moped on the streets of Shanghai and it was super awesome! Deffinetly gave ma rush of adrenaline!
I met up with Rebeka and Dorottya on Pudong and I took photos of Rebeka's dress. Since the piece is pretty remarkable, a decent crowd of locals gathered around us and took photos of our photoshoot.
Altough I had a nice plan of just taking it easy on after the photoshoot and have a cozy Friday night at home, somehow I ended up at Perry's with my classmates, met some Dutch people, who actually study in Denmark aswell and we all headed to the karaokebar - the KTV. Calling KTV a 'karaokebar' is a bit deceivign atually, since it's deffinetly not the kind of a karaokebar a westerner would imagine in the first place. Enter a KTV and you will find yourself in a huge hall decorated with mirrors and flowers, book a karaokebox and a guide will lead you through maze-like corridors until you make it to your box. Of course, there is a huge screen and some microphones there and well... sing your lungs out! That is exactly what we did and it was superfunny.
Well, after a week like this, I was just really tired and lazy the whole Saturday. Which is kind of okay, because a busy Sunday full of Halloween costume hunting, a singing rehearsal and some homework!
Vahel on õhusaastatuse tase väga kõrgel ning see on lausa silmaga nähtav.

On some days, the pollution level is really high and you can actually see it.
