Its saturday night and almost midnight. Just came back from dinner with Amanda. Today really felt like a sunday. Lazy good sunday. But its saturday and im glad, cause that means tomorrow is not monday and i dont have to go to work. yeah!! Came bach late this morning, or early depending on how you see it. Yesterday i went out for dinner, then a drink with a colleague and later dancing to latino music at the rooftop bar of Kokomo. It was really crowded and fun and i also met some swedish friends. I was dancing so much and had a great time. Suddently i saw Oliver! He was there with some other photographers. So the night got even better and we danced until 6 when they closed. Me and the germans went for bbq in the street and then the night was over. Oh i forgot! Im on columbian tv! dancing in the club to latino music=) So today my feet is hurting a lot and i slept long, which was a shame cause the weather is finally really nice again. Today around 35 i think. Anyway i forced myself up with the motovation of scrambled eggs and toast and then i met amanda. We went for some shopping, then for a free drink at a restaurant opening and later trying back home here trying to find something to wear tonight. But turns out im the only one in the mood for going out so im gonna sleep soon. I guess its good for me cause tomorrow i wanna get up pretty early and get some sun energy…

Work is still the same, just a bit more boring because for the moment we’re not busy at all. I guess i should enjoy because in september im probably gonna start study a course, media and communication, and still work full-time.

This thursday i was in the birds nest!!It was amazing and really fun! We saw women’s highjump, javelin, longjump and walking. Really great and probably my first and last olympics..? Closing ceremony is tomorrow and then my baby is coming back home=) Jippi!!

Yesterday was the opening ceremony of Olympics. I was watching it on a big screen in a restaurant with some friends. It was nice but i guess the ceremony is just fun to watch live. For me it was more like a party-killer to see all those countries walking in and it took forever… Anyway, then we went out to song (friday-habit now) for a drink and then to sanlitun. I had new shoes (suppose to be steve madden shoes but from the yashow market and much cheaper=)) and they were killing me so i had to go home after a while. Today i got up at 10.30 to buy my olympic ticket..finally!! Im so happpy! I will be watching athletics the 21st august. Im going with rachel and we will be sitting in one of the corners i think, in a section which is pretty high up. So have your eyes open!! Tomorrow is sunday and i have to go to work..! Yesterday was holiday but as i work for an american project i had to work. We get a new build for testing tomorrow. Thats life! Im happy anyway cause i got my salary, olympic ticket, soon my parents are here and everything is just fine=)

gonatt och sov gott!!!

Beijing is hot!! Today we did a little tour..went to an antique market(my favourite), the new cctv-tower and then tiananmen square and the opera. Not bad for a lazy sunday!

This week has been fast and now its only 5 days to the olympics start!! Friday night was pink party at our new friday club Song. Then we went for 80’s night and i was dancing on the stage of course..=) Yesterday we slept almost all day…and then we went to hooters for burgers. Everyone had birthday of course and the girls we’re singing and dancing on chairs. Then we went to a club to meet up Tricia for a drink, but went home pretty early.

This week i also did some tv-shooting. They were doing a tv-commercial and i was all dressed up in red dress sitting at a table smiling and saying cheers 10 times in a minute. It took almost 6 h so i was pretty tired after a while, as i came straight from my other job. But i was fun and the clothes was really nice..i will put up some pictures later! It’s fun doing some acting, its just all the waiting that is annoying. My “agent” always says it will take 2 hours and then it takes at least 5. At least i know that now=)

Okidoki..so what else is going on? Oliver is moving the the olympic village this week=(, tomorrow is bowling and friday starts Olympics! Hopefully i can buy a ticket this week to the athletics..im so excited!!

Puss!
