Woke up super early today and have been sleepy all day. Trying to hold out until it's a good hour to actually knock. Also, go watch Hidden Figures. I'm watching one Oscar nommed film a day. So far I've seen Suicide Squad, Zootopia, 13th, Moonlight, Sully, Kubo and the Two Strings, Fantastic Beasts and Hidden Figures.

2007' "Moshi CUP" long hair competition--- recorded by Shen Ni
It is rainning and hot season in Jiangnan region in July, 2007. 18 Long-hair girls came to Ningbo to attand “Moshi cup” competition. I have been in Zhenhai for 2 times. The first time is to visit Yu Qiao in 2004 and the second time is to be a invited guest in long-hair competition in 2006. Once I meet my friends including Yu Qiao in Zhenhai, I am so happy to hug and chat with them.
The topic of this “Moshi cup” competition is “ lead the beautiful hair style and build the health life”, and the aim is to show the elegant modern women and to improve the people's aesthetically taste.
The preliminary selecting started from June and the final would be hold on 21st July in Moshi Group. Moshi Group was estabished in 1992, it is an axletree manufacturer and grows fast. Now it own hundreds million CNY asset and more than 1600 employees.
By rule, the first step is to measure the length of hair. Wan FENG’s hair is 3.2 meter long and is the longest. Hui-Qin XU’s hair is 2.85 meter long, Ai-Feng XIA’s hair is 2.5 meter long, and mine is 2.79 meter long.
Most of the girls with hairs longer than 2 metres. The acqierement show is very important in this competition. The highest score is 10 and lowest is 8 for hair.
Once the competition begin at 18:30, 18 beautiful girls acted as 18 fairys on the stage. The first step is player self-introduction. I was the No.15 palyer. I went to the stage and said:“ Hello, Ladies and Gentalmen: My name is Ni Shen, I came from Chuzhou, Anhui, at there Xiu Ouyang wrote ZuiWongTingJi. Thanks to Zhenhai News Net and Moshi Guoup. They organized such a great campaign so that I can join. Welcome to Chuzhou.” My words drew the audience applause...
The second step is long-hair show. The girls showed their lovely hair and make people wonderment. I also played my hair as a fairy.
The third step is acqierement show, to test the long-hair girls how they know the life and beauty. The girl not only look good but also acquainted. They tried their best to play and audience clap now and then.
The oldest player, Yuhui Qiao sang Yueju, the youngest one, Di Zhu danced. Wan Feng’s song, Aifeng Xia’s dance, Huiqin Xu’s jumping...the people enjoy all their shows.
I came on the stage with red clothes, the emcee asked me to introduce myself, I answered : just because a Chinese word: Yuan. This word let me come here again. My web name is SiYuan, I remained my hair long both to enjoy myself and to enjoy other people. Long-hair is a special culture...I made friends by long-hair, I showed on the stage because long-hair, my life became colourful because long-hair, I will get a better future because long-hair. I read a poem, Yuan Wei Mei to express my mood. My poem infused the people there.
The audience clapped for me. I untied my hairpin and my braid appeared. I wish everybody here live a colourful life. The emcee announced that the No.15 player’s score is 91.29., which is the only one that higher than 90. The people clapped again and I thanked them.
At the end , Wan Feng was No.2 with a score of 87.40. Ten girls won the Dongfangxianzi Prize, they are Ni Shen, Wan Feng, Aifeng Xia, Xia Su, Hui Ding, Shuxiang Shen, Ying Yan, Huiqin Xu, Xiaolan Liu, Di Zhu. TWeimeixiufa Prize: Dujuan Wang, Tingting Luo, Zhaoxia Qiao, liyu Zhang, Mengdie Chen, Jian Cai, Yuhui Qiao, Lu Zhang. The General Manager award me the prize and said to me: Mrs Shen, welcome to Moshi Group and nice to meet you. You beautiful show impressed us. Welcome you visit our company again. Long-hair sisters come and have pictures taken together. Cheers.
This long-hair competition provided us a communicate and show opportunity, developed long-hair culture. The happy time is always too short,. Thanks to beautiful long-hair, thanks to internet, thanks to Zhenhai, thanks to all people who worked for this activity. We look forward to next meet.
Mucking around with my cousins - I eventually brave the trampoline but I am nowhere near as gymnastic as them (and I gravely fear the double-bounce).

As you can see... no baby yet...
What a week! It really has been crazy. So I went for my ECV (baby turning) on Friday, and all I can say is OUCH! Well, I can say more (and of course I will)! We got there at 8 in the morning, felt strange being there so early, the sun wasn't even up properly yet :s Anyway, as soon as we got to the delivery sweet we were told that they were under staffed and we might not be seen, to go sit in the (dull and dank) mothers room, if we're not seen within two hours to come down and tell someone, GREAT! In fact we only sat in there for about twenty minutes when the sweetest midwife came and rescued us from that manky room. She showed me to a bed and hooked me up to all sorts of monitors. After that we still had to wait ages for the consultant to come see us (can you believe this is the short version of the story).
When he did come, he brought his troops with him, seriously! He brought, himself (obviously) his assistant, a trainee consultant, another doc (not sure what she was a doctor in) AND a trainee midwife. The next part was really horrid :'( The consultant and his assistant lowered my bed, stood over me and manipulated my tummy and Apple Pip into positions that just didn't feel natural to either of us and the pain!!! Woh! If you walked past the room you would've thought I was in labour, so much pressure put on us. And I hear you ask how I knew Apple Pip didn't like it, well she kept slipping out of their grip and placing herself snuggly in her normal position.
SO.... I've now been booked in for a c-section on the 16th :) At least we know when we'll meet our baby girl now, and we are so ready for her let me tell you!
The next day Mum and Julie asked me round for tea.. Well, they were actually throwing me a suprise baby shower! Now baby showers aren't a typical English thing, but my aunty in America really wanted me to have one, so between her, Julie, my mum and my chums they through an amazing shower for me! I was totally overwhelmed by all (well most) of all the lovely woman in my life doing this for me and the presents... WOW!! Apple Pip, you are one spoilt little lady! :) I can't wait to see her play with/wear/use etc all the gorgeous things everyone got her!
THEN.... my mum had an op on her eye on Monday :( scary, but she did great and is healing really well. It's a long story why she had to have the op, but let me just say it's v important coz otherwise she'll end up totally blind. So one eye done, one to go!
Yeah, other then that I've been doing more washing (of AP's clothes and bedding of course), not sleeping, seeing friends for the last time before becoming a mamma, oh I forgot, also saw my friends baby on Tuesday for the first time and he is GORGEOUS!!!!! Ten days old and perfect! They're both doing well and starting to settle into life together :)
What a rant! sorry all! Well, only 12 days to go (if not sooner), therefore one more offical weekly shot and one that I'll do before going in to meet my baby girl!
Happy Thursday everyone!

The flowers I found abandoned in the botanical garden a few weeks prior. Still fresh and pretty and today with bokeh in the back.
We need more Ambers in the world!
Amber was sitting in the window seat of MacDonalds with her friend enjoying an early lunch. I spotted her from the other side of the road and nearly got myself killed crossing over to get to her.
We had a full conversation through the glass with me asking if I could take her photo etc. Amber was happy to oblige (as her friend rolled her eyes) Apparently she attracts a fair bit of attention wherever she goes :) :)
Amber describes her style as 'vintage' and gets most of her gear from charity shops and 'Ding Dong Vintage' in Durham where she works. She hopes to go to London soon to study styling production as she'd love to work for fashion magazines.
I thought she was totally fabulous. Bright, colourful, stylish, confident, beautiful and unique - and I told her so (as her friend rolled her eyes again. I think she's heard it said many times before :D)
Amber is #38 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page
