Money thing.

Today i realise that my monthly salary increases a lot lately which i absolutely can afford a decent Louis Vuitton bag. However i'm still not satisfied with the salary now, or let's say how much money will be enough for me in the end, it's a tough question, also endless. I'm so greedy, i want to make a lot of money now! This is my target by the end of this year.

Recently it's real that i'm under lots of pressure, the work, the life, especially the wedding, you know how much it will cost you if you have a wedding in Shanghai? Over 150,000RMB which also depends on how many people you will invite and where to have honey moon,air tickets, brand of diamond ring, special wedding plan, wedding dresses, blah blah blah. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY.

150,000RMB means a lot for young chinese couples, guess how many years they need to work hard and save hard. Mickeal is french, i wish he was chinese so that his parent could help him a little bit at least, but he isn't. The chinese traditon is the groom's family(parents) take care of the house purchase, decro expense, the whole wedding expense, well, yes, all chinese people work hard and save hard for the whole life just for their sons' wedding, what the FCUK. They're not liveing for themselves but for their sons. Just becasue those people lead the wedding way over and over, therefore the wedding expense increases as much fast and high as the rocket, and of course the face thing. Who doesn't wanna deserve a brillant and amazing wedding for once in their whole life?! 

I used to be so tired of the wedding warm up, such as search good hotels, agencies for wedding photograph, wedding plans, etc. One day, i almost wanted to give up, as i really didn't get it why we need to spend so much MONEY&TIME on the wedding. Why can't we just have a small decent causal wedding party? WHY? The answer is i'm chinese, for my family good, for my own good, we just need to do it. 

C'est la vie! sigh

Photoes during National holiday

Holiday, holiday, holiday, holiday means full people everywhere, good for Shanghai tourism, good for Shopping malls, good for restuarants and so on, perhaps also good for theives, lots of targets for them, gaagagaga
We went to Super Brand Mall, what a huge one! But unfortunately i didn't see many super brands, such as Gucci, Dior, Longchamp, but H&M and ZARA, they're okay for me.


What a lovely night view of World Financial Center and Jin Mao Tower! They look great, don't they?

I hate the flash on my face. Can you imagine how slow the driving speed in front of TV pearl tower was at Oct 1st night? Extremly SLOW, we stood there for about 10-15 minutes to take some pictures of the TV tower, we observed that those buses even didn't move on at all though the green traffic light was on again and again. Geez, the traffic jam was just SUPER heavy.

Then some red color caught loads of people's eyes indeed, that was Ferrari. Damn it, what the hell was that red car doing here? I heard your engine, that performance should be good. But look at this photo, if you were the driver, what kinda feeling would you have behind those big and tall buses during such crazy traffic jam? You couldn't move on within 10 meters in 10-15 minutes. I prefer calling you NERD. 

What i got today? Wedding shoes!

Here it is, my wedding shoes. Thank you baby, you always bought me good stuff:)))) Honestly speaking, i can't imagine that i'm getting married so quickly, only 6 months left for get prepared. I got butterflies in my stomach, i mean we will go take wedding photograph in Oct,22. Now i'm still kinda fat, having some acnes on my face, actually i haven't paid too much attention on my keep-fit. But i swear i will make it happen in the next 2 weeks for our own good. Tough time!

Plus, baby also bought one more paire of white shoes for me, i can wear them for working. I never knew that the white shoes looked so good on me:)

Our plant corner in the balcony

It's rarely to have a garden in the downtown of Shanghai, unless i have a villa or live on the first floor perhaps.

In fact, we used to bought a lot plants in IKEA for the decro, however most of them died in one week, so sad. Then i realised that those IKEA plants were protected well and never experienced the hot/cold weather, that's why they die so quickly after they leave their home(IKEA). Same for human being in our life, we will be strong and brave after we go through ups and downs.

Well, back to the point, i bought those plants from the vendors and flower shop which was great, they grow up healthily in our balcony and enjoy the nature well:)
