Came home early from M1NT, because we have a tough day tomorrow! Going to have lunch at Xintiandi or somewhere around French Concession with my fellow interns, then later on preparations for my BIG party!!! Wooohoooo.

Ate lots of Aladdin chocolate pieces at the Lucia Party!!! So yummy, then I burnt the calories on the dancefloor at M1NT. And a blogreader said hi to me!!! ^_^ SHOPGIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh by the way, my dear colleague TH created a Shopgirl dance, it’s hilarious, wish I could show you!!!

Can you believe it. Finally!!!!!!!

Tonight: Cotton’s Lucia Party, M1NT

Tomorrow: Preparations for the best party eveeeeeeer at the Barbie Store :-D

Sunday: Launch of my new BLOG URL!!! And I'm officially 22...

All my dear colleagues are in Shanghai flown in from Beijing and Guangzhou. We are going to have an awesome weekend!

The goodiebags for my friends at my pre-dinner, they are heavy ;-)

This bag dear, is for my guests.

My new kitchen (new tiles), going to have a small buffet for my friends at home.

So much things to do as preparation for the Barbie party on Saturday!!!!!

As you all know, I love MUSIC!!! I will be in charge of what songs will be played. When I get home from work today I need to create a playlist. Help me out with good partysongs that you like!

When I get home:

- Create music playlist

- Prepare the gift bags

- Finish up the guestlist

- Work on my new website

I’ll probably skip school tomorrow...

PS. The party is full! But I would still like to invite bloggers of Shanghai. Are you a blogger, email me siyanyu87@hotmail.com.

This fashion magazine had a party tonight at Park97, also known as Muse 3, which I had to attend in order to represent P1.cn - an exclusive members-only social networking platform aimed for the stylish locals.

Free flow champagne, wine, cocktails - I don’t complain. Later on brownies, fruit platters, salmon canapés, mozarella with tomatoes were served for everyone.

Later on clothes from designers such as Martin Margiela, Junya Watanabe were shown by the models.

Met some cool people, especially one girl who called me when I forgot my camera there! Thank you, Barbie (that was her name).

Drinking Orange Juice, promise!

Those photos are from my camera, wait til the professionals ones are out. MUCH better than those amateurish ones, hehe..

Ok, I don’t know if I should laugh or cry...

The girl who was scrubbing said I had a quite nice body, because I had a small waist. And then she lift the towel to my legs, she said: Wow, you’re calves are so big! Why are they so big? If they were smaller you would be closer to perfection.

(No comments)

And then when it was time for the upper body, it was not so pleasant anymore. She touched my chest!!! And the worst thing is that she said, youre chest is a bit swollen and when feeling them I can sense some unevenness. This could lead to breastcancer.

WTF!?!??!?!?!?

And then she said that there are even some young people around 30 who get that, BUT I AM NOT EVEN 23 yet!!!!!!!!!!

:’(           :’(              :’(

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.....................

Then she suggested that I should regulary go and massage my chest. Which I feel really uncomfortable with!!!!!!!!

You already know that HOF is my favourite place, so you know that I can’t stop raving about it!

Here’s the menu and I have dotted the things I have tried out, hehe

What to choose!?!?

My friend had the Orange Mud Cake with sea salt, and it was amaaaaaaazing. And then I took a bite of my Vanilla, Mocha and Praline Delice, and I died... And came to heaven. That is HOW FRIGGIN AMAZING it was. 30 rmb to come to heaven!

(THE cake)

Taking photos of our stuff! Thats what bloggers do all the time...

Anyways, later on we met Bryan, the Singaporean manager of the place and he made us feel so welcoming. He gave us a frozen margaritha that used neutrigens (huh?) that was -180 celsius degrees!! It was that cold, so we couldn’t even touch the glass, and just have to wait til it started to melt. Apparently this drink is not in the menu, but they are going to compete with it in a National Bartender Contest. Afterwards he also let us try their German stollen bread which wasn’t as dry as all the other stollenbread I have eaten, this one was actually good!!! I think Bryan knows that I’m a dedicated customer to Hof haha. My plan is to try out the whole menu :-P, well, at least the chocolate cakes!

THE frozen margaritha (strong, which is just how I like it)

Shanghai Surprise, it sizzles in your mouth :-D

Cicci and her 72% hot dark chocolate

You know what?

There’s nothing better than to enjoy life, which means enjoy good company, good food especially good desserts, and good environment. I experienced this at the Barbie Store tonight.

Thank god for good friends!

3 small pieces of cakes + 1 drink = 45 rmb

Totally affordable! You can choose from white chocolate mousse (my fav), tiny cute cupcakes, chocolate-dipped oreos, lemon tarts, chocolate-dipped marshmallows, etc. My tiramisu latte was pretty awesome, especially the creme on top with candy bites. Yum Yum!

Huaihai Middle Lu 550, near Chengdu Nan Lu, 5th floor

On Nanjing Xi Lu between Jingansi and Portmans.

They are looking for Talk girls! I need a job after NYE!!!!!

When time is around 9pm just outside Carrefour (next to KFC) in Zhongshan Park, the sushi is half price which means you can get GREAT deals!

I love the sushi here, it’s really good and juicy. 13 kuai for my 5 big pieces

Darin - Viva La Vida (the best cover right now)

By the way guys, what do you think of my blog banner?

Only 11 days left til my new blog launch, as a reader pointed out! ;-)

Skinny tip: Leave the noodles :-P

I think my New Years Resolution will be, besides from my small coming project. I am going to write down all my ideas that I suddenly come up with in a beautiful notebook. The ideas concludes of business ideas, design, synopsis, imaginations, etc.

I will tell my readers one, and it's a synopsis.

3 Shanghai girls, 3 dreams.

One girl sells her body as an income to prove to her sick mother that she has a successful job. Another girl lives off from her wealthy boyfriend and lives in a mafia world. And at last a girl who works for a wellknown lawfirm. All those women fight with their morals. Of course those three different destinies will also be linked to eachother in the end...

mwahahahhaha, would you want to read this book?

Oh so creative and so simple to do by yourself (the green paper with the pink bow)

Their sushi rolls are the best. This is Motorola Rolls, one of the best. They were gentle with the avocado and fish pieces. Awesome! Definitely the best sushi rolls that I have ever had!

Fried tofu, it was sooooooo yummy!!! I’m not the biggest fan of tofu but this was seriously awesome!!!

Mackrill, it was supergood and juicy, maybe slightly too salty...but still, the first bite was heaven!

Cho Suba (not sure how to spell), came in on a big bowl of ice, it was OK...I’m not a big fan of noodles so I wasn’t impressed, I rather order in another sushi roll! Because they were the best!

Free dessert, it was OK, satisfying after the meal. 

Love Japanese minimalism!

Make sure you don’t walk into the wrong bathroom though!

I want to go there again just to have a couple of drinks and eat their sushi rolls!

Taojiang Road 28B by Hengshan Road

10 kuai, no sugar or chemicals added. Just pure strawberry and banana. Welcome to Heaven. Found on Wujiang Food Street.

I’m so happy I bought this jacket, it really warms me up!

Btw, all you people who thinks that I am a spoiled brat, I only spend 60 kuai a day! Including a 5km taxiride, lunch and dinner!

For those of you who still haven’t decided what to wear for my Barbie Party...

As a little child I dreamed of being a young adult, not so that I could live by myself or stay up as late as I wanted, but just so I could dress like Barbie.
And it seems that my dreams might soon become a reality! ^_^

Pretty sad how women in China, especially in big cities, are so desperate to find a lifepartner.

Also it’s sad how much money plays a majority part in this circus...

When I marry I wouldn’t mind if we did a prenup. I would also think it would be fair to have separate bank accounts. Meaning I can still buy my Marni shoes (with my own money) !!! ^_^

Picture: The book’s front page says, How to always make your husband spoil you.

Second front page says, Women's main point of life is to find a good partner.

No I didn't buy those books...

Lace top with puff shoulders! Sweeeeet, and you can’t even imagine how much it cost!!! 

Besides this, I bought a winter hat, tanktop and UGGS.

Pssst, I also bought THE dress for my Birthday Party, it’s totally freaky and weird but I kind of like it, haha.

Off to Cantina Agave, the best drinkspot in Shanghai

Ispyshanghai shows his melancholic side...

Dingle likes my lipgloss

Happy Rivals...

Dancing the night away...

I never buy black coffee, I always do mocha or cappuccino because I love sugar.

Anyway, today I bought a Mocha from McCafe (McDonald’s luxury brand), and it was amazingly good! 13 kuai for a small cup (which does hurt for my wallet, but at least cheaper than Starbucks.)

So, why does Starbucks charge much more, except for the brand? Because, at Starbucks you can be a diva. You could simply act like this.

- Hey I would like a Vanilla Latte with less vanilla powder, 50% skimmilk 50% soymilk, oh and decaf on that.

If you are a diva, then go and buy Starbucks. If you are a regular person who just go for the regular coffee, you would simply be satisfied with Cafe 85 or McCafé’s coffee.

But then again, we all want to be divas some times, isn’t that why you read my blog ;-)
