Feeling Blue

Jun 012012
 

Remember recently I told you that I hated to wear suits at work when I was working in an office in China? My boss told me that I looked good every time I wore suits, but I thought she just wanted to encourage me to wear suits more often, so I didn’t take it very seriously.  Now that I work as a full time mom, somehow I like this kind of casual yet “normal” suits, and they don’t look as bad as I thought.

In Chinese: 记得前段时间我曾说过, 以前在中国在办公室工作的时候, 最恨穿西装套装了. 每次不得不穿上的时候, 那个女老板就使劲的夸说有多好看多好看, 当时我心想: 你不就想让我经常穿西装套装吗? 呵呵….所以对她的话总是不以为然. 很奇怪的是, 现在是全职妈妈了, 反而对这种休闲式西装套装挺感兴趣, 而且看上去也没有原来自己想的那么坏.

Wore a “red suit” and picked up a pink rose at the restaurant on this Mother’s day, with a cheerful and merry mood.
Happy Mother’s Day!

In Chinese: 母亲节的这天, 带着快乐与感恩的心情, 穿上了一套红装, 在餐馆赠送的玫瑰花篮里选了一枝粉色的玫瑰.

母亲节快乐!

History

Oct 102011
 

Today we celebrated Columbus Day in the U.S.A.  Most of the countries in North and South America also celebrate it [the actual date of Columbus "discovering" the New World was Oct. 12, 1492, but we celebrate on a Monday to enjoy a 3-day weekend].

This morning at the breakfast, Bob was reading the newspaper and suddenly asked me a question:” Do you know what’s important about the date today?” I was confused and looked at his face searching for the answer, “Oct. 10 marks the 100thanniversary of the start of China’s 1911 Xinhai Revolution, which ended 2,000 years of imperial rule!” Ah,,,,now I remember how bad my History course was when I was in the school…

This pair of Dior Sunglasses was my first pair of designer sunglasses I bought about 7 years ago.  Somehow I forgot about it until today, I guess I just don’t have a good memory — I’m glad I finally found a reason for why I was so bad in History course in school.

In Chinese:  今天是美国的哥伦比亚节. 早上在吃早餐的时候, 老公读着报纸, 突然向我发问:” 你知道今天是什么节日吗?” 我一下子蒙了, 瞪着他的脸看试图寻找答案. “今天是中国辛亥革命百年诞辰!! “, 啊 , 现在我记起来我在学校的时候历史有多差劲了.

这副Dior的墨镜是我大概七年前买的第一副名牌墨镜. 也不知是怎么回事, 直到今天才想起有这副墨镜. 看来我的记忆是真的有问题, 不过很开心,总算找到了一个上学时历史差的原因.
