Yesterday I was telling Herina that it is a pity that she does not read Chinese, cause she misses out great stories by this Chinese writer. I’ve been reading her again lately, since I had to spend lots of time in the hospital waiting room. Translated version is never the same. I admire people who read and actually enjoy the Chinese translations of English stories. For me it takes deep understanding and acute sense of imagination, which I totally lack. I always try to read the original version. That’s a perfect excuse for not reading enough.
For Spanish and Portuguese, i also stick to my principle–since I could just understand so much as reading cartoons, that’s what I just do! I know all about Monica and Cebolinha ![]()
Ok…where am I.
All i want to say is, I enjoy reading again Zhang Ai Ling’s books. I got one from Mira last Sunday, and after I finished it, surprisingly I found another in my study room. I have to buy more before I finish this one.
Today I finally delivered 5 of the evening dress designs to the pattern maker. Me and May.
I have no idea how they are going to look. Will they sell? or will they rot on the hanger?
Kim has big ambition. No, not just ambition. He is totally doing it. He is changing his store in the mall into an office. He is going to gradually discard the current clothes and furnish the store with our designs. He wants to have OUR own designs. He wants to sell them everywhere. The only thing I hope, is not to disappoint him. He recently hired a girl who just graduated from South China Agriculture University to be our assistant. She will follow up our designs. It almost looks too good to be true, while me and May are still tied up in our last-stage school skedules. Well, not so much me, but I’ve got some important personal deeds to finish up too. I really hope things work out because Kim looks like a great boss so far.
Talking about meeting Kim today. It was really not the plan. I was going to get the fabric and pass it to pattern-maker and go home, but he called–:”r u in Zhong Da?”"ya.”"You can use my car to go to sample maker because I am here too. Gime a call when ur done.”"oh..”
oh no.
Tube top, mini skirt, flip-flop, no make-up, didn’t come my hair in 2 days. That’s how I look. Compared to May–Calf-length CK denim skirt, cap-sleeve cotton white blouse, perfect make-up, clean hair, high heels. I’m dead.
So I had to borrow a comb from one of the fabric stores and put on some lip-stick. Was still ashamed to go to the mall. I swear next time I will not walk out of home like this.
