Posted by: Sekhar Sirigiri on October 18, 2004 10:58 AMTotally unexpected, you are 1 year and 3 days younger than me and you're already married for 1(?) year. Why so hurry?
Anyway, birthday happy.
Posted by: Roosevelt on October 18, 2004 12:26 PMCongratulations Jian Shuo.
Hope you will enjoy your birthday. I've been reading here for almost a year now. Soon I will visit Shanghai to do a course in Mandarin.
To Roosevelt: 27 is young to be married? In my country (Netherlands) I know there's quite a lot of difference in the time people marry. Some people I know already married around 21/22, others didn't marry yet at 30.
Personally I think 24,25 might still be a bit young. But if people choose to marry at that age I can understand quite well.
Posted by: CyeZ (external link) on October 18, 2004 12:46 PMThanks everyone (eddieliu, bigbro, Sekhar Sirigiri, Carroll, Roosevelt and CyeZ) for your "happy birthday greetings". I just had a great lunch myself at Xintiandi since now I work near it.
To Roosevelt: I guess no one is really ready for a marriage until he/she think it is the time from deep of his/her heart. People may worry about the marriage because there is still uncertainty. But one day, both of the couple in love may feel the strongest urge to step into the marriage, and it is the time to do it. Age is not a indicator for marriage - the feeling is.
Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on October 18, 2004 2:43 PM10月18日，今天上海街头结婚的彩车好多，那么讨喜的日子竟也是你的生日啊！在这喜气洋洋的日子里，祝你身体健康，幸福快乐！
The 18th of Augest is a date on which many young Shanghaineses get married for its good meaning.I saw many trails of wedding cars riding on the Shanghai streets today.Unexpectedly,it is your birthday!
On this cheery day,I gave my best wishes to you:
Hope you are in the health condition and enjoy your happy life!
happy birthday! thank you for your wonderful blog.

At age of 27, you may content the achievment of your career, your love ones and all the things you currently possess and enjoy,but this is not the pinnacle of your life, to enjoy your career fully, you should consider post-graduate education to enhance you skill for the balance 30 years to come. Competition will be much fierce if you don't have the right tools, it is true in this ever changing environment.
At any rate, happy birthday to you and enjoy your cake with your love ones.

Posted by: Stephen on October 18, 2004 11:17 PMHappy your 27th. birthday!
Learn too much from your site. Good luck!
Thanks everyone. Fei, I have updated the title to add the missing H.
Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on October 19, 2004 12:12 AMBTW, isn't it so surprising to know that I am "only" 27? The biggest trouble is my face looks younger than my real age. Some people guess I am still in universities..... so I need more time to convinence people of the 6 year experience I have in IT company.
Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on October 19, 2004 12:17 AMHi JS,
Hope you had a great b-day, the cake looks delicious....so what flavor is it?
I read in Wendy's website a blog she wrote about what she hopes to accomplish before she turns 30. I was very interested in reading it, unfortunately my Chinese is horrible, and could only understand little bit. I was wondering if you also have a list of things you like to accomplish before 30. Also if its not too much trouble, if you or her could translate that piece in English. I tried using a web translator, but it didn't work very well.
Happy b-day again, may the year ahead bring you even more happiness and success both personally and professionally.
Happy Birthday Jian Shuo! May your next year be full of blessings!
Posted by: William C on October 19, 2004 6:47 AMI saw the hot news of your birthday this morning, Jianshuo.
I hope you had a great day yesterday, congratulations !
You are lucky to have Wendy, so thoughtful of her to give you that cake ;-)
Hey, JS! HAPPY HAPPY 27th BIRTHDAY! May you have more birthdays to come! :-)
Posted by: earthmilk (external link) on October 19, 2004 7:24 AMHappy Birthday Jianshuo!
I've been an avid reader of your blog for about 6 months now. I think it's a great resource for people interested in Shanghai. I was actually living in SH all of last year. Reading your blog brings back a lot of pleasant memories...
If only I knew you back then, we could have metup for coffee at the Mei Luo Cheng Starbucks. :) All the best from Los Angeles, CA.
Posted by: Gary on October 19, 2004 8:06 AMHappy Birthday!
This is the first time I happened to surf into your website. It is an interesting site, and I am sure I will visit it again soon.
Yep! That's really a great happy!
May happy surround you.
Hi JL- wld you mind letting me know which date's blog (of Wendy's) are you referring to? I cld try to translate, but i can't seem to find any such blogs at Wendy's site after a look at the Sept & Oct entries. What catches my eye though are:
1) the 2 cats playing outside Wendy and JS' house
2) Wendy's 13 Oct entry, which i find very interesting but i don't really understand (very mind-boggling indeed).. the "conversations" are a little confusing.
Thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks.... thanks for everyone's wishes. Thank you and I am so happy to have a network of great readers. :-D
Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on October 20, 2004 12:12 AMThanks Fei, that is so kind of you. The particular entry I was referring to is on June 13th. I believe the title is called Dreams for turning 30??
Since my reading comprehension of Chinese is very limited, most of the time I can only figure out the topic she's discussing, but not the details. So I know that she has many interesting topics :-) Unfortunately for me I can't even figure out the topic for the Oct 13th entry :-(
thanks again Fei!
Posted by: JL on October 20, 2004 12:20 AMHappy Birthday from New York City! It happens that we are on the same birthday. I occasionaly browse your blog, good site.
Posted by: Xinyu Li on October 21, 2004 4:05 AMHappy birthday! You really don't look like 27 years old!
