GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY.
Anyway, birthday happy.
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.
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.
生日快乐！
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!
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.

Learn too much from your site. Good luck!
嗯希望你不会介意。。 这帖子的标题少了个H
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.
I hope you had a great day yesterday, congratulations !
You are lucky to have Wendy, so thoughtful of her to give you that cake ;-)
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.
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.
May happy surround you.
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.
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!

I will have a look around your site-cheers!
