Today is an ordinary holiday.

08:30 AM I'm used to taking a brisk walk in the community garden. To me, exercise is a necessity of life. Having an adequate aerobic exercise everyday makes my whole being feel so good!

10:30 A friend from my art circle invited me to his Lisson Gallery. We haven't seen each other in a while. I wonder if I can find my favourite art work today?!

12:00 The weather is particularly good, I decided to stroll around the Bund alone.

14:30 There is also a place where I often miss. The phoenix trees and old houses in the French Concession, streets filled with coffee shops and the atmosphere. This is the most representative place of Shanghai, and one of the reasons why I particularly like Shanghai.

18:30 David came to have family dinner with Catherine and I. Today, I chose a very distinctive New York-style restaurant. The restaurant’s name is called Backstage - it looks interesting. Food and wine are things that I can never resist. Just like this moment, facing the crowded pedestrian street of Nanjing road, no one is lonely. My heart is full and my inner being is calm.

20:30 After finishing a satisfying meal, our family of three returned to our house in Pudong. There is a special sentiment to listening to some old records before bed. These are David's private collections and the spiritual wealth of our family. Life goes in cycles. I am grateful for the gift of life, for every ordinary but beautiful day like today, past, present, and future!
