Just finished Shanghai Baby by Wei Hui yesterday.
It is a very good book, or I just liked her writing style.
Easy to read and the story is intriguing.
Had a new point of view for Shanghai and China.

How I did it: I split 100 to 10 and everytime I wrote 10 of the things that makes me happy. But I think it could be better to have less than 100 and give more detailed explanations or even photos for each subject/item. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I did not eat strict at all, but I ate more healthy. When I wanted other stuff I did not hold myself but ate little porsions. I did 5 exercise moves every morning that gives me also energy for the day, and about 5 or more exercise moves in the evening to make my metabolism work fast at night as well. Read how I did it…
I was in the room with either my brother or friends, there were some people at the door so we suggest we close the door and the guests stay in the living room.
I was going to city with my manager and one more colleague and I feel isn’t it awkward to go back alone with my manager as we will drop the other colleague. We came to a shopping centre, it was rather small. I got upstairs, there were people younger than me. I saw a little guy wandering, I start talking with him then we go to the computer and fill some forms or check something, in a short while I realized a bunch of people waiting in the line to use computer. I log off and made sure I do not leave my user name and password open. In a room, there were christmas equipment that the members of a foundation prepared for something special.
Somewhere in my dream I think there was also him which I enjoy his presence :)
I finished Atlantis by David Gibbins and Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie.
In Atlantis, I can say that there were too many details that distracted me from the main story. And while I was expecting a rather historical and mysterious theme, the story was containing rather action than a ordinary archaological exploring. Anyways I am happy that I read it, every book is a different experience.
Regarding Agatha Christie’s book, the language was very smooth and the story was interesting. It was written with intelligence and I loved the descriptions as the way the people dressed, the way of their character back in the 1980’s or 1970’s. Loved the book overall.
