❤ 女人30: 下篇 ♡ I 'm Officially 30: Part II ❤

生日后的第2天是星期天,我佬说我们必须到他母亲家去取回之前拿去洗的衣物;
于是我们就带着手推车出门~~

到鸟他母亲家,一开门,他母亲就给我一个大抱抱和一句“Joyeux anniversaire”(法语“生日快乐”);
踏入客厅,看到他妹妹和妹夫、外甥和外甥女、表弟表妹和好友Loïc都在,并不约而同地送上一句:“Joyeux anniversaire!!”
我佬说当他提出要为我庆生时,大家都很踊跃地参与~~
他还问我:“你该不会真的以为我们来这里就只是取回洗净的衣服然后直接回家吗??”
(我是真的以为是酱的!!)

The next day after my b'day was Sunday, darling said we have to take back our clothes which he sent to his mum 's place for laundry.
So we brought the trolley & left for his mum 's place.

Once we arrived, I received a warm hug & greeted by his mum, Hélène with "Joyeux anniversaire" (which means "Happy B'day" in French);
I was surprised while I stepped into her living room - Anne & Jonathan (darling 's sis & bro-in-law) & their kids, Thomas & Marie (darling 's cousins) & Loïc 're here & greeted me with "Joyeux anniversaire"~~
Darling said when he proposed to celebrate my b'day, everyone wanna join~~
He also said to me:"Did you really think that we 're juz come here for the laundry & then go home like nothing??"
(Me, yeah....)

在他母亲家度过鸟一个愉快的周末~~
和他的亲人好友吃喝玩乐;
还收到生日礼物~~

女人30是人生中一大转折点。
我却希望自己能忘却岁月的无情催化和在这个年龄的女性该背负的责任;
继续享受年轻女性般的生活~~

The age of 30 is a significant change for women 's life~~
I juz wish I could ignore the cruel fact of aging & the responsibilities I should have to carry as a woman in 30;
& continue enjoy the life like a young girl~~

❤ 女人30: 上篇 ♡ I 'm Officially 30: Part I ❤

对于女人来说,年龄简直就是头号天敌;
所以尽管我的3张生日很‘识时务’的落在星期六假日,我还是打算低调地度过算鸟。
但是在我生日前夕,我佬说30岁是人生大事,应该邀请朋友庆祝一番~~
于是我就临时临急策划生日晚餐,邀请一些平时要好的同学出席。

生日早上,打个电话回家感谢妈妈生我这粒鸟蛋下来并让我吃到30岁~~

吃午餐时,我佬突然拿出一个漂亮的小包裹,里面有一个小盒子~~
感动死~~

Age is 1 of the biggest enemy of female.
That is the reason I was planning to pass my 30th b'day w/o any celebration in the 1st place, although it was falling on Saturday.
But on my b'day eve, darling suggested that I should celebrate it with friends for celebrate this significant event.
So I invited some of my classmates to attend my b'day dinner, which planned in sudden.

In the morning of my b'day, calling home & thanked my mum for delivering me to tis world & made my life w/o huge troubles in these 30 yrs~~

During the lunch, darling suddenly took out a beautiful little parcel, inside thr 's a box~~
Awww~~
TQ darling~~



傍晚,准备和友人会合。
除鸟身在马耳他的マリア和生病的彩优,都只能透过面子书祝贺我之外;
美兰、小遥和惠仁都会出席~~
她们3人都住在附近的同一栋学生公寓内,离我家不到8分钟的步行路程;
所以晚餐地点就定在Quai d'Ivry左岸的布列塔尼餐厅“La Compagnie des Crêpes Rive Gauche”,从我们家走路20分钟左右抵达~~

In the evening, prepared to meet the others for the dinner~~
Except for Maria who is currently travelling in Malta, & Ayu was sick, so they only able to wish me thru FB;
Miran, Haruka & Hyein 're in the list.

So the dinner took place in Rive Gauche Quai d'Ivry, a restaurant named "La Compagnie des Crêpes Rive Gauche", main in Breton cuisine;
Around 20 minutes walking distance from our places.




我佬请大家喝鸟两支布列塔尼苹果酒;
甜甜的苹果酒,当然大受美眉们欢迎~~

而她们就匆忙地准备礼物送我,感动死我~~

❤ 秋高气爽 ♡ What a Lovely Weather ❤

不知不觉来到鸟十月~~

上完工作坊后,有人提议到Châtelet去逛街;
于是我们4人:美兰、Kiki、彩优和我就到Opéra站去搭地铁。
结果竟然在那里被几个少年扒手给盯上而对我的背包下手;
幸好其中一个少女还在企图切断我的Navigo Pass时被我和Kiki不约而同发现;
一伙人见失手马上转身落跑,Kiki本来还想追上去,但被我阻止鸟(因为那个少女手上有刀子、而且我也没有任何损失;根本没必要为他们弄脏双手,受伤的话就更不值得)。

乘搭地铁到Châtelet站,开始在Les Halles的服装店和鞋店一家家逛。
当然,价钱....很美;
而我们只是学生....
所以,真的、真的只是逛逛街、翻翻看,鞋子也是斋试爽罢鸟啦~~

接下来我们到户外去,一路走到St-Eustache教堂外,再走入商店林立的巴黎中心。

Welcome to October~~

After the workshop, someone suggested to go for a WINDOW SHOPPING (I emphasized it coz we didn't wanna spend $$ lah) in Châtelet district;
So 4 of us - Miran, Kiki, Ayu & me headed to Opéra Métro.
There I encountered some teenagers pickpockets who tried to steal my belongings from my backpack.
B4 they able to steal anything & while 1 of the teenager gal was attempting to cut the strap of my Navigo Pass, both Kiki & me discovered it;
They turned & fleed away immediately, Kiki intended to chase them but I stopped him coz I saw gal who attempted to cut off my Navigo Pass has a knife in her hand, some more nothing has been stolen.

We arrived in Châtelet station by Métro;
& started browsing the boutiques & shoe shops in Les Halles.
Of coz, the price of the goods 're so.... beautiful, & we 're juz students....
So we were really limited to WINDOW SHOPPING & trying some shoes.

Soon we went outdoor & browsed some souvenir shops.
We walked along the way to the magnificent church, Église St-Eustache, down to the shopping district in the center of Paris~~



阳光和煦、蓝天白云,天气好得没话说;
我们脱下外套,漫步在街道上~~
在购物名街Étienne Marcel大街逛鸟一圈回到教堂外,我们到La Pointe Saint Eustache的露天咖啡座坐下,喝杯下午茶~~

The weather was such a delight.
We took off our coat, enjoyed the mild sunlight & the walk under the beautiful blue sky~~
After we turned 1 round in Rue Étienne Marcel & back in front the church, we sat down in a terrace café named La Pointe Saint Eustache to have some drinks~~



话说,Café Long真的苦到哭....我果然不是喝咖啡的料。

当我们开始轮流在彩优的笔记本上画画时,我们就一直狂笑不止;
因为有些图画得实在是有点那个....后现代主义?? ((o(>▽<)o))
我想那时在露天开啡座应该有很多人在看着我们(笑到抽筋的)这一桌吧~~

为鸟可以让女生们回家路上一路平安、也为鸟不让我佬担心;
我们就结束这一天的逛街(真的只有逛逛看看啦,就算想败家也有心无力啊),在天色暗下来之前回到地铁站各自乘搭地铁回家~~

Btw the Café Long was too bitter for me.... Ugh, I 'm not a coffee person seriously.

We were having funny time & laughed alot when we started to draw on Ayu 's notebook & some of our drawings were so.... Post-modernism?? ((o(>▽<)o))
I think the all the customers on the terrace were looking @ us & wondering what made us laugh our heads off~~

In order for us galz to return home in safe conditions & prevent the worriness of darling;
We ended our WINDOW SHOPPING (see, we didn't even spend 0.01 € in those shops.... except for drinks) outing & proceed to Métro station b4 the sky getting dark~~
