I went on a dinner date with one of my girl friends since I happened to be in shanghai and just before she goes for a business trip. I was very looking forward to re visit an Italian restaurant that I went last year with my darling called scarpetta, but it turned that they were renovating at the moment. We went to a tapa restaurant Ina very small lane instead. It’s a very cute restaurant called Elefante. Very good ambience with outdoor and indoor seating. The logo of the restaurant is a very cute elephant. We didn’t order much as it was only two of us and we had few drink in the other place already. The food is quite there, especially the entree. However the risotto was a bit too creamy, and the tiramisu…… Looks nice, but nothing taste like. One thing worth saying is their sangria is really nice~ not too strong not too weak, just right amount of fruit and ice, very smooth and refreshing. And it looks very pretty too, perfect for a summer night like this. Oh well, it should have been autumn now, but it still feels like summer. Girls are still wearing short skirt, the breeze still carries a taste of summer, and of cause the mosquito is still out there, everywhere.

It was such a good catch up that we just talked, hours and hours. Somehow I just feel like write something, to memories it, to write down the feeling I have right now, to memories the old times that we have been spend together. So I did, in the middle of night. In Chinese, because I found it hard to express it in English, maybe I can, but it just feels different.
今天一路坐着地铁站去赴约，看着地铁里熙熙攘攘的人群，突然觉得回到了那些年读书的时候。常常站在地铁里听着耳机里的音乐看着人来人往仿佛置身事外。 出了地铁让我稍稍有些走失的感觉，一切看起来有点熟悉，可我又不太确定自己在哪，要往哪里走。上海这座城市果真就这么不知不觉无声无息的变了样。好在即便它变得面目全非了，还是有你熟悉的面孔，走几条街，转个身，过个弯也许就会遇见。我们在新天地的一家bistro bar坐下来，点了杯香槟汽酒。女朋友看上去气色很好，很健康。她说我看上去也很好，很美，让她忍不住想要赞美我几句。我们聊的话题也天南地北的，从工作，生活到感情， 从过去到现在，从自己到一些身边的人身边的事。说真的，我很喜欢她现在的心境。一种随遇而安的睿智，享受一个人的生活，坦然的面对遇到的每一个人每一件事情，不骄不躁，不慌不忙。我说，我很喜欢自己现在的生活，很庆幸身边有个人呵护宠爱着，只是有的时候会很羡慕单身的那种状态，自由自在。但是现在的我，却过太习惯两个人的生活了，习惯有人陪，习惯问对方的意见，习惯和他分享。不管怎样都好，我觉得，不同时间的自己如果懂得珍惜现有，有一份幸福的心境，无论一个人还是两个人都是快乐的，满足的。
上海这座城市似乎有着无穷无惊的惊喜，每次回来的时候总能发现写新奇的东西。这次吃饭的餐厅在一个小巷子里。感觉像是一座老房子。庭院里种满了树，风吹过的时候有着哗哗的声音。复式的洋房总让人觉得很怀旧，仿佛这里承载着许多故事。偏偏这里开的是一家地中海特色的餐厅，烛光下有一种特有的异国风情。不知不觉，餐厅里的人渐减少了，才发现聊天忘了时间。买了单走出巷子，拥抱道别。原本是要各自叫出租车回家的我们等了老半天都找不到空车。 女朋友说，上海的出租车就是这么难叫，打趣的说她现在都有一种进入备战状态的焦虑了。好不容易有辆空车经过，我们决定一起上车。送女朋友回家后，车子一路奔驰。路边的那些霓虹折在车窗上飞过，五颜六色的，很漂亮。在这座不夜城里的我们就像那些霓虹一般绚烂着，过着属于我们的五彩人生，因为有你有我。
