Diary 1

　　I found out that good taste doesn't mean only wearing brand name clothes. If we want to keep track of1 the latest fashions, we have to grasp what is in fashion this season and try to make everything coordinate2 — no matter if it's famous brand or not. This way, we can create our own style by wearing the right things. Even though I am crazy for famous  brands, I don't necessarily buy them all. What counts is whether they look good on me or not. Everyone knows that I am into3 Dior's Boston bag, Chanel's No.5, Gucci's bamboo handle, Louis Vuitton's suitcase, Hermes's Kelly bag, Prada's nylon4 bag, Cartier's trinity5 ring, and Tiffany's baby blue case. In spite of that, I always insist that I buy accessories, like sun glasses, necklaces, earrings, make-up bags, etc. After all, I am only twenty-something, and I can't waste money as much as I'd like to.
　　Gosh! I've really grown up! I can even say something rational6 like that. That was very good. After all, being an elegant woman requires not only fashionable clothes, but something coming from within. Someday, I will definitely become an elegant7 woman.

Diary 2

　　Every time when I feel very tired, I always want to go back to school and be a student again. It would be so great even if I could just walk around the campus for a while.
　　I'd like to be in the classroom, stand on the platform8 and write down the answers to my homework on the whiteboard. I'd like to wait in line for lunch at the cafeteria9 with my classmates. I hope to step into the library, and read English books. I'd like to go to the Business Department to see the boy I admire. I'd like to go to my department to discuss with my classmates. I'd like to go into the professor's office to discuss the day's lecture with him. I'd like to go to the women's dormitory for some casual chat and gossip10. I'd like to ...
　　I think I am tired now.
　　Cinderella's party ends.
　　Time to get back to reality. Time to practice dancing.

Diary 3

 

　　I have been occupying myself with concerts, promotion11 and recording. My brain never stops working hard. I know that it's my body's way of helping to relieve my pressure: I am used to thinking of other things when I am trying to focus on a task. Strangely, it not only helps me deal well with my task, it also inspires me to see different perspectives12 on my thoughts.
　　Before graduation, many of the things I wanted to do were forbidden by my parents. After graduation, I suddenly got a license to be an adult. Afterwards, I discussed things with them first, providing them with new ideas and concepts. My parents are the very traditional Asian type. In their opinion13, children become adults as soon as they step into society. In spite of that, they still worry about whether or not their children are doing well. Nevertheless, they always respect their children's decisions.
　　My dream started to grow after I graduated. There are too many things I want to do and too little time to do them. Courage, dreams and fear start to conflict with each other.
　　Ha, it's great if I can be just like a superman.

　我发现真正有品味的人并不一定要穿名牌衣服！如何抓住每一季流行的重点，并且将名牌和非名牌的东西搭配得恰到好处，穿出属于自己的个人风格，才是真正懂得掌握流行，而不是被流行掌握的人！虽然我也很喜欢名牌，不过喜欢并不一定要把它买回家，真正适合自己才是最重要的！大家都知道我很喜欢迪奥的波士顿包、香奈儿5号香水、古驰的竹把拎包、路易·威登的旅行箱、爱马仕的凯莉包、普拉达的尼龙包包、卡地亚的三环戒，还有蒂芬妮的粉蓝色盒子。不过，我还是坚持只买配件，像太阳镜、项链、耳环、化妆包等小东西。毕竟我才20几岁，怎么能随便浪费钱呢！
　　天哪，我真的长大了耶！竟然能够讲出这么理智的话，不错不错！毕竟，想要成为一位真正优雅的女人，光靠名牌来包装外表是不够的，应该是由内而外散发高贵的气质才行！有一天，我一定会成为一名优雅的女人！

每当工作得很累的时候，就会想要重拾书本，做一个单纯的学生！哪怕只是到学校转转，感受一下校园的气氛都好……
　　我想到教室，站在讲台上，在白板上写下习题的答案；我想到自助餐厅，和同学们一起排队买午餐；我想到图书馆，翻阅一本本原文书；我想到商学院，偷看一下我欣赏的那个男生；我想到系馆，跟系里同学一起讨论报告；我想到办公室，跟教授讨论一下今天上课的内容；我想到女生宿舍，跟姐妹们八卦一下；我想……
　　我想我累了！
　　灰姑娘的舞会结束了！
　　梦醒了，该是练舞的时候了！

　　最近忙着演唱会、宣传、录音，脑子却还是不停地转着，我知道那是我身体释放压力的方法——当我专心工作的时候，心里却习惯想着另外一件事。奇怪的是，那不但可以让我把工作做好，还可以让我对另外一件事情产生很多新的看法。
　　毕业前，好多想做的事都会被爸妈否决；毕业后，我好像突然领到大人的执照，反而是我跟他们讨论，给他们新观念和想法。他们是很传统的东方父母，觉得孩子进入社会就是大人了，虽然还是会担心孩子的状况，但却绝对尊重孩子的决定。
　　我的梦想也在毕业后开始奔跑……想做的事情那么多，时间却永远太少太少……勇气、梦想、害怕，开始疯狂吵架。
　　哈！如果我是超人就好了！
