[My Weekender] with Carrie Fang
The typical weekend of Shanghai royalty with Carrie Fang - Apr 11, 08
Carrie Fang is one of the owners of ESSE model management agency. She's also been crowned "Miss Sugar 2008."
Friday:
I'm getting married soon and I'm excited for my wedding, but I'm trying to spend more time with my girlfriends before I do. I like dressing up and having drinks and diner with friends, and going out on the town. Tonight, after a nice diner we'll hit Sugar around 11pm. Last week I won the "Miss Sugar 2008" ... what can I say? I would like to thank to Sugar at The Collection for this opportunity ... such as it is. I usually take it easy on Fridays, though, going home early to get a good nights rest and prepare for work and class the next day.
Saturday:
On Saturdays, I do an intensive French class for about six hours because its good for my job to be able to speak French. After class, I rest at home or have a quick salad at Element Fresh. Afterwards I'll go shopping -- my favorite thing to do on a Saturday. Shopping, shopping, and more shopping, and then later on I'll go into the office to work and follow up on how things are running at ESEE. Later on, the phone calls and SMS's start, and I'll meet with my girlfriends during the evening for dinner at a fancy restaurant like Laris. Most likely after dinner we head off to Lounge 18 to meet with some other friends catching up with then, and saying hi to the familiars faces around Shanghai. I think after that we're heading to Volar to see Tomcraft.
Sunday:
Sunday is a day to take it easy, relax and enjoy myself with my family. On Sundays I like to take care of my body and do some exercise to keep fit and in good shape. Afterwards I'll get some brunch with friends, booking a nice table at the Westin Hotel. In the afternoon I meet my boyfriend at the golf course and play for a couple hours then we'll go and get a relaxing massage together. Maybe I'll get a facial too. Around 6pm my family and I will enjoy dinner at South Beauty, booking one if their privates rooms. After diner, I'll go back home have an early night. Maybe I'll watch a DVD or read a book before preparing myself for a full agenda next week.
