Too Wild for Saturday Piano Recital ?
This is a busy Saturday. My younger son has piano recital and older son has soccer tournament. My 17-year-old son can take care of himself. But I still need to make my 9-year-old to brush his teeth, wash his face, put on his dressy outfit, practice his piano one last time and eat something before going to the recital hall. I don't have much time to dress myself. It's raining outside. I grabbed this leather jacket. Now look at my picture, it looked a little bit too wild for piano recital. I should have wear something soft.
Casual Friday: Embroidered Jean
Wearing blue jean to work always makes me feel too casual. I put on a suit jacket to make it less casual.
Stone Necklaces from Brazil
When I look at this picture now, it looks very much like 50's style to me, big hair, polka dot swing dress and shoulder pad.
The necklaces were bought at Copacabana Beach, Rio De Janeiro Brazil. Each necklace has only one stone. I bought four necklaces. I wore three of them in this picture to match my outfit colors.
This is a picture of me taken at Rio De Janerio in June 2010:
Long Lace Skirt
Lace is very popular now on the run way. I bought this lace skirt many years ago. It's hard to tell the skirt is made of lace because the black lining.I am thinking about the ways to modernize this skirt. Maybe change the lining to nude color and shorten the skirt?

Day 3 in Bali (2)
Had famous dirty duck for lunch
It's a open air restaurant in the middle of rice field.
Coffee and coco plantation
Tasted Luwak Coffee
Luwak coffee is known as the most expensive coffee in the world because of the way the beans are processed and the limited supply. The luwak is an Asian palm civet, which looks like a cross between a cat and a ferret. The civet climbs the coffee trees to find the best berries, eats them, and eventually the complete bean emerges in its stool. Coffee farmers then harvest the civet droppings and take the beans to a processing plant. Luwak coffee is produced mainly on the islands of Sumatra, Java, Bali and Sulawesi in the Indonesian archipelago, and also in the Philippines

Day 2 in Bali
My husband and my two sons went to Nusa Lembongan Resort for marine sports: banana boat, snorkeling, jet ski ...
I went to shopping at Kuta Center.
It seems that my 9-year-old son likes our hotel pool better than open sea.
Had dinner at a Chinese Seafood Restaurant. The dinner cost is over 3 million Indonesian Rupiah. That's about US $350. In low cost Indonesia, that's a ridiculously high price.
