Here is much cooler on the mountains so you can see the street vendors sells accessories to keep you warm.

Here we are...my reward for myself.... a clay spa treatment for my feet. 


Photobucket
I am waiting for the clay to turn WHITE and then I can wash it off in the HOT HOT HOT water. 


Photobucket
You can tell how hot it is by the steam.



Photobucket
Everyone enjoys a dip or two! ^^


Off we go for an energy packed lunch... I thought we are going to eat steak, roasted chicken, cheese fondue, or even burgers.....to replenish ourselves. ... but the truth is:.....

Photobucket
The candles are there for keeping flies away, not for a romantic purpose. lol 


Photobucket
I can't quite get used to the taste of west Java and had to run to Starbucks for scones and latte later at night. lol. 


After lunch, kids play at Kid Jones Park! Niel, Abby and Ilona love all sorts of flying fox and seem can't get enough of that.

Photobucket
Go, little rangers!!


Photobucket
Niel looks like a real "superman" there... ^^


Photobucket
This is such an unforgettable experience for Abby. 


Photobucket
Even Ilona is not afraid of flying fox!


Photobucket
Go, go, go, Niel!


I even ride flying fox (for adult) w/ Ilona before we are off for dinner!


We then had dinner at Paris Von Java Shopping Center which is quite a nice place to shop and dine!

Photobucket
Irina handmade dolls.


Photobucket
Some Indonesia ethnic fabric made bags. 


Photobucket
Yes, I bought some bags and belts.... for souvenirs again... to bring something back for my gals! :) 


I thought I would be exhausted by tomorrow w/ such intensive fun packed trip.... but I didn't ^O^. 
Stay tuned for more fun at West of Java!!

Black Swan Part ? - My Gray Swan and the Party!!

Natalie Portman in Movie: Black Swan. (pic. source: Officer trailer from YouTube .com) I have been inspired by Natalie Portman's character in this movie-- Black Swan . She is an awesome actress and I can't wait to see this movie in Nov. I didn't intend to copy everything from her character but the make-ups does seem incredible "Halloween-suitable" to me.  My Halloween theme: 3 kiddos go to trick-or-treat at " Dr. pumpkin Susses ' haunted house". ^O^ More highlight of my creation.... Twilight poster - "eclipse"...haha..  My Gray Swan make-up! I use black eyeliner for the outline of the feather.  Bobbie Brown newest eyeshadow : Black velvet and dab w/ The Body Shop silver-gray eyeshadow for more definition.  I could do better next time for more details on feather!! I also add a fake eye-lashes w/ white dots for more fun and dramatic!! Voila~ my Gray Swan .... w/ Alaia gold lace-up heels! ^^ A full house of ...

Last Steal Before s/s 2010!!

It has been a while since the last time DH and I went out for a DATE!! Well, I guess a real DATE is just too luxury for us having 3 young children and it always needs a special arrangement for it to happen. Ilona won't go to preschool until this fall so hopefully by then, DH and I will have more romantic date-out alone!!! DH's Porsche is manual and I have no problem of driving it too. Thanks to my driving coach back in Taiwan so I can drive both manual and auto-shift cars!! :) I am not so into cars personally!...... IT to me is one kind of transportation means from destination A to destination B. :) Ilona sits pretty cozily at the back seat! Finally there is my Chanel 08' pink crystals brooch. My ODJ. 1. Top:  Dimension Victorian style white shirt dress RUGBY military inspired coat et vous fur coat 2. Bottom: Dolce Vita denim cut-out leggings 3. Shoes:  09' fall Proenza Schouler platform cap toe pump w/ wooden heels 4. Accessory: Chan...

Can't Have Enough of Alexander Wang -- The Skirt n' Coco Duffel Bag!!

My parents came yesterday evening...and yes, my mom did bring over the Chanel classic jumbo I bought for her!!! My heart palpitated so fast after seeing her carrying that THEN-Mine-NOW-HERs bag!! lol  I really love the classic look of Chanel!!! Well, I know you must think that I could either trade or borrow that classic jumbo from her, but I just don't know how to ASK!! So I think I will wait till next spring and see if boutique, NM or SAKs would order Chanel matte black reissue 226 w/ gold hardware!!!!!! Wish me luck then!! Anyway, here is the look of me today!!! I must say it is hard to resist loving Alexander Wang Coco Duffel bag and obviously HE is getting so popular this season. A girl ran to me when we were crossing an intersection in SF city today just because she wants to know where did I get the Coco Duffel bag!!!! lol I am glad I had a fur vest on... it gets so chilly in SF city! I am only holding a pair of Alexander Wang's combat black heels... sat...
