A bag costs from 180000 to 10000 RP

If you have been to Island Bali, you won’t miss Buda Palace. Between watching the dancing show in Buda Palace, and next destination, most tourists would like to go to the traditional market, including hundreds of Chinese People from the big tour bus.

I wonder if local people have been trained by the tourists, shop-keepers will give you a big range about pricing. This is the experience that I have just gone last week. Last Saturday, I was asking the price of a bag in the market. The young lady tried to make me laugh by speaking her poor Chinese and told me RP 180,000 genteelly. RP 180,000? Almost NT$ 600! The price is like the price in Taiwanese bag shops. So I express that I want to leave. Suddenly, she can’t stop saying “how about 100,000? 80,000? 50,000? 10,000? Or just say a price? To be honest, I was losing my interests at that time, and feel crazy. That bag, not really looks pretty anymore after this situation.


From Cheese to Smile--Bali Trip

What will you do when your eyes contact at a stranger? Some people say that people who have more confidence can easily smile at the strangers. Chinese women have been taught that they are not allowed to watch someone directly. Chinese women always want to express their tender and respects by watching down while talking to people.

Even just a glance at some western women, I can easily feel their confidence and pride. Why can I not? Except the culture differences, is it also related to the pride of the race? Is it the reason that we always say “smile” instead of “cheese” while taking the picture? It is just because that we are not that kind of race that used to smile all the time.

Eileen loves to watch herself on the mirror

Do the babies enjoy watching themselves? No matter how hard Eileen was crying, the mirror can easily make her smile and peaceful right away.
The skirt is a gift from a good frind of Eileen's mom and the pink color is so suitable for Eileen. After wearing this skirt, she becomes so girly.

I've been tagged!

This is a fun game tagged by one of my good friends. After I visit both fashionfoodculture-life and chocolate and sage, I can’t wait to introduce the chain-letter games to my friends. There are more than 6 people told me that I am that kind of person who you can almost know her whole life in three days. Even we just met in one hour, but you can easily know my favorite food, my job, my personality, my hobbies, and age... Therefore, it took me 3 days to consider how to list something else. So, here they go. Wish I can surprise you then.

1. When I am depressed, the best solution is walking on the busy stress. Once I heard the noise and people, I could feel that I am not that lonely and the only 1 in this society.
2. When I was young, my father always knew how to cheer me up from depressions. He used to buy me 1 cup of papaya juice if I looked sad. It can always work at that time.
3. I can draw well because of my father. Because my father is a talent artiest for any kind of painting, he used to finish my art work for me. I have never learned how to draw when I was young.
4. I was born with curly hair. My hair used to be as beautiful as a doll. So my kindergarten teacher enjoyed to tie my hair in front of my classmates. However, when I was a junior high student, I admired to have long straight hair. After that, I haven’t had a beautiful curly or straight hair anymore.
5. My daughter is 7 months now. But I still work from 9 to 9.
6. My little brother was born in 1989, the year I was 14. So I saw his growth process from kindergarten till university. I can still remember that he was so excited before the first day of school. Now he is 18 as a university student.
7. I always believe that my EQ was good till the day I yelled some very important person. Now, I am 32. I am attending an EQ lesson every Monday. It is so much fun.

Now, I am so excited to tag the other 7 friends and leave some comments in their blog. My 7 friends…

Eileen's Japanese Style

This is one of my favorite clothes. It's a Japanese style with cute hello kitty patterns. Now, she looks more like a girl, isn't she? However, she grows up so fast, she can only wear two more weeks. So, take a picture for her 4 months.

Dad's girl or Mom's baby?

Look! Dad's nose, eyes, mouth... Eileen is really a Dad's girl.
How about mom????
