Extended Family Tour 2011: Bali

-

I just spent lebaran's holiday in Bali with my extended family. Yeah, we departed from Solo in September 1, 2011 spending four days there. Well, although I once went to Bali, this time the nuance was so different as I went there with my extended family, not friends. Below are some pictures of my trip :) Please enjoy my narcissism hahahahaaaa.....

At Tanjung Benoa - Sea Turtle Island

Frankly, I was saddened by this tourist attraction as people broke the rules! they rode on the back of the sea turtles despite the prohibition! In addition, I personally thought that the tourists did not treat the sea turtles well as they chased and even stepped on their backs! I think that sea turtles in this island must be stressed out. They need to be freed to the ocean!




Intermezzo: A complex of Mosque - Protestant Church - Catholic Church - Buddhist Temple - Hindu's Temple 
I could only capture Mosque (in which my family had Jumuah Prayer) and the Protestant Church.

At Pura Uluwatu: Indian Ocean Scenery from the top of the Pura


 At GWK

I personally think this project (GWK) will never be finished.
Imagine how many years since its inception?  Yet it is still only 20% finished ...

At Pura Tirta Empul: the Only Pura that is Accessible for Tourists 
When we entered this pura, there was Hinduism ritual was on the go. I thought that our presence somehow distracted their prayers. I think that there should be some limitations as to where tourist may look around the pura. I think it is impolite for us tourists to take pictures the Hinduists while they had their religious rituals.

Movie Review | Stream of Tears in Wedding Dress

-
Image
Last Saturday, I got a runny nose -kind of severe, as I recalled- not because of sick, but because I watched a Korean movie entitled WeddingDress . Wedding Dress Movie Poster (link contains spoiler) I have frequently watched Korean movies. In my opinion, they are much better than Indonesian movies. Not that I dislike my country (I just dislike Indonesia’s movies), but yeah, Korean movies have a wide range of preference. You can watch cheesy-funny-romantic movie that make you feel happy and smile all the time. Or try to watch a horror-romanticmovie  that makes you laugh and scared. You can also find cool action movie ! Some movies even make me cry a lot . I really mean it when I say some Korean movies really make me cry so badly. Wedding Dress is one that makes me cry. I am a boy and I cry. So what? I don’t buy the ubiquitous saying ‘Boys don’t cry’. Wedding Dress narrates the life of a single mother, Go-eun, played by Song Yun Ah . Her husband dies already, leaving ...

Dispelling Disney Princess Myth

Cinderella, the Front Runner of Disney Princess The Most Famous Disney Princess according to Wikipedia What is in your mind if I mention Disney princesses? You probably will conjure images of Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and other princesses. They all belong in a realm of American popular culture that is so hegemonic, even in Indonesian culture. We have been so accustomed to these characters that we take them for granted. Once we consume a popular culture product, we also consume the ideology embedded within. What do these princesses teach us, or teach your daughter?   Can I say that Cinderella is a bad girl? Or Snow White as an evil character? No, surely not. They all belong to the ‘good’ girl. They are the protagonist of the story. Then, what are the characteristics of a ‘good girl’ according to the princess above? First of all, a good girl is so kind hearted. She is indeed too kind. Why does Cinderella obey all of her step mother’s request?...

Ghosts as Popular Culture

-
It’s almost two months, yet the building that houses the famous Haunted House is still swarmed by people. My city, Surakarta, witnesses a popular culture ritual that is unfolding. In this post, I would argue that even ghost now attains a status as a popular culture product. Solo, Javanese Culture, and Mysticism As one of the oldest city in Java, Solo once functioned, and it does still function, as the center of Javanese culture in Indonesia. The Keraton Kasunanan (Kasunanan Palace) which was the ruler of Solo, now serves as the cultural guardian of the city. Tracing back to the history of Solo, an assimilated form of Islam is the biggest influence in the city. I argue this as an assimilated form of Islam to refer to the reality that in Solo, Islam is not practiced solely adapting its Arabic version as taught by Muhammad PBUH. Solonese practice both Islam as inscribed by the holy prophet and Javanese cultural belief ( kejawen ) which includes the rituals which are not inscribe...
