ASYIK - a charity event

"Dear lovely friends,

As you may know my musician Uncle Wintolo in Yogyakarta, Indonesia is very sick. He is having dialysis treatments every week as he has failling kidneys (AU$250 per week, until we find a kidney for a transplant, which is super expensive in Java). His three daughters (our cousins) and I have brainstormed with ideas to raise funds.

I have organised a fundraising concert at this nice warehouse in St Peters and have huge support from my artist friends and family. Check out the line up below!

The performers are donating their time and creative energy to put on a very entertaining show. The show will be an explorations of our identity, bringing awareness to what it means to be an Indonesian/Australian through visual arts, film, music and dance.

.......

Also pass this on to your friends! Your support will be greatly appreciated, Thank you!

Love,
Kartini"

ASYIK was successfully organised by Kartini Suharto-Martin and friends. Thumbs up!!
I danced two Indonesian dances; Tari (means Dance in Bahasa) Batik from Solo and Tari Aceh. But could not manage to get any picture in Tari Aceh's costume. 

The (Tari Batik) dancers :

Lanita Apriani, Nadiba Sulaiman, Tiffany Tan and Lintang Putri Wibowo.

We had so much fun that night! And was so happy when Kartini's Mum announced the money they raised that night. It was approximately A$3,700.00.Such a nigh to remember! 

I hope Uncle Wintolo soul's lifted although he was hospitalised. Get well soon, Uncle!

Bisous.

HEY HEY I am back!! :)))

Holla! I am back into the writing world!

Will be so much stories later.
I have not updated this blog since 2009.
Now, I promise myself to tell my lazy bum to stay away from my bed. So that this blog will be full of stories again. *grin*

The highlight of this month - May 2010 would be Hey Hey It's Saturday.

Suara Indonesia Dance Group has been really kind to ask me to dance with them for the audition. I had no idea what this was about since (I think) I have never watched any episode of this show. (shame on me!)

Surprisingly, two days after the audition, a friend of mine, Alfira O'Sullivan got a phone call from Channel 9 and *YAY* we (eight of us) passed the audition and they would fly us to Melbourne. (FYI, I am head-over-heels in love with this city)

5th of May 2010. My first time on TV - to be exact - on an Australian TV channel. It was live!
Olivia Newton-John was one of the judges. She's sooo humble. And of course. Beautiful.

We danced Saman (Acehnese Dance). The dancers were Dian Ammelia, Shanti Marais-Piper, Kartini Suharto-Martin, Kartika Suharto-Martin, Alfira O'Sullivan, Citra Rizal and I. The man who played the 'Gendang' was Bang Murtala.
They are amazing!!

And thankfully we brought the 1st prize to Sydney. Alhamdulillah :)

If you missed the show, dont worry, here's the link to watch our beautiful faces again and again :p enjoy!

I am so very grateful.

All my hard work was dedicated to my beloved Daddy.



Have a perfect day everyone!

Sampai mana yah kebutaan yang namanya 'cinta'?

Setinggi apapun education ternyata nggak menjamin seseorang untuk bebas dari cinta segitiga!

Cinta segitiga antara Lisa Marie Nowak (43), seorang kapten AL AS yang juga seorang insinyur penerbangan dan astronot - Bill Oefelein (41), seorang komandan AL yang pernah menjadi pilot dalam misi discovery (Desember 2006) - Colleen Shipman (30), seorang kapten AU AS.

Nowak yang keukeuh ingin mendapatkan cinta Oefelein, sangat matang untuk merencanakan penculikan dan pembunuhan terhadap Shipman. Nasib baik masih memihak pada Shipman karena rencana itu hanyalah tinggal rencana. Polisi berhasil menangkap Nowak.


'Astronaughty' kalau kata media AS! ahiahia..

Indonesia negeri berjuta juta juta warga|beribu bahasa|beragam warna rambut|beragam yang lain lainnya|walopun ga' sdikit yg bilang indonesia negri yg indah, negri yg penduduknya ramah2, negri yg koruptornya udah kebanyakan, negri yg banyak hasil alam yg trus dimanfaatin sm berbagai pihak, negri yg kampungan (kata seorg tmn), negri yg sejarahnya ciamikkk, tetep buat penulis, negri ini negri yg slalu ada diingatan..

mnunggu saat burung berkicau pagi ini, smakin jls ada diingatan kota yg bernama Jakarta (ibukota indonesia pada saat ini), bukan hanya karena orang2 tercinta ada di kota itu, ini semua krn kmrn pagi ada sms yg bunyinya "jakarta tenggelam"..

sediyyyy bgtttt..
berita yg saya baca terakhir mentioned korban banjir yang udah mencapai angka 9..angka yang sangat amat banyak untuk korban sebuah bencana alam..

Alam benar2 murkakah sekarang?
Tingkah laku manusia semakin membuat alam muak?
Makin banyak orang2 yang lupa akan Penciptanya?
Makin banyak orang2 yg mementingkan kepentingan sendiri, contohnya: membangun gedung2, mall2, tanpa peduli sama tata kota, dengan menebang terlalu banyak pohon,misalnya?

Tuhan..ampuni kami semua..Maha Pengampun..kami hanyalah manusia yang penuh dengan hawa nafsu dan khilaf yang tak terbatas jumlahnya..zillions of sins..Tolong sampaikan pada alam semestaMu..jangan marah lagi..

wishes :

1. Mudah2an alam g marah lagi,,smoga ga' ada lagi bencana alam di Indonesia pada khususnya, dunia pada umumnya.

2. Mudah2an kita semua, manusia, semakin diberi kesadaran sama yang namanya cinta lingkungan..akan saya mulai dari diri saya sendiri, hal terkecil yang bisa dimulai: Buanglah Sampah pada Tempatnya..

3. Jangan ada lagi yang rusuh2an alias perang..apapun bentuknya; perang keluarga, saudara, sebangsa, maupun beda bangsa..STOP it PLEASE..

4. Mudah2an yang di Rumah Sakit cepat diberi kesembuhan [luvly bro, , temen brantem sejati, hoho,,me miss your giggle sooo muchhhhooo!!cpt sembuh lo!, kgn gw ga' brantem2 lagih! ><]

5. Mudah2an yang mau melahirkan diberi kelancaran, kesehatan lahir batin untuk ibu dan bayinya.

6. Mudah2an yang sedang 'Menanti Sebuah Jawaban' (mas Piyu,cs. dipinjem yah judulnya) diberi jawaban yang terbaik..Ameennnn.


Ya Rabb, dengar dan kabulkanlah doa hamba..
