GooD ByE ChRisYE

Chrisye is one of outstanding male singers in Indonesia, and today morning he passed away. Now through the radio I’ve listening one of his song and make me wanna cry. His voice is simple and his songs are easy to listen with deep meaning. His phenomenal album is Badai Pasti Berlalu and also an Original Soundtrack for a great movie too with the same title, its Badai Pasti Berlalu. And I am sure it will always remind us to Chrismansyah Rahardi (Chrisye). Hopefully Allah SWT will accept him and gives strengthen to his family.
So long Chrisye, and thank you for your dedication…

FLaSh DiSc

Few days ago my sista gave me a flash disc with 1GB capacity. First time I know about this gadget was on last December 2003. My Singaporean employer introduced it to me, he bought it in Singapore and if we convert it in Rupiah its around 1 million if I am not wrong, coz it was on year 2003.
Nowadays, flash disc is very common among us. It’s really useful because it can save lots of files with its capacity. And the price is also reachable even it also depend on the flash disc capacity, we can say that there are many brands that offer you several of flash disc.
The other advantage of flash disc is it has small size and easy to carry so you can put it on your pocket.
Perhaps it little bit too late for me to have it, and since I have it now I fell bit happy coz easier for me to share or save my files from my office’s computer to my own at home.

ReYNaLDi

Come on guys, that is not my boyfriend name :D
It is an alias of Tukul Arwana, who is he?
Tukul is a comedian, who is very famous lately, he is a host for a talk show in one of our local television channel.
He is sometime introduce him self as Reynaldi, because if you read or heard the name you might think that the man who has the name is handsome. But the fact is the opposite, Tukul or Reynaldi is far from good-looking =)).
The show name is Empat Mata, you can watch it every Monday-Friday on 9.30 PM (Trans 7). He is success to make this show become a favorite for everyone, because that he is very down to earth person even people make a joke about his ugly face.
I think this is the point why the show can become outstanding like now, well even Tukul’s face is pointless and the central of all jokes but Tukul is always response with open heart. And also He is always respect to his entire guest in that show no matter where they are come from and backgrounds.
Tukul it self was started everything from zero and that is why even now he becomes popular he still try to keep down to earth person and live like a normal and far from glamour style.
The magic hint that I can learn from Mr. Reynaldi is that don’t ever change your self no matter how rich you are or what kind of your status now and always remember your past so its can keep you humble.

Today is Hindu’s New Year; it is called Hari Raya Nyepi. In this year turn to Year Caka 1929. Nyepi is unique, in this day we cannot do three main things. They are; we cannot do anything (working), we cannot turn on the light and the last is that we cannot turn on fire (cooking).
Before Nyepi big day, Balinese are doing several rituals, started with Melasti and then the day after that they have made another ceremony names Tawur Agung Kesanga. Usually in Bali, in the night before Nyepi there is a tradition called Ogoh-Ogoh parade. Ogoh-Ogoh is a kind of statue made from papers. The Ogoh-ogoh type is various as long as they represent a power to scare and get rid off the devils. It can be like Buta Kalla (Giant) or in modern one sometimes they made like a Ghost Riders :D.
I have been experienced Nyepi for 24th times, so I get use to with it. For several people who are not originally Balinese but living in Bali sometime they cannot stand to live with the Nyepi’s roles. And they decided to stay in hotel along the Nyepi holidays. In big hotels there is an exception which is everyone who stay in the hotel may do daily activities and turn on the light but all done only around the hotel, they cannot go out from hotel’s area.
Nyepi moment is only for 24 hours/one day, start on 6 am and it will end at the same time on the next day.
Are you curious to have this experience? Welcoming you to Bali then, and we are not only have Nyepi as traditional culture but also many things that you can find when you visit this Island of Goddess.

++KaRMa++

This morning I have watched a Television program and at end of the show it’s gave a short description about what we called Karma.
If there are people who misunderstood about Karma, I think I am one of them. Karma, always identically describe as a bad impact of our behavior. Karma means an impact or a result that comes next after we do something and related to our behavior. Karma can be divided into Good Karma and Bad Karma.
If we are doing something that is not against the role of life I mean just try to do good things in our life it will automatically follow by Good Karma. And as the opposite if we do something that cross the roles, then it might be follow by Bad Karma.
The word Karma is popular in Bali. Because of Balinese are believed that everything that you do will be follow by Karma whether it’s a Good one or a Bad one.
Karma philosophy, I think is one way to limit mankind behavior so that they will always remember to do their best thing in this very short life.

8 To 12

I believe that women have always concern about their bodies and I have realized this lately. Body shape describes a flat stomach and also with balance weight, well this is my own opinion. And now its becomes my problem, when I was graduated from university and three years after that I still confidence with my body weight, and wearing clothes in size 8 is not a problem at all.
So far I know that there are two kinds of ways for clothes measurement. Some brands use numbers such us 8,10,12 and some others use letters like S, M, L (Small, Medium, Large).
Now can you guess what is the size that suitable for me?
When I look at the scales, I saw that I’ve 2 kg overweight. Then the fact made me to switch the size from 8 TO 12.
For a bit tomboy gal like me, thinking about performance sound ridiculous sometime, but now I understand this is important. Why I said so?
First, now some of my clothes are not fit anymore and I feel uncomfortable to wear them then it will cost you a lot to buy new ones.
And I’ve also feel very big, even some my friends said that I am not that big :D (they just want to please me I think).
So what should I do then, it’s a classic question for those who have overweight problem. Well my plan is that I will back to do sport again, it means go to swim :D , its only sport that I like to do ;) coz in the same I can play with water.
My conclusion is that, the problem is not about the way I look if I am fat but to find a way so I can feel comfortable again with my self especially when I am wearing any kind of clothes. Gals are you agree?

Casino Royal Party

Last night I was attended to my company’s party. It’s held at Ritz Carlton Hotel Bali. The theme for this year is Casino Royal, so you can imagine that we do have a cabaret show as one of few performances on the stage. It was start on 6.30 PM local time and ended around 12.00 PM. The atmosphere was quite good, and I think everybody was enjoyed it.
Our company is run a hospitality business we have several resorts in India, Thailand and Indonesia. We also have a Villa, its name Karma Villa located in Jimbaran and next to the Four Season Villa.
Our chairman was also gave a long speech as usual and it was bored actually :D. Anyway I really like the cuisine last night, except the appetizer coz its tasted weird in my tongue and perhaps the others is also felt the same with me. My favorite one was the main menu, it’s a combination of tuna fillet with wasabi sauce, carrot bean (in pieces) and also fried potatoes, and gosh … so yummy…
When the cabaret was performed, all the eyes focused to the stage and the dancers were succeeded to cheer up everyone in the ballroom last night and mostly the boys.
Overall I did enjoy the party last night becoz I can share happy moment with my friends, and that is the most important.
