		<description><![CDATA[On October 2, 2009, UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. The education, science and cultural organization of United Nations insisted that Indonesia preserves their batik heritage. Of course! I can’t see otherwise. Batik has long been Indonesian traditional clothes, since the kingdoms era. Though, I cannot just ignore the fact that batik or fabrics that have batik patterns are found also in Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, China, Azerbaijan, India, Sri Lanka, Egypt, even in African countries like Nigeria and Senegal. But in Indonesia, you will see batik as everyday life part of some people. Each region here has their own batik’s unique patterns. Relating to things in their daily life, which show up in the patterns design of nature, animals, flowers, human, folklore, and others. The culture always also influences the design. Batik from coastal cities of northern Java, for instance, has particularly vibrant color. It absorbs Javanese, Arabian, Chinese and Dutch cultures. You can say, batik is an ancient method of color dyeing. But actually, there is stamp batik and hand-made batik (called batik tulis). Making the second one is never easy. It involves a complex process with many hours of hard [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As other conventional culture, the marriage is getting simplified day to day. My aunt was married in 1995, when I was in elementary school. Yet I remember the detail of the procession (sure, I look up the photo album too). And when I attended my cousin’s marriage two years ago, I found many differences. Here some: My Aunt’s Marriage: When the bridegroom and his family arrived in front of the bride’s house, they were welcomed by the three girl dancers and a man who wore clothes like Kabayan. It took several minutes. Then, those dancers brought the bridegroom and his family to the bride’s house. My Cousin’s Marriage: When the bridegroom and his family arrived in front of the bride’s house, there were no dancers welcomed them. My Aunt’s Marriage: After the bridegroom and his family arrived in the bride’s house and the bride’s mother put the flowers necklace to the bridegroom, the bride’s parents brought the bride out of the house and meet her with the bridegroom and his family. My Cousin’s Marriage: The bride came out of her room just when she and the bridegroom would do the marriage promise. My Aunt’s Marriage: After sungkeman (demanding apologize to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have few friends who are movie-crazy, I mean, a film maniac. No doubt, movie is their breath. Nonetheless, I enjoy observe such behavior; how they are thinking, how they act. This is their common characteristic: There are always Home Video&#8217;s member cards in his/her wallet. Still around his/her wallet, we will find some cinema free pass. Or if not so, there is brochure or small note about schedule of movie screening tucked in. Knows where to download the movies files on internet. No time for newspaper, but always some time for movie magazines. His/her cellular phone is always full of Home Video telephone numbers. When looking something remarkable, s/he spontaneously thinks to replay it. Has also his/her own way to calm his/her lover down. For instance, when his girl friend said, &#8220;Blood is gushing profusely from your wound, how could you keep laughing?&#8221; he would respond, &#8220;Relax, this is just a special effect.&#8221; Even if it was not special effect at all. His/her dreams were completed by voice-over narration. When s/he saw Greatest Wall in the dream, a bass voice suddenly came up, &#8220;China again. Damn. It seems like I was a minutes ago in Korea&#8230;.&#8221; Then his/her eye [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I felt so sleepy that night. But when I was playing switch channels as usual, my eyes tethered on Metro TV. Kick Andy, a program similar to Oprah Show, was broadcasting a story of angklung performers&#8217; group. Ah, angklung. I knew this traditional music instrument by school lesson a long time ago, but never been attracted like that night. Hence, no more sleepy eyes. Angklung is made of two bamboo tubes attached to a bamboo frame. The tubes are carved so that they have a resonant pitch when struck. The two tubes are tuned to octaves. How does it work? The base of the frame is held by a performer with one hand while his other hand shakes the instrument rapidly from side to side. This causes a rapidly repeating note to sound. Based on Balinese mythology, angklung consist of two words; &#8220;angka&#8221; (tone) and &#8220;lung&#8221; (broken, incomplete, or gone). So, angklung could be meant as a broken or incomplete tone. Each angklung performer can play just one note. Certainly it&#8217;s incomplete! Consequently, angklung never be played by one performer. Angklung is popular throughout Southeast Asia, but originated from Indonesia. I remember my elementary school teacher told me that Balinese [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think, this is Malayan language family typical. One uses his own name in dialog, instead of “I”. Like Tarzan when he said, “Tarzan see Jane in danger.” It’s real people dialog, especially in Malayan culture. However, very few people practice this weird style. What kind of people are they? One whose language system has not been completed. For example, a child, or the king of the jungle itself: Tarzan. One who worries to become unpopular if his name is not said repeatedly. A selfish, narcissist, or spoiled person. One who tries to be polite. One who cannot says “you” or “I” in direct. Seriously, people like this do exist. * * * “Chika mau makan nih,” kata Chika. Menyebut nama sendiri ketika berdialog. Pernahkah Anda menemukan gaya bicara semacam ini? Saya sering. Di cerpen, novel, film, apalagi sinetron. Kebiasaan menyebut nama sendiri ini “lazim” di negeri rumpun Melayu. Saya membaca di koran tentang Siti Nurhaliza. Penyanyi dari Malaysia itu berkata, “Saat Siti berumur 10 tahun, Siti keliling kampung dan pasar dengan membawa bakul.” Kenalan saya, seorang sastrawan Malaysia, juga begitu. Pertama, saya pikir dia berbahasa seperti itu hanya di dialog karya-karyanya. Tapi ternyata, saat bercakap-cakap pun dia menyebut namanya [...]]]></description>
