Batik

-

I am currently in a city that breathes Batik! Batik is a traditional textile originating from the island of Java.

What you see below is the process of creating handmade Batik, a craft that can cost up to IDR 5,000,000 (around USD 500) per sheet.



Of course, I want to own Batik! I am not from Java but as an Indonesian, I’d wear it as often as I can. Honestly, I feel like I should have thousands of them!





This is how a Javanese man looks in their traditional clothing.

The Es Baluard

The modern museum Es Baluard in Palma de Mallorca is definitely a must visit in this island. This upside down house welcomes you before you step your feet into the front yard of the museum. You might fancy the Picasso Ceramics but Têtes de Sardines (1999) by Miquel Barceló is my favourite in this museum. Têtes de Sardines belongs to the Duality selection from five artists whom are connected to Mallorca. This mixed media on large size canvas caught my attention as if the dead Sardines were real minus the stinks. I do not know if in the future we will have such artworks that give the scent to complement the visual but would it not be nicer? These are sculptures from the famous Llorenç Ginard. You would notice and might as well relate to the extra meat on the belly, no? Sometimes I think people should not call themselves artist unless they can sculpt.

So what did I do? I turned off the alarm then closed my eyes. I wanna have my another 5 minutes. And so so... So I woke up at 7 am! God, am I gonna miss 7.30am class? No.. no. must be there. I then took quick shower. Forgot to take that fucking accounting book with me, so when I arrived.. the prof just said to take out a paper then join the test!.. and I don't have my own book. How was I supposed to be happy with that open book test? By the way, I just upload some pictures to the hosting web, and here's some of rabbits that always have their dinner in front of my place. They're my neighbour's.

Thanks to Mr Dony , Mr Victor , Mr Hendra , Ms Devi , Ms Celvi , and Mr Yanto who joined me doing a conference call on Christmas eve. Oh, today - I am a Birthday boy whose plan to do lotta fun things. Watch Movie. Spoil my self with sweet cakes. Buy some CDs. Go with siblings and cousins to a karaoke bar. And more fun things to do. And to make this possible, I changed my mind. I don't really like to meet doctor but the time is ticking. [I must prepare my self for the trip to Jakarta too!] So I went to hospital! Get 4 packs medicine. Rhinofed for Influenza. Romilar for Cough. Paracetamol for Fever. Spiramycin [Antibiotic]. Now you know what to buy when you know what's your problem. I know I don't need Antibiotic for it's only fever. And since I do not like medicines, Rhinofed and Paracetamol are what I wi...
