TR Story; part 1: The Meeting & The White Office

6 month ago

The email were sent. I emailed to Gaya Art Space and Tonyraka Art Gallery. While waiting for the reply, I went to East Java for praying with my father and my auntie. I came one week later, my email was replied. Tonyraka Art Gallery replied my email twice. As soon we made an appointment for an job interview.

On ‘the day’, I came to the gallery. There was a beautiful woman at the garden when I arrived. She’s Ibu Ratih. She was my-upcoming-boss at Tonyraka. She didn’t asked much at the interview, I thought she’s already interested with my resume, though I had no job experience, but she thought I was able to handling exhibitions, that’s the most important thing (fiuh..)… apparently later I knew that she was Pak Tony’s wife; Bapak Anak Agung Bagus Tony Hartawan is the owner of Tonyraka Art Gallery. When I saw him for the first time, he totally didn’t as I imagined before, I thought he was a Chinese, hehe.. apparently he is a Balinese.

I’m (not so) Single and (not so) Very Happy, AM I???

Oppie Andaresta – Single Happy

Mereka bilang aku pemilih dan kesepian
Terlalu keras menjalani hidup
Beribu nasehat dan petuah yang diberikan
Berharap hidupku bahagia

[*]
Aku baik-baik saja
Menikmati hidup yang aku punya
Hidupku sangat sempurna
I’m single and very happy

[**]
Mengejar mimpi-mimpi indah
Bebas lakukan yang aku suka
Berteman dengan siapa saja
I’m single and very happy

Mereka bilang sudah saatnya karena usia
Untuk mencari sang kekasih hati
Tapi ku yakin akan datang pasangan jiwaku
Pada waktu dan cara yang indah

Back to [*][**]

I’m single and very happy

Waktu terus berjalan
Tak bisa ku hentikan
Ku inginkan yang terbaik untukku

Well..well..wel..pertama kali denger tentang lagu ini dari baca status FB-nya salah satu temen Ri: “Baru pulang dari Hu’u & dengerin lagunya Oppie I’m Single and Very Happy”. Waktu itu Ri berfikir: huh? Oppie?

World Silent Day, A Generous Action for Our Beloved Earth

An action was made to reduce Global Warming on our beloved earth, it called WORLD SILENT DAY (WSD)! It’s a collective society action to help climate change by traditional wisdom (kearifan tradisional).

When? On March 21, 2009 at 10 am to 2 pm, you are asked to turn off your electric stuff (computer, AC, TV, radio, mobile etc). 21 March was chosen because at that time the sun is on vernal equinox spot and will move from equator to north. It’s as a symbol of a new beginning life.
