As the year comes to a close and Christmas is fast upon us again, it’s time to take a moment to reflect on the past year and basically count our blessings for making it through to bigger and better things than ever before. Generally, it was a good year for most as the economy stabilised and grew at a rate of knots taking most people with it to a higher plane. Entertainment-wise, there were tons of new restaurants and venues opening up around town with mixed results and international acts coming in from all over the globe to entertain the masses. One notable exception was the Queen of Pop, Lady Gaga who ran into an ugly wall of ignorance from some parties, but hopefully people have learned from that experience and a similar occurrence will not happen again.

To round off another interesting year, The Beat is holding another party this week and you are all welcome to join the fun. It will be held at Umbra in Kemang this Friday night from 9.30pm with one of the best live acts in town, Jethro, performing their suave and sophisticated set followed by a stunning fashion show from stylish La Bella by Benita and street savvy Green Rock menswear. After that all hell breaks loose with guest DJ Lee Getts getting behind the wheel to drive the sounds into a night of unadulterated revelry. Should be fun. Be there early and you may get some drinks, but if nothing else, you are guaranteed good times.

Check inside for all the details of the coming events over the next weeks.

Merry Christmas to you all.

the Christmas City at CeNTRAL PARK

After the success three years in a row in celebrating the Christmas and New Year events in 2009, 2010, and 2011, as well as presenting a very tall Christmas tree with LED lights, this year Central Park Mall will hold a series of spectacular event called “The Joy of Golden Christmas” from December 18 to January 6. The musical LED Christmas tree show can be enjoyed every day, while also having the end-of-year shopping program that will be started from December 14 to 16 in the theme “Beyond Shopping Marathon till Midnight”. Your year-end holiday will be more exciting with the lineup of fireworks and laser shows on December 14, 25, and January 1.

SimakDialog was a project formed by Riza Arshadi (piano) along with Ari Ayunir (drums) in 1993. Afterwards, the other musicians joined in to the group, such as Tohpati Ario (guitar), Adhitya (bass), Endang Ramdan (kendang), Erlan Suwardana, and Cucu Kurnia. The group offers such a different sound and composition, like a mix between western, Javanese and Sundanese ethnic music. On Friday December 21, SimakDialog will appear in a Festival Music program held by Gedung Kesenian Jakarta at 8pm.

A British alternative rock band, The Stone Roses, is one of the most influenced Britpop bands and just announced their reunification officially on October 18. They will be ready to make a reunion tour of the world for their fans after almost more than ten years on hiatus. The band that was formed in Manchester in 1983 became one of the pioneering groups in the “Madchester” movement in the late 80s era. Consisting of Ian Brown (who was recently here solo), John Squire, Gary “Mani” Mounfield, and Alan “Reni” Wren, The stone Roses released their first album in 1989 with hits songs like “Elephant Stone”, “I Wanna be Adored”, “She Bangs the Drums”, and “Made of Stone”. Next year, the band will appear at Lapangan D Senayan, Jakarta on February 23.

SoundSlikeTribal Vocal, Progressive House

HaS BeenWizznu merupakan seorang anak yang lahir di keluarga yang mencintai musik sejak dini.

laSt But not leaSt, according to you, wHat will tHe Jakarta dance Scene look like For nextyear?

Yes, you are right, I am busy in preparing the Indonesia tour 2012 with the theme “Sound of Stadium” Bobby Suryadi Indonesia tour 2012 (Audio Visual DJ Set).

Actually, this tour should have been held in 2007 altogether with the CD promo called PutraChoice Part #1 and Stadium Essential, but it has not been able to be implemented until now. The tour can be done this year but with different musical or visual concept. The original music of Sound of Stadium has its own character that is mixed with my own ideas, such as the audio visual DJ set, it is an exploration and a mix between audio and visual which becomes harmony. The cities I will be visiting are Palu, Surabaya, Manado, Pekanbaru, Bogor, and others before I end it back in Jakarta.

Since this is a single tour, there will be some DJs who will act as the opening performances.

No other gimmicks, DJ Bobby will appear as usual with full consistency and long hair.

I still keep producing, deepening the technology, and exploring dance music, you know it is still related with the DJ stuff. Because I think that firstly I must stay focused in one aspect to be a professional DJ.

I guess, the highlight right now is the audio visual DJ set I use, since nobody uses it in Indonesia but me. However, it doesn’t mean that it takes over the VJ’s role, yet it will be cooler if it is combined with the cooperation with the VJs too. The plan’s for next year are being prepared for an experiment in one of our gadgets. So, just wait for it.

I think, the Jakarta dance scene or wherever it is will be more developed if the DJs become more professional too. In fact, recently a lot of organizers influenced the dance scene in Indonesia, and I hope they are able to develop the dance scene more in our country, and especially in Jakarta.

older we get, the faster time seems to fly. The impression that policemen we see on the street seem to be getting younger with each passing year is just that: It’s us that’s gettin’ older ...

Anyway, I’ve taken another look at some of the stories I covered over the past year to see what happened to some of the issues involved. In March, I observed that Indonesia was one of the few nations that had still not signed up to the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. Just recently, Australia implemented very strict controls on cigarette packaging, whereby branding images are all but removed and replaced by harrowing photos of the harm that cigarettes can do to your health.

It’s ironic, though, that many Australians, who form one of the largest groups of overseas visitors to Bali, are able to enjoy a double benefit: For those who smoke, cigarettes in Indonesia are absurdly cheap compared with their cost back home while the strength of the Aussie dollar against the rupiah merely accentuates the cost advantage. And they can smoke just about anywhere.

The unexpected passing of singer Whitney Houston in February prompted me to focus on the early demise of both Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse. Time stops for no one, and Adele has now replaced Winehouse as the great British soul singer. Her position as the new no. 1 was cemented in October when she was chosen to perform the theme song in Skyfall, the latest (and arguably the best) of the 23-film James Bond series. The disco remix is now going down a storm with clubbers everywhere.

One way in which the Bond franchise has maintained its supremacy in films of this genre is its decision always to select someone at their career peak to perform the theme song. Who can forget Shirley Bassey’s rendition of Goldfinger, released originally way back in 1964?

So much has happened, all so quickly ...

From time to time, I looked at what was happening in the US presidential election campaign. Barack Obama has since been re-elected US president against all the odds, at least as far as they seemed at the beginning of this year. In winning a second term against the backdrop of a seriously weakened US economy, he has done what no candidate had achieved before, apart from Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s when times were very different.

Much closer to home, there was another election. Joko (“Jokowi”) Widodo was chosen as the new governor of the capital, showing that the Jakartans’ appetite for change trumped the appeal that Fauzi Bowo, the incumbent perceived as a more pro-establishment figure, might have had.

Jokowi’s task in trying to make Jakarta more livable is enormous. In focusing on the debacle that led to Lady Gaga’s non-appearance here, I came to the conclusion that the small-mindedness that caused the cancellation of her gigs was precisely an example of the kind of attitude that prevents Jakarta from becoming a world-class city.

While Jokowi is unlikely to be focussed on rock stars (controversial or otherwise) the twin problems of traffic congestion and the city’s vulnerability to flooding will take up much of his attention as he strives to confront these most urgent issues.

Quite simply, he has to deal with a legacy of failure by previous administrations over many decades that now falls to him: Unlike Singapore, Kuala Lumpur or Bangkok, Jakarta ducked the tough investment and construction questions that should have been taken way back in the 1980s and 90s.

The quagmire that now exists (quite literally, after heavy rain!), will be the most intractable and defining challenge of Jokowi’s time in office. One can but wish him all the best as he attempts to address it. (Jim Read)

When did you start to get into fashion?What makes you interested in the fashion world? What’s the story behind the name of your fashion line?

I’ve been into fashion since I was in senior high school. It was my mom’s influence actually because she likes fashion too. She likes to design her own clothes and she got me to think about what I wanted also (for my occasional dress) or sometimes she designed for me and my sister. Then, after I graduated from high school, I was modeling but not for a long time then my mom said to me why don’t I use my talent in design as a business. Then I was thinking why not? I see a piece of cloth as an art to complete a woman’s beauty and to strengthen their sexiness, that’s why it was La Bella (the beautiful one) before I named it La Bella Private Collections.

When did you start your fashion line and how do you promote it?

Who or what is your inspiration in designing clothes?

What is your signature style?

What’s your future goals as a fashion designer?

The end of 2008, but I had the idea a year before. I promote with Facebook, Blackberry, socialization, fashion shows and personal contact while preparing to launch a new website.

I love Versace’s design, that’s my inspiration, very elegant but still sexy. All women are sexy but they are sexy in their own way.

Most of my designs are backless because I think the back of woman is the sexiest part that you can show and I custom make for every customer based on their measurement and body shape.

My dream is to dress as many women as possible and make them feel more beautiful through my designs. And in order to do that, I’m planning to have couple of boutique stores throughout Indonesia and eventually abroad.

R3HAB

T.B.: Where are you from and how old are you?R3HAB: I’m from Amsterdam, Holland and I’m 26 years old, already.

What kind of music were you listening to when you were growing up?I think it was just all round music, you know? Holland is a pretty dance music influenced country so there was a lot of that.

What was the first dance track you liked? I really liked The Prodigy when I was young. A couple of tracks like “No Good” and “Outer Space” where they used high voices and pitched up, you know.

How did you first get into DJing? I think I went out to a party, a teenage party, when I was young and there was a DJ playing and I’m like, I think I could do this a little better. He seemed to be selecting the wrong

music, and I’m thinking I would have chosen this or that track and that’s when I thought I should try being a DJ.

What were your biggest influences back then?There are a lot of DJs in Holland. At first it was just about the parties and you want to play something that works. So in the beginning you just want to entertain the people. That was more important at then than who was my favourite DJ. It wasn’t till I was about 17 or 18 when I started thinking this guy or that sounded really cool.

What are your influences now?I think with all the Dutch DJs you have like Tiesto, Armin, Laiback Luke. There are just so many. You get influenced by certain eras in dance music. You have something really energetic for a while then something really vocal, it’s all influenced by the seasons. And if a new DJ comes along, that brings a fresh sound.

Fadil El Ghoul, better known as DJ R3HAB, has taken the dance

music world by storm over the past 18 months. He won the prestigious Best Breakthrough Artist Award at this year’s Miami Winter Music Conference which catapulted him into worldwide dance music stardom and he happened to be playing a set of his Chainsaw Madness at Immigrant on a busy Saturday night a couple of weeks ago. That’s where the beat caught up for a quick chat and to find out more about the latest happening kid on the block.

Are those new influences affecting your music now?We sort of influenced things last year, you know? When we went to America it was something new and fresh and I think that we also influenced the next generation and now we’re always looking for the new generation to bring the new sounds. But you are still the new generation, right?Yeah, but I mean, new kids 16 or 17 year olds are already making amazing music and they just have to develop their style so we’re just waiting for the new stuff coming out from them.

You travel around the world a lot, what venue or city do you like playing best?I like Miami, Las Vegas, New York, L.A., the four big party cities in America. They just go crazy, Las Vegas especially.

What about Ibiza?Ibiza’s great, but it’s a seasonal thing while a place like Miami goes all year long.

Your music is described as chainsaw madness, what exactly does that mean and is it an evolving sound?Ha. It’s a sound sometimes like firing up a chainsaw and it sort of started as a joke and stuck. There are moments it sounds like a chainsaw, you know? Broom broom..

What genre of dance music do you like partying to most?Just the energy. I don’t see it as a genre, it’s all music and I just like it with a lot of energy. I like variation and if you play the same rhythm the whole night, it gets boring.

Do you party much in your spare time?No, actually I don’t. In my spare time I like to relax and watch a movie. There’s not a lot of spare time. Like this week we have one day off and that’s Monday. Last Saturday and Sunday I was in America, then Monday and Tuesday I was in Europe, Wednesday off, then flew to Hong Kong on Wednesday night and Singapore last night and tonight in Jakarta. Tomorrow Mumbai and then Monday off. So in my spare time I just try to relax.

What’s the name R3HAb mean or where did it come from?I thought it was a cool metaphor for partying, alcohol, getting wasted, having fun and it kinda stuck.

So you were partying some time?Of course, when I play I party. I party hard behind the decks and with the crowd on most nights.

What’s the most interesting thing about being a DJ?I think it’s the reaction of the crowd. I’ve played so many big festivals, like thousands and thousands of people, like this (showing a crowd shot on his iPhone from the week before). This was in California and Americans they do it really big and there’s always a lot of people.

What’s the worse?Missing a gig. Like once I played in the Dominican Republic and three flights got cancelled in a row and I waited there all day and then missed the next gig.

How much time do you spend listening to music every day?Wow, that’s a lot. Maybe seven or eight hours every day.

How much time do you spend in the studio?Well the studio starts on the laptop. You can do everything on the laptop and then you go to the studio so it’s like five or six hours a day.

You have remixed a lot of tracks from pop stars like Lady Gaga, Enrique Iglesias, Madonna, Pitbull etc. Do you spend much time with them doing that or is it just you putting it together on your own? No, not really, it’s always different depending on who. I spent a lot of time with Enrique but then Gaga just uses the internet. It depends, but they have to approve it and the track is official.

So are you doing it for them or for yourself?It’s like both ways. You always want to do something for yourself and they ask you to do a remix and you want to be part of it.

This is your first time in Jakarta. What do you think of the place? Hot. No, it’s cool and Indonesia is definitely a place I want to come back again on vacation.

So where will you be at Christmas and New Years?At Christmas I will be in Stockholm and New Years I’ll be at New York and Philadelphia. Two cities with a helicopter back and forth during the night.

So you won the Breakthrough Artist award at the Miami Winter Music Conference. How did that feel?Good. Like icing on the cake after a busy year, and they give you a crown for it. So that was nice.

Singer, Songwriter

What music are you into at the moment?I actually don’t really listen to any particular album these days. At the moment I’m intensely working on songs for my project ESQI:EF (Syaharani & Queenfireworks). But mind you, a bit of Chris Botti, Diane Schuur, Johnny Nash, Amy Winehouse and Adele are always nice for rainy seasons. Some tunes by Sting, Paul Giamatti, Christopher Cross, Paul Weller, also help to get me back on my feet, straighten me up and ready for the world.

What was the first record you bought? Any interesting story behind it?Wait, let me tell you about the first record I heard (that I’m gettin’ jiggly wit’) was Osibisa Live. I stole that record from my older brother. I couldn’t help myself from falling in love with Osibisa’s “Sunshine Day”: Everybodeeee do what you’re dooooing, smile while bringing a sunshine day… I was only eight years old at the time. .

The first record I bought? Unyil. It was an epic moment for a 9 year old to own that record. Ah, those days were so fun…

What are your all-time favourite albums? Why?All time favourite albums: anything by The Carpenters. So soulful, filled with self esteem and beautiful harmony. I also love 007 songs. Each and every song of 007 is so damn cool! I have the ultimate respect for Charlie Parker’s, Billie Holiday’s, Astrud Gilberto’s, and Macy Grey’s work as well. …Oh, god, help me. I can’t make up my mind. There are so many good songs and albums in this world. I’m sure that I haven’t heard them all. Music, like, mimic nature. Always brings surprises.

What was the worst record you ever purchased?Worst record? Hard for me to say. Maybe some records with poor mixing/mastering results.

Who do you want to be, other than yourself, next time you reincarnate?Well, I don’t really believe (or care) about reincarnation, sixth senses, whatever. I don’t get the logic. But anyway, if I could choose, I just want to be me. Only slimmer, please.

What book are you reading now and what’s the score (1-10)? Plato and a Platypus Walk Into a Bar by Thomas Cathcart & Daniel Klein. I laugh a lot reading this and think a lot afterward.

What new movie should people see? Why?I’m pretty much hooked on the Bourne series, Lord of the Rings series, A Separation (an Iranian drama film). I especially like complicated mind themes, attention to detail and that kind of thing. I think it’s cool. It makes you put things in perspective, see life with more empathy.

What music do you choose to start your weekend?To start my weekend: rock ‘n’ roll comes first! And then jazz, plus a little bit of blues.

And song/album you choose to end your weekend?Song to close my weekend, I would usually go mellow with “Wild Wood” by Paul Weller. Also my own song “Delight” which always is effective for strengthening my faith in love; the world is truly a beautiful place when we are falling in love.

KOLLECTION FOR DOROTHY PERKINS ARRIVES IN INDONESIAby grisseldaniharja

The Kardashian sisters have done it again! Have done what? They’ve expanded their

“fashion empire” with full force. Even though they have their own clothing line, it didn’t stop them from creating partnerships with other brands. Now we can find KardashianKollection for Dorothy Perkins here in Indonesia! I was mega excited to come to the exclusive preview last month. First, the Kardashian sisters are not skinny like those models that you see so often on the runway who are all skin and bone. What size 0? In Indonesia, we have sizes 8 – 14 (UK Size, or to make it easy S – XL). Yay for that! Secondly, all of them are affordable, following Dorothy Perkins’ price standard which is under IDR 1,000,000.

Commenting on the partnership, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe added “We’re looking forward to expanding our line and making KardashianKollection available to so many more people and we’re excited to bring it to new territories”.

The collection, oh sorry, the kollection brings lots of smoky and animal prints. And as you can see in the photos below, for black color lovers out there, it’s good news, you’ll find black tops, black pants, black dresses for sure. Overall, this collection is very acceptable for my style. Simple cutting, nothing too weird, you can look casual but still show that glam vibe. I’m eyeing the smoky print blazer by the way.The KardashioanKollection has been available for the public since November and you can visit Dorothy Perkins store in Grand Indonesia and Central Park to see it.

Here are some sneak peeks from the collection to pique your interest. Enjoy!

I do want my pores to look less noticable, or even better, unseen! But of course, I’m only human so I can’t do that . At least what I can do is to make my pores look tighter and smaller. And this serum is the answer.

Clinique uses new formula that instantly diminishes the appearance of pores while simultaneously helping to strengthen and tighten the skin’s surface struc-ture over time. It claims to reduce the appearance of pores by 58% in a only two weeks. A tighter, younger look – guaranteed. Now you know why I put this one on my beauty wishlist! Moreover, this is Clinique that we’re talking about.

I always love their products and never have doubts. But again, not everyone has the same skin types, so maybe for one person it works, and for another person it does nothing. When it comes to beauty products, it’s all about trial and error.

Whoa, Clinique has been on a roll with its products lately. From the last two months, my wishlist is

getting longer and longer. Not to mention all of them are essential, for me at least. When you have to separate wants versus needs, dare I say, I NEED ALL OF THESE!

Every month, I always check my beauty items to see if there are any items that should be thrown away. Like an old mascara, almost empty lip gloss, very short pencil liner, etc. But then I also always ask myself if there is something that I need? That’s why my beauty wish list is never empty, and somehow I don’t mind at all.

If you are familiar with Clinique Pore Minimizer Instant Perfector, then this new Cli-nique Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfector is “the solution” for you. This one is the upgraded version that contains “smart” sebum-balancing ingredients. Not only it provides an immediate reduction in the appearance of pores by over 50%, but also helps minimize excess sebum production. With its smart technology, it claims to maintain the skin’s equilibrium, so pores remain undetected throughout the day. May I repeat this one more time? Pores remain undetected throughout the day. That’s what I’m looking for!

Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfector is available in three tints, and can be worn under or over makeup, or just by itself. We can use it for our whole face or just in our t-zone area. Perfecto.

Whenever I look into my makeup pouch, I’m always reminded that my favourite gel liner is needed to be put to rest since it’s been abused. Excuses, excuses. But I do really need this one because Clinique quickliner For Eyes Intense has the unique smudger tip which I’m sure I’ll use for good.

It claims to deliver a soft creamy texture and convenient application while delivering the most intense colour payoff. quickliner For Eyes Intense provides non-fading, long-wearing colour and provides a smooth, liquid-liner-like payoff that sets for 12 hours.

Don’t blame me if I got curious about this one. I want to test it by myself. The claims sounds very promising and perfect for me who wear makeup for more than 12 hours in one day. It is available in two colors: Intense Black and Intense Chocolate. I’m eyeing the black one, for sure.

Clinique Quickliner For eyes intense(iDr 190,000)

I’m not trying to justify this one, but seriously and honestly, my current mascara is drying out. The age of mascara is short, indeed! That’s why I need the new one. When I read Clinique Lash Power Lengthening Mascara developed exclusively for Asian lashes, I feel like I need to go to department store immediately and find Clin-ique counter to buy this one. Asian lashes are very different than those Kardashian lashes, you know what I mean. Not everyone has the short, straight lashes but still, most of Asian need “booster” for their lashes. If we can make our lashes look more ‘pop’, why not?

Clinique Lash Power Lengthening Mascara features an advanced formula and in-novative new brush. It claims to dramatically lengthen lashes without flaking or smudging yet removes easily with warm water. It has a dual-sided brush, the flat side of brush features short bristles to deposit mascara at the base of the lash line. And the fuller side of the brush with longer bristles pulling the formula from root to tip, separate and stretch lashes to maximize their length. It sounds promising and I soooo want to try one!

Clinique Lash Power Lengthening Mascara (iDr 230,000)

So what do you think, any of these catch your interest? or have you have already put one of them in your beauty wish list too?

ChristmasWith The Swingles

By erza S.t.

Folks! The best time of the year has finally arrived again. Christmas is coming to town and 2012 is finishing soon. There is nothing

better to enjoy the month of December than with some Christmas tunes to warm up this rainy season. One of the voices that will bring Christmas joy and goodness soon to Jakarta is none other then The Swingle Singers.

The Swingle Singers are an international renowned A Cappella phenomenon that was formed in 1962 in Paris, France by Ward Swingle with Anne Germain, Jeanette Baucomont, Jean Cussac and others. The group has survived for almost 50 years and has had many singers in the past including Christine Legrand (the sister of famous composer Michel Legrand) as the group’s lead soprano since 1972. In 1973, the original group disbanded and Ward Swingle moved to London and recruited all new members who debuted as Swingle II. The group later performed and recorded under the name The Swingles, then The New Swingle Singers, before eventually settling with a simpler name, The Swingle Singers.

Since then, the group has never disbanded and now, with its current seven members, they deliver versatile sounds in folk ballads, funk jams and fugues with equal precision and passion. In the past the group has recorded albums like Jazz Sebastien Bach, The Swingle Singers Going Baroque, Anyone for Mozart, Rococo A Go Go and

many more that has led them to win five Grammy Awards and a many Grammy nominations.

The Swingle Singers actually began as session singers mainly doing background vocals for singers such as Charles Aznavour and Edith Piaf. It was after they sang through Bach’s “Well-Tempered Klavier” as a sight reading exercise and found the music to have a natural swing.

The group now consists of seven voices: two sopranos (Joanna Goldsmith – Eteson and Sara Brimer), one alto (Clare Wheeler), two tenors (Oliver Griffiths and Christopher Jay), one baritone (Kevin Fox) and one bass (Edward Randell).

As part of their 50th year anniversary tour, The Swingles are coming to town and to sing you some Christmas tunes this coming December 23 at Aula Simfonia. It is a world-class entertainment indeed and make sure you are not missing it.

Beach houseBloom

MGMTOracular Spectacular

Sigur Rós( )

Theatrical indie pop from eccentric oddballs.

Mid-nineties Californian indie pioneers invent shoegazing rock.

Icelandic visionaries make up their own language.

Like this? Try these:

Occupying a space somewhere between daydreaming and shoegazing, the spectral dream pop of Beach House sees the achingly cool duo of Baltimore native Alex Scally and the French born Victoria Legrand further cementing their indie darling

credentials on album number four.

Like a shinier, more euphoric version of The XX, the distinctly Nico-ish Legrand whispers ambiguous vocals over Scally’s lush guitar and keyboard driven lullabies, flitting around each other like forlorn confetti in a breeze but never quite looking each other in the eye.Described by Legrand as an “abstraction of many feelings”, Bloom has that ethereal quality that is very much in vogue at the moment amongst music fans who like their music cool, and their emotional outpourings ambiguous.

So far so good, but when then the gravitational pull of Beach House’s own weightlessness finally catches up about halfway through and sucks the album into a black hole of blurry repetition, the whole thing veers alarmingly into forgettable dirge territory. Worse, the Arctic chilliness of the album’s veneer means that getting under the skin of it is an effort in itself.

That’s not to say Bloom is boring; Scally’s guitar twinkles like bokeh fairground lights on “Myth”, the glittering “Lazuli” keeps the heart screws firmly tightened, and the anthemic “Wishes” unfolds with a solid guitar hook and booming drums that highlights the tension between the cinematic widescreen soundscapes vs. emotional introspection that underpins the album. Kinda like strolling around on an Icelandic glacier with a blindfold and a pair of thick earmuffs on after being dumped.

Crack through the ice though, and there are plenty of beautiful moments to be had, the only problem is they may not leave much of a lasting impression.

Dan Ashcroft

Mazzy StarAmong My Swan

As one of the best-selling book series in the world and a film trilogy that marked an entire generation, the universe of The Lord of the Rings is back in the forefront. Peter Jackson has made a prequel to

the trilogy with a familiar character from the first film, Bilbo Baggins. If you’re a fan, you’ll be thrilled to re-enter the realm of Middle-Earth and see all the races and beasts in it. Put on your gold ring and scream “my precious!” in the cinema!

Bilbo Baggins adalah seorang Hobbit yang sangat ingin tahu dan berjiwa petualang. Suatu hari dia didatangin oleh penyihir bijak Gandalf dan diminta untuk mengikuti misi untuk mencari harta karun kerajaan kurcaci Erebor yang dicuri oleh sang naga Smaug. Bilbo pun memulai perjalanannya dan bergabung dengan 13 prajurit kurcaci yang dipimpin oleh ksatria legendaris Thorin Oakenshield. Dalam

perjalanan misi mereka ke timur menuju Lonely Mountain, Bilbo bertemu dengan Gollum dan menemukan harta karun milik Gollum, sebuah cincin emas, yang akan mengubah hidupnya dan memegang takdir dari keseluruhan Dunia Tengah mereka.

9 tahun sejak film trilogi The Lord of the Rings dari adaptasi novel karya J.R.R. Tolkien dibuat oleh sutradara Peter Jackson dan meraih penghargaan Oscar, film kali ini berupa prekuel menuju petualangan Frodo yang kita kenal. Masih dengan sinematografi indah dengan segala pemandangan Dunia Tengah khas The Lord of the Rings, dijamin bagi para penggemarnya, kalian akan bernostalgia kembali. Kehadiran beberapa karakter baru yang di trilogi sebelumnya pernah kita kenal namun belum terlihat akan menambah ketertarikan di sisi ceritanya. Bawa pedangmu dan pakai cincin untuk berpetualang di Dunia Tengah yang penuh keajaiban!

If you ever listened to anything the Wu-Tang Clan put out in the their hey day, you’ll know that they were hugely influenced by kung-fu exploitation films in the 70s. Wu-Tang’s ringleader the Rza and Eli Roth (with the blessing of Tarantino) have finally brought the 36 Chambers to life in this hip hop infused kung-fu film full of warriors, assassins, concubines, and a rogue British soldier all hunting for a fabled treasure. Expect over the top awesomeness and an unrivaled soundtrack in this ode to hip hop and kung-fu.

Adapted from one of best-selling Indonesian books, “5 cm” tells the story of five best friends who one day decide to take a three-month break from their friendship and meet up again for an incredible journey and mission to plant the Indonesian national flag on top of highest mountain in Java. Written by the novelist himself, and directed by an acclaimed local director, this film is surely not to be missed by you and your best friends who possess proud nationalism for this country!

Genta, Arial, Zafran, Riani dan Ian adalah lima anak muda yang telah bersahabat sedari kecil. Suatu hari mereka berlima merasa jenuh dengan pertemanan mereka dan memutuskan untuk berpisah tanpa berkomunikasi satu sama lain selama 3 bulan. Selama perpisahan

sementara itu, banyak yang terjadi di kehidupan mereka masing-masing dan kerinduan mempertemukan mereka kembali. Mereka pun merayakan pertemuan kembali dengan sebuah petualangan impian dan penuh tantangan untuk mengibarkan bendera merah putih di puncak tertinggi Jawa di hari kemerdakaan Indonesia.

Diangkat dan diadaptasi dari salah satu novel nasional terlaris di Indonesia dengan judul yang sama, penulis novel aslinya yaitu Donny Dhirgantoro bekerja sama dengan sutradara lokal terkenal kita, Rizal Mantovani untuk membuat film petualangan ini. Di film ini, kita akan disuguhkan dengan pemandangan alam Indonesia di bumi Jawa yang mengagumkan, dan ceritanya juga akan membangkitkan rasa cinta tanah air para anak muda. Kumpulkan para sahabat dekatmu untuk nonton bareng, siapa tahu akan ikut terinspirasi untuk berpetualang bersama!

5 cmIndonesia, Drama, Adventure. Director: Rizal Mantovani. Writer: Donny Dhirgantoro. Cast: Herjunot Ali, Raline Shah, Fedi Nuril, Pevita Pearce, Igor Saykoji, Denny Sumargo.

Sang tukang tempa besi yang diminta oleh para pengkhianat dari klan jahat untuk membuat senjata penghancur pun akhirnya memutuskan untuk membuat senjata di dirinya untuk melindungi para penduduk yang telah menjadi temannya.

Debut pertama dari produser hip-hop terkenal, RZA sebagai sutradara dan juga aktor utama di film bertema silat Cina ini membuat banyak orang penasaran dan bertanya-tanya. Sebagai pemimpin dari grup hip-hop Wu-Tang Clan, RZA memang mempunyai kegemaran tentang film-film silat Cina. Dibawa juga oleh Quentin Tarantino dan andil Eli Roth sebagai penulis yang pernah membuat “Hostel”, film silat kali modern ini akan penuh dengan adegan berdarah bagi para penggemar genre slasher. Hadirnya aktor dan aktris terkenal seperti Russell Crowe dan Lucy Liu pastinya menarik perhatian juga. Siapkan jurus kung-fu dan senjatamu, ikut bertarung!

.comThe Dutch embassy has yet again gone with an exhibition that not only is

artistic but also useful and innovative. Our relationship with nature (food, health, energy, space, time) and economic value has taken a turn for the worst in the last few years and this is because, we as human being, have been messing with universal balances severely.

As we frantically try and gain back some degree of balance we find ourselves being pushed to the limits and in this case architectural limits. The question is if the understanding of architecture has a pivotal role in restoring this balance?

This exhibition is produced by the Netherlands Architecture Institute and details how architecture is able to result in a more sustainable future in developing cities and communities. This exhibition also showcases the involvement and the important role the Dutch are playing in this fight. They hope to inspire a group of future architects and sustainability warriors to innovate and persevere.

Definitely inspiring! Erasmus Huis Jl.H.R.Rasuna Said kav. S-3. Jakarta Indonesia.

Jakarta’s dull city walls were finally given a much needed facelift with the boys and girls from Jerin, who hit the streets of Jalan Blora with their spray cans and

artistic inspirations. The event saw a duet of German and Indonesian artists making the street walls a canvas and turning it into a piece of beauty, adding a lot of good vibes to the area.

The famous Indonesian graffiti artists Darbotz, Wormo, Tutu, Nsane5, Fine Dimension, Kims, Older +, Koma Indo, Bujangan Urban and Name Two worked on a project together with the German Artists Bond, Zebster, Sirius Mo and Steak. There was also a bit of the old oriental feeling as a famous Hong Kong based street artist rocked up and jazzed up the city too.

What was great about this event was that passersby and people from all over were welcomed to try their hand at graffiti art, with the artists doubling up as teachers spreading the value and drive behind an artist’s work. There was a lot of excited faces and the area did look a lot more better at the end of this six-day event. Well done Jerin Jakarta.

Rather packed most lunches and nights already, the casual eatery with a bunch of urban rustic and industrial style features a healthy new-Australian style menu and the whole place wouldn’t be out of place in down town

Melbourne, Sydney or Perth. The chef being Australian goes a long way in explaining this and one of the owners spending a lot of time down there also helps. It’s a fun, buzzing place with loads of atmosphere and great tasting food. No need to wait, get there right now.

The rich flavors of indonesian spices come TogeTher delighTfully aT This senopaTi eaTery.

R empah-Rempah is a restaurant with an entire menu based on traditional family recipes that have been kept and

perfected for generations by a family with a passion for Indonesian food and spices.

It all started in 1945, when a mother from South Tapanuli, an area in North Sumatra, started trying out and perfecting traditional Indonesian recipes that have been in her family for generations. Twenty years later in 1965, she started teaching these recipes to her daughter. This mother and daughter duo then started a catering business in 1975 and their clients at that time mostly came from governmental agencies. Following suggestions from her family after decades of service, the daughter set up this restaurant in 2003. Rempah-Rempah (which means spices in Indonesian), is a tribute to Indonesia’s rich original spices that are used in all its dishes.

My life coach and gossip consultant Clarissa and I chose this restaurant for our lunch destination on one of those all-too-rare slow midweek days

recently. We were in the mood for local food, but wanted to try something slightly out of the ordinary.

The interior is pretty cozy; and while it may look like a modern Indonesian restaurant, some vintage touches were put to remind us of the good old days. An old phone here, a couple of irons there, and there’s even a typical rice grinder from a village. Pictures of Indonesian national heroes decorate the wall, along with a poster explaining the many spices commonly used in traditional cooking. There’s also a corner filled with old school candies, chocolates, and snacks, which transported us to our childhood!

Enough about the place, let’s get into the food! Some Bitter Ballen (22k) started us off nicely. These beef-filled wheat balls are probably more Dutch than Indonesian, but hey, after 350 years in Indonesia, I guess there are some good things that they left behind.

For the main dishes, we chose the Anyang Jantung Pisang (27.5k) or chopped banana flower, with bean sprouts and served with shredded coconut. This dish is close to taste and appearance to that of a West Javanese Urap. The Tauco Udang Tahu (69.9k) was another good choice; soft textured kelong shrimps with tofu and doused in tasty tauco sauce.

We really loved the Ayam Goreng Bumbu Rempah (49k). The fried chicken is covered with some kefir lime and curry leaves, with some special Indonesian spices. This is one highly recommended dish.

How can you go wrong with the Ikan Arsik (79k)? North Sumatra-style carp fish with soft bones, cooked with dozens of spices that just

explodes with flavors. Sweet, sour, spicy blended deliciously in the curry-like sauce.

After all that flavors, some Tape Bakar Keju (24.5k) was a great dessert; grilled fermented cassava, served with cheese and sweet sauce.

Rempah-Rempah also has some great refreshments like the sweet Es Cincau Adem (26k), which is grass jelly combined with palm seeds and coconut, or the refreshingly tropical fruit drink Jus Kemarau Lombok (27.5k); a mix of peach juice with orange, strawberry and creamer.

Another trip to Rempah-Rempah is already in the cards for Clarissa and me. There are many wonderful flavors of Indonesia that needed to be discovered here! See you there? (Budi iskandar)

This idea began with five Melbourne-educated friends who wanted to create a cozy hang

out place with great food that combines the best of Asian and Western flavors. And so The Belly Clan was born.

The warm ambiance of the main dining room welcomes you in, with the semi open kitchen on one side and the well-stocked bar on the other. The white brick walls are juxtaposed neatly with the dark-colored floor and furniture. There’s also a smaller, more intimate dining area should you feel the need for it. The vibe is classy and casual at the same time; sophisticated but never stuffy.

The kitchen is in the capable hands of Executive Chef Hengky Effendy, whose experience speaks for itself. He learned his trade at Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants in London, New York, and Melbourne, and has also worked with celebrity

chefs Josh Emmett and Daniel Bouloud. Now Chef Hengky is bringing his vast expertise to this fine establishment.

The young chef manifests a penchant for blending his Asian roots with Western tastes, and it clearly shows in his signature dishes. With familiar yet exotic elements, these dishes are a wonderful mélange of East and West. Just when you thought you knew your meats and starches, the spicy (not hot) sauces take them to the next level!

We began with a couple of appetizing starters. The Crab Spring Rolls (50k) might look innocent enough, but the superb mango, chili, and coriander salsa gives them an extra lift. What can maybe be described as ‘Korea meets Cabo’, the Korean Beef Tortilla (50k) is a delight; the beef is well marinated with Gojuchang paste, plus some lettuce, sesame seed, sesame oil, and grated Parmesan cheese, wrapped in a flour tortilla wrap.

For the main course, the delicious Orange Yuzu Glazed Chicken (80k) was first to arrive on our table; roasted boneless half chicken, doused with the wonderful yuzu (an aromatic type of orange) and honey sauce, served on a bed of sweet corn.

The Crab Fettuccine (75k) was next; al dente fettuccine pasta smothered with Singapore-style chili crab sauce. And the Wagyu Beef Burger (95k) is another tasty example of East

meets West; the juicy burger is accented with a kimchi kick.

Our personal favorite, though, is the Short Rib “Stockyard” Grain-Fed QLD Angus Cabai Hijau (150k). The green chili sauce has just about the right amount of heat, it complemented the premium quality beef very nicely. Highly recommended!

Of course, we cannot overlook the desserts. Satisfy your sweet cravings with these works of arts: The Bread and Butter Pudding with Butterscotch Sauce (35k) represents security itself; served with crushed pecan, butterscotch sauce and vanilla ice cream, it’s just divine! And the smooth Panna Cotta with Black Sesame Sauce (35k) is another sweet creation that you’ve got to try.

Along with an extensive selection of wines, the bar also offers some sensual concoctions to suit everyone’s tastes. The Belly Mojito (85k) is popular here, but the Golden Monkey (95k), Madame Choo (80k), Great Wall (95k), and Enter Confucius (100k) are definitely worth a sip or two (or more!).

A solid addition to Jakarta’s culinary scene, The Belly Clan has all the potential to become a major player. And the quote from writer Frank McCourt on the wall said it best, “After a full belly, all is poetry”. (Budi iskandar)

i

we slide into December and the festive season, my calendar reveals more than one charity event. From the AIDS

benefit to lunches in aid of orphans and disabled kids, seems like this is the season of giving. So it seems this could be the happiest of all festive seasons.

A country such as this forces you to look at the haves and have nots every day. It’s impossible to ignore the children walking barefoot down the highway with their grubby faces turned hopefully towards you. Although it may be the case sometimes that the charity we dole out to them ends up in the pockets of scammers who are using these kids to profit themselves, it is still so hard not to feel for them. Best to always have some food on you so that at least they can enjoy that before their pick up and share date arrives.

A couple of canny girls who strut the beat outside a local supermarket have struck a winning formula. When people refuse to give money, they ask sweetly for an ice cream. Having the chance to watch these kids one day, I was not surprised to discover they were eating a lot of ice cream. Good on them I thought.

Out shopping with the staff, it’s impossible to ignore their shocked faces when your ham and pate bill adds up to hundreds of thousands, as

much as they spend in a month. While sleek black cars whisper down the main street, how can we ignore the family of five riding on an old motorbike weaving in between?

As new condos get built like Legos and moneyed investors snap them up faster than McDonald’s French fries, people nearby are still ploughing their rice fields by hand for a mere fraction of what the bathroom fittings cost. You don’t have to look far to find someone who lives on little and works hard for it.

It sometimes seems that there are so many events benefitting the poor, the needy, the disabled and disenfranchised, that you can get philanthropic fatigue, but inevitably something will stir you out of it, and it is often not far from your doorstep.

You don’t have to be rich to find something you can give. It’s simple really and giving from your heart is the most important. Next time you buy an ice cream, get a few extra for some local kids, buy an old man a beer, offer up a day or even an hour of your time, be generous in nature, sometimes a smile and a kind word, taking an interest is all that is required to brighten someone’s day.

To really appreciate the festive season of giving, give something that has no strings attached, it really does make you happier. [Sarah D]

They say the source of happiness is being connected and making others happy.
