May 20, 2007 - Fabrics, anyone?

indonesia is known for its the traditional dress called ‘kebaya’. kebaya was used to be identified as an attire worn by someone ‘older’. these days, kebayas are common to be worn by younger generation.. maybe not for their daily attire, but at least we take pride of wearing it, with the blend of the new designs and fashion trends.

the good kebaya is custom-made, tailored to fit to your body. and it’s pretty expensive, at least the good ones are. and quite time consuming.. especially when you have to go to the fabric store and pick which fabric material and color you would choose to make a piece of kebaya. there are plenty of options and it’s no easy task to do, really… tell me, i should know, as i am preparing an event that requires me to provide a lot of fabrics to make for kebayas. and the picture was a result of one of those trips to the store.

January 18, 2007 - Traditional Market

Taken in one of the traditional markets, this particular shop is selling rice. You can buy one big sack or just a few liters.

November 13, 2006 - Ambassador Mall

Here’s another mall in the Kuningan area. Ambassador Mall. Not sure why they picked that name. I think the ad on that building looks pretty cool. Don’t you think? 

Out of topic from today’s post: Are you into politic discussions? There are many protests going on in Jakarta right now due to George Bush’s visit. Here’s a not-so-serious-politic-discussion presented by Indonesia Anonymous. Quite a few interesting references as well.

Also, Eric from Paris Daily Photo asked about the bombing in Jakarta and yesterday I couldn’t find any online news about it. But I have it today. The incident happened quite far from where I live.
