Malang Region Square (Alun-Alun Kota Malang) - Historical Site Now and Then

Malang has so many tourist attraction, one of them is the Malang City Square. Situated at the middle of the city, surrounded by Masjid Jami (Grand Mosque) on western part, some of department stores, commercial buildings and Bupati (head of the region) office on the eastern part, Malang Post Office on Southern part and another department stores on northern part. This actually an old concept of a city project initiated on most of Javanese cities.

After serious renovation, now the face of Malang Square (Alun-Alun) has changed a lot, different from the old one from the Dutch Colonial era.

Up Close And Personal - Interview With Model Sebastian Brice

I'm very lucky to be that I could make this new interview session with Sebastian Brice. I spotted him to be very popular for Burberry show, and some video I watched for Z Zegna campaign. Still interested to continue reading? I'll show you here.. 

............................................

1. How did you start your modeling career?

I was scouted on holiday with my girlfriend in Amsterdam. Just walking down the street, Jorma from Republic Men agency in Amsterdam approached me and encouraged me to get in touch with Models 1. I'd never imagined it was something I could do, but my girlfriend convinced me to follow it up. I was a bit worried it was a scam or something.

2. How do you share your time between modeling and band?

It's difficult because modelling jobs are usually last minute.. you might get confirmed for a job the day before the shoot. It makes it difficult to plan gigs, studio time, rehearsals. But it seems to work out somehow!

Last week I went to Surabaya. My plan was to go to Malang, but I miss the train because I'm too busy to get these pictures. The old city Surabaya was celebrating its 719th anniversary last day. If you go to Northern Surabaya, you'll find many old buildings. Here goes some example of Dutch Colonial style preserve in this part. These pictures I got from my journey around Jembatan Merah to Veteran street, then to Stasiun Kota street. Next time I'll try to get more pictures for the city tour around old city Surabaya.

The 13th Majapahit Travel Fair 2012 - Postcards From Nepal

Few days ago, when I went to Grand City Mall, Surabaya, I found some eye catching stand on the corner. Yes, it's the Nepal representative. Met my new friend Raju and Tsewang, both are monk in Kathmandu. They explain to me how the life of Nepal people. Very humble people, their life is simple, different with the people in most city in the world. Nepal is a religious country, people of Nepal don't have much ambition in their life, most of them serve their God. Raju himself, told me he wannabe a master. His ambition only be a teacher for his religion. That's why, Nepalians seem to be one of the happiest people in the world. To show you about my last journey, here some of the souvenir that I got from the Majapahit Travel Fair exhibition. Enjoy.. :)

100th Anniversary of Titanic

This is maybe out of theme, but I really love everything about Titanic and all mysteries around it. Titanic sank at her maiden voyage with great loss, many of her passengers drown with her. The wreckage now lay on the ocean floor, but the memories of it everlasting in our mind. It was 15 April 1912 when Titanic sank, the biggest ship of her time with four funnels split and drown to the ocean floor of frigid Atlantic. We might think why Captain Smith increase her speed while he knew they were heading to the iceberg area. Is that something stupid or naive while he's a very experienced captain? And why the distress calls were answered by the furthest ship, while the closest one ignore these? And why only 16 lifeboats with 4 collapsible only on Titanic deck with stupid reason of aesthetic?

The Blue Hope, the real jewel of Louis of France.

We all know on James Cameron's movie Titanic, Carl gave Rose a rare and expensive blue diamond that was called, Le coeur de la mer, or Heart of the Ocean. Is this Blue Hope look like the diamond's mentioned on movie? Yes indeed. This one actually Louis XIV's necklace, and this blue diamond was stolen during the French Revolution, then found and cut into two pieces. The most popular was this cut, the Blue Hope. But this diamond wasn't thrown to the sea by Rose. Some people believe that this diamond was cursed, because many of the owners of this have misfortune end of life.

 

 

I think that's a little bit story that I know from Titanic. For me it's always fascinating to talk about these. I wrote this to commemorate the 100th of Titanic maiden voyage. It's amazing that it's been century ago Titanic sank. They said Titanic is unsinkable, in my mind.. her memories are the unsinkable ones..

Cool Stuff - Painted Shoes

Found some cool stuff to show you.. Wish to find more interesting stuffs like these another day..

Topeng Malangan - Malangese Mask

Topeng Malang (Malang Mask) is one of the cultural heritage of Malang city. Mask in Javanese culture known as a medium to call the ancestor's spirit, and also a property for dance arts. On the history record, the use of mask as art property has begun at 760, at the time of Gajayana Kingdom. This art appeared since Mpu Sindok's era. The first mask was made of gold, known as Puspo Sariro (Flower from the deepest heart). This mask used as symbol for ancestor's spirit worship by the king of Gajayana to his father, Dewa Sima.   

The arts of Topeng Malang very popular around 1930, under protection from Malang regent at that time, R.A.A. Soerioadiningrat. Because of political reason at around 1965, Topeng Malang lost its existence and only left in a region of Kedungmonggo village, in Pakisaji subregion of Malang. Here some of Topeng Malang that still exist now.
