Let’s Back to Batik
Yesterday, I have a time to hanging around the mall at Lippo karawaci, Tangerang. It’s been so amazing looking at the dress that’s trend in fashion world on the retail shop. There’s a Batik here, There’s a batik there and batik again all over the Mall. Well its make me proud enough because nowadays people have already forgot about that beautiful culture heritage who already dipatenkan by Malaysia. One step behind and feel so cheated.
Batik is one of Java's famous and highly developed art traditions, batik is an important industry in many production centers in Java. It is a proof that the people of Java do love the products, long time ago created by their ancestors. Batik designed materials are clearly seen as women traditional dresses, shirts, sarongs, bags, hats, table-cloths, napkins, painting and decorative items, etc, with traditional color of brown, call sogan, indigo and blue or more colorful ones.
The tourist who visits Indonesia adore of this beautiful motif product. The motifs of Batik, especially with old pattern, as in other field of Javanese tradition are symbolizing something. Some of the motifs are :
1. Sido Mulyo :
Symbolizing 'you should be happy and rich man'.
2. Sido Dadi :
Symbolizing 'you should be a man/woman as you
3. Satrio Wibowo :
Symbolizing 'Man with dignity'.
4. Tikel Asmorodono :
It is meant the one who wears this batik, should be loved more and more by others.
5. Sidomukti, symbolizing a happiness and prosperous life. Using the same motif symbolizing the togetherness. In a wedding ceremony the bride and the bridegroom wear the same motif of batik
6. Truntum, symbolizing the advice of the parents to the newly weds to enter the new life with full of love and confidence.
Although the motif that now in the marketplace are not the old motif but at least we still love our country’s production of batik. Maybe this is the way of the cloth designer to celebrate the national awakening of Indonesia. Long Live Indonesia.

I’m so excited to have a chance to participate and join them to have a discussion about education generally and about The comparation study of education an Indonesia and Malaysia. The keynotes speakers are : The National Minister of Education (Prof. Dr. Bambang Sudibyo), Dr. jamil Ahmad from University Kebangsaan Malaysia, Noorlia Goolamally from Open University Malaysia, Mr. Syafik Umar (General manager Of Pikiran Rakyat Newspaper), and of course some others education expert from STKIP Pasundan College, Bandung.

The most interesting is about how we’re teachers in Indonesia feel lucky to have a chance to talk to the Minister of Education directly. Most of us are complained about the Public Policy of The Teachers Sertification. About its selection, its compensation and some other things who had a connection with the wealthy stuffs. Not forget to talk about The National Examination for student that really really makes us so confuse and don’t know what to do. But The Minister, as usual can not make us satisfied because of the special way of bureaucrat answering public question. But it’s OK. That’s just the way they are.
Bravo to the committee who had really successful in building the program. They are the students of STKIP Pasundan. Well Young generation, the country is waiting……..

OOOhhh, Not AGAIN….
PayPerPost is unable to approve my blog again. It’s because that the hosting doesn’t allow paid blog in their term and condition. Maybe that’s just my fault. I don’t give any attention too much in reading all about the Wordpress. But, I’m not giving up. I have my six days old blogspot again for my English blog. I just can’t wait until its 30 days old so I can try to register my blog again to payperpost. I do optimize that they will approve my http:/endstwin.blogspot.com. Well, at least I hope so.
