The last month of 2010 is finally upon us. But before we say goodbye to the year of the tiger we still have to finish off the final month of December. Like we mentioned last

edition, the number of major events have slowed downed this month, but the number of small events still scatter the Jakarta night life scene, so you’ll be very unlucky to ever feel bored in this megapolitan city. The big durian still seems to be plagued by traffic jams, with no solution to end this matter. It seems to be worse than ever nowadays. The solution to the matter seems to only be leaving two hours earlier than what you used to do. Whatever the case, rest assured TBJ will always keep you up-to-date on the goings on of Jakarta’s entertainment scene. Party On Jakarta, and remember to keep your wallets full for the legions of event headed on New Years.

Bulan terakhir dari 2010 telah menghampiri kita. Tetapi sebelum kita berpamitan dengan tahun harimau, kita masih harus lalui bulan Desember. Seperti kita angkat

edisi lalu, jumlah event besar pada penghujung tahun sepertinya tidak ada, tetapi event-event berskala kecil tetap meramaikan kancah dunia night life, jadi bila Anda sampai merasa bosan di kota megapolitan ini, sungguh malang sekali nasib Anda. Masalah kemacetan yang kian mewabah ibu kota tercinta, semakin hari semakin mengkhawatirkan dan sepertinya ampai sekarang pemerintah gagal dalam mengatasi masalah ini. Sepertinya satu-satunya solusi sekarang adalah berangkat dua jam lebih awal dari biasanya. Walaupun kemacetan menghantui Anda, janganlah cemas, TBJ akan tetap selalu memberi informasi terkini berhubungan dengan dunia entertainment Jakarta. Party On Jakarta, dan ingat untuk menyisikan disi dompet untuk menghadapi berbagai acara tahunbaru yang akan menghujani Jakarta pada malam tahun baru.

Bright andThings

in DecemberBy Erza S.T.

AllBeautiful

| 041beatmag.com

On the upcoming 5th of December 2010, the renowned Jakarta Chamber Orchestra with the award-winning choir Batavia Madrigal Singers under Avip

Priatna as conductor will perform various works from John Rutter for both orchestra and choir. As a classical music lover, I find this upcoming program very exciting, especially since they are going to perform ‘Gloria’ cantata that was first premiered by Rutter himself in 1974 at the Witherspoon Hall of the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha Nebraska. The composition, commissioned by Olson’s Voices of Mel Olson chorale, has become a much-performed favourite over the years. Rarely performed in Jakarta, I believe this glorious cantata will tantalize your music buds.

Those of you who are not aware of John Rutter’s music might find that his music is rather eclectic with influences of the French and English choral traditions of the early 20th century. His compositions are chiefly choral and include Christmas carols, anthems and extended works such as Gloria, Magnificat and Requiem. One of Rutter’s beloved works is ‘Feel The Spirit’ – a cycle of seven spirituals arranged for chorus, mezzo-soprano soloist and orchestra. Rutter came up with the idea after hearing Melanie Marshal’s solo interpretations of spirituals in her recitals. He thought that her artistry in this area of song would be just as effective in the fuller context of choir and orchestra. Together they chose seven of their favourite spirituals and ended up with ‘Joshua Fit The Battle’, ‘Steal Away’, ‘I Got A Robe’, ‘Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child’, ‘Every Time I Feel The Spirit’, ‘Deep River’ and a rousing rendition of ‘When The Saints Go Marching In’. Aside from ‘Gloria’ and ‘Feel The Spirit’, Avip Priatna together with his chamber orchestra and Batavia Madrigal Singers will also perform other interesting composition by Rutter such as ‘Suite for Strings’, ‘5 Sacred Music’ and ‘3 Meditation for The Orchestra’. Avip who chose Aula Simfonia for its superb acoustics as the concert venue, invited two

guest baritone soloists: Teddy Panelewen and Hari Santosa to make this concert more exciting.

Though John Rutter seems to enjoy composing and conducting religious music, he told the US television program 60 Minutes in 2003 that he was not particularly a religious man, yet still deeply spiritual and inspired by the spirituality of sacred verses and prayers. Unfortunately due to his illness from chronic fatigue syndrome, which restricted his output, this living composer stopped writing music to commission, as he was unable to guarantee meeting deadlines. This is why you have to make sure not to miss this concert, especially since it is quite rare to have a concert with all John Rutter’s work in Jakarta. His music is great therapy for your soul and will surely bring you bright and beautiful feelings.

Gosh! It is December again already and this is the season to be jolly. I can already feel the Christmas spirit slowly starting to appear in the shopping malls and at private residences. It is the time to prepare a great celebration of faith for all Christians. Well, that and beautiful Christmas decorations and caroling. Let us fire up the spirit through great music... Let’s kick off the first half of December with the works of John Rutter.

Sosok yang lebih dulu tenar di klub malam serta jazirah disc jockey, DJ Ai, baru saja melebarkan sayap. Dengan mengusung jati

diri via penambahan klan keluarga di belakang namanya, Ai Tumbuan, ia baru saja di awal November ini merilis mini album bertajuk New Religion.

Menurut mantan suami Aline Aldita ini New Religion berkisah soal sepucuk keindahan, harapan dan optimisme dari dirinya. “Bahasa musik adalah bahasa yang general. Bahasa yang tanpa harus diterjemahkan dapat dimengerti oleh semua orang,” tambahnya.

Gubahan berisikan 4 tembang ini mengusung “Silent Starlight” (featuring Ariyo Wahab) sebagai single pertama serta “Believe” (featuring Syvash) menjadi single kedua. Sedikit berbeda ketika ia tampil nge-DJ, kedua lagu tadi cenderung nge-pop, romantis sekaligus easy listening. Sementara kedua lagu lainnya, “Angel of Morning” (featuring Fla Sparkling Saint) serta “Summertime Love” (featuring Syvash) justru lebih dinamis, upbeat, plus club-friendly.

Lewat kerjasama dengan perusahaan rekaman Nagaswara, Ai Tumbuan, pria yang sempat berkiprah di belakang deck lumayan lama di Belanda ini mengungkapkan niatnya memperkenalkan “agama baru” dengan mengajak bercakap-cakap,

A guy who’s already got his fame in the club circuit, DJ Ai is developing his career by releasing his debut mini album ‘New Religion’, which was just released in early November 2010 under Nagaswara Records.

Using a different identity, Ai Tumbuan has composed four songs for his debut album. Two of them are romantic pop and easy listening, ‘Silent Starlight’ (first single, ft. Ariyo Wahab) and ‘Believe’ (second single, ft. Syvash); while the other two, ‘Angel of Morning’ (ft. Fla Sparkling Saint) and ‘Summertime Love’ (ft. Syvash), are more dynamic, upbeat, and club-friendly.

Stay religious and informed by checking out his MySpace page: www.myspace.com/aitumbuan

Kalimat barusan merupakan analogi paling mudah dicerna dalam menggambarkan album perdana Kelelawar Malam, Kelelawar Malam

yang baru saja terbit Oktober lalu. Berisikan 12 lagu seram-mencekam, gubahan ini divisualisasikan bak buku cerita bertaburan syair gelap/ngeri/terkutuk karya Sayiba Von Mencekam (biduan, gitar) yang terinspirasi film-film horor Indonesia kelas B, dipadukan dengan artwork mistis-suram hasil kerja Deta Beringas (bas, vokal), serta didukung Fahri Al-Maut (gitar, vokal latar), dan Apin Kiamat (drum). Lagu-lagunya sendiri deskriptif lagi kronologis berkisah mengenai fakta brutal berdarah, pula rupa-rupa mitos dan legenda yang terlanjur merasuk di lorong-lorong kelam benak masyarakat. Sebut misalnya “Malam Terkutuk” yang menyoroti ritual pembakaran penyihir, “Malam Mencekam” (pembunuhan berantai), “Palu Keadilan” (kebangkitan manusia di Padang Mashar), “Malam Jumat Kliwon” (kuntilanak), “Bangkit Dari Kubur” (pocong), “Ratu Kegelapan” (ratu penguasa lautan).

Sementara jenis musik yang diusung lumayan variatif—dengan rock sebagai benang merahnya—berkisar di sekitar punk rock, heavy metal, stoner rock, balada serta delta blues, alias tak jauh-jauh dari selera masing-masing personelnya.

Kelelawar Malam sendiri bangkit dari kubur pada 2008 akibat obsesi berlebih Sayiba dan Deta terhadap grup horror-punk asal Amerika Serikat, Misfits, serta film-film Suzanna. Duo ini lalu membentuk tribute band Misfits. Namun, di perjalanan, faktor penguasaan alat yang duhai terbatas, ditambah dengan kemalasan menghapal lirik serta ogah-ogahan mengulik chord gitar Misfits, efektif memaksa mereka untuk mulai mengarang tembang sendiri yang akhirnya malah memunculkan karakter unik, ultra berbeda dibanding dengan grup musik lainnya di Nusantara.

Jadi, terhitung sejak sekarang, silakan isi tiap malam Jumat Kliwon Anda dengan ritual mencekam: menyimak Kelelawar Malam sambil menaburi nisan www.myspace.com/kelelawarmalam dengan kembang tujuh rupa…

___________________

Here comes Indonesia’s scariest band: Kelelawar Malam. Featuring Sayiba Von Terkutuk (vocals, guitar), Deta Beringas (bass, vocals), Fahri Al-Maut (guitar, backing vocals), and Apin Kiamat (drums), their debut album titled ‘October’ was released (appropriately enough) in October.

The album consists of 12 songs with the central theme of horror stories and urban legends, and dabbles around punk rock, heavy metal, stoner rock, ballads, and delta blues.

The band was founded in 2008 due to Sayiba and Deta’s dual obsession with the American horror-punk band the Misfits, and their love of Indonesian horror b-movies. Sayiba then wrote the lyrics and Deta did the artwork.

Wonderful Wow Worthy Worthless Worm Fodder

After three years spent gradually fading away, electric duo EGRV have pulled their chairs up to the table of fame again, this time with a rich tech-electro jaunt for both the glam crowd and indie ears. Adie Habibie and Lawrence Widarto have cooked it well with danceable electric, groove-tronic urban tunes, midi riot, and some deep disco concern in the kitchen. Tracks like Stars On 45, You’re So Amazing, Drama Queen, and I Know That You’re Lookin’ Over Here are something big for any night out, but are equally perfect to fill in your living room with some music with plenty of smart energy.

The Followill brothers ride a different horse into town with every different album. These arena rock soldiers present a gracefully slower run this time on the tunes and distortion, perhaps because of the heavier lyric content and subject matter, or maybe the boys just want to loosen up for more beers and supermodels. Definitely not as chart-friendly as previous album Only by the Night, but the formula is a soul-bearer for anyone’s hard day’s night, or an amusement for southern rock fans. First single on the album ‘Radioactive’ is superbly atmospheric and most likely to become the hit track of the album, especially the choir remix. A worthy addition to the Kings canon, but something tells me it’s not quite the follow up the record execs were hoping for... What do they know though, anyway?

Join the Pevensies back to Narnia in 3D, Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis on an hilarious road trip to LA, and two people as they escape from an alien-infected zone! Get it all at www.blitzmegaplex.com only!

Ini adalah satu dari sedikit film yang lewat posternya saja sudah bisa membuat kita buru-buru kepengin mengantri tiket. Tampang konyol Robert Downey Jr. dan Zach Galifianakis (Si Orang Aneh di The Hangover) ditambah teks besar yang menjelaskan bahwa film dibuat oleh Todd Phillips (sutradara The Hangover) sudah cukup menjanjikan tingkat kejenakaan yang parah, sekaligus cerita yang kuat.

Ceritanya, seorang arsitek (Robert Downey Jr.) mesti buru-buru pulang ke Los Angeles dari Atlanta untuk mendampingi istrinya (Michelle Monaghan) yang

mau melahirkan. Sialnya, ia bertemu dengan orang asing pembawa celaka di bandara udara, yaitu Ethan (Galifianakis). Gara-gara kelakuan Ethan, mereka berdua ditendang keluar dari dalam pesawat, dan mau tidak mau harus menempuh jalan darat untuk ke Atlanta. Mereka berdua pun bersama-sama menggunakan mobil menempuh perjalanan selama sekitar lima hari, di mana kelucuan-kelucuan terjadi.

Pola The Hangover tampak terulang di film ini, namun kehadiran nama-nama seperti Jamie Foxx dan Juliette Lewis tentu memberi nilai lebih. Film komedi dewasa yang cocok buat ketawa-ketawa di akhir pekan!

Due Date

AComedy. Director: Todd Phillips. Writers: Alan R. Cohen, Alan Freedland. Cast: Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis, Michelle Monaghan, Jamie Foxx.

What could go wrong with The Hangover director doing another road movie with Zach Galifianakis AND Robert Downey Jr.? Due Date may sound like a repeat of The Hangover, but hey, who would mind right? Downey is an architect who needs to get to LA from Atlanta to be by his wife’s side as she delivers their firstborn. Things get chaotic in the airport thanks to Galifianakis’s crazy stunts. The two guys are denied from the flight, and have to stick together on a road trip to LA. Things only get better from here as they meet Jamie Foxx and Juliette Lewis along the way... a perfect weekend flick!

Desember berarti kembali ke Narnia. Anak-anak Sekolah Minggu dan orang-orang tuanya pun langsung membanjiri bioskop. Hebatnya, kisah petualangan karya C.S. Lewis ini bisa dinikmati siapa saja. Sutradara Michael Apted (Amazing Grace, The World is Not Enough) mengambil alih kendali dari Andrew Adamson yang menyutradarai dua film Narnia yang pertama. Dan, sesuai dengan kisah aslinya, karakter Peter dan Susan Pevensie pun tidak disertakan dalam kisah kali ini.

Saat menjalani masa liburan yang membosankan bersama sepupu mereka yang menyebalkan, Lucy dan Edmund Pevensie secara

tidak sengaja menemukan “pintu” yang membawa mereka masuk ke dunia Narnia. Sepupu mereka, Eustace, terbawa serta ke Narnia. Di sana, mereka bergabung dengan teman lama mereka, Caspian, yang dulu adalah seorang pangeran namin sekarang sudah jadi raja. Caspian tengah berada dalam sebuah misi untuk mencari dan menyelamatkan tujuh orang ksatria Narnia. Lucy dan Edmind beserta Eustace pun membantu Caspian. Kisah ini jadi lebih seru dan hidup karena dibawakan dalam format 3D!

Hello, Sunday Schoolers ... it’s time to go back to Narnia. No, this time Peter and Susan Pevensie are not joining us - just Edmund and Lucy on their dreary holiday with a mean spirited cousin named Eustace. It’s not that bad since they accidentally find a portal to bring them back to Narnia, where they will join King Caspian’s quest to find the seven lost Lords of Narnia. And, you know what ... the adventure is in 3D! Happy holiday!

Monsters

Drama, Thriller, Fantasy. Writer/Director: Gareth Edwards. Cast: Scoot McNairy, Whitney Able.

Percuma berusaha mengingat-ingat nama-nama pembuat dan pemain film ini karena mereka sama sekali “bukan siapa-siapa”. Monsters jadi film penting karena budget untuk membuat film ini terhitung kecil luar biasa, yaitu sekitar US$ 15 ribu saja. Begitupun, kisah yang memikat dan jalinan cerita yang kuat membuat Monsters jadi pujaan para kritikus dan bahan gunjingan masyarakat film dunia.

Idenya sederhana saja. Enam tahun yang lalu, alien datang dan terdampar di Mexico. Amerika pun lantas mendirikan tembok tinggi untuk melindungi diri mereka dari serangan alien yang mengerikan ini. Ada turis perempuan yang terjebak di Mexico, dan ayahnya yang kaya raya mengutus seorang jurnalis untuk menjemputnya. Pertentangan karakter antar kedua individu ini membuat perjalanan mereka menarik. Berbagai kesulitan menimpa mereka sementara konflik emosional antara mereka berdua pun membuat suasana semakin tegang.

Monsters bukanlah film makhluk luar angkasa biasa. Kisah antara kedua manusia yang berusaha menyelematkan diri ini jadi makanan utama, sementara lonjakan aksi melawan monster-monster itu pun cukup menjadi latar belakang saja. Begitupun, film ini jauh dari membosankan karena atmosfir yang mengenaskan sekaligus menegangkan terus menyertai perkembangan hubugan antara si turis dan si jurnalis. Belum lagi, perenungan tentang hakekat manusia serta kebijakan-kebijakan Ameria Serikat yang terlalu sibuk melindungi diri sendiri juga ikut disampaikan lewat film ini. Rugi kalau tidak ditonton di bioskop!

Six years ago, gigantic aliens crashed in Mexico. Since then, the US has built a great wall to protect the border. A cynical journalist is sent by a rich American to pick up his daughter in Mexico. The journey of these two different people is made rich with twists, subtle tension, eerie atmosphere, and creepy ambience. Monsters was made with a budget as low as US$ 15,000, but has gained positive reviews from movie critics all around the world. It is not your average alien movie, but rather a drama with many things to ponder, and a careful study of human behavior. An excellent movie that is surely not to be missed!

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts started in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA in 1937. Premium quality doughnuts (or donuts) are their thing, and the Original Glazed is their masterpiece. I know many people that swear that it is the best in the world.

Although simple, they’re far from plain. When warm, there’s nothing like them. They are really the original melt-in-your-mouth doughnuts.

So far Krispy Kreme has more than 450 outlets all over the world including the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Mexico, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and also Indonesia. They made their way to Indonesia on August 30th, 2006, opening their first store in Pondok Indah Mall 2.

Other than the Original Glazed, Krispy Kreme has many other doughnuts to choose from. The Glazed Cruller is on some people’s number one list. It is also one of my personal

DOUGHNUTS

I’ve always had fond memories of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. I remember when I was a university student in the US, I often found myself stopping by their counter on campus for one or two doughnuts while running to class in the morning. I remember being hit by the wonderful aroma of freshly-made doughnuts when I walked in the door; and with the accompaniment of hot coffee, it was an invigorating start to many of my days. I think I was actually jumping for joy when I heard that Krispy Kreme opened their first store in Indonesia!

favourites, as with the Veneto Tiramisu, a rich and tasty treat combo of fluffy doughnut and Tiramisu cake. Other highlights include Lovely Dovey, Chocolate Iced Sprinkles, Cinnamon Fritter, Manhattan Oreo, etc. They really know how to please the crowd! The Original Glazed doughnuts are selling for 6k each, or 53k for a dozen. The other varieties of doughnuts are 7.8k each and 69.5k for a dozen.

Their Mini Doughnuts are also winning the hearts of the customers, especially with the young ones. In December 2009, their Mini Doughnuts were launched in conjunction with the movie “Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs”. Adding to their lines of Minis, Krispy Kreme recently came up with a line of Mini Cheese Doughnuts. The ones you should try are the new Cheese Out Loud (cream cheese, shredded cheese, with a touch of caramel), Blueberry Cheese (cheese, with a dash of blueberry), Mocha Cheese (cappuccino flavour, cheese), and Snowwhite (cream cheese, shredded cheese). And for those who prefer a touch of savoury on their doughnuts, go for the BBQ Oregano Cheese (cream cheese, BBQ flavor, oregano). Good things do come in small packages - a dozen of the Minis are priced at 46.8k, and 65k for 20.

So, go treat yourself with an Original Glazed Doughnut (or any other tasty treats) from Krispy Kreme and make your day special. For the ultimate experience, I recommend getting the freshly made ones - like eating a soft, warm piece of love. Really.

OENPAO

Oenpao is now a much-loved home grown Asian restaurant which produces quality dishes throughout its outlets. For me, going

there is always fun. It feels like a mini-trip to several countries. There is something for everyone; Chinese food, Japanese, Singaporean, Malaysian, and of course Indonesian, among with plenty of other tasty grub.

We recently visited their 20th outlet in the suburb of Bintaro. The place is roomy and pleasant, and right away you can see the red brick wall and wooden furniture, ever present in every Oenpao restaurant. If you’re feeling alfresco, you will enjoy their patio area which is also spacious and comfy.

Oenpao is a chain of restaurants specializing in Asian food. Founded

by Mr. Dian Mustika and his wife Lia, Oenpao started in 2005 at

Bumi Serpong Damai, Tangerang. The name Oenpao is taken from

Mrs. Mustika’s maiden name (Oen) combined with the Chinese word

for bread (pao).

Jl. MH Thamrin no. 8,Sektor 7, Bintaro Jaya,

Tangerang Selatan

Opened on September 5th, 2010, we can tell this branch of Oenpao has become a popular eatery in Bintaro area. It was a weeknight, but there were quite a number of customers there. And having a free wi-fi certainly helps. We saw quite a number of people with laptops browsing the net while enjoying their meals.

Now to the food. We started with their dim sum dishes. We sampled the popular chicken siomay, shrimp siomay, hakau, and also the chicken feet dim sum. At around 15k per dish, they are a good way to start out your meal. Another one worth mentioning is the very affordable yet tasty chicken porridge (Bubur Ayam) - great bang for your buck for just Rp 10,000! Since they are open daily from 6 am, these are the dishes of choice for the early birds on weekdays and mostly on weekends.

Next up, we ordered the Hainan rice with roast duck (36k). It is one of their best sellers here, and it’s easy to see why. The rice is fragrant and the imported Peking duck is cooked to perfection. We also went for the delicious seafood curry noodle (31k). The spice is manageable, and the generous topping of seafood is a good crowd-pleaser.

As for beverages, we suggest trying their lassis (20k). You can choose among apple, guava, or mango lassi. They are all refreshingly tasty. The ever-popular teh tarik (16k) is also one of the highlights at Oenpao.

There are simply too many items to mention here, but we can honestly say that the Oenpao brand succeeds with bringing consistently good food and efficient service, at prices that are fair and reasonable. You can go to any of their outlets, but we think the Bintaro one is well worth the trip.

Kraton auguste soesastro, simplicity at its best

styleKraton is a fashion house based in New York City, founded by Auguste Soesastro. Auguste was born in Indonesia but spent a big part of his childhood traveling around the globe. He worked as a curator in Australia for Indonesian arts, specializing in antiques and regional textiles and costumes. He held a degree in Film and Digital Arts from the Australian National University and later studied Fashion at the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture in Paris, France. He interned at some major haute couture houses during his studies in Paris, and later moved to New York to work for Ralph Rucci, an American couturier. Then he freelanced as a pattern maker at some American high-end leading designers before finally launching his own line in 2008.

On this year’s Jakarta Fashion Week, we got the chance to see firsthand the creations of Auguste Soesastro.

It was held on the last day of JFW 10/11. By that time, I had seen all kinds of designs, cuts, silhouettes in all kinds of fabrics and colors, added with a wide variety of detailing and embellishments. So when the first face of Kraton models came out, which was Paquita Widjaya, I was surprised to see how simple the outfits were. Then more models came and every one of them was wearing the same basic items of blazers, pants, pleated skirts and some modern kebaya worn with kain wrapped around the models’ wait. It wasn’t until I got to see the models up close that I realized how beautifully done every single piece of the collection was. It was clear that Auguste paid great attention to detail on the structure of his outfits, which he said he sewed all by himself. The items were in muted colors such as pink, beige and grey, but the models were wrapped in gorgeous traditional kain such as Songket Nagara from Bali and Songket Pandai Sikek from Sumatera Barat. Those embroidered shawls were enough to give life to the classic outfits. I also love how the models were styled in the simplest way, with their hair tied up in neat buns, wearing big glasses and some of them were even holding a book! It was truly Librarian geeky chic which made me want to run to the nearest shop to get a pair of plastic framed glasses myself.

Without making unnecessary statements, the wearers of Kraton’s collection will certainly be the most stylish in the room. These are items you want to keep in your closet because you can wear them any time during any season as they are timeless and classic.

Hadiprana art CentreIf your kids have caught the art bug, and you’re wondering where you can take them to release their inner Van Gogh, why not take them to Hadiprana Art Centre, which can transformer them into pint sized Picasso’s. This art centre has no signboard outside, but your eyes will be quick to catch the lively burst of colors bursting through the glass walls. A play area and rows of art supplies greet you as you walk through the door and to the back you can find the classrooms.

The classes that are available teach those from 2-3 years, 4-6 years, 5-12 years, 8-14 years, and 15 years and above with each class having around 8 to 10 students. Classes for children above 8 years old paint on canvases. If you have a teen trying to create a portfolio for themselves, they can join this class, where the teaching tends to be a little more serious.

The class for 2-3 years are located next to the playroom, where kids can nap, read, color in and spend time playing with other kids. This class usually has an assistant teacher – parents and nannies aren’t allowed to stay in the classrooms, to encourage i n d e p e n d e n c e . Students aged 2 to 12 study in 90-minute classes, while older students have two-hour sessions.

Every year, Hadiprana holds a children’s painting festival and exhibition, where kids can paint together and sell their works. They also participated in last Augusts’ Bazaar Art Jakarta at Pacific Place.

Support, faith and acceptance of Bali’s art community as well as the public have become a valuable asset for Hanna Artspace to expand their ventures to the nation’s capital.

You now feel a strong pull towards something new and different in your life. Not only do you have a better chance of success, but the fun and enthusiasm is infectious. If you are given a chance be sure to make the most of it, with dedication you'll have success. A newcomer may stir your interest in a particular subject or will reignite an old flame. If you are determined to make your mark and impress others, take care of your image. If you have been feeling emotionally neglected or physically isolated, expect the void to be filled. You are emerging from an emotional cloud and, with Venus in your sign, will enjoy harmony and happiness. Something that was not to your liking could take on a new slant, when you realise the full potential of the offer.

There may be an urge to live in the moment and be less inclined to worry about trivial issues. You will be happiest when you feel loved and needed, hence you should mix with people who hold you in high regard. Present time will boost your ego and enthusiasm, and a venture you start will be both successful and satisfying. If you feel young at heart, it suggests that a night out is the ideal setting for locking eyes with your lover. The energy is fairly light-hearted and you will fare better if you skim the surface of the situation. Creativity and colours are sure to grab your eye and you will do something wonderful with them. If you feel emotionally isolated or physically tried, indulge yourself and nurture your own needs.

Uncertainty and delays have several advantages, they finally enable you to get to the bottom of complex problem. Your wisdom and foresight can be used in positive ways by passing on advice to others or avoiding past mistakes. A twist of fate or common sense decision helps to make your life easier or happier. If you've been bewildered about something or someone, you'll feel more certain about what action to take. Your self-awareness is finely tuned and you have the ability to pull ideas, resolutions and tactics out of the air. You will want to get ahead and will figure quick and clever ways to get around things. Take your time when it comes to making important decisions, as you will need to be comfortable with the outcome.

You may discover that your suspicions, fears or worries were unfounded and your anxiety levels will plummet. Pause and reflect on aspects of your life that need to be developed or improved. It may be time to mention something that you've been keeping to yourself. You will be feeling stronger and more able to communicate. Your intuition will be spot-on, so use it to sort out any issues that have recently held you back, or confused you. A window of opportunity is about to open, allowing you to expand on an idea or network with new people. There may be some doubters to deal with, but you will put forward a convincing plan or argument. People you enjoy spending time with bring you out of your shell and validate the choices you made.

Financially, no matter how much opposition there may be to your ideas, you will persevere and succeed in achieving your ways. A perfect time to examine financial and investment strategies and review situations. Respectively, you have a chance to put your talent and intelligence to the test in boosting your financial income. There is a lot of interesting and invigorating information available to you to build up on your finances. Follow your financial instincts without being distracted, as something exciting could happen to influence an important financial decision. Your changeable attitude and ability to see how fortunes are being made will lead to very successful decisions.

Don’t let emotional matters hold you back. Focus on where the money is and how you can make more of it. A sudden change in a partnership may surprise you, but the end result will be to your advantage. Refine your thoughts, review current obligations and consult with close ones about future financial situations. Financially stop talking about what you want to do and start doing things to increase your wealth. Use this period to study situations that can open new doors to opportunities for you financially. Your ideas will be on grand scale, but your means and abilities to carry them out may not be enough. Don’t make a commitment just yet. You will discover that you are worth more and may be able to get the same results on your own.

Capricorn

You'll be highly tuned to the material world and you will also have a greater awareness of your body's needs at this time. This period begins with you resolving to make more money and achieve more success, but not until you've had a chance to bargain-hunt. Financial goals can be reached with some planning. An urge to own things, rather than rent or window shop is growing stronger. Material issues come to the forefront and the message is you must be shrewd to succeed. Material comfort and personal happiness will be high on your list of priorities, and the more monotonous chores should be put on the backburner. You can expect to have the last laugh when slowly but surely others warm to your plans.

This is your time to shine and there will be more money coming your way to support your plans and goals. You might opt for a mini-makeover or break or seek out that promotion, pay increase or luxury purchase. Financially, you'll need to draw the line with a special occasion or gift before it gets out of control. It is a period that is filled with many exciting and wonderful opportunities. Be prepared to grab success and ride it into the future with enthusiasm. You'll be in a money-making mode. If you follow through, the accomplishment you make will be lucrative. Planets usher in many wonderful opportunities, though you need to pick and choose with care. You should get the financial ball rolling now or you could miss out on an opportunistic investment, income boost or creative enterprise.

Perfect time for catching up on old email or other messages that need replies. Every now and then you need to just clear them all away, even if that means just deleting and forgetting about them. It's a good time to sit down and rethink recent developments. Your ability to focus is strong and you ought to be able to figure out a few new angles that will make you glad you spent the time. Your opinions are hardly set in stone, though you do like to see hard evidence before changing your mind -- that is to say, you're eminently sensible. You meet someone new who turns you around on some subject. Emails are efficient and convenient, but the best way to get across a message is still to talk it out in person.

You've plenty to say right now and exactly the right words to say it. It's a great time to communicate your needs to whom ever is at hand -- they are much more likely to be receptive to your needs. You may need to make a few calls or send a few emails to track down that one person you need to reach. If it's a long-lost relative, you may surprise your family with your tenacity and resourcefulness! Your way with words is quite powerful now and you may find it much simpler to communicate your feelings and ideas, especially if you take a bit of time to focus your thoughts before proceeding. Try not to let other people interfere with your plans -- as long as you are able to express yourself clearly, you should be able to get your way.

A softening of your stance or views helps you see someone in a more positive light. You are among the lucky one, you may cash in on someone's absence, blunder or cancelled deal. Because you are in an affable life cycle, there will be no malice in information exchanged or passed on to others. Start by discussing your concerns and follow up with direct action. Planet is about to impact positively on relationships. An opportunity may present itself and while you are realistic about the temporary nature of it, you will be powerless to resist. Contact with someone you've been struggling to stay in touch with will open communication lines. You are in a caring sharing cycle and rather than shooting from the hip, you will wisely consult with others before making major decisions.

Romance and love relationships are strongly favoured this period and you can make use of the awareness that surrounds you to enhance your love life. Show them some sensitivity and generosity and they will do the same for you if the tables are turned. Do as you would be done to. Nothing is more important to you than a fillip of gossip and you seek the company of people who share your gift of gab. Now is not the time to procrastinate, but to take action and work on your plans and ideas for excellent results. A trip will take you to a place that will inspire you to move forward with financial plans that you have been contemplating. A certain amount of travel is indicated and something that you have been longing for will happen at this time. Your persuasive ability will help you gain the support you need. A trip will lead to someone from your past.

It’s one of those times when everything seems to be going along smoothly for you - your reflexes and instincts are all serving you well! As far as your emotional life is concerned, you feel as if you’ve finally fitted together all the bits of the jigsaw that will add up to a lasting relationship. This is the end of the blues! It’s time to move, time to dance. The people close to you will only be too pleased to see you back on form. It’s a really good time to work on yourself, if you’ve got any personal goals or ambitions you have yet to meet. This is perfect for opening doors and heading in new directions - you’ve got a universal wind on your back! You’ve got energy to spare, but by staying calm you’ll be able to weigh the pros and cons of all your decisions before acting on them.

You don’t mind a bit of illusion or razzle-dazzle as long as it’s all for a good cause - and it brings an excellence your way! This sets you up for a change of scenery and your relationships will be based on honesty. When things start to go your way, you may be tempted to drop everything and keep moving toward the good times. Let your unique vision guide you as you weave in and out of activities - you should know exactly when to cut and run and when to double down. It’s a great time to show off a little! What’s stopping you? It is time to seize this opportunity to create your life as you wish it to be. Don’t let anyone tell you that miracles don’t happen. They can and do! It’s one of those times that you really need to assert leadership.

If you have confidence in yourself, you’ll be immediately snapped up in a new project with a much more promising outcome. You’re not far from harvesting the fruits of your labor and your endurance. You might be in for a bonus. Your energy is aligned toward the real, material world - which is not to say that your soul is withering! Promotions and salary increases are likely. You will now be prepared to put heart, body and soul into everything you do and this will not go unnoticed. Confidence and feelings of self-worth will soar. Your head for finance is better than ever, and you should be able to calmly pore over pages of numbers and facts that didn’t make sense to you just a few weeks ago. Make some big changes.

Focusing on finances, appearances, comforts and luxury suggests that this period stimulates interest in the material aspects of self-worth. It pays off for you in a big way, as those around you are all freaking out over stuff that you know are cold. Your energy is very disciplined. You should spend time with folks who work very hard and manage their money carefully. It encourages you to use a new plan of attack towards financial issues, giving you fabulous results in record time.You’re feeling considerably more organized than usual - which may have seemed impossible just awhile ago! You might finally see tangible results of your efforts. The celestial configuration indicates that this trend could well continue, and you see the security you want for yourself.

You are a natural when it comes to honest communication, and you may find that it brings even more power in that regard. Expect good news - it’s coming! Your great energy is just a small part of the positive surprises, and while some of it came about as a result of your efforts, some is just blind luck. Your responses and reactions to others are generally sound because your emotions are calm you feel much more ‘connected’ than you usually do. Don’t panic, because the odds are quite good that you’ve just fully absorbed the message in the right way. Communication is one of your specialties (you could never settle on just one), and it brings an excellent opportunities for you to put your skills to work. Whether you’re at a job interview or a casual get-together, you can really wow those you’re chatting with.

Your opinion may be sought, and if you come across as someone with valuable and positive things to say, they can be suitably impressed. Self-expression and specifically, expression of feelings come easily to you resulting in mutual understanding in your relationships. It may start with an intellectual discussion and end with activities that are a bit earthier. Enjoy! Travel is on your mind right now, and with good reason -- your wanderlust is legendary! If you’re not actually out there now, it’s the best time to ponder options and make concrete plans for getting out of town. Ask for whatever you need, and while you can’t have everything, you should be quite satisfied in the end.

You'll be highly tuned to the material world and you will also have a greater awareness of your body's needs at this time. This period begins with you resolving to make more money and achieve more success, but not until you've had a chance to bargain-hunt. Financial goals can be reached with some planning. An urge to own things, rather than rent or window shop is growing stronger. Material issues come to the forefront and the message is you must be shrewd to succeed. Material comfort and personal happiness will be high on your list of priorities, and the more monotonous chores should be put on the backburner. You can expect to have the last laugh when slowly but surely others warm to your plans.

This is your time to shine and there will be more money coming your way to support your plans and goals. You might opt for a mini-makeover or break or seek out that promotion, pay increase or luxury purchase. Financially, you'll need to draw the line with a special occasion or gift before it gets out of control. It is a period that is filled with many exciting and wonderful opportunities. Be prepared to grab success and ride it into the future with enthusiasm. You'll be in a money-making mode. If you follow through, the accomplishment you make will be lucrative. Planets usher in many wonderful opportunities, though you need to pick and choose with care. You should get the financial ball rolling now or you could miss out on an opportunistic investment, income boost or creative enterprise.

Perfect time for catching up on old email or other messages that need replies. Every now and then you need to just clear them all away, even if that means just deleting and forgetting about them. It's a good time to sit down and rethink recent developments. Your ability to focus is strong and you ought to be able to figure out a few new angles that will make you glad you spent the time. Your opinions are hardly set in stone, though you do like to see hard evidence before changing your mind -- that is to say, you're eminently sensible. You meet someone new who turns you around on some subject. Emails are efficient and convenient, but the best way to get across a message is still to talk it out in person.

You've plenty to say right now and exactly the right words to say it. It's a great time to communicate your needs to whom ever is at hand -- they are much more likely to be receptive to your needs. You may need to make a few calls or send a few emails to track down that one person you need to reach. If it's a long-lost relative, you may surprise your family with your tenacity and resourcefulness! Your way with words is quite powerful now and you may find it much simpler to communicate your feelings and ideas, especially if you take a bit of time to focus your thoughts before proceeding. Try not to let other people interfere with your plans -- as long as you are able to express yourself clearly, you should be able to get your way.

A softening of your stance or views helps you see someone in a more positive light. You are among the lucky one, you may cash in on someone's absence, blunder or cancelled deal. Because you are in an affable life cycle, there will be no malice in information exchanged or passed on to others. Start by discussing your concerns and follow up with direct action. Planet is about to impact positively on relationships. An opportunity may present itself and while you are realistic about the temporary nature of it, you will be powerless to resist. Contact with someone you've been struggling to stay in touch with will open communication lines. You are in a caring sharing cycle and rather than shooting from the hip, you will wisely consult with others before making major decisions.

Romance and love relationships are strongly favoured this period and you can make use of the awareness that surrounds you to enhance your love life. Show them some sensitivity and generosity and they will do the same for you if the tables are turned. Do as you would be done to. Nothing is more important to you than a fillip of gossip and you seek the company of people who share your gift of gab. Now is not the time to procrastinate, but to take action and work on your plans and ideas for excellent results. A trip will take you to a place that will inspire you to move forward with financial plans that you have been contemplating. A certain amount of travel is indicated and something that you have been longing for will happen at this time. Your persuasive ability will help you gain the support you need. A trip will lead to someone from your past.

Nov 23 – Dec 21 Oct 24 - Nov 22 Sept 23 - Oct 23

Feb 19 – March 20 Jan 21 - Feb 18 Dec 22 - Jan 20

You may project a strong sense of inner security, you will express your feelings and act out parental roles quite easily. You might find yourself taking center stage. Maybe you will be attending a family gathering or a school reunion. If you have been caught up in a conveyancing chain on a property purchase, this is your chance to finally nail down a solution, but don’t wait for others to act, make sure you stay “on the case”. Your moods and feelings are strong and you may feel quite contented. Activities around the home and family affairs turn out well. Home and personal life should benefit as this will be a great time to catch up on DIY jobs or redecorate the home. You could focus on your family, as planetary energies highlight your relationships with relatives.

It’s a good period for you to ask someone out, spend time with your sweetheart or just enjoy the good times with family. Communication with loved ones, be they family, lovers or friends should be exceptionally good during this time, so why not tell them just how much you care! You need to ensure that your friends and loved ones are taken care of, and you can easily dream up new ways to please them. If possible, don’t go on an outing alone. It’s much more fun to share discoveries with good friends and family. You feel most comfortable at home right now, and you may want to ensure that you can stay there for a little longer than usual - cancel appointments, call in ‘sick,’ or do whatever it takes to nest. Activities around the home and family affairs turn out well.

This has probably been something of a saga. You can also have some penetrating insights about your deeper needs. This can help you to see who is valuable in your life. This is also a good time for spiritual work or research activities. You may be forced to be absent during this period for some reason and thus you may have to exercise your authority from a distance. A friend from far away could suddenly decide to visit your town. This person could appear so different that you’re suddenly seeing them in a different light. Curiosity about the past could come over you. Perhaps a specific historical personage or event has stimulated your interest. As a result, you might want to explore books, the Internet, or other sources of information.

Existing connections with people in influential posts can be important, and if you’re an avid networker, this can be the perfect way to open up possibilities. Yet this requires you to overcome any self doubts, or at least come to terms with your weakness. The current aspect at play implies a strong mutual interest in the workings of the universe. If you are someone who is prepared to travel, especially in order to hunt down new working opportunities, a relocation to a new area and a new job are. Your mind is alert, events stimulate ideas and interest, and you may need to move about more than usual. You could find yourself tapping into your inner poet. You have always had a magical way with words, and right now your desire to express yourself will be heightened.

You should find that you pop out with some great ideas when you’re least expecting to get any kind of work done. Your social issues are on the table -- so much so that you might decide to shift things around to suit your new mood. This is a good time to immerse yourself in the company of other people. Although sometimes you prefer to be on your own, you’ll enjoy more social energies now. Explore your artistic or creative side -- there’s a lot more going on under the surface than you may have realized yet. A social event or group activity could find you and your current love interest surrounded by people involved in the sciences. Take a few minutes to appreciate how good you’ve got it -- your energy is just right, you’re on the verge of something big and your capacity for happiness keeps increasing. Good times!

You may be busy now or at least more attuned to your career or social role. Try to focus on other people -- too much energy turned inward can be wasteful at the moment. You should run into someone you know through a friend -- and they almost certainly have something you want.You should find that you pop out with some great ideas when you’re least expecting to get any kind of work done. This is a good time to immerse yourself in the company of other people. Although sometimes you prefer to be on your own, you’ll enjoy more social energies now.

LEGO MiNiFiG ALARM CLOCKWe imagine that little Siths-to-be have a life that’s both awesome and terrifying. You’d have the ability to do crazy things like zapping your little sister or compelling your teachers to forget about the homework you didn’t hand in. But on the flip side, your parents would be way more powerful than you. Getting reprimanded would probably hurt way, way more than a spanking ever could. But we imagine wee Siths have an adorable LEGO Minifig Alarm Clock on their bedside table. Maybe a Stormtrooper or even Lord Vader himself. It would be comforting to know Lord Vader was watching over you, especially when you squint at him in the morning, rubbing sleep from your little Sith eyes and see that you have two more hours until you have to wake up for school.

RIO SIDIK

RETURNS ...

We met with Rio Sidik a few days after his return to Bali at JP’s Warung for a little chat and from the moment we met, he

seemed to be emitting a different aura about him. An air of a much calmer and mature person resonated from him. This was my first time meeting him in person, besides seeing him on stage and he seemed much slimmer than before his trip, but other than that he still looked the same Rio Sidik.He had many stories to tell about his musical travels and also a lot more about his life, giving me more insight on a guy I’d only known from the stage. Most of his time when in Europe was spent in London where he was lucky enough to be invited to perform at the house of Robin Gibbs of Bee Gees for a special event. At the event Rio and his trumpet shared the stage with the likes of Tim Lapthorne, Kevin Armstrong, Natasha Bedingfield, Tim Dwals, Josh Stone and many others. He even shared a table with Simon Cowell’s mother. Not only performing with big name musicians, Rio also got the chance to toot his horn with #3 world ranked DJ Peter Poyton at The Penthouse London. Eventually his roaming lead him to Portugal where he played with DJ Chus and then to Holland to share the stage with Hans Dulfer.

After being awe struck by the luck he struck on his travels of Europe, the one question I had

to ask was “What the greatest thing he gained from his trip?” The question took some time for him to answer but he said that after his close to nine year marriage was finally coming to an end, he found refuge in music, and that this trip was what made him cope with the stresses of that situation. He finished by saying that to him music has always saved him from his troubles. He definitely seemed much wiser, but the recent personal trials haven’t seemed to affect him so much as he always ended most of his comments with a huge laughing smile.

Another question I really wanted to know was, “When will Saharadja return with a new album?” He promised that early next year the new album will be available for all the fans, but now with a new line-up. Before we ended our chat, Rio played a newly unreleased track for us, and it was clear that the song was a departure from his old funky self, and sounded much more mature than I’ve heard before.

Rio Sidik will perform at JP’s Warung every Friday night with his Jazz quartet, but don’t be surprised if he slips a few of his original improvisations in sometime during his show, he’s always known to add a little twist to every performance. Be sure to enjoy Rio and the gang at JPs soon! (Rinaldi)

In a nail biting climax to both an epic Rip Curl Surf and Music Festival event and an incredible 2010 Coca-Cola ISC tour season, Marlon

Gerber’s first ISC tour win resulted in 18 year old Putra Hermawan’s 2010 Coca Cola ISC Open Division Championship victory.

The Sunday drama was the culmination of two days of incredible surfing action and entertainment at Kuta Beach for the annual Rip Curl Surf & Music Festival. Virtually every possible championship race scenario was exhausted during the jam-packed day of competitive surfing at Halfways Kuta Beach on Sunday, first with number two ranked Pepen Hendrik narrowly going down in the quarterfinals to number three ranked Dedi Santosa, and number one ranked Hermawan getting eliminated in the semifinals by Wayan Suprayinta and Lee Wilson. It all came down to Dedi Santoso in the final. If he won the Rip Curl Surf & Music Festival he would be champion. If not, Hermawan would win the championship. In the Rip Curl GromSearch National Finals, it was 14-year-old Jeren Kiring who will be taking the trip to Australia next year to compete in the

World GromSearch Finals at Bells Beach. He put on consistently high level performances on both his forehand and his backhand to finish with a total score of 12.45 points out of 20, just ahead of Koko Mitsua. In the Women’s Division final, Dyah Rahayu Dewi raced to her second consecutive ISC Women’s Division Tour victory, posting scores of 5.0 and 6.5 to eclipse her competition with a total heat score of 11.5 to her nearest rival Stella, who finished with a total score of 3.90.

The awards presentation was delayed slightly by a sudden and heavy rain shower, but after about 30 minutes the awards were presented followed by some night time entertainment. Local bands Devil Dice and Dialog Dini Hari and Tol Band Tol warmed things up to start, and then with the beach filling up to maximum capacity, Efek Ruma Kaca kept things simmering until Seringai blew the crowd away with their hard core guitar blasting brand of rock and roll. A BBQ feast by Goko, barrels of Bintang beer, and some of the best rock bands in Indonesia made for an epic finish to an extraordinary weekend on Kuta Beach.

You hold many roles in the industry, as music director, on air operator, scriptwriter and event and promotion for radio, and now you’re a band manager and band agent. Tell us what’s the red line between all this roles?Both the radio and music industries have one thing in common: MUSIC. Frankly it has been my prime need in life. So I’d say music and the love of it defines the red line.

Did your first job have anything to do with music?Back then I started a band but didn’t last too long and from there I just kept myself going as a music director in a radio station.

First thing you do when one of your band members disappears 3 minutes before hitting the stage?1. Call a friend 2. 50:50 3. Ask the audience, hahaha…

Craziest thing that you’ve seen within the music industry?When fans appreciate free stickers over the band itself.

Wildest fans?After a gig in Singaraja, we made our way back home to Denpasar, and suddenly when we arrived, someone was knocking on the car door, suspiciously a robber or something. But eventually we knew that it was just fans that had stalked us all the way 2-3 hours drive from Singaraja to Denpasar just to ask for free band stickers.

The most thing annoying for an event organizer?Rubber watch (‘jam karet’, just like one of our songs haha). When the gig is later than what’s on the schedule.

If there was an ideal condition, a fair situation for Indonesian musicians, what would it be like?A good label contract, TV Airplay, nationwide promo tour, plus a happy family with 2 children for every band member would be fair.

Possibility for Bali musicians to make it in the national industry: impossible or just good luck?I don’t think it’s impossible for talented Bali musicians to make it on the national stage, some already have, but luck can always make a difference. I always wonder if only Bali was the capital of Indonesia. Automatically Bali bands would grow as much as the big ones we see now.

Shout out to The Beat?Always support Bali musicians, Indonesian musicians, and add more music pages for band profiles and their works at the beat.www.facebook.com/dextartis www.myspace.com/tolbandtolwww.facebook.com/tolbandtol www.formspring.com/janztbt

REVIEW

Nestled quietly down Padma street, just a stone’s throw from the beach sits Bianco Restaurant - it’s airy white interior an oasis of tasteful furnishings and

uncluttered colonial-style décor. On a street that is not really known for dining at the more tasteful end of the scale, here is at least one establishment that has raised the standard in the area for delicious, good value eats and drinks with a unique menu that fuses traditional Indonesian cuisine with good old Italian cooking – courtesy of consultant chef and native Italian Roberto Bogni of Rosso Vivo fame.

By January next year, Bianco will have been on the block for three years, having fed and watered many a happy diner, whilst garnering quite a reputation for lunch and dinner time delight.

Clear a space on your table to make room for the huge gatefold food and drink menus, and give yourself a minute or two to fully take everything in… The drinks menu features everything you’d expect and more such as coffees, teas, juices, smoothies, milkshakes and soft drinks, not to mention a range of classic and special cocktails

dressing it’s light, fresh and difficult not to wolf down in one go. The main course is the perfect example of what Bianco is trying to achieve with the Italian-Indonesian fusion idea; ravioli fish curry (65.5k+). Soft pockets of Italian ravioli pasta are filled with fresh seafood in an Asian-style curry sauce with just a mild tang of spicyness. It’s a fantastic mix and really goes to show that these two cuisines can comfortably co-exist on the same plate. Last up is what I’ve been looking forward to the most: dessert. In this case, the best-selling crème brulee (34k+). The burnished crispy sugar top duly cracked (is there anything better than doing this?!) and I get to work on the sticky, gooey sugary goodness beneath. Easy to see why this one sells so well – the perfect sweet to top off a good Italian meal.

So the next time you’re heading though Padma, either en-route to the beach or on the way back from a sunset session, don’t forget to drop into Bianco and check out what’s on the menu. You won’t be disappointed. Dan Ashcroft.

including the famous lychee martini (48.5k+), chocolate martini (54k+), bloody mary, Singapore sling and Long Island iced tea (all 52k+). Friendly, polite and efficient staff are buzzing around all the time with permanent smiles to make everyone feel welcome.

The food menu boasts a host of Indonesian and Italian favourite dishes, with the idea being a subtle fusion of each cuisine. On the starter list you’ll find delicious soups like asparagus cream (26.5k+) and tom yum (35k+) alongside plenty of other snacks and salads. Indonesia is well represented with classic dishes like gado gado (27.5k+), rendang (51k+) and nasi uduk (68.5k+) as well as the mouth-watering Bianco grand rijstaffel feast to share (315k+). For the Italian side of things you’ll find a huge range of traditional style thin-crust pizzas, and a generous list of pastas including spaghetti bolognese (58k+) and lasagne (61k+). There are also a smattering of international favourites like fish and chips (62k+) and chicken parmigiana (72.5k).

Having recently been on Indonesian food mode for over a week, I decide to check out the more European side of the menu, and taking up position on one of the comfy day-bed style sofas I go for that most ubiquitous of Italian starters; garlic bread (24k+). Served as half baguettes and with a good coverage of garlicy, herby butter I’m reminded why this crispy snack has been my starter of choice whenever dining on Italian. Next up comes the chicken salad with tomato and sesame (28.5k+). Drizzled with a pesto-style

Getting to HRC wasn’t that hard with the traffic, but to walk through the crowd inside the concert was almost impossible. All hailed the

Melbourne-based band with hands and cameras in the air and sing-a-longs. Vocalist Dougy Mandagi got the crowd jumping with his singing, drum pounds, and loops from hits such ‘Down River’, ‘Love Lost’, and the famous ‘Sweet Disposition’ to end the set, but the crowd were shouting for more so a bonus of one new song and ‘Science of Fear’ sweetly ended the fantastic evening.

uK outfit I Am Giant hit it large at Hard Rock Café Bali for the

quiksilver Open 2010 party - a Saturday night full of distortion and harder tunes for the crowd celebrating the surf competition held during the week. They played hits like City Limits and Neon Sunrise to make sure Hard Rock Café was rockin’ hard once again.

It was a smooth return by the Rio Sidik quartet at JP’s Warung Club. He played his trumpet and sang his heart out to the audience from 9pm till

late and brought with him a warm jazz ambience to the air. With a touch of percussion by Kalo, the band kept JPs alive with the sounds of the meister trumpeter’s distinctive Jazz.

With a long history of playing to clubs

around Europe, Alberto Dj from France has started to spread his swings in Asia. On Wednesday SOS was charmed with his style and sounds. Spinning house music, Alberto warmed dance floor providing everyone one with the perfect ambience to get intimate with a lil’ mid week flava.

California based punk rock band, Rufio returned once again to rock Bali and this time round thrashed their tunes out at Kama Sutra.

Before Rufio stole the show, 10 local bands took to the stage as part of Indie Speedytrack to warm up the crowd. The long awaited performance of Rufio had the band performing close to 10 songs that got everyone bouncing high to the sky, and the night was ended with a amazing performance by electronic band Bottle Smoker, hailing from Bandung.

Boshe celebrated its Grand Opening party with a stack of live performances and DJ sessions spinning progressive disco beats in

between each performance. The crowd was massive, with a line of cars parking on the curb of the bypass stretching for several hundred meters. Everyone came to catch a glimpse of the night’s main event featuring the sexy Mulan Jameela performing alongside Ahmad Dani’s band TRIAD.
