Pendet dances and Nasionalism

Today i saw the televison discuss about “how it could they” Malaysia Claims Old Balinese Pendet Dance as their culture, hmm.. from the discussion between annoucer and bali dance practitioners we can get information about history of pendet dance. Pendet Dance is very iconic to Bali’s culture, in the past, this dances just presented on scared event at the pura, this event is more than just dance usually, there are require some condition and some event. Now, pendet dance popular as welcome dance in bali and perform in another event in Bali.

The important information form their talking is “Pendet Dance is a Hindu dance, how could they claimed it when Malaysia’s a muslim country?”..and someting weird is the dancers costum, malaysia is popular as moslem country and always keep their dress and always not show the aurat. The another weird is in Malays There is no word “pendet” mentioned in the official Malaysian “Kamus Dewan” isued in 1970 (source:thejakartapost).

Remember what’s the President Soekarno would do to malaysia in past :D

make new habbit…

It’s so difficult to make new habbit automatically, in example getup early in the morning and doing activity, subhuh pray and doing something important like read the e-book or another job. The big problem is on the personal system management, self management and power of struggle. that’s the theory but to implementation it’s badly difficult. Like traine a child to walking by her self, it must be hard traine and inside stimulus.
The point of interest is how to growth by my own self the spirit of stimulus, fight with devil lazy in my body..yeah, it’s real fighting.
