The Indonesian Way

Tinggal di kost, apartemen kecil, atau rumah sempit yang kecil dengan tempat yang pas-pasan? Pastinya pingin dong membuat ruangan kecil terlihat lebih besar. Dari kamar tidur yang hampir sama besarnya dengan tempat tidur, hingga ruang keluarga yang harus digabungkan dengan ruang makan, pastinya bukanlah hal yang mudah untuk ditata dan dibuat terlihat seluas mungkin.
Tenang, ada solusi mudah yang akan membantu membuat rumah kecilmu terlihat lebih luas serta multi fungsi dan tetap terlihat indah. Yuk, simak tipsnya berikut ini!

Gunakan Warna Cerah sebagai Cat Dinding

Memang cat dinding berwarna gelap dapat membuat ruangan terasa nyaman, tetapi hal ini juga dapat menyerap cahaya dan bukan memantulkannya, sehingga membuat ruang terasa lebih kecil. Pilihlah ubin berwarna lebih terang serta warna dinding yang terang juga untuk membuat ruangan terasa lebih luas.

Hindari Menaruh Barang dan Furnitur di Pinggir

Menaruh furnitur sehingga menempel di dinding membuat ruangan terlihat dan terasa sempit. Berikan ruangan antara furnitur dan dinding, atau menaruhnya di tengah ruangan dapat membuat ruangan sempit terlihat lebih luas dari sebenarnya.

Gunakan Furnitur Multifungsi

Menggunakan furnitur yang memiliki banyak fungsi adalah cara sederhana untuk membuat sebuah ruangan terlihat lebih besar. Cobalah kursi yang dapat dibuka sebagai tempat penyimpanan atau sofabed yang dapat menjadi sofa dan tempat tidur.

Gunakan Cermin

Cermin adalah cara termudah untuk membuat ruangan tampak lebih besar. Meskipun tidak perlu menggunakan kaca di setiap ruangan, kamu dapat menggunakan kaca sebagai statement piece di dalam suatu ruangan yang dapat membuat cermin itu juga sebagai aksesoris di ruangan tersebut.

Gunakan Furnitur yang Bisa Dilipat

Furnitur lipat bukan berarti tidak bagus dipandang. Bisa pilih meja atau kursi lipat di ruang makan dan jika sudah tidak dibutuhkan bisa dilipat dan simpan. Kamu juga dapat memindahkan furnitur tersebut ke ruangan apapun di rumahmu. Ruangan pun terlihat lebih besar!

Warna Monokromatik

Cat dinding, furnitur, ubin, aksesoris dalam satu warna, seperti putih dan krem ​​dapat membuat ruangan terlihat lebih besar. Kamu juga dapat memberikan aksen warna sebagai pop of color agar ruangan terlihat lebih “hidup”.

Cat Langit-Langit Ruangan

Sementara cat dinding putih yang terang dapat membuat sebuah ruangan terlihat lebih terbuka, langit-langit berwarna gelap dapat menciptakan ilusi ruangan yang lebih tinggi karena dapat membuat kita memandang ke langit-langit ruangan.


Dengan mengikuti beberapa tips sederhana tentang mendekorasi ruangan kecil untuk membuat ruangan terlihat lebih besar, rumah akan merasa nyaman dan tidak terasa sempit. Kamu pun akan memiliki ruang yang sesuai dengan semua kebutuhanmu.

If you go to Bali, you will often find people with the same name, for example Wayan or Made. What do the names mean?

The phrase name is a proper prayer to describe how a name is made not only as a person's identity but also stores meaning and hope for the owner. This is reflected in the unique naming system of various ethnic groups in Indonesia.

Each tribe or group has its own rules in compiling names, one of them Balinese according to the journal Temajaya (2017) composed of elements of gender, birth order, and caste system. The combination of these three elements often makes the Balinese name long.

The gender element generally starts the name of Balinese. Words like 'I' or 'Ni' are used to distinguish the sexes where 'I' is given to men while 'Ni' is to women.

Then, Balinese names are also composed of birth order markers. According to Kanda Pat Sari Literature, there are four types of naming children ranging from the oldest to the youngest, namely Wayan, Made, Nyoman, and Ketut.

In Temajaya's study entitled "The Balinese Naming System", the name Wayan was used for the first child. Wayan comes from the word wayah which means old. For the first child, there are also other variations that are usually used, namely Putu which means grandchild, or Gede which means big. In the caste aspect, the name Putu is more likely to be chosen among the people above the Sudra caste.

Then for the second child, they will usually be called Made which comes from the word madya (middle). The second child can also be called Nengah which also means middle or Kadek which means sister.

The third child will be given the name Nyoman which comes from the word anom, meaning young or small. Other sources also say that the third child can be named Nyoman or Komang which comes from the word uman, meaning leftover. The third child names are associated with the final (young) nature. This can be attributed to the Balinese society which is based on the number three (including the number of children) because it is identical with the Balinese Hindu concept such as Tri Hita Karana, Tri Murti, Tri Rich Parisudha, and others. This also relates to the name Ketut given to the fourth child. Ketut comes from the word ketuut which means to follow or stalk, where this child is said to be born after the first three children.

What if in a family there are more than 4 children? The naming will be repeated/ returned to the first name. So, the fifth child will be given the first child naming, the sixth child will be given the second child naming, and so on. For example, the first child named Wayan and the fifth will also be named the same.

Then how do you distinguish between the first or fifth child?

To avoid this misunderstanding, usually Balinese will give a marker after the birth order name. The markers are for example alit which means little for a child born after four children. In addition, there are also those who use numerical sequences from the Old Javanese language such as panca for the fifth child. Another alternative is to add the word balik that means back.

The last element that forms the name of the Balinese is caste or social class. Nowdays caste no longer functions as a division of labor in society but is still used in the family tree as in naming someone. The castes consist of four groups, namely Brahmins, Ksatrias, Vaishyas and Sudras.

Brahmins are descendants of religious leaders who were trusted in the kingdom to lead religious ceremonies. People from this caste will generally have the first name Ida Bagus for men and Ida Ayu for women. For the Brahmin caste, the words 'I' and 'Ni' are replaced by 'Bagus' (handsome) for boys, and 'Ayu' (beautiful) for girls.

Next, the Ksatrias are descended from kings, aristocrats, or royal groups. People from this caste generally have the title of Anak Agung, Cokorda, or Gusti. For women usually named Dewa Ayu, Desak, or Sagung.

Then for the Vaishya who are descendants of traders and businessmen of the royal era, have names like Ngakan, Kompyang, Sang, and Si. However, these names are rarely found and usually they prefer names in the order of birth.

Finally, the Sudra group who used to work as workers or laborers but now have more varied occupations such as working in government or the private sector. Sudra names use birth order without a certain title.

All these three elements (sex, birth order, caste) are combined into a Balinese name. For example, Ida Bagus Ketut Maha Indra which means a man, the fourth child of the Brahmin group who is expected to be a big person like God Indra.

Another example, Anak Agung Istri Purnamawati means a daughter from the Ksatria group who is expected to grow into a beautiful girl like a full moon.

Now, if you already know the basic concept, can you now guess the meaning of the name of the Balinese you know?


The Islamic New Year, also known as Arabic New Year or Hijri New Year is observed on the first day of Muharram, the first month in the Islamic calendar. The first Islamic year begins in 622 AD with the emigration of Prophet Muhammad from Makkah to Madinah, known as the Hijra. The Islamic calendar is calculated according to the lunar calendar. A day in the Islamic calendar is defined as beginning at sunset. Since the Islamic lunar year is eleven to twelve days shorter than the solar Gregorian year, the Islamic New Year does not come on the same day of the Gregorian calendar every year.

When is the Islamic New Year in 2017?

1 Muharram 1439 Hijri is likely to fall on either Thursday or Friday, 21-22 September 2017. Please note that this date is only an estimate.

Islamic New Year Traditions of Javanese Indonesia

"Satu Suro" (One Suro) is the first day in the Javanese calendar where it coincides with 1 Muharram in the Hijri calendar. Originally, Javanese calendar is calculated based on the solar calendar. Things changed during the reign of Sultan Agung, King of Mataram (1613-1645). He decided to change Javanese calendar to follow Hijri calendar starting from 1 Muharram 1043 H (8 July 1633).

Javanese has traditions on “Malam 1 Suro” which is commemorated at night after sunset on the day before 1 Suro (malam = night). Malam 1 Suro is considered sacred especially for the Javanese people. One of the common belief on Malam 1 Suro is people are forbidden to go anywhere except to pray or perform other worship. Below are the common rituals and traditions performed on Malam 1 Suro:

1. Kirab Kebo Bule in Surakarta

Kirab Kebo Bule is a tradition performed by Kasunanan Keraton Surakarta to welcome the coming of Suro or Muharram month. In this carnival, a herd of buffalo (kebo) that is believed to be sacred, named Kebo Bule Kyai Slamet, will be paraded around the city. Kebo Bule Kyai Slamet itself is not just any buffalo. In the book of Babad Solo by Raden Mas Said, the ancestor kebo bule is a beloved animal of Sultan Paku Buwono II.


Source

The kirab (parade) usually took place at midnight, and is very anticipated by the people of Surakarta/Solo and surrounding areas. They are willing to wait for hours on the road just to watch the Kebo Bule herd. The most interesting and unique part of this tradition is when people fight each other trying to touch the body of kebo bule and scramble to get their dungs. They believe the buffalo’s dung is sacred and can bring blessings.

2. Mubeng Beteng in Yogyakarta Palace

Hundreds of people crowded the Yogyakarta Palace to prepare for the Tapa Bisu and Mubeng Beteng ritual. The event is regularly held in Sultan Palace on the night of 1 Sura every year. The crowd begin to gather at 21:30 pm and they will wait until midnight to start Tapa Bisu and Mubeng Beteng.


Source

“Tapa Bisu” means contemplate in silent, while “Mubeng Beteng” means walking around the four corners of the fortress of Yogyakarta Palace. Silence begins at the beginning of departure until the end of the event.

Mubeng Beteng is seen as a way of doing self-reflection and self-evaluation. Silent in Mubeng Beteng rituals meant that those who contemplate can focus on praying to God. If people are allowed to converse during Mubeng Beteng, then the focus of reflection will not be achieved.


Source

It takes about 1 hour 30 minutes to encircle the four corners of Yogyakarta Palace fortress which is four kilometers away. No wonder if some participants failed because of fatigue and had to be treated by paramedics in ambulance.

3. Ngumbah Keris Tradition

Ngumbah Keris or washing the keris is a sacred Javanese tradition, usually done only once in a year, i.e. in the month of Suro. The month of Suro is chosen because it is considered the sacred month, and is believed to increase the unseen power of a keris.

4. Kungkum

Kungkum is a tradition of meditating while submerged in water, usually in river or lake. This is done in order for self-introspection. There are some people who prefer to be alone in a quiet, cool place like the river to start thinking about what mistakes they have made so far, and how to get on with life.

5. Lek-lekan

Lek-lekan is a tradition of not sleeping through the night. This is done by many Javanese residing in Solo, Semarang, Yogyakarta or surrounding areas that still believe in such traditions. Lek-lekan usually done by gathering at the front porch of one’s house with their neighbors, while praying together, conversing and eating traditional meals.

6. Ruwatan

Ruwatan in its true sense means the cleansing of all wrongs and sins committed. This ritual derived from the ancient culture of ancient Javanese era which is the ritual of purifying the soul.


Source

Ruwatan usually held massively by holding wayang kulit show, whose story has been arranged specifically for the implementation of ruwat, such as Baratayuda, Sudamala, and Kunjarakarma. Then drinking or being springkled by water from a particular well that has been blessed with a prayer by a kyai. Lastly, cut small amount of people’s hair and ceremoniously throw the hair into the river.

Islamic New Year Traditions in other parts of Indonesia

1. Tabot Festival in Bengkulu

Tabot Festival is an annual festival held by the people of Bengkulu City in order to commemorate the death of Hassan and Hussain, grandsons of Prophet Muhammad SAW in Karbala (Iraq).

This celebration has been done since 1685 by Syeh Burhanuddin known as Imam Senggolo. The people of Bengkulu city believe that if they do not celebrate this event there will be disaster or tragedy befall them. The festival is held for ten days, from 1st to 10th Muharram.

The fifth stage is “Arak Penja”, where penja is placed inside Tabot and paraded on the main streets of Bengkulu City. Tabot is a miniature of multi-storey building like a minaret, in various sizes and adorned with layers of colorful paper. The sixth stage is a parading the penja. They also added a white turban on top of the Tabot.

The seventh stage is “Gam” (calm/mourning), where no one is not allowed to conduct any activities. Gam comes from the word 'ghum' which means closed or obstructed, held every dated 9 Muharram from 07:00 to 16:00 pm. At that time, all activities related to the Tabot ceremony should not be performed.

The eighth stage is “Arak Gendang”, begins with the release of Tabot taking a predetermined route. The whole group will meet and form a grand parade. The event was enlivened by the presence of groups of entertainers and community supporters of Tabot group.

The last stage of the Tabot ceremonies is called “Tabot Tebuang” which was held on the 10th of Muharram. All Tabot gathered and lined up in Tapak Paderi then all Tabot groups will make a field trip to Padang Jati and end at Karabela public grave complex.
