kartinian

celebrating 'kartini' day
(I've linked the traditional stuffs to some resources, in case you want to learn or just know about them)

hari ini sekolah Ar Ir merayakan Hari Kartini. Jadi murid-murid pake pakaian adat.

today in Ar Ir's school they celebrate Kartini Day. so the students have to wear traditional clothes

aku bilang juga apa, aku ini mami dodol. aku inget tanggal 19 ada sesuatu di sekolah Ar Ir. tapi lupa apa. dari hari kamis udah diinget-inget. cuma berhasil inget bahwa hari ini kelas A dan B masuk pagi semua.

I told you what. I'm a stupid mom. I remembered I had to do something in 19 for Ar Ir's school. but couldn't remember what. I've tried so hard to remember it since Thursday. all I can remember is that in 19 class A and B started at 07.30.

kalo hari sabtu udah ritual antar dan jemput anak sekolah. pas sampai di sekolahan aku bengong. loh, kok pada pake kostum pakaian adat? spontan Ar-Or aku giring masuk mobil lagi, aku nelpon salon deket rumah, "Budhe... ada kostum ngga buat kembar?". Jawab budhe-ku yang centil itu. "ada sayang... udah dhe nur siapin. dari kemaren dhe nur tunggu-tunggu langganan yang satu ini, mau kartinian kok belum pesen kostum"

I'm off on Saturday so I could take the boys to the school this morning. when I got there, I was kinda dazed. hey, everybody ia wearing a traditional clothes. I was spontaniously turn Ar Ir back to the car, and called a beauty house next door, "budhe, do you still have costumes for my twin?". this coquettish Budhe of mine answered, "I have prepared two pairs for them. I've been waiting for you to come and take it, I know their school is doing it today"

alhamdulillah!

budhe nur nyiapin dua pilihan. beskap solo, dua-duanya warna merah; atau beskap lurik yogya. Ar Ir suka yang kedua.

budhe nur prepared two choices. beskap solo, both are red; or beskap lurik yogya. Ar Ir chose the second

dan inilah hasilnya, dua wayang golekku....

and these are the results, my twin wayang goleks.....

this is Ar

and this is Ir

tahun ini sekolah Ibit ngga kartinian, mungkin karena tahun lalu sudah. ini gambar ibit kartinian dari tahun lalu. seingatku mereka memang kartinian setiap dua tahun sekali

this year, Ibit's school don't do the celebration. may be because they already did last year. this is Ibit's picture from last year. what I know is they do it every other year.

dan ibit juga ikut nyinden dengan rombongan gamelan teman-temannya

and ibit also joined the sindens (javanese singers) along with the gamelan (javanese band/orchestra)
