Wayang

Wayang (Puppets)

Puppets have been used for centuries in Indonesia to tell the stories of the ancient epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabarata, as well as ancient myths. Modern stories also utilize this ancient art form for contemporary audiences.
Puppets fall into two major classifications - wayang kulit - the leather or shadow puppet of Central Java, and wayang golek - wooden puppets of West Java. There are several varieties of wooden puppets. Some expats enjoy collecting the same character by various artisans, or all the characters in a scene or story, or just characters that strike their fancy. Good guys, bad guys, gods, demons, nobles, giants, clowns, princes and princesses and monkeys ... all can be found in traditional puppet forms.
Less commonly seen are the Wayang Klitik, a flat wooden puppet.


Wayang Golek


Wayang Golek is a traditional form of puppetry from Sunda, West Java.Unlike flat leather shadow puppets, these puppets are made from wood, and being three-dimensional do not use a screen. The puppetts are ornate with colourful costumes, and have moveable arms and head.
The puppetteer sits on the floor behind a low "table" on which the puppetts perform.The shows are performed for at least six hours during the night, accompanied by gamelan music, with speech and singing to tell the story. This music is quite unlike the traditional court music from Solo, for example, and contains much banter and sound effects!

Traditional Dress from Indonesia


In general, the people wear clothes that are similar to western style. They wear traditional dress on special occasions.

Men: Indonesian men generally wore sarongs (usually with a checkered pattern) in the home. In public, the sarong is worn only when attending Friday prayers at the mosque. For formal national occasions, the men wear batik shirts with trousers or teluk beskap, a combination of the Javanese jacket and sarong.

Women: For formal occasions, Indonesian women wear the kebaya -- a beautiful, figure-hugging embroidered blouse worn with a batik sarong that is usually dyed with flower motifs and in bright colours. On these occasions, women often tied their hair into a bun, or attached a false hairpiece. In addition, they may drape a long stretch of cloth, called "selendang", over one shoulder. This cloth can be used as a head shawl or on less formal occasions, used to carry babies or objects.

Traditional Dress: Indonesia has 300 ethnic groups; each has their own traditional dress variations.

  • The Minangkabau ethnic group is indigenous to the highlands of West Sumatra. Their traditional dress consists of silk robes with metallic thread woven into the material. Their headdress is shaped like buffalo horns.

  • The Toraja people live in the mountainous areas of South Sulawesi (Celebes). The women's traditional costume features elaborate beadwork and tassels.

The Bad Effect Drinking While Standing

Assalamualikum everyone, today Pontianak is really hot and I think this is a good time to tell you about important information for our health.
Do you know drinking while standing is dangerous for our health ?
Why are we not allowed to drinking while standing? 
Greatest influence what happens to our vital organs, especially kidneys and whether an in Islam to eat and drinking while standing..
From the results of research if we do drink while sitting the water we drink is filtered by the sphincter. Sphincter is a structure maskuler (muscular) which can be opened (so that urine can pass) and close. Any water we drink will be provided at the posts in the kidney filtration.
If we drink standing up, the water we drink no longer filtered directly into the bladder so that precipitation will occur in the channel ureter. Of wastes (of deposition) which menyisa diureter is what can cause kidney disease crystals which is one of the dangerous kidney disease. One of the symptoms that often occurs is difficult to urinate.
If drinking while standing is not avoided then be prepared to accept an adverse effect onyour kidneys. We know that one of its functions in the body of toxins.
So how do I fix this so that we avoid that?
You must do the following practices:
- Get used to always drink while sitting, standing do not remember.
- Get used to drink and water needs are recommended.
In order to meet the needs of water in our body requires daily intake of drinking water :
1-3 glasses, when we wake up in the morning
2-3 glasses, one hour before lunch
2-3 glasses, one hour before dinner
So thus the need for water in the process of metabolism will be met.
Why does Moslem forbid eating and drinking while standing up?
Evidence of the Islamic prohibition against eating and drinking while standing is affirmed in the hadith as follows:
Of Anas and Qatadah, Rasulullah.Saw said;
Indeed he forbade anyone to drink while standing, Qotadah said: “What about eating?” He replied: “That’s even worse”.
(HR.Muslim and Turmidzi)
Abu Hurairah said: The Prophet of, “Do you drink standing up! If you forget, then he should throw up! “(Narrated by Muslim)
In any act of Islamic religion at all has been demonstrated by the Prophet, including manners in eating and drinking, if eating and drinking while standing is prohibited, then it will obviously not very good influence on our lives as closely associated with health problems, why is that? for eating and drinking while standing, using the left hand is eating behaviors and habits of the devils, demons tend to be bad behavior, we are forbidden to copy it because the devil is a creature of the most arrogant man who always tries to plunge into error.
Well behaved like eating and drinking is not good to use your left hand is done while standing will have a negative impact on health as well as blow the food while still hot.
From the facts above prove to drink standing up is not good for kidney health is negligible even if the behavior is not likely to be fatal to these organs.
So if both are connected between the rules and restrictions that come from the teachings of Islam with the results ilmial medical researchers were very clear relevance.
What is certain is that bad behavior is rooted in ignorance and habits that we think is right it will take a very serious impact on the sustainability of our own health. (Drinking while standing).
