Reminscing DWP 2012

I was contemplating whether to make a post out of this, but I thought this event was so awesome that I still have this euphoria for days.


This was my first time going into a rave party in Indonesia. My last one was back in Miami for Ultra Fest few years ago. To my surprise, I had such a great time in DWP from the beginning to end and even through the heavy rain, the party was still going hard. This is exactly what I remembered in Miami. They rocked the crowd regardless rain or shine.

I was so excited to finally see one of my favorite musicians Late Night Alumni. I have been a big fan since their first single “Empty Street”. Only recently this year they started performing live to the audience. I remembered their first performance was early this year in Salt Lake City. Too bad that it took place during the week and I couldn’t go there to see it. I was able to redeem myself that night in front of the beautiful angelic voiced, Becky.

The other two favorites would be Calvin Harris and Avicii. They performed back to back at the same stage outdoor, and that’s when the heavy rain starts to go crazy. The thunder and lighting were like a disco ball on steroids up in the sky. But of course the rain didn’t stop us to stay in the field and dance away. Epic!

Bratislava - Slovakia

Bratislava. Which used to be known as Pressburg or Pozsony, is the capital city of Slovakia. When the turks invaded Hungary during the 1950s, they also moved the Hungarian capital from Budapest to Bratislava. After the World War I,it became part of the new Czechoslovakia. In 1919, Bratislava has been the capital of Slovakia  (do correct me if I'm wrong)


I went here from Prague, by bus, and when I got here, I wasn't on my best mood because our tour leader woke me up for a walk in the old town when I was on a super sleepy mode. This is why I didn't take a good shot of the famous Novy Most Bridge,  I regret it now.

During a walk into the old town, I saw a really interesting photography installation.



Afterwards I continued walking to the main square and had lunch (fish) in a local restaurant. I must say the city is not as grande as Prague, the people are more laidback, but the shops are full with interesting handicrafts. My cousin got busy with the handmade jewelry while others are busy with the embroidery .. me, I saw a shop full with chocolates. Stayed there before I started taking pics

Shy Shy Kat

I had the pleasure to know the creative team behind this local clothing line called ShyShyKat. This young and hip brand was formed in the late 2011 and had released 2 collections thus far.

Recently they released their third collection named “ShyShyKat Blends with Nature” where I had the opportunity to take a look on the garments in their private residence not too long ago, which was an amazing experience. Their collections contained both female and male pieces and each female and male collection is categorized by two styles as they refer to in characters.

Let’s meet all the characters, shall we?

Missy is elegant, classy, and sophisticated, along side with Skippy who is casual, tomboy and independent with a big heart.


On the male side, meet Kenzo, who is preppy, caring, and independently yet responsible, and Beebo with the urban street and a bad boy attitude.



Amongst this  collection, I asked the team to pick out the top 5 items for each male and female to represent the theme of the collection.

Missy's of the Valley

Skippy's Magical Trip

Skippy's Mimosa

Skippy's Blue Bell Top

Missy's Black Thorn

Kenzo's Twig Tree Top (collar is detachable) 

Beebo's Surreal Top

Kenzo's Depth of the Sea

Beebo's Miami Top

Kenzo's White Paisley Top

So what do you think? Can you take a guess which one is my favorite?  It's the last one - Missy's Black Thorn. The black airy shirt combined with a splash of zebra accent on the front and the hot pink button lace cannot be more perfect, don't you think?

Let's meet the creative team behind ShyShyKat - Ravina, Nara and Krishna.



ShyShyKat is currently available online at Maskool.in, Scallope.com and Localbrand.co.id
