Sanubari means Heartstring

Hi there!

Hope you guys are well

It’s been a while since I last posted a blog here. I've been busy with work and personal matters. By the way, here's a quick update on my life right now: I'm currently working at STAX as a photographer, color grader, and retoucher. Also, ever since I participated in Your Shot back in 2023, I’ve occasionally been playing at clubs such as The Flinders, Abercrombie, and on boats, as well as at house parties.

Here is the link to my latest mixtape:

The reason I've included video footage in the background is that these movies were a big part of my upbringing in Indonesia.

Hope you like it!

New Tomorrow

Hi there, hope you are well. If you read this, you are a lucky person.

I did a test shoot when Sydney is currently in its wettest weather. Gathered all the wardrobes by doing buy-return, and requesting samples to Electric Collective PR. So this is my first test shoot this year with full-on styling that I did myself.

This is the list of brands that I got for the shoot:

• Adidas (Sports top and biker shorts)

• Reebok (Blazer and shoes)

• ELK The Label (Bag and hair clip)

• Fatkat (Necklace)

The majority of the shoes are a personal collection.

Also, thanks to Leah for the great makeup and Chadwick Models for letting me shoot with Anna & Lucy.

High Fidelity

While I was strolling on the suggestion on Disney+, I stumble upon '“High Fidelity”. It’s a series about Robyn Brooks or so-called Rob who was played by Zoe Kravitz whose mom was in the initial movie played by Lisa Bonet. The series tells us Rob's life, the record store owner named Champion Records who is currently being through a post-heartbreak phase. (spoiler alert)

To be clear, I’m watching the one played by Zoe Kravitz first then watched the initial one played by John Cusack. I think it just meant to be.

Rob was trying to get through the heartbreak by asking the top five list of her heartbreak about what was wrong. Her staff AKA best friends warn her to not go through the list because it would only make her devastated. In the second episode, Rob was accidentally encountered her ex which they got engaged in the past but became separated afterwards.

This is my very first time watching Zoe Kravits playing as an actor in a series. Before, I only know her from the iconic cover of Rolling Stone recreating her mother portrait, Lisa Bonet. I must assure you, she is freaking amazing. She definitely makes me feel what she feel as Rob in High Fidelity. Also, this series kinda encouraging me to go to the record store and grab a vinyl.

I really love how the director portraying the social life in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Seems to relax, easygoing, and intense. Especially the part when socializing and drinking after work is a staple routine. I like the fact the most favourites bar visited by all character are named “Allied” which I found interesting because, Mac, Rob ex is British and Rob is American. Because looking back to World War 2, British and American was joining together to win the fight in Europe against Nazi Germany hence why every country who joins the British in a war effort called Allied. It just my personal opinion but I feel like it must mean something.

While the movie played by John Cusack stated that they went back together, instead, the one played by Zoe Kravits the audience got a revelation about the real reason why they broke up which I think you should watch yourself.

Highly recommended to watch if you are a hopeless romantic nerd.

Plus, enjoy how cute the personality of Zoe Kravits portraying the character.
