Sir Ken Robinson
RSA Animate - Changing Education Paradigms by Sir Ken Robinson
"Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity. " -TED
"In this poignant, funny follow-up to his fabled 2006 talk, Sir Ken Robinson makes the case for a radical shift from standardized schools to personalized learning, creating conditions where kids' natural talents can flourish." -TED

Flaky Smoked Turkey Pizza with mozzarella and herbs
All you need:
How to make:
Heat the oven 200C. Put the puff pastry sheet on a pan. Roll it a bit to make it more thinner. Top with mozzarella cheese and 4 slices of smoked turkey. Then spread some mozzarella again and add some Parmigiano too. Then sprinkle some oregano and thyme with a little drizzle of olive oil.
And voila...
Don't forget to eat it with salads!
It's easy, nyummy, flaky, crispy :D
Another TED's
"Jane Goodall on what separates us from the apes… "-TED
"When film critic Roger Ebert lost his lower jaw to cancer, he lost the ability to eat and speak. But he did not lose his voice. In a moving talk from TED2011, Ebert and his wife, Chaz, with friends Dean Ornish and John Hunter, come together to tell his remarkable story." -TED
"Why do we crave love so much, even to the point that we would die for it? To learn more about our very real, very physical need for romantic love, Helen Fisher and her research team took MRIs of people in love -- and people who had just been dumped." -TED
TED's
"Using three iPods like magical props, Marco Tempest spins a clever, surprisingly heartfelt meditation on truth and lies, art and emotion." -TED
"Ron Gutman reviews a raft of studies about smiling, and reveals some surprising results. Did you know your smile can be a predictor of how long you'll live -- and that a simple smile has a measurable effect on your overall well-being? Prepare to flex a few facial muscles as you learn more about this evolutionarily contagious behavior." -TED
"Humorist John Hodgman rambles through a new story about aliens, physics, time, space and the way all of these somehow contribute to a sweet, perfect memory of falling in love." -TED
"Temple Grandin, diagnosed with autism as a child, talks about how her mind works, sharing her ability to “think in pictures,” which helps her solve problems that neurotypical brains might miss. She makes the case that the world needs people on the autism spectrum: visual thinkers, pattern thinkers, verbal thinkers, and all kinds of smart geeky kids. " -TED

Me and Jane
I'm so happy because my mom bought me this book :) Yes, I'm a sucker for children's book. And this one is special because it's about one of my hero, my favorite person, Jane Goodall :)

I think you should get this book for your kids, very inspiring. For any child interested in animals, exotic locales or how dreams can actually come true. The book provide a satisfying and complimentary introduction to an extraordinary human being.
Well, I think I'm going to look for the other book "The Watcher".
Take a look at this video too :)

Never stop learning
"Children teach you that you can still be humbled by life, that you learn something new all the time. That's the secret of life, really never stop learning. Never think you've got it all.." -Clint Eastwood

TEDxJakarta2011
Amazing event, free knowledge, sharing is caring...need to say more? :)
Overall it was a great event and all the speakers were very inspiring. But my favorite part from TEDxJakarta 2011:
Siti Musdah Mulia, she's active in Indonesian Conference on Religion for Peace. She believes that that the essence of religion is love and to appreciate people of different beliefs.
Didik Nini Thowok, a cross gender dancer. "If we believe in compassion, age and gender will no longer matter" he said...
A brave talk from Dhira Narayana about the forgotten benefits of weeds.
Derek Siver's quote "Market norms destroy social norms."
Zaini Alif, he's a traditional games expert. He blew me away with his center for traditional games (pusat kajian mainan rakyat) called Komunitas Hong. Zaini said traditional games teach children about life values, hardwork and sense of belonging. And traditional games taught wisdom, the importance of nature, & the essence of the game as part of educational. Had a chance to chat with him, very inspiring.
You can see this video about his work:
Pak Raden, he's a storyteller legend. He made Unyil, a TV show for kids when I was still little. He's one of the character in it too. His classic storytelling style, he tell the story with humor and drawing too. And yaiiiyyy I had a chance to chat with Pak Raden :)

| Pak Raden and me :) |
And Edward Suhadi video about Indonesi Mengajar was very inspiring :)

Can't wait for next year!

YPAC
A good friend of mine, Tina (she's a yoga instructor for kids, who works at Bliss WellnessCo)....asked me to come along with her to go YPAC...because she's helping them with some of the therapy there and she knows my interest to learn more about Special Needs.
YPAC : Yayasan Pembinaan Anak Cacat (National Foundation for Disabled Children).
It's a place to prevent early disability and children with disabilities to become the next generation that will have equality rights of disabled in order to achieve the perfect well being.

We went straight to see the art & craft room. They practice their fine motor skills by making necklaces with beads or sewing. When we entered the room, they welcomed us with a very friendly smile. I could tell that they smile sincerely :)
I got goosebumps and was touched by their willingnes to try to make something. Despite of their disabilities, they can still laugh and smile :)
That's Lusi. She's 30 years old now. The teacher said that she's very smart. It just that she doesn't want to go to university because she's affraid that the lecturer will have problems communicate with her. It's so sad to hear that, because actually she's smart. Got this article about 4 Ways iPads Are Changing the Lives of People With Disabilities, from my friend Tina, maybe you can read it too. If we have the tools, we can send Lusi to university. Anyone know the equipment that can help her?
This is Ibu Akie, she's good at weaving. But the cute story is that she's very moody :) If she's in the mood to do some weaving, she'll do it fast. But she's also has the mood to skip school let say...for 2 weeks hehehe. So nobody's doing it.
Who wants to volunteer to help them and teach art & craft at YPAC?...that later hopefully can be beneficial to them and we can help them become more independent. Let's help them, shall we? :)
Move, Learn, Eat: Around the World in 3 Stop-Motion Short Films
Move, Learn, Eat: Around the World in 3 Stop-Motion Short Films
by Maria Popova
From Rick Mereki, Tim White and Andrew Lees come three poetic and ambitious short films shot over the course of 44 days in 11 countries across 38,000 miles by way of 18 flights, exploring movement, learning and food — no better way to enter the weekend.
MOVE from Rick Mereki on Vimeo.
LEARN from Rick Mereki on Vimeo.
EAT from Rick Mereki on Vimeo.
It’s also noteworthy that Rick doesn’t appear to have a personal site or Twitter account or any centralized online presence, and even sports a Hotmail email, yet he was able to produce some of the most creatively compelling footage I’ve come across in a long time — a lesson in not judging a proverbial book by its (digital) cover. (That, or the whole thing is a viral hoax that will eventually turn out to be high-budget production promoting the recently rolled out Vimeo PRO. But let’s stay with the earnest, non-cynical take for now.)

Seasons: A Meditation on Change by French Illustrator Blexbolex
Seasons: A Meditation on Change by French Illustrator Blexbolex
by Maria Popova
by Maria Popova
French artist Blexbolex has charmed the world with his playful cartoons and illustrations, to which he brings his wonderfully eclectic creative background — classically trained as a screen-printer in 1980s France, inspired by the whodunits of the 1950s and 60s, and having directed a German art studio in the 1990s, he blends elements of cartoons, graphic novels and soft watercolor painting into simple yet endlessly whimsical artwork.
In Seasons, he contemplates the fluctuations of seasonality with his signature retro-inspired minimalism. Four spreads depict the same landscape during each season, with a single word or phrase in bold block-letters on each page. But don’t breeze by the seeming simplicity of the concept — many of the thoughtful pairings on the beautiful double-page spreads give you pause and make you wonder why and how the two words go together, gently nudging you towards a philosophical meditation on the seasons, change and impermanence.
Seasons comes from Enchanted Lion Press — an utterly charming, as-indie-as-they-come, family-owned independent publisher of (mostly) children’s books, located right up the street from my studio in Brooklyn. It’s such heart-warming joy to see good people doing wonderful work, driven by nothing more than genuine passion for what they do — if every neighborhood could have more of that, the world would be a better place.

Sweet Potato salad
I just love orange/red sweet potato, so I tried this one.
All you need:
-Lettuces
-Sweet potato (red/orange) ..boiled...
-Onion
-Cheddar cheese (cut into small dices)...
The ingredients for my version of caesar salad dressing are:
a bit of anchovies, 2 tbsp mayonaise, a couple of mashed cloves of garlics, olive oil, a bit of lemon juice. Basicly how much for this and that it's up to your taste.
Just mix everything, season with salt and pepper, and then you'll get your caesar dressing :)
Don't you just love the color? I just love colorfull food, especially with their own natural colors :)
