Keri Hilson - Pretty Girl Rock

Nona 12 Dec 2010: Episode 50

Hi! this is my second appearance on TV3 (after Wanita Hari Ini). For this appearance, I was being honoured to be one of the models for Sofira Boutique.

Founded in 2006 by Diana Faisal, the line was inspired by her travels. Diana, ever the keen observer, noticed emerging trends and styles happening around the world and wanted to introduce them to the Malaysian fashion scene. And guess what? The scene fell in love with her vision.

Check out the latest collection at www.sofiraonline.com. Prices start from RM575. Sofira is available at 1, Lorong Damai 13 Kiri, Off Jalan Ampang. Tel: 03-2162 0470. It’s also available at Luxury Vintage at Plaza Damas, Sri Hartamas (03-6203 2752).

Photoshoot Jelita magazine for Razman Razmi

Lake Garden Photoshoot with Asri Hashim

Theme: The Bridezilla

This was the first time I involved in photographer's creative photoshoot. It was so much fun: I met new model friends, make up artists and super talented photographers. I love shooting outdoors, but the thing was, I sweat like a cow and I was kinda messing the photos (was perspiring a lot and i messed the makeup *and the wardrobe*!). My body just can't stand the noon heat at the Lake Garden. but the shoot must go on. (LOVE THE PHOTOS A LOADDDD!)

The Mandailing - my culture, my tribe

* for more details about mandailing wedding (tradisi, busana, tatarias and kuliner) u can browse to: http://www.weddingku.com/traditional/tradition.asp?cat=2

Mandailing bride

The Mandailing is a traditional cultural group in Southeast Asia. They are found mainly in the northern section of the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. They came under the influence of the Kaum Padri who ruled the Minangkabau of Tanah Datar. As a result, the Mandailing were influenced by Muslim culture and converted to Islam. Previous to their conversion, they practised Hinduism and Parmalim (Batak native religion). There are also a group of Mandailing in Malaysia, especially in the states of Selangor and Perak. They are closely related to theAngkola, who are mixed between Muslim and Christian adherents.

Mandailing bride and the traditional house

The etymology of 'Mandailing' is said to be a coupounding of the words mande, meaning 'mother', and hilang, meaning 'lost'. Thus, the name is said to mean "lost mother". Some research has suggested that the Mandailing are the descendants of the Batak, who migrated to the south before the coming of the Portuguese and Dutch colonisation of Sumatra. There they converted to Islam and intermarried with Minangkabau and the Malay peoples. Mandailing society is patriarchal, employing family names, or marga, in the same manner as the Batak, Simalungun, and Karo. The same marga can be found, such as Lubis, Nasution, Siregar, Hasibuan, Harahap, Dalimunthe (originally from Munthe), Matondang, Rangkuti, Parinduri, Pulungan, Rambe, Daulae(y), Pohan, Batubara (not to be confused with the Batu Bara people from the east coast of Sumatra), Barus and Hutajulu.

The bride is wearing ‘bulang’ (crown of mandailing virgin), gonjong hiasan dada, selendang songket, baju kurung, puttu (arm accesories), pending, keris dan sarung songket. meanwhile, the groom is wearing tengkulok mandailing (or called ‘tukku/happu’ – head gear from beludru), baju teluk belango, puttu (arm accessories), kris, sarung songket sebatas lutut, and long pants.
