POJOK RUMPIK
The mega-popular Indonesian word "Rumpi" comes from a Jakarta Drag-slang word for malicious-queeny-cheeky gossip. "Pojok" means corner. Pojok Rumpi is Wijaya Media's rumpi opinion page cum media-watchdog.
It is Rumpi Spontan is in the true spirit of rumpi sari dewi.

Dear Made,

Can’t agree with you more!! Get it right or don’t do it! Your knowledge of Bali is astounding and humbling…long live fastidiousness and the upholding of truth. Don’t let’s let history and culture go the way of everything else in Bali since the mass bule invasion ….all neat and cute.
I liked the film but I was glad to read your constructive and helpful comments. I hope they are listened to and noted. They are lucky to be given such advice!
Keep waving that flag for truth, justice and the Balinese way!!

Love,
Asri

Rucina, Re:the below email

Who is this dingbat Melody Kemp? Not the one who used to bang Superman on Sayan RIdge? Or one of Lawrence 's Angels?? Is Naprosyn an enzyme retardant used on faded patchwork batik panty shields?

"Overly fastidious" !! These lightweights are lucky to have a free range expert ready to weigh in!! You can't be overly fastidious with history and Bali 's culture, ya dingbat!! Call something "Rites for Peace" and prepare for war!! And Miss Kemp's so unfastidious that she can't get past a few typos!!

What is this " had the wit not to rely on technology"? Like standing there in the gutter at the hideous Century 21 telling the fops what they got wrong? I did that ......and their eyes glazed over...coz like most of Bali 's pseudo intellectuals / pseudo film-makers/pseudo anthropologists these days...they are not really truth warriors!!!

Rucina, happy birthday from all the Saggitarians who celebrate this rite and are now queued up to buy out the Naprosyn.
Made's overly fastidious response would have had more power if he had spell checked it, or even had the wit to not have to rely on technology.

And Sloanes are a tad outre.

Much love
