Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World and Friends

Holiday season is here... yaay!

Meri Kirihimete..

To those celebrating, wishing you a wonderful Christmas and you can spend it with your loved one. It is always the best to share special moments to those who have been so good and supportive towards the year. And what a year it has been! 

2022 has been special, especially for us The Frakarsas. Again, this is the year where we gratefully thanks our Rabb for abundant blessings, prosperity and joy. I hope we all have enough time to ponder upon the past year and find the revived spirit to have even a more brilliant year in 2023!

This December we have many plans and road trips being drafted. Some are realized, some still have to wait. I don't say we won't be doing it, but hopefully what we can always replan until we can thick our to-do and to-go list. Honestly, there are so many places and so many things to do where I have to wait, for quite some times, before I can actually visit or do them. I always believe that everything will be perfect at its own time, so be patience and have faith.

Discovering Incredible WOW - World of WearableArt Award 2022

The Lady Warrior by Rinaldy Yunardi, the Supreme WOW Award 2022 winner

Kia ora..
Hi everyone.. 

Hope all is well and we continue to enjoy lovely days wherever we are.

I have been wanting to share my experience of watching WOW - World of WearableArt Award here in Wellington, New Zealand. It's certainly one of the unique experience I have while living in Aotearoa. Before that, I have encountered the information of WOW since I first landed in Christchurch, New Zealand. Apparently, this event is world-wide famous and undoubtedly, too good to miss

After some pause due to COVID-19 pandemic, one of the most - sought and favorite events the this coolest little capital is back. And it's back with a big bang! 

WOW has been famous for its one-of-a-kind, edgy and memorable show. Clever combination of out-of-this-world fashion designs, non-stop live music, stunning stage and theatric laser show certainly made WOW get its reputation as one of the world-class performance. I have to say it's a perfect combination between Cirque du soleil, live music and non-stop parade of creativity! Too bad we cannot take any photos or videos during the show, we can only do that just a little before and after!

Here's my ticket...

We have bought the ticket since the beginning of the year and we got quite a bargain for the award night. We came to the venue, the TSB Arena, quite early. There was a line up to get the ticket checked and enter the show. It was in September and I have to say the weather was quite chilly as we are in the middle of winter. Yet, that doesn't stop me and Stella, my dear colleague from the Embassy, to come and dress specially for the ocassion! I was wearing my cape-kebaya adorned with embroideries in blue, red, and white, from my favorite boutique, Batik Chic.

Long story short, after arrivingin TSB Arena and lining up for the entrance, we managed to be inside the hall and stroll around before entering the venue. We grabbed the program book, got some souvenirs, brought drinks and munchies, then headed inside the venue. It was impressive! And our seat is not too far away. Only a couple of rows behind the VVIPs tables. We even saw PM Jacinda Ardern and her husband that night. We happened to buy the ticket for the award show. 

What makes it special is that show, we will have the announcement of all the winners.
Estere, Sharn Te Pou and the creative teman behind this show made the night even more special with their original songs, compositions and dances. And surprise, surprise... PM Jacinda was taking the walk on the stage wearing one of the original designs from Aotearoa New Zealand. Cool!

some of the moments taken in WOW 2022, before and after the show.

Moreover, in 2019, the WOW show before COVID - 19 pandemic, the winner for is from Indonesia, Rinaldy Yunardi. He managed to win the Supreme WOW Award, for his design, Lady Warrior, showing his extraordinanry expertise in transforming fragile, organic materials, into such an amazing and beautiful design. 

Do you want to see how wonderful it was? 

Check these photos I took as they showcased this amazing design in the venue. I was lucky to see them right before the show. Get closer to see some details of his exquisite designs.

This year, Monica Ivena from Indonesia also joined the competition but she didn't win.

All in all, I really had so much fun watching this show. I pretty much vowed to go back again next year for the next one. Dame Suzie Moncrieff, the creator of WOW, certainly has established an amazing platform that showcase amazing melange of fashion, art, music, cutting-edge technology, and more.

So, what do you think of WOW 2022? 

For sure I will wait for WOW 2023 and make sure I won't miss it!

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World and Friends

Hello spring and hello to you all!

To those living in a northern part of the world, you are now entering one of the most beautiful seasons in the year, autumn. But for us in the southern athmosphere, it's time to embrace the blossoming flowers and trees and warmer weather! 

Spring is in the air!

Although Wellington still have many rainy days and freezing mornings, at least the afternoon is clear and sunny, giving you a warming feeling and excitement. This will be the first spring for us at Aotearoa and we're already packed with plans to explore the country more. 

We just recently visited Aston Norwood Garden  (click HERE to see more photos and story) to enjoy cherry blossoms in greater Wellington and strolled around Paraparaumu Beach plus Paekakariki Lookout. It's just lovely to go outdoor and enjoy the fresh air! Next, we have Rotorua, lake Taupo (again) and Auckland in the agenda! Hope we stay healthy and fit to do all this wonderful plan.

Moreover, work wise, we have more offline meetings and coordination. Again, it's so good to meet people face-to-face after all these years. I know the pandemic is not yet gone but with the vaccines and boosters and all the supplements as well as health supplies that we can utilize, we are confident enough to start doing our activities as we did it before. Well, not entirely the same but similar in many aspects. All in all, we are adapting with the new normal without sacrificing too much of our social life as human. 

Now, we have a great line up of blogs this week and I sincerely hope you do enjoy this edition's of Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World , Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends!

spring is coming to my neighborhood as well!
