She speaks bahasa Indonesia with messed up grammar, inaccurate dictions, unclear meaning, along with Indonesian way of speaking e.g. “woi” (=slang of “hey”) also Rusian one e.g. “woi monyet” (hey monkey). All of them make her unique and more than funny before Indonesian viewers. Even, to be frank, she could beat Indonesian best comedians.

It seems her husband — Robby Shine, half Indonesian & half Indian — shaped such character of Natasya with big success. It might be started with misuse of wrong dictions and incorrect grammar spoken by Natasya, and then it in turned getting processed to become packages of entertainment.

“Bagus Istri” (=good wife) is her trademark. Why is it so funny to hear that? Because such phrase is not found in Indonesian. The proper expression for “good wife” is “istri (yang) baik”. Istri = wife, baik = good. While “bagus” is synonymous with “baik”.

Even if she was called “istri bagus”, it would not really be common Indonesian expression. There is different impression or usage between “baik” and “bagus”.

When the phrase is twisted to be “bagus Istri”, the viewer’s laugh starts. See? Incorrect grammar becomes special at the right place, called entertainment.

Such character seems solely for Natasya. If other woman played this role, they most probably wouldn’t be as good as Natasya.

Here is how “Shine and Shine” perform their play. The husband complains about the messed up language by her wife. And it’s impossible to be translated. ^_^.

Note for Robby Shine: He uses Medan city dialect, which gives comedy touch even better. 😎

First time ate J.CO donut more than ten years ago, I was surprised. That’s what I remember. 🙂

Bule Barbie AKA Daria Dasha, is a newcomer in Indonesia’s entertainment world which has unique, funny character. She and her family moved to Bandung, and within 8 month she can speak Indonesian quite good. She loves Sundanese culture, and once she ‘declares’ as a Sundanese with white look ~ in her performance.

Bandung is a city with relatively good temperature for people from cold countries, i.e. around below 18°C to 31°C. It had the title ‘Paris van Java’, Flower City, and its residents are creative with various good works from food to fashion, music etc.

She once interviewed the boss of Rocksdenim fashion brand. And it’s revealed that one of his keys to success is “Honesty” ~ as also advised by his parents since his childhood.

Wait a minute,

Is Honesty really secret in business world? 🤔

I’m not management expert, nor student, but so far the strategy to success are standard: hardworking, networking, discipline, or such.

But “honesty”? Do schools teach it in their business theory?

Maybe, I’m not sure. But it is a logical way to run a business. Trust business is not only for banking, but also for all kind of businesses.

Once customers lose their trust on a particular company, it means its doomsday is near. 😂

Daria likes living in Indonesia for Indonesians are of more relax society, like to laugh and humor, not in a hurry etc. (Any culture has plus and minus I guess)

And I see her way of joke is outstanding.

She likes bonteng (Sundanese for cucumber, or ketimun/mentimun in Indonesian) and this cucumber is regarded as her boyfriend. She brings cucumber as her trademark, and gives it to people she meets.

Quite weird but funny. 😎 Yes, uniqueness is kinda the Bible in entertainment.

They used to live in Indonesia when still young and the memory of living in Indonesia still lasts till present time.

They hold a gathering once a month.

Renai Circulation by Kana Hanazawa

Renai Circulation ~ Rainych (cover)

Rainych specializes Japanese song cover. A lot of Indonesians like K-Pop, some of them prefer J-Pop.

Yeah, J-Pop sounds cool and fresh, doesn’t it?

This is how local Indonesians do when encountering a foreign tourist. Asking so many questions, including private ones. ^_^

It’s about getting used of something, or improvement in particular field.

About BEFORE and AFTER

For example:

BEFORE:

Generally Indonesian knew nothing about computer, coding, bitcoin, photoshop, video editing etc. including FLAT EARTH 😂😂😂

AFTER:

And then we got in touch with the west. Finally we know those stuff.

What about westerners and other foreigners in case of Smile?

BEFORE:

They rarely smiled except with their peer groups or those who are close to them.

AFTER:

They got in touch with Indonesians, and voila, they smile more than ever.

Let’s take an example: Maia

BEFORE 👇

AFTER 👇

Clara

BEFORE 👇

AFTER 👇

What about Indonesians? Most of them are at the stage of AFTER, except a few people.

Me for example.

Me so far is always at BEFORE stage i.e. not good enough at Smiling 😂😂😂

Because I’ve always had only a few friends 😂😂😂

But ironically, if it comes to hanging out with kids or teenagers, I can even be a clown. 😂😂😂

So…. every one of you basically is GOOD at SMILE. 😎

If we see food rating videos with Indonesians, we sometimes think “is this rated fairly?”.

Anyway this video contains non Indonesian, so we may have an assumption that the food is rated fairly.

Yet the other videos with Indonesians in it (usually as a host) the food rate is relatively the same as in this video: positive. Even those Indonesians urge to rate the food as it is. No problem even if the rate is 3/10 for example.

This content costs a lot of money I guess. Indonesia is called “Mather’s Land”. All those bride’s crowns are big enough, except for Javanese crown. And the different thing is there is ‘pencil tattoo’ on her forehead.

What does it mean?
