A dear reader sent us some pictures and asked us a question...

Dear Mpok Jane and Neng Sarah,
I'm seeing double! Explanation please...



Dear Reader,

Those pictures were taken a looong long time ago. A time when dinosaurs still roam free in Jurassic Park, a time when oversized shirts and Dr. Martens were cool, a time when DEWA was still 19 and mentally sober, a time when glitter was still associated with sparkly dust and not a 2-hour Mariah Carey on an acid trip mock-umentary. Anyway, you get the picture.

It was such a long time ago that Maia was still Maya and Mulan was still Wulandari. They were just a bunch of hicktown wannabes trying to make it in the music business under the name of PUTRI. They were so poor they had to borrow clothes from each other, even if it was just a lousy shirt from some third-rate distro. Yes dear reader, believe it or not, Maia and Mulan were once mere mortals like you and me before they became a boastful and self-loving maniacs. In fact, their hit single "TTM" was not originally titled Teman Tapi Mesra, but it was Teman Tapi Minjem.

"Cukuplah saja berteman dengankuuu...
Janganlah kau meminta lebiihhh...
Lebih baik kita berteman, kita berteman saja,
Teman tapi minjem...
Woohuwooooo...wohooo..."

Neng Sarah.
