Juliana Shafira Tackles an Uneven Eyebrow and a Fried Rice Lament in One-Hour Chat

AKA VIRTUAL — Juliana Shafira spent a good part of a one-hour freetalk on Sunday trying to get her eyebrows to look right on screen. Early on she noticed that one side looked different from the other, and she came back to it more than once, checking settings and asking viewers whether they could see the eyebrow at all. Around the 25-minute mark she declared it fixed, saying the eyebrows had been there all along, hidden behind her hair.

She had opened the stream, under the name Piwa, by saying she could chat for only an hour or her stomach would give out. She said the power had gone out for about ten minutes before she started and that thunder was rolling outside. The stream turned into a loose tour of her evening: a basket of toy fruit, including a stretchy plastic pear she showed off while insisting it was not edible, and a hunger she decided to hold off until the stream ended.

“I’m like a newborn fawn.” — Juliana Shafira, after her legs fell asleep

The longest tangent was about fried rice. She said the stall she used to buy from changed hands after the original seller died, and that the food was never the same once the seller’s child took over the cooking. She switched to another vendor, only to find that stall closed because the vendor’s child was sick. Her legs then fell asleep while she was talking, and she stood up to shake them out, saying she looked like a newborn fawn.

Later she held up a photo someone had sent of her standee. She said it had apparently been taken home by staff instead of being auctioned, and blamed the camera angle for how the picture looked. She also talked through an arrangement for a voice-note request, setting a deadline of the 10th for it.

She ended the stream by thanking viewers who had joined as members, gifted memberships and donated, then said it was time for her to go back to hibernation.
