PAPA REPLIES

It must be said that papa was verily overjoyed when he received such delightful comments from people who cared to view his inconsequential blog. The much trivial writings of a mid-aged ‘has been’, to where exactly-papa could never say, as he had been stuck mostly in K L. Perhaps to the local dangdut clubs of which the last visit was nearly three months ago. With this in mind, papa would like to explicate a bit further on the remarks of a certain anonymous about papa’s unique circumstances so as to allow him frequent patronage to dangdut establishments. Papa beg to differ, dangdut, should one take the extra precautions wouldn’t cost an arm and a leg afterwards. Be diligent at all times, request for GROs who don’t drink, booked for only an hour or two and not ordering the little extras-the buah-buah, kacang and scented paper towels. Be sure to ask the Mummy first-about whatsoever that need be inquired. The last time papa was there, he expended about seventy RM only. Not really ruinous to his budget as papa only goes dangduting about once in one or two months.
Papa should one care to know- as much has been written, is middle aged. Added to that, he also has this little niggly thing frequently associated with people his age, he’s a diabetic .So to father a child having this condition wouldn’t be the best of ideas.
Should that reciprocate another anonymous- ‘magnanimous’ remarks, papa convey his trillion apologies if his answer be construed as abrupt and blunt, he was, granting truth be disclosed, very honoured having read, the said anonymous’s remarks. If only he was 25 years younger.
On being the diabetic as revealed earlier, papa is positive about it, never fails to take his pills and persistently monitors his blood sugar levels, verily, a modern fact of life, especially for people his age.
Daman oh Daman, a longtime pal, the very person who coined the ‘Papalados’ sobriquet. Kudos to you, Bro, for taking the time viewing my little blog. Hope you’ll keep on hitting - my blog, that is.. STAY HEALTHY!
The Yang Berbahagia Dato’ part also need be rectified, papa’s not one and quite far from being a candidate for one. Veritably it was just a joke played by friends, one being Dinno- the actual person who started this blog. The story was, papa, until recently used to send his short stories, sms style to close friends. Dinno, upon receiving papa’s sms kept them all in his Dopod, being one the most advanced handphone available, it does not succumb to the ‘used up space’ phenomena unlike papa’s most basic Motorola. Until one fine day that is, whence Dinno- ever the sentient soul suggested papa set up a blog. Papa who was really I.T. myopic then, didn’t even know what the thing was. Dinno who was used to jokingly exclaimed ‘Dato’ whenever papa’s around, just happened to playfully albeit innocuously- include the lofty appellative when initially setting up the ramblings block
Well, as the story goes, papa’s is of now actively handling the blog with Dinno, from time to time, looking on. To be the language advisor remarked yet another ‘anonymous’, papa just had to decline. His English may sound bombastic and conventional: upon scrutiny, however, its full of holes and at most times totally out of context. So dear friends, hope this littlest reply from papa is commensurate to the exalted comments your goodselves rendered. Should there be any shortcomings, howsoever, do forgive him. Last but not least, please don’t stop- blogging- verily so!…cheers…Wasallam…

Yo Papa,

It's me again. Keep on rambling man. This time around I need your advice on how to minimize expenditure and maximize enjoyment at other type of joint besides dangdut (your forte).

Yup, I must say your writing is quite exceptional (there could be a hole here and there) but nevertheless it is good. You always have that talent in school but did not project it as the topics were not up to your liking. I mean the school would definitely not accept your writing of experiences in the various joint along Jalan Ampang and Wisma Central, would they? One character called Madam Rose **** was a hit then. I am just reminiscing.

Rambling Rose is a perfect tune for your blog.

Last but not least, Indra needs to be mentioned too. He also contributed in incorporating papa to lados.

Cheers!
