Mazween The New

There I was sitting atop a high chair that looked like a bench but comfortable for the availability of a cushion on top and an addition that makes the entire furniture set of one small round table and two benches. Could not call them high benches as the terms may be associated with the legal profession,yet things were all dangdut and I was innermost one or the famous or rather infamous of one or two and one more dangdut establishments left but no one really knows except a few and of whom insignificant to the rest of things in KayEl(KL). Mazween walked to the table and of which was only so near about 5 feet away,immediately sat on a bench besides my bench and we sat side by side and conversed side by side on topics to break ice. But no ices to break as the girl knew I wanted to boogie the infernal dangdut steps to the dance. She looked novice and new and ne'er was her dancing gait present but a walk imitating a profession entirely different. She said she was sous chef before deciding to change profession to one completely opposed. Yet she was confident to dance an old timer's booking for the hour or two hours. There was a certain eagerness in her thus the undeterred confidence she wholesomely showed. However she need be tried upon the dance floor for the more than natural disposition she displayed as dancer to the dance. Could the dance be necessary to her or just an empty wish or necessary but not natural or natural and necessary. But what dance can be necessary to anything or things associating to dance that can be natural and necessary and in the end totally unnecessary. An Epicurean conundrum indeed. She took to dance the slow four step and did splendidly at first but fumbled a bit a minute later. She was so nervous the fact was and was also perspiring even though the air conditioner was very cooling and nice. If she can be so nervous then she can only be respectful for the art and I respect that. She has eagerness and talent but an aptitude not yet polished but will be soonest. And she did not include labels to anything she does when dangdut can be so controversial. I kept on whispering relax more than a few times but she was too eager to be perfect when to be perfect is to ease the mind to not be and only the dance remains - to move, to prance and to wiggle to tones and beats. So much so that the only beingness is the dance. Yet as of the time and temporal her limbs are still kinda stiff but will become supple and graceful when she becomes aware only of dance and dance alone. No need too much practice for her as she was eager and so much of dance inside her. Philosophy can be false when her truth and her philosophy are hers alone and she becoming queen of dangdut salsa that no one knows when dangdut kings are disappearing. But aren't we all holding our philosophies, false or otherwise, when our truths are ours and other truths are others.

Reminiscing

Roxana called to meet but this there was intense seriousness in her the likes of having something important to say and must not be over the phone. Couldn't be pregnant I thought to myself as I did not even touched her let alone other things. Even Bella is still intact as far as I know as the same case with Roxana I haven't done anything to tarnish their reputations let alone their entire being ness. Philosophers of old would comment on love even though love that they quipped having only utility and utilitarian in most if not all in the their pontifications. However my love for both Roxana and Bella is love for the other or my other that would complement me as a whole or my other that would say more about me or that can substantiate my existence the while as a man with something accompanying as ever and forever more. I was looking for a Missus to live immortality in that our kids should they arrive be our continuity and our legacies - in their minutest and testaments to our sojourns upon mother planet - Earth. Such high aspirations but what that they cannot be if to live the temporal then and as humans that need pass a cycle. Time was cyclical and a cycle of youth to complete into manhood cum womanhood and to live and breed if the words were to sound hard and coarse. But that was the notion what was with the sex organs excitedly vibrating and eager to procreate all the more. Yet there were the customs and rites to follow and that they can totally not do without. Yet, Roxana was seeking an ultimatum that I gave decision as the family had introduced a suitor so suiting and so nice for her. But her emotions was for me and she need confirmation and for me not to procrastinate any more. You see Roxana was adamant and she showed that disposition throughout our brief relationship and I totally appreciated that and in fact was thinking towards her direction howsoever needed a bit more time to prepare for the eventual moment. Oh Roxana the Malay beauty - kinda hazel and acquiescing and Bella - so fair and of mixed parentage - occidental and orient. Howsoever Bella was so young and unsure when Roxana - matured and responsible. Seeing that Roxana was in a hurry as such I had to let her go in order for her to meet and marry a better man. The very next day Bella called to immediately end things and for reasons entirely her own. Later that I came to know that she was actually young and confused. But she had youth with her and so the issue was it wasn't an issue. But a broken man that I became having lost two for the the price of none but my heart. Consequently that I wander alone and lost till I found hibiscus the dangdut dancing lounge plus meeting lovely Sherry that healed my wound but that was another story and one below upon my long list of posts in my dangdut blog. Please surf earlier post for the Sherry story..hohohohoho

Dangdut Finally Ending?

I was at the private parking lot beside Seri Mutiara (SM) putting on my dangdut shoes - a pvc or soft plastic shoes - cheap but remarkably black and officious but the thin layer purposely and aesthetically dyed has peeled away but since it was dark at night no one should notice. However I had to put on socks if only to showcase their dangdutness and whilst doing so, I noticed Mikey, Prince and Veteran Steven not ten meters away. They too have arrived from driving around town with no specific destination and when I called before shooting to SM that they totally agree to join me. I told them that I had to go four stepping a couple of months - since - to reach at materials to update my dangdut blog and will only spend a few minutes inside to dance to be inspired and if they don't really fancy boogeing they can wait at Farouk's cafe del monsoon drain enjoying teh tarik and maggie goreng while I wiggle on the first floor of the dangdut establishment. They agree and are also willing to dance the inspirational tones along with. But Farouk was closed and of all days when it will always be on business nearly 24/7 - 365 days a year. Things were already looking ominous. I straight away went up the flight of stairs to the dangdut hall but found a sort of strangeness inside. It was empty as it can only be as proper dangduting started at only past midnight but I can sense something not so usual unlike my past visits. I found out the bit later that Mummy Annie has left the club for her recently established catering business. And the mummy replacing her, I had no inkling as to who she was. Was she a dancer or just an executive employed to be Mummy? Can she dance and with overall feel for the tunes? Has she romance for dangdut? Or that she can choose as to who to book to boogie with and a dangdut old timer such as me. My sentiments shot straight down and myself was left literally dangdut empty at that time. I was immediately downcast and I chose to leave SM the instant. With a heavy heart I suggested to Prince, Mikey and Steven that we proceeded to Extravaganza instead. But at Extravaganza also there wasn't the ambiance I was totally familiarized with. Dierdre has also left the club to be full time homemaker and mum at home plus to take care of hubby Elvis Rosly who has since recuperated nicely. There was this tomboyish lass answering that all the dancing girls can dance when I asked as to who can ( meaning those who can dance the dangdut salsa ala four step ) and Mummies when asked such would know what was being required and without mentioning specifics. Absolutely disheartened I went to join the boys for teh tarik outside. Seemingly as I perceived dangdut is gone for an evolved one but how evolved I can only guess. To me dangdut has already reached its end and has become final - intrinsically and extrinsically, and it has reached its farthest point and not exist anymore but the clubs are still around but the players have changed and me being a senior knows only the old people and when they left the scene I knew not what to do. But the new players may bring fresh dynamism to one which is already dead. Maybe I have to go check SM and Extravaganza and stay a bit longer innermost observing and feeling the music again. But deep inside I knew that contemporary sounds and current club folks will take over. A dangdut aficionado can only  reminisce..hohohohoho

A First Post For The Year

I have been meaning to update the dangdut aficionado blog and the very first for the year but has been nought for ideas since so long not go meandering to a dangdut joint when innermost and four stepping a few tunes emanating from also a few of dance genres that I can arrive of materials to compose blog posts. Seemingly inside the very dangdut establishment that I can conjure disinterest things to suit my irrelevant stories upon my insignificant blog. Maybe that I am inconsequential also but what's not to take pride in unrelenting ego trips just to prove of existence whence existence itself can be unimportant except to family and work. Friends as per friends and everyday associates are difficult to attach any epithets as  Best Friends Forever, as friends can be busy with their day to day routines and concerns that they too will snigger at the ludicrousness of such cheesy nomenclatures. Only teenage girls bubbly enough to get excited about boys to tell to school buddies could be best described as BFF.or Best friends forever - what cheekiness. Even civic landscapes change much like change becoming the only dynamism left and death the sole certainty. Upon surface of the earth and observing and experiencing sun rays or moon glows that we give to mundane procedures that mark our journey on it till demise whence the aftermath of which remain conjectures and guesses to some but definitive to the faithful. Yet even agnostics and atheists need be buried and diminished into ashes so we need to visit places of worship to prepare acquaintances the very least to assist us in death when we are no longer aware and about. Howsoever,where do atheists and agnostics visit? The world now is unlike the time of The prophet SAW when companions love him more than anything else. Now people are so impersonal and the world's so detached that even the soul is a novelty. Soul is systemic to God and one without the other just dissipates so much so that everybody became soulless against all material imperatives that so determine our collective existence as per our concurrent beingness onto a decaying,decadent and lifeless system. And in that configuration we will be all reduced to total and virtual insignificance. Or in a way the nothingness of post modern or post post modern considerations when to not be somewhere agreed is nothingness and what can be more silly. He wasn't there because he was shitting in a toilet somewhere due to holiday stomach as the case may be. That's what western philosophy has come to be when God and soul is deleted. They showcase evolution and complex Darwinism that they lost footage in explaining the very notion that nothingness become nonsenseness. Whence all can be so easy with God and soul and infinity. Perchance all's modern and meta modern can still be viable and lovely when God and Soul is backdrop,background and back of mind.and much vibrant too. And what can all the above said be about dangdut? But dangdut stays amidst all dynamism and of friends and enemies not being forever and a lonely dangdut aficionado finds solace in dancing the dangdut,cha cha, joget and zapin in a dingy dangdut club somewhere along a rubbish strewn backstreet in old KayEl (Kuala Lumpur). Then again that's dangdut ego talking and nothing more. Dangdut's nothingness and nonsenseness...hohohohohohoho
