Pop That Booty - Dangdut Style!

Went to get myself a drink in the kitchen when I noticed my grandparents watching a Live Dangdut concert on RTM 1 in the living room last Sunday; and almost instantly, I found myself engrossed in the show too!

Seeing such heavyweights like Mas Idayu and Sheeda singing and gelek-ing(?) on stage really brought back memories of my Primary School days - back when Dangdut was way more popular than R&B is today!

Therefore, in tribute to Dangdut itself, I decided to compile a playlist of popular Dangdut songs for the listening pleasure of you, my dearest readers.

Those who vividly recall the Dangdut era would definitely find most of the songs familiar; and yes, of course I had to include the (now) anthem Yang Tersayang by Amelina & Iwan (cue: Ewah, ewah, ewah!), as well as hits like Cintaku 100% and Dag, Dig, Dug.

Oh, I am missing one hit track though, thanks to the stupid 30-second rule on Imeem. Does anyone out there have Senggol-senggolan, Cubit-cubitan by Mas Idayu? If you do, could you kindly send it to me on MSN, so that I can upload it to the playlist as well? Thanks!

In the meantime... Let's GELEK!!!! ;)

18 Months

Today also marks 18 months since KS and I went our separate ways.

It's been one helluva year and a half, to say the least.

I had actually wanted to commemorate the occasion by asking him out for dinner, and then surprising him with a little "break-up anniversary" gift; but unfortunately, he's got some school-related commitment to attend to.

Oh well...

To my dear KS, just in case you're wondering, that's the reason why I so eagerly wanted to meet you for dinner tonight. And yes, I was thinking of having dinner at your favourite Nasi Lemak stall at Holland Village.

Once again, oh well...

6 Down, 18 To Go.

Todays marks exactly 6 months since my enlistment.

It'll only be another 18 months before I can finally shout "ORD OH!" to my juniors, but unlike most others, I'm really enjoying life in NS; so I don't mind waiting, really.
