I just want to have a good time.
We start with your favorite, a keconcong:
Next we listen to a Malay eclectic:
This song suits you, it starts with "you who hides behind the silk..."
Next we move to an Indonesian ballad:
It talks about the singer's relationship with a perfect girl.
I like this song *[] much. It talks about the Glory of God:
* Noted Sarah.
This song reminds me of a simple life. It talks about Minah, a girl from the farm:
Except for the second song, the rest are Indonesians. Let's try a Malay eclectic:
This song was meant for me.
This next song was sang by a couple of buskers who made it big in the main stream. They are true artists:
The title means, Do You Still Remember?
We move to the East Coast of Malaysia to my place of birth, Terengganu, land of beautiful beaches and islands. Notice, the dialect is different:
Next stop is north of Terengganu to Kelantan. Although they are neighbors, the dialects are totally different:
This genre is known as Dikir Barat. The rest of Malaysia don't understand this dialect. I learned Kelantanese dialect while I was in the boarding school, Sekolah Alam Shah. Many Kelantanese **the[s]e during my time.
** I see you like that dialect yeah? So you are a simple down to earth girl after all, right Sarah?
We then move to Southern Thailand. They speak like the Kelantanese but the babes there ***[] more happening:
*** Ah so you like huh? That is why when Malaysians want to let loose, we go to Southern Thai. Many married secretly to the Thais as well.
Ooops, I forgot. There is another dialect that I am quite proficient. That is the Negeri Sembilan dialect. They are south of Selangor where I am residing now:
The last dialect I am fluent in is the Northern Dialect. Namely because I grew up in Perak, which is slightly up north in Malaysia. The dialect have a heavy emphasis on the letter R and they normally end a sentence with an Aaa.
That's my eclectic dozen. Honorable mentions are the joget. Here are some samples:
Joget are upbeat songs for folks dancing. This song was the song I played when I was courting Shanaz my alien wife:
The joget is normally accompanied with pantun as the lyrics. It's 4 parts to a pantun. The first 2 is the illustration and the next two is the meaning. Normally the verses ****[] in pairs. If verse 1 ends with A, the 3rd verse is an A. Verse 2 is paired with verse 4. Same thing, if it ends with B the 4th verse end with B.
**** Oh OK, you like pantun too. Hey, wanna give it a try?
For example:
Dua tiga kucing belari
Mana nak sama si kucing belang
Dua tiga boleh ku cari
Mana nak sama *****ci[d] adik sorang
Meaning:
Two, three cats running
Not the same with the stripe cat
Two, three I can find
Not the same like you the one
***** Hahaha I'm flattered. But cik adik is the girl. Cik abang is the guy. Get it?
Here is a good example:
Here is another upbeat joget. It is interlaced with Dangdut (Indonesian eclectic). The title Senyum lah Che Mek Molek is Kelantanese though. The Kelantanese refer to their fair maidens as Che Mek Molek. Che Mek means maiden, molek means fair. So the title is Smile Fair Maiden.
Hey, make sure you come and visit Malaysia next year. It is Visit Malaysia 2020. I had been pimping my country like nobody's business here LMAO.
I tell you what Sarah, if you come, stay in One World Hotel. It's 5 minutes walking distance from my house. It's next to the Bandar Utama MRT. I highly recommend it:
No worries, I'll be your tour guide.

Dear Chedet,
Since it is Sunday, I decided to hang loose with you. Here is me acting as the ambassador of Visit Malaysia Year 2020 to Sarah:
What can I say Chedet, whenever I do this it also covers several countries.
Enjoy my selection Sir
