Thoroughly upset...
What the hell were we thinking.
But more importantly what the hell were they thinking.
Being without a "parent group / kumpulan bimbingan" doesnt give us the right to have performed that way. And whatever it is, i think participating in a competition just to acknowledge the going off of two members for National Service is lame. Why doesnt he use his brains instead of his mouth?
And why have a reporting time if all of us are not gonna be there 1 hour after reporting time let alone on the reporting time. I hate being the only string that keeps it all attached.
I wanna just walk away but i dont think there's a street where i can freely express the contents of my heart in poetry. There's no street where i'll be walking with my 'family' members.
And im upset as Dikir was made a mockery. Groups thinking they can be overnight Kelana Purbas. Doesnt voice quality come first, before ragam? Isnt clapping loudly/compactly more important that anticipation of the next ragam? Why wasnt the song the highlight of each performance? Is ragam really that important?
(At this point i might get into trouble but heck, its my blog.)
Some pengasas also seem to not be using their brains. If that group is not ready, then back out from the competition. If you gonna argue about providing exposure, well then it seems like your exposing them into the line of mockery. Oh and continue to have "fancyful ragams" that no one in the team can execute or even comprehend. Memang sudah takdir lebih layak mereka jadi Nelayan.
Jangan setakat memenuhi syarat!
And as always, being the one who trys to lip read each word the juara or karut sings, i notice that a monotonous pattern of"kupasan" of the theme is occuring. (Including ours by wak cantuk.[Im full of regrets]) Some i cant even tell what they are talking about, since making out what they are softly singing is already a hard job. I was really hoping for SDP's naskah to get the award since more or less i've went through with the 'one and only' his process of actually finding a topic for the set. It was interesting, an eye-opener, a learning experience.
Overall, Planet Dikir didnt end off with a bang. So much for a finale.
The only highlight was the Twiggies i got from Kamar barber. The host nana just finished introducing the judges and so i clapped with the other (cukupkan syarat) non-ikhlas clappers. Then he turned and said "Tepuk nya pasal" then he gave the chocolatey packet to me.
Well i'm to 'this generation' to have actually seen the legend perform but i have heard remarkable stories. Maybe the twiggies i ate had some kind of sakti that would be passed on to me. hahaha to cure my inability to play percussion. Maybe i should have took twiggies from the other 3 judges too..
From Zaidy for wider malay vocabulary and poeticness.
From Kak Ju for karutless/proper karut skills
From Ayu for the ability to seem bored at most of the performance. heh well..
Upset and unconsolable
