My 4th weekend
How have I been doing? Not bad really...In fact, I am smiling right now. In fact, I am in a rather jovial mood despite sleeping for only 5 hours last night...
I have been trying to experiment with "Introductions". How do I actually capture my reader's attention? Will readers get bored of reading my weekly updates? My musings? My thoughts? I came up with something in the middle of last week. I wanted to start my post with:
"Gymming with Dangdut"
- I have been going to the gym at my apartment regularly and I observed that the music played depends very much on the counter staff on duty. On good days, I am running along with hip-hop thumping sounds in the background, which inadvertently create images of toned buffed bods ... a la... Jennifer Lopez. On bad days, I have techno dance tracks which only distract me from regulating my breathing. On amazing days, I run to dangdut. Dangdut is a popular music genre here in Indonesia. In a nutshell, it is a pop fusion with old-skool diva glam. It consists of a shrieking singer, dance beats and traditional clingling and clanging of a dysfunctional gamelan ensemble. It never fails to amuse me. I run with a vengence when it is Dangdut.
The title, Gymming with Dangdut is rather 'flat' don't you think?
