# “Memang Blur” — M’sian Man Bewildered After Friends Hire Kompang Troupe To Celebrate His Birthday

For most birthdays, people would usually throw a small party among friends and family members or have a birthday meal at a restaurant.

One young man however, got the most unexpected birthday surprise after his friends hired a *kompang* troupe to perform for him.

## Hired a kompang troupe

In a now-viral [video](https://twitter.com/isusemasaviral/status/1590540786818744327?s=46&t=ZyVmC1h3n2dpadXEY0rfCQ) posted by @isusemasaviral on Twitter, the man was hanging out with his friends at a restaurant.

Suddenly, a group of men clad in baju Melayu entered the premise and began playing the *kompang*.

This left the man deeply confused, who had a blur look on his face as he tried to make sense of what was going on.

Turns out that his friends wanted to do something special on his birthday and decided to hire a *kompang* troupe to do so.

After one of his friends brought out the birthday cake, the *kompang* team 'Happy Birthday' song in English and Mandarin, much to the amusement of everyone present.

As for the man, all he could do was to bury his face in his hand in bewilderment.

Some also said that this would give *kompang* performers a new platform to exhibit their talents as it was mostly reserved for weddings.
