English translation:Where have you been, John?
Explanation:
Ilang-ilang= menghilang, Indonesian word, informal conversation. Dalam hal ini mungkin John lama tidak muncul dalam pergaulan. The word 'kong' doesn't have any meaning. More examples of this style: the use of 'ding, sih, deh, teh, kok, loh, lah, to' etc.
