Maybe kef kef means here the same it's not standart arabic for sure , it's some arabic , for example when you want to buy sweets and the seller ask you which color red or white... but you don't care about it's color you just say "kef kef" :) . And for the other word i don't know what it means sorry .
keef = how ( in standard arabic it's Kaifa كيف )
em'tada= if it's not egyptian dialect then I guess the origin of the word is mada مضى which means " something gone/ past "
so it means " how did it go? " but not " how is it going?"
