Challenges make a nobody, a somebody

Where: Home.
Attention: Bahasa rojak hujung minggu!

Due to my nature of work, I have to be in the know of the entertainment scenario. So Pancaindera is always the first thing I grab every Sunday morning. I've read about the hot interviews with Rusdi Ramli and Akim AF7, whom I came to know about in different ways.

Rusdi Ramli
I had an interview with him several months back. I bet he got loads of questions from everyone asking why he accepted Astro's offer to be the Anak Wayang's host. He has done a lot of acting and won several awards too. The most memorable is of course the Best Male Actor in FFM20. So why not extend his career this year? Everyone needs to try something new anyway. Keep doing the same routine we are comfortable with everyday, won't take us anywhere except a place called comfort zone. We have to challenge ourself sometimes, in some different ways. And Rusdi Ramli is doing just that when he chose to challenge himself as a host. Who got away the first time? NOBODY. I saw the first show (sorry bang) memang keras macam kayu! But he evolved in the next shows and still evolving now. As much as each of the candidates growing in developing throughout the show - we can see a lot of expansion in the show itself. and of course, the hosts. Even for the fast-talking and bubly Fazura, if it not because of Rusdi's slacking pulls so much attention on the centre spread, silap-silap Fazura pun kena sekali. Biasalah benda baru - ada yang suka, ada yang tak. Ada yang boleh terima, ada yang susah menangkap angin perubahan... Mungkin sebab orang dah biasa tengok Rusdi dengan skrip hero romantis kala bercinta. Dah tu dalam drama, filem yang kita tengok dah siap edit setelah beberapa 'take' dan bertukar 'scene' pun, jadi bila tengok Rusdi Ramli gugup depan kamera dan 'live audience' - huh, mungkin ada yang rasa macam nak ambil balik gelaran Pelakon Lelaki Terbaik tu ya! :)

Akim AF7
No, I have not met Akim personally. I watched the first concert and Akim was not in my top A list (but who cares about my A or B list, right?) However, his star beginning to shine in the mid concert onwards. His journey (together with all the other AF students) is more like a revolution instead of Rusdi's evolusion. In whose right mind, you can change a person in 10 short weeks? Salah sana sikit, sini sikit, 'pitching' lari, 'punctured' di separuh akhir lagu tu dah biasa dalam kamus Akademi Fantasia. nama pun mereka budak baru belajar... and whether or not 'transformation' a big word used, I have to agree; but hey, in the end of the day - it quite works you see. If we're talking about the impact, thanks to AF, the word TRANSFORMASI has becomes a famous utterly word nowadays. And most of the AF kids do transformed in a way. Whose performance do you remember the most in A7 final concert? To me, it was Akim's 'strap-dance'. From the first concert to the last, which I saw it live, Akim is the only AF participant who has transformed so much. But that was just the beginning of his new transformation journey.

Less than half a year becomming a star, he's now facing with the downside of our entertainment industry. Awal-awal lagi Akim dah kena buat public confession and apology. Hmm, mungkin bagus jugak kena awal-awal ni kut - jangan sampai dah terhantuk baru tengadah, kan? Anyway orang tua-tua pesan, cakap siang pandang-pandang dan terlajak perahu boleh diundur, terlajak kata kena simpanlah tanjak kuning Akim tu - tak boleh undo nor 'control-alternate-delete!' Anyway, I'm sure this is a good lesson learned for Akim and all rookies the moment you become public subjects. Hubungan dengan media kena jaga tapi pihak media pun kena juga tengok tempat dan masanya. Those who are reporting, be the better person to write - jangan sampai mengaibkan orang. Those being reported, kalau tak ada angin masa kan pokok bergoyang? Those reading the reports, jangan cepat menghukum tanpa membuat penilaian seadil-adilnya. Jangan ambil bulat-bulat tanpa usul periksa dari sumber-sumber rujukan lain. (Sumber I, Pancaindera tu boleh percaya ke? Hehe... But one thing I know, lineup reporters nya memang orang lama yang tahu dan sangat berpengalaman dalam selok-belok kerja mereport mereka - kalau tak, tak kan Pacaindera tu boleh tahan lama, kan?) Ambil ikhtibar satu rancangan TV yang dah memang masuk kategori mengaibkan orang. Ishk, tak best la gitu bang, dik... Tahu la rating tinggi tapi cakap biar pandang-pandang. Hari ini kita report tentang orang. Esok-esok, orang report tentang kita pula! Begitulah arakiannya putaran dunia kita ini, kan? Namanya pun dunia tu bulat.
