Mini Showcase, "Yours Truly, <b>Nubhan</b>" - It&#39;s a Mad....Mad world

Posted: 04 May 2014 08:11 PM PDT

Official poster yang kami tampal sana sini di alam maya untuk lebih dua bulan.
Alhamdulillah, aku baru saja selesai working on a showcase. 
Kedengaran mudah kan? Tak semudah yang disangka. Aku belum pernah terlibat dengan menyelenggara satu persembahan secara langsung macam ni. Yang aku selalu buat adalah gathering Fan Club.
Gathering hanya memerlukan seseorang artis untuk menyanyikan dalam sebuah dua lagu, jalan sana jalan sini, ambil gambar, beramah mesra. (Kalau artis tu penyanyilah) Kalau artis sakit tekak tak boleh keluar suara, boleh je ditutup dengan mingle around. Peminat suka bila artis "jinak" dan mahu bergambar mesra. Contohnya rela untuk selfie bersama. 
Kemudian jadilah gathering yang indah even masa artis perform pun suara pergi kelaut. Yelah, they pay a sum of money to get personal dengan artis pujaan mereka saja. Who cares dia nak menyanyi camne bunyinya pun kan.

Showcase tak boleh. Setelah semuanya diselesaikan, it's up to the artist to sing. To be on stage and entertain. If you pay RM 100, the performance should be RM100 worth of performance. Tak siapa akan tolerate dengan performance tahap fun fair when they pay duit sebanyak itu kan?. Semua kena in order, kena jalan smoothly tanpa hiccup. Salah penonton ke bila ada expectation? TAK!! Kita minta bayaran, so kita kena perform up to the level. Mahu atau tidak.
Okay, Enuff aku merepek meraban. Anyway, untuk yang pergi memang akan tahulah apa yang terjadi disitu. Tak perlu untuk aku kasi tau apa yang berada di dalam auditorium.

Meh aku cerita apa yang berlaku di belakang a.k.a yang berlaku wayyyy back before the event take place.

Aku suka daun maple yang gugur disepanjang lagu. Gugur je tapi tak botak-botak gak pokok tu.Hahah
* Nak tahu dari mana datangnya nama " Yours Truly"? . Okay, nama ni keluar selepas aku ngan Harney nak pecah-pecah segala urat kepala di Starbucks KLCC sambil minum Java Chips Venti sorang satu. Hahhahaa. Disebabkan ini pertama kali Nubhan akan ada showcase, kami bayangkan ianya satu surat cinta. Konon nya lahhhh. Surat terima kasih pun boleh. So, surat ni akan "bercerita" kisah terima kasih dia kepada semua peminat dia. Dan bila habis surat akan ada tandatangan kan? Itulah signature dia
Tulah dia... Itu yang kami interpret kan pada nama Showcase ni.
* Yang kami tak tahu, nak buat event kat premis gomen ni nak kena lesen dari DBKL. Errkkk.... TIGA kali aku turun naik lift Menara DBKL tu untuk dapatkan lesen. Dah takat-takat nak lemas dah baru dapat. Hahahhaa.. Hambekk ko!!! Nasib baiklah dapat.
* Tu baru part DBKL. Belum part MaTIC nak buat technical meeting lagi. Technical? Aku dan Harney bukan orang technical. Kami tak tahu apa-apa. Rasa nak cabut lari jer. Nasib baiklah Nova hantar 4 orang untuk join meeting. Hehhehe.. First time meeting ngan Abang Eddie Hamid.  Bila derang cakap pasal hal-hal technical, kami cenyuummm jee. Sobssss..Sobbssss..Tak paham.. Uwaaaaaa!!!!
Cantik kan mini auditorium ni. 
* Tak abih lagi part DBKL ngan MaTIC, muncul plak part POLIS. Hahhahaa. Tergedik-gedik lah aku berjalan kaki ke Balai Polis Dang Wangi nak dapatkan surat pelepasan Polis untuk buat event. Pertama kali aku masuk balai polis. Perrggghhh!! Panik sekejap.
* Nova "datang" dalam event in less than a month. Nak lancarkan single "Kisah Kasih". Ini menambahkan ke excited an kami. Tapi dalam masa yang sama telah menambahkan tekanan. KERANA...... mereka nak bawa MEDIA CETAK dan MEDIA ELEKTRONIK . Tetiba terasa showcase yang kami rancang cam cincai boncai la plak. So, kami rombak banyak benda. Sampai rasa nak rabak kepala berfikir.
* Rehearsal pada 11 April memang kelam kabut. Sampai jam 11.30 malam pun masih banyak yang tak setel. Back line tak berbunyi, gitar tak kuat, reverb bunyi ke laut. Gambar kat monitor belakang kejap ada kejap tak der. Bila buat dry run, terus jadi banjir run. Kami balik ke rumah masing-masing pasrah je la apa nak jadi keesokan harinya.
Ini lagu seadanya aku kalau tak silap. Sebab background tu gambar paya berkabus dengan pokok  tinggal ranting yang sangat lonely..hihihi
* Microphone dan monitor panel kat pentas tu adalah yang terbaru sekali. Kami yang rasmikan. Lampu pun baru plot. Pendek kata semuanya serba baru. Dan bateri microphone itu saanngaatttt lah MAHAL!!!
* Kumpulan Conscience tukar lagu berkali-kali sebab tak ada minus one. Nasib baik masa event derang perform okay. Dah la dari berempat, jadi bertiga je sebab sorang ahli eksiden.
* Highlight of the show is the flute. Khayal sekejap dengan bunyi flute yang mendayu ditambah dengan video bunga yang memanjat-manjat kat monitor. Dari rehearsal lagi setiap kali Safuan habis tiup flute, kami semua tepuk tangan. Hahhaaa
* Kami tak expect Media akan seramai itu. Langsung tak expect. Memang sediakan goodie untuk Media. Ingatkan cukup sebab according dari allocation from Nova, kami dah terlebih sedia. Tapi lastnya ada yang balik tak dapat goodie bag. Maaf ya semua.
Kisah kasih. Single baru yang bakal keluar di radio bulan Mei ni.
* T-shirt crew baru pertama kali diperkenalkan. Baru siap dan baru dipakai fresh di hari event. Cantik tak? cantik tak?. hehehe
* Mereka-mereka termasuk media yang berada di dalam Mini Auditorium tu adalah first batch yang dengar lagu baru Nubhan "Kisah Kasih" secara LIVE. Crew member ( kecuali aku ngan harney) pun tak dengar lagi sebenarnya lagu tu sebab masa rehearsal lagu tu tak dinyanyikan. 
Korang nak tahu apa yang berlaku belakang pentas masa Showcase berlangsung?
* Nubhan dengan riang gumbiranya melompat-lompat terjah aku ngan Fit sebaik saja habis segmen akustik sambil hi five berkali-kali. Nak tahu kenapa? kan sebab masa rehearsal semua spoil. Tapi masa showcase semua mengalir dengan perfect. Caya tak? Kami pun terkejut kenapa jadi camtu. Hahhahahahaa..

* Rombakan aturcara dilakukan impromptu. Pengacara di brief sejam sebelum showcase bermula. Nova music minta Encik Rosmin untuk berucap sebelum perlancaran Kisah Kasih dan ini effect aturcara. Tapi semua dengan penuh suksesnya di atur. Thanks Deejay Suria FM yang sudi bekerjasama dengan kami. Walau macam mana rush pun, still boleh bergerak dengan smooth.

Gambar selepas showcase di Saloma Bistro. Kira-kira ni acara lepas siksa. Hahahha
Okay, tu je lah aku nak share ngan korang yang membaca post ni. 
Insya-Allah akan ada lagi event, tapi aku tak tahu bila sebab aku nak rehat dulu. Showcase ni banyak makan masa aku, tenaga dan certainly banyak men stress kan. So, buat masa ni, rehat dulu..Rehat sampai lebam. Nanti baru fikir lain.
Thanks everybody yang terlibat dalam showcase ni. Terima kasih kepada semua yang hadir. Thanks banyak-banyak.
Crew members. You guys are the best. Thanks banyak-banyak

Video Pertama Yang Mengangkat Nama <b>Mia Sara</b> |

Posted: 06 Mar 2014 11:59 PM PST

     

Siapa tidak kenal dengan si comel Mia Sara, pelakon cilik yang popular di Malaysia. Gambar di atas semasa dia masih lagi kecil dan ternyata memang comel sangat.

2

Memang terbukti budak cilik ini sangat berbakat dalam lakonannya. Memandangkan negara kita kekurangan pelakon cilik yang benar-benar berbakat jadi tidak hairanlah Mia Sara sentiasa tampil di kaca televisyen.

Jika anda tertanya-tanya dari mana datangnya pelakon cilik bernama Mia Sara ini, ianya bermula dari sebuah video yang dimuat-naik oleh bapanya ke internet.

Itulah yang dikatakan tuah, kecil-kecil dah dapat tawaran berlakon dan duit hasil bakat yang ditonjolkan.

Selamat maju jaya kami ucapkan buat adik Mia Sara yang kini semakin meningkat dewasa.

<b>Nur Fazura</b> Gaduh dengan Wartawan? | Oh! Media

Posted: 30 Apr 2014 02:21 AM PDT

ohartis.com-nurfazura

Sejak kebelangan ini, banyak isu yang kurang enak dikaitkan dengan aktres cantik Nur Fazura. Bermula daripada kontroversi yang kononnya dia telah kantoi bercium dengan kawan baik lelakinya di lapangan terbang, kini timbul pula isu Fazura gaduh dengan wartawan.

Tidak tahan dengan pelbagai isu, Fazura meluahkan isi hatinya melalui media bahawa dia bukan berniat untuk bermusuh dengan wartawan apatah lagi mencaru gaduh dengan sesiapa pun. Malah Fazura turut menyifatkan perkara yang terjadi kepadanya adalah bermotifkan dendam.

"Semuanya bermula kerana dendam. Sebelum ini saya pernah menegur seorang wartawan kerana tersilap ejaan nama bapa saya. Bagaimanapun, selepas itu perkara ini menjadi lebih besar. Bagi saya jika beliau mengambil teguran saya secara positif dan memohon maaf, tentu ramai pihak akan lebih menghormatinya.

"Tetapi, saya dapat tahu kejadian menegur kesalahan itu membuatkan segelintir wartawan tidak berpuas hati dengan saya dan merancang untuk mengenakan saya." jelas Fazura.

Takziah, Ibu Elly Mazlein Meninggal Dunia | Disaat anak-anak meraikan Hari Ibu yang jatuh pada 11 Mei, pelakon dan penyanyi Elly Mazlein mendapat perkhabaran buruk apabila ibu kesayangannya, Sabariah Ahmad, 56, meninggal dunia kira-kira pukul 2 pagi Ahad akibat sesak nafas.
Menurut info dari tunangnya, Azmi Hatta, Allahyarham meninggal dunia di kediamannya di Nusa Putra, Puchong Perdana.

"Allahyarham menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya dengan tenang di rumahnya awal pagi tadi dan jenazahnya telah selamat dikebumikan pada pukul 9 pagi tadi," katanya ringkas.

Ibu pelakon itu dilaporkan turut menghidapi penyakit kencing manis dan darah tinggi namun keadaannya tidak kronik.

Dalam pada itu, Elly atau nama sebenarnya Sharifah Aida Mazlina dilaporkan amat terkejut dengan berita kematian ibunya itu dan tidak sempat bersama arwah disaat-saat akhir hayatnya kerana sedang menjalani penggambaran sebuah drama.

Pihak media gagal mendapatkan kenyataan daripada Elly yang berada dalam keadaan terkejut dan sedih atas pemergian ibu kesayangannya itu.

Takziah diucapkan kepada Elly dan keluarga atas pemergian ibunda tercinta. Al Fatihah.

<b>Gambit Saifullah</b> Makin Di Benci Kerana Fear Factor Malaysia <b>...</b>

Posted: 24 Feb 2013 05:47 PM PST

Gambit Saifullah Makin Di Benci Kerana Fear Factor Malaysia – Kebiasaannya seseorang pelakon itu di benci kerana berjaya membawa watak jahat dalam drama ataupun filem lakonan mereka tetapi berlainan pula bagi pelakon Gambit Saifullah yang dibenci peminat gara-gara watak antagonis yang di bawanya dalam program realiti.

Gambit Saifullah Makin Di Benci Kerana Fear Factor Malaysia

Terbaru menurut laporan Kosmo!, dalam satu kaji selidik di sebuah laman internet mendapati 35 peratus daripada 587 pengundi mendakwa mereka benci menonton lakonan Gambit Saifullah. Semua rasa dan komen ini terhambat keluar selepas mereka menonton program realiti keluaran Astro, Fear Factor Selebriti Malaysia yang sedang rancak ke udara kini.

Gambit yang bergandingan dengan Alif Hadi menjadi pasukan yang paling mahu disingkirkan oleh pesaing yang masih tinggal. Bersikap kompetitif dan menjalankan strategi provokasi jelas membuatkan pasangan ini mendapat perhatian positif paling sikit daripada khalayak.

Lebih-lebih lagi Gambit yang dilihat sebagai antagonis dalam Fear Factor ini. Memburukkan keadaan apabila pergaduhan antara Gambit dan Farish turut membuah kebencian dalam hati penonton.

"Saya tertanya kenapa audiens tidak boleh faham dengan permainan program ini. Mereka terlalu sensitif dan tidak terbuka. Mereka perlu faham istilah game show," kesalnya yang merasakan bahawa penonton perlu memandang daripada sudut produksi dan permainan program.

Gambit akui walaupun dirinya nampak jahat di mata khalayak. Namun beliau mengakui bahawa tidak bermasalah dengan mana-mana peserta program tersebut malah persahabatan dengan Farish masih baik.

Pada awalnya, dia mengaku enggan terlibat dalam program realiti ini malah tidak terfikir untuk menjadi antagonis dalam permainan Fear Factor.

"Saya tidak terfikir untuk jadi jahat. Saya tahu permainan game show ini kerana saya juga merupakan seorang produser dan ada produksi sendiri. Sesebuah game show memang mempunyai elemen psikologi. Itu strategi dalam permainan," katanya yang mendapat banyak luahan tidak puas hati dan kebencian di laman sosial, Twitter.

Lirik Fobia Cinta – Nashrin 3.87/5 (77.33%) 15 votes

Pijakan kaki bagai tak terasa
Setiap kali lihat kau tersenyum mesra
Tapi hati masih tak berani lagi
Menghampiri

Denyutan jantung aku tergendala
Kerana hati aku berkata-kata
Jangan terkena untuk kali kedua
Kan sengsara

Chorus
Bukan aku tak sudi bersama
Cuma diri tak sanggup terluka
Dulu terlalu percaya
Tak sangka aku mangsa
Fobia cinta

Kini kau datang tawarkan segala
Bulan dan bintang seluruh angkasa
Namun aku masih ragu-ragu jua
Tak terima

Ulang Chorus

Entah bila
Akan dapat percaya semula
Oh manusia yang kata
Cintai mereka
Adakah aku fobia cinta

Ulang Chorus

Denyutan jantung aku tergendala

<b>Along Cham</b> Kelam Kabut, Zila (AF4) Mengidam Rojak buah 1 Pagi <b>...</b>

Posted: 29 Apr 2011 12:03 AM PDT

PETALING JAYA: Pelakon komedi Along Cham atau nama sebenarnya Muhammad Nizamudin Ahmad, 28, tidak dapat melupakan peristiwa pelik apabila isterinya, penyanyi Zila (AF4) yang mengandung dua bulan tiba-tiba mengidam rojak buah pada pukul 1 pagi.
Kata Along, permintaan Zila itu membuatkan dia menjadi kelam kabut demi menunaikan hasrat isterinya itu yang mengandung anak pertama hasil perkahwinan mereka.
"Sejak dua bulan hamil, saya tidak berdepan sebarang masalah besar dengan Zila. Cuma ada satu insiden yang saya tidak boleh lupa tentang permintaannya baru-baru ini.
"Ketika kami sedang berehat di rumah, secara tiba-tiba dia mengidam hendak makan rojak buah pada pukul 1 pagi.
"Apa lagi, kelam-kabut saya dibuatnya untuk mencari rojak di waktu itu. Saya terpaksa tanya pada kawan-kawan di merata tempat. Mujurlah, saya dapat juga rojak itu di kawasan Setapak, (Kuala Lumpur)" katanya.
Mengulas tentang keadaan isterinya sejak disahkan hamil, Along berkata: "Zila berada dalam keadaan yang baik. Cuma, apa yang saya nampak selera makannya bertambah. Saya cukup menitikberatkan aspek pemakanannya.
"Selain itu, dia juga semakin manja sejak mengandung. Apabila saya keluar bekerja, dia akan berhubung dengan saya sekerap mungkin, tapi saya senang dengan keadaan itu."
Along dan Zila Seeron pada hari perkahwinan mereka 23 Januari tahun lalu.
Sempat bercerita tentang perkembangan kerjayanya, Along mengakui rezekinya semakin murah selepas berkahwin.
Selain sibuk dengan penggambaran drama, filem dan program televisyen, hujung minggunya juga dipenuhi pelbagai pertunjukan pentas dan majlis makan malam.
"Sebelum ini, ada orang cakap, nama dan rezeki artis akan merudum selepas berkahwin tetapi lain pula ceritanya dengan kes saya.
"Alhamdulillah, rezeki saya semakin murah dan kerjaya kian berkembang sejak berumah tangga.
"Selain memenuhi persembahan pentas pada hujung minggu, saya juga sedang bersiap sedia untuk memulakan penggambaran filem Adnan Semp-it 2 pada awal Mei nanti," katanya.
Pasangan tersebut diijabkabulkan di Masjid Jamek Al-Amin, Felda Lui Selatan 1, Bandar Seri Jempol, Negeri Sembilan pada 23 Januari 2010.

Yuna - Google Blog Search

Yuna - Google Blog Search

An in-depth interview with <b>Yuna</b> published by Monthly Chosun

Posted: 16 May 2014 04:33 AM PDT

It was a tough interview. With someone who has been skating for 18 years, and just ended her amateur career, the interview was difficult even before it began. It wasn't just that the person interviewed was already so well known; It's also that reporter(interviewer) and Yuna are more than mere interviewer and interviewee.

Before working for <Chosun Monthly>, the interviewer worked as Yuna's manager from late 2008 to right after 2010 olympics. The job was mainly looking after Yuna in her training at Toronto. This interview offers glimpses of Yuna's own story, as well as one from her former manager's point of view.

Retired, but still training

Even before Sochi Olympics, the interviewer received many requests directly and indirectly to offer insight to Yuna's everyday life. She was looking to be the first from Korea and third in history to attain the "Back to Back Champion" title. In fear of affecting such endeavor, the reporter abstained from writing about Yuna till this day. It would be the first comprehensive interview she has given to the press.

We met Yuna at her office in Seoul, and even from the first glance she looked very thin. Leading up to Sochi, she continued to say that constant loss of weight has been a worry for her.

"At Vancouver, I had to plan my diet and such to control weight. But for Sochi, I just kept losing weight. I didn't even have too much appetite, so eating itself was really done mandatorily. I always thought "I have to eat this to train." Even one incomplete meal led straight to weight loss. Just to keep stamina up I had to eat out of duty, and it even became stressful once in a while."

-Now I can really feel that I'm not a "skater"(professional, or amateur really…) anymore.

"Because usually, at this time of the year, I am thinking "Yes! The season's over!" yet at the same time I am worrying about the following season. But now I don't have that and I fully realize that I am retired. When I was training for a competition, even if my first training session of the day goes well, I had pressure to do my second session well. But now that I'm out of the competition, I don't have such pressure any more."

Braced herself for a lower-than-expected score before Sochi

Even while she talked of her continuing training, she seemed very happy. It was as if she has begun to enjoy the life after retirement. Wouldn't she have any sentiments left for the Sochi games, would the result still be on her mind, and this was her answer.

"Just before Sochi, I performed many clean programs during practice. I was confident that if I don't choke, I would be able to pull of a clean program at the competition. All things aside, I skated clean thankfully as I thought, and the results are up to the judges.

I mean, I've been to so many competitions, and there have been quite some times when my score wasn't high as I had expected. Of course I shouldn't be the one to say that I had expected correctly though. I always enter a competition with the thought that there is always a possibility of a score that I can't quite understand or accept.

It was the same for the Winter Games this year. So I did a lot of imagining of an unexpected score coming out. So it wasn't even shocking. I already knew before my turn in free skate that other skaters had received high scores, so I guess that's why I didn't look so surprised at the Kiss&Cry.

It's not as if such reaction was planned. It's just that up to the Olympics, I wasn't thinking "I have to win." I was thinking more along the lines of ending things well, and I just thought that I would feel so free after this competition."

-You were spotted crying in the mix zone after Kiss&Cry.

"Tears just came out after the first interview in the mix zone. I was about to answer and they just came streaming down. They weren't tears of anger or resentment; I was about to say that I was happy that things came to a close. All this time, it was so hard with lack of motivation and stuff.

To be truthful, the two seasons leading to the Olympics were the toughest time as a skater. I felt each moment how hard it is to be without a goal. After the conference about coming back to competition, and getting back to training, I just couldn't get myself motivated. It was demanding both physically and mentally.

-How did you overcome such times?

"Well, it wasn't a matter of overcoming really. I don't really think you can. I think you can only rely on time to solve it. It was so tough but it was a fact that I couldn't quit… I just thought accepting the situation as it is and getting myself together was what I could do. I already said I'd go to Sochi, and you can't nullify your previous statement just due to lack of motivation. When I really didn't feel like training, I rested. I know now that training on such days isn't any better than not. And while resting I could get my thoughts together too. I got myself together by accepting the fact that I'm going through tough time when I was. And all the while I always thought to myself: that I was a person who takes responsibility for the work that I'd been given."

After the Olympics, there have been statements that Yuna may have won with one more triple jump. It was saying that Yuna's technical score was lower than Sotnikova's due to lack of a jump. I asked Yuna what she thought of such speculation. Her answer was very definite.

"The results came out and also did many opinions and analysis. But it's not as if I can go back and do another triple. It's all done and past. There is nothing I can do. I don't worry about it any more."

"one in a hundred years" (phrase like one in a million)

 

Working as her manager, the reporter had met many sports marketing experts. They all observed that Yuna was someone that may come once every hundred years in Korean sports history. An athlete with top notch caliber with star quality that doesn't come second to teenage idol stars; such sentiments were shared by foreign marketers as well.

Because of this, many people around Yuna experienced many "firsts." The marketing scene had to learn how to utilize an active athlete who receives such spotlight in marketing. They all silently agreed that such marketing would have to be done on a level that wouldn't jeopardize her performance.

Before Vancouver Olympics, the entire commercial crew had to fly all the way over to Toronto for shooting. 
It was the same for the press. The Korean press was lost in front of a person who was racking up so much interest from the public, yet had so little time for interviews. As Vancouver Olympics approached, even foreign press had to express their hurry.

Because she had so many interview requests, "Media Week" was held in Toronto. NBC, NYT, NHK, CBC, along with countless Korean media went over to Toronto during the week.

People who made YUNA

How could Yuna become "one in a hundred years" athlete? With the innate talent and perfect body for figure skating set aside, we could think of the environment that was provided to her to focus solely on skating.

As is well known already, her mother Mee Hee Park has had a great part in such environment. Yuna spoke of her mother as such:

"On some occasions I have said that it was tough because of her and such, but now I can understand her. So when I see young skaters arguing with their mothers, I can sort of understand both sides, not just the skaters'.

Mrs. Park's efforts were greater than is publicized. She was famous even in Toronto for her efforts. The best seat that overlooks the rink was always hers, and the local skaters' parents even called the seat "Yuna's camp."

Coaches can never be overlooked either. Yuna says that she "was able to meet the right coaches at the right time."

"I have had 8 coaches thus far including Mr. Ryu who suggested competing. After Mr.Ryu, I learned all the triple jumps from Mrs. Shin. Now I ended my career with the two of them by my side. Maybe it was because they had seen me since I was really little, but the whole training process was very comfortable. Peace of mind should I say?

Even if a skater has abundance of talent, without a supervisor it's hard for her to grow. Because Mr.Ryu and Mrs. Shin could point out my errors, I could rely on them on my way to Sochi. Some people wonder whether I need a coach when I had already won gold at Vancouver, but skating changes everyday with you daily condition, so you need someone to look after you technically and mentally. Now that I ended my career with those coaches from childhood, it really does make me sentimental a bit."

With a bit of exaggeration, the troubles that arose in Yuna's career and Yuna's efforts to overcome them could be compared to "optimistic asphalt covering all the breaks and fissures on the road." Yuna has said that "Secret" was one of the memorable books that she had read and the book pretty much conveys the same message.

Though many call Yuna "Daeinbae"[Dane-Bæ], there are also anecdotes where people say "I saw Yuna at an autographing event, but she looked disinterested" or "she refused to sign an autograph for me." The question that the reporter received most frequently was also "How's Yuna's character?" I asked her how she felt about such questions and thoughts.

"When I don't have a certain facial expression, I guess I look sort of disinterested or angry even… Maybe it's because I don't have double eyelids, I don't know. When I don't really have any expression, I get asked if I'm angry or sullen. But I'm really not….

Yeah I mean I heard so many gossip rumors. Once I heard that a flight attendant saw me fighting and cussing with my mom. It was ridiculous; once I'm on a plane I don't even talk that much. I just think there are people who do such things on purpose."

The reporter experienced first handed such rumors going around as if they were true. When Yuna was training in Toronto, rumor spread that she was dating Jang Geun Suk (Korean actor). It simply wasn't true.

"Lee Sang Hwa (Korean speed skater, whose boyfriend is also a hockey player) didn't introduce me to my boyfriend"

-There are also some negative comments regarding commercial appearances.
"Yeah I know, but I don't read them these days. It doesn't do you any good you know… I don't really know my net income. I don't even get allowances. I think I'll take some more interest from now on. (laugh)"

-It was recently revealed that you were dating, and people wonder what a person like you look for in a man?

"You have to look at everything. As for rumors going around about my boyfriend, though they're very far from the truth, you just have to accept it. But as for the rumor that Lee Sang Hwa introduced us to each other is false. Marriage? I don't know, I never thought about whether I want to marry early or not."

18 years as a skater and now Yuna is 25 (Korean age). Does she have any regrets? No was her immediate and definite answer.

"I mean I experienced everything I could. Results and everything. I sort of got to the bottom of it all to have any regrets. 2 olympics, regrets, sentiments yet unsolved, I don't have any of that. Ice rink was school for me, and I had good result there. I haven't lived too long, but it was satisfactory."

-Many people are interested in your future plans.

"I've been thinking, but it's been hard to decide. What to do, where to work, I just don't know. It hasn't been too long since the Olympics ended, and I've just been running headlong for 18 years.

I know I'm in the spotlight right now, and the decision is that much harder because of that. I just feel my choices are limited."

As of right now, I want to help upcoming skaters. Now that they are getting some good results, I want to help them reap better ones. Figure skating is what I like the most and it's also what I'm best at. It just doesn't feel right to lay it all aside; I want to help young skaters. Even before this Olympics, I had so much I wanted to tell them. But since I'm not a coach, I just told them don't be nervous and such as is usual for a senior athlete."

At Sochi, Park So Youn, Kim Hae Jin, Kim Jin Seo competed alongside Yuna. They are all expected to be the face of Korean figure skating at Pyeonchang games in 2018. Park So Youn finished 9th in the world championship right after Sochi.

-There have been speculations of running for IOC athlete commissioner

After successful bidding for 2018 Olympics, there have been talks about future involvement with Sports diplomacy. But I think I was too young then to think about such things. Now I have all the prerequisites for running, but I don't know yet. It's not as if you automatically get the job just because you want it, and because the next Olympic games is summer Olympics, it may be more advantageous for a summer Olympian.

-Looking back who are you grateful to?

All the coaches and so many people who have helped. And also all the fans who cheered me on. There were many fans who would buy tickets to competitions abroad, and that's really not an easy thing to do. I am most thankful for those fans who were always close by, but always cheering me on from a step away. Many things have happened throughout my career, and I really want to thank those fans who always believed in me and loved me for what I am."

Yuna Kim truly looked free during the interview. It was an attitude without a single trace of regret, one that can only be taken on by a person who has tried her best through and through.

I sat down in front of her with the title "comprehensive interview" on my hands. But there are many questions I couldn't quite ask and stories that she could not quite answer.

Though a public figure, there are much personal life and thoughts within Yuna. I couldn't ask her to recall every single moment of the 18 years of her career and interpret them. She has shown her everything to make the public cry and smile. At 25 years old, we cannot ask her to reveal what would give her the motivation to live the rest of her life.

KRU & TGV Jalinkan Kerjasama Angkat Filem Boxoffice

kru 1

PETALING JAYA: Kumpulan Syarikat KRU dan TGV Cinemas mengumumkan kerjasama strategik dengan perjanjian pengedaran filem bagi tempoh setahun di mana TGV pictures dipertanggungjawabkan untuk memasar dan mengedarkan filem yang dilesenkan dibawah syarikat penerbitan tersebut di seluruh pawagam tanah air.

Presiden Eksekutif, Kumpulan Syarikat KRU, Norman Abdul Halim berkata, usahasama itu adalah bertujuan mengkaji kencenderungan dan trend penonton terhadap filem-filem terkini pada peringkat akar umbi.

"Kutipan boxoffice bagi filem-filem tempatan secara keseluruhannya semakin merosot sejak 2012 dan berada pada tahap membimbangkan.

"Pihak kami percaya kerjasama dengan TGV Pictures dapat membantu memberi maklumat sebenar pada peringkat akar umbi," katanya dalam satu sidang media berhubung perkara itu, di sini, Khamis.

Jelas Norman, kerjasama strategik itu dilihat dapat menyumbang ke arah peningkatan prestasi kutipan boxoffice sesebuah filem.

Tambahnya, kelembapan industri filem menjadi lebih buru jika semua pihak tidak mengenal pasti punca sebenar penonton enggan menyokong filem tempatan.

"Sebelum ini kita ada membuat beberapa kajian awal, namu masih tidak mencukupi untuk mengatasi masalah itu.

"Apa yang kita dapati penonton mahukan filem yang segar dan lain daripada lambakan yang ada. Selain itu masa filem dikeluarkan mengikut jadual juga mampu membantu kepada  tahap Boxoffice contohnya filemThe Journey.

"Pemerhatian saya, filem itu keluar tepat pada masa kerana tiada saingan daripada filem-filem hebat dari Hollywood," katanya.

Sementara itu, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif TGV Picture, Garald V. Dibbayawan berkata kerjasama ini merupakan peluang pemamer menunjukkan tanda sokongan dan menggalakan perkembangan filem tempatan.

Kerjasama berkenaan merupakan satu perkembangan yang baik dan selaras dengan matlamat TGV Pictures dalam mempelbagaikan kandungan serta mempertingkatkan pembangunan pasaran pemamer di Malaysia," katanya.

Antara filem yang bakal dikeluarkan di bawah kerjasama ini adalah Dendam Orang Mati, Mat Tudung, Rabbit, Puaka Balai Gombak, Stranded dan Cicakman 3.

Turut hadir pada majlis tersebut Yusry Abdul Halim, Edry Abdul Halim, Lisa Surihani dan Jason Chong.
