Inspiring me.. I have to share it!

Tonight, curi-curi masa sikit untuk tulis blog about this inspiring video... 

Siti Nurhaliza Biography-On History Channel FULL version

As we all know, Siti Nurhaliza is the most popular singer yang mengingatkan pada zaman-zaman Y2K... Millenium. Everyone nak jadi macam Siti Nurhaliza. Populer, kaya, berbakat... But do you know or ever think about her journey until where she is standing at this moment?

To success is not an easy thing to achieve. Ia memerlukan usaha, pengorbanan yang berterusan. People... outsiders... well not all but some of them will hate you. No matter you are good or bad, they will still keep talking bad thing about you. Now it is up to you... macam mana nak terima. No need to be a public figure to experience this. Just live among your community. Mesti you will experience it lah.

How hard working is the hard working?

Everyone will experience either white or black color in life. Dugaan akan datang tanpa henti. For example di awal video ni, Siti bercerita mengenai permulaan beliau sebelum menjadi artis. Susah payah kehidupan keluarga Sarjan Polis yang ada anak ramai sehinggakan dia terpaksa membantu mak dia jual kuih. Then perform kat majlis org2 kawen. Pernah joined Asia Bagus tapi tak menang. Determination untuk kurus untuk join competition Bintang RTM. Bila dah kurus... terlambat pulak sampai audition di RTM. Then compete... menang.  Bila dah menang, life tak semudah yang disangka. She has to travel from Kuala Lipis to Kuala Lumpur (Eh... KL to KL lah) to buat recording and etc. bertemankan mak/ayah dengan naik bas (she was under age). She used to naik bas lompat-lompat... just for the sake untuk try her best to success... with all of the effort that she n family have. The 1st 6 months was hard (she mentioned in the video). And of coz her life becomes better sooner and after. She was new... and berbakat. While I still remember masa tu semua zaman-zaman kalau posing kat satu majalah 'buah-buahan' tu, mesti ada posing tepi swimming pool sambil berbikini and pario. Cover page pulak sexy2... baju dedah belakang, stokin legging hitam n etc. But Siti was 'controlled' by her family - well family members akan sentiasa menjaga maruah ahli keluarga mereka.. with the prinsip baju tak boleh ketat-ketat, pendek-pendek, terdedah. It does sounds annoying and why nak control-controlkan. But do you ever realize... this is one of the reasons Siti Nurhaliza diterima masyarakat and jadi populer and ada huge fan termasuk Indonesia and Singapore compared to others yang sexay. A few artis yang populer tenggelam dalam popularity Siti. Kalau orang utara ckp... Pukoi habih! Then muncullah suara-suara tak puas hati... pakaian kampung lah, fesyen out lah, kalau nak sopan-sopan p balik kampung jadi ustazah lah. OMG... aku yang dengar pon dah terguris hati. Ini kan Siti pada masa tu. But I think she is strong sebab keluarga ada dengan dia... she's got her mum n dad, brother, and sister-in-law (Rozie) sebagai tulang belakang kukuh dalam kerjaya sebagai anak seni. Dalam video tu, Rozie did mentioned if a month ada 30 hari, 29 days will be spent on working. Owh man... 

Dari segi transformation, (from my perception la kan) I saw Nurul Shukor (make-up artist) has groomed her very well. I am so in love with your touch pada Siti since Pancawarna album. Sangat fresh dengan lipstick pink nude n silver eyeshadow - masa tu Siti jadi duta Maybelline. Pakaian, Michael Ong did a great job. Pakaian sangat sopan, longgar dan cantik - macam ada trademark Siti pada rekaan beliau.. I think Siti patut teruskan deal dengan Michael Ong la.

Personal Life

Dari segi perkahwinan... dengarlah lagu Biarlah Rahsia... biarlah Siti dengan her personal life. Family dia ada to take care of her. I believe her family dah strict enuf untuk membataskan apa yang perlu dan apa yang tak. So biarlah dengan her fan/public, dia rasa comfortable and relax - don't put so much pressure on her.. dia pun manusia biasa.

3ters, I hope you all dapat point yang I'm trying to highlight here:

1. Nak berjaya memerlukan usaha yang keras, pengorbanan
2. Cabaran dan dugaan dan kesusahan adalah termasuk dalam pakej untuk berjaya
3. Hormati parents dan keluarga
4. Berpegang pada prinsip. Mungkin ada masa akan terhanyut tapi harap2 keluarga ada sebagai pengawal untuk tarik semula ke jalan yang benar
5. Cuba dan cuba. Walaupun mungkin nampak tak cantik pada awalnya, tapi ingat pepatah Inggeris, Practice makes perfect
6. Masing-masing ada kelebihan masing-masing

I hope by watching this video and read this post, it will inspire some of the viewers.
