Dreams Dilemma
Since I was school I love singing, so it started everything since that, mostly in art and creative interest. I developed so many of my interest and change it to become a dream and hope sooner it really work out. Hopefully. Some of it maybe had reached the goal. Singing was my truly enthusiasm and passionately do everything to achieve it. Singing career was started when I was 10 years old which I was in a choir group at school. Madam Razana Zhuhairah was the person who brings me to the group. Impressively, that time my school was a champion for 2 years in a row during my involvement. It was a great experience of all time and I still remembered until now.
At high school, I had developed my inner potential to the limit. Not so high actually just wanted to make people see what I am capable of. I am just ordinary student nothing special about me anyway. That’s why I am so prolific, maybe? I love doing what I love to do to challenge myself but the singing career was ended up at high school. No-lah, I am still singing but only at my resident area, look up for opportunity and gain some singing experience as much as will help to improve my voice vocally. Nevertheless, I had found other inner talent such as acting and poetry but I wasn’t a shining star at school because sometimes I wasn’t so competitive compare to other student.
When I was 16, I know I love to design and very much to love interior design. I also found out that I love advertising because had seen so much Yasmin Ahmad’s TV commercial. Mostly for Petronas portfolio which is that fulls of awareness and touched most of the Malaysians heart instead the storytelling so melodramatic and inspiring. So I set up my goal, I wanted to be in an advertising career. So I did apply at UiTM. Faculty of Communication and Media Studies was my first choice and Faculty of Architecture was my second choice.
By mid 2003, I got an interview calling for Diploma in Interior Design. Too bad my mum wasn’t give me full support for furthered my study so I decided to entered Form 6 which become so famous that time. Everybody was like wanted to get in. During my Lower 6 and Upper 6 I was active in singing. So singing career right back on track and new interest just came around which is in traditional dancing. Not so good in dancing so I had hired as a Manager for the group and so much achievement had we gain during the good old days. However I still gain some traditional dance skills.
After all, I had decided that enough study, its working time! So it took a year I worked as a Front Office Assistant at one of the resort in PD formerly known as Ancasa Resort Allsuites and now known as Ancasa Spa and Resort. It was such a great experience and full of fun and enjoyment worked there. I had learned how to deal and communicate with various types of people with million of behaviours. Furthermore, I had learned PR skills and that make me wanted to further study because I thought I was still at young age and have desired to grab oppurtunity for my future career.
I had applied back to entered UiTM, this time Faculty Communication and Media Studies wasn’t the first choice but was in third. I got the interview calling. So I went to UiTM Lendu, Malacca for an interview and I was like so nerdy. During the interview, I told the interviewer that I love art and creative because they did asked me about my curriculum activity. They told me that I took wrong choice of course to pursue study and afraid if I didn’t get through, so they did give me the dean of Faculty of Artistic and Creative Art’s office number, Associate Professor Dr Hatta Azad Khan and ask him for help. I did call him the same day and his willing to help me.
By end of the year 2005, I got it through. I was so happy. This is the chance for me to prove to myself. Nevertheless, it wasn’t an offered for Faculty of Artistic and Creative Art but it was an offered for Faculty of Communication and Media Studies. Anyway, I’m grateful. There started my campus life at UiTM which I was dreamed to be in. I had placed at Puncak Perdana Campus in Puncak Alam. Three years was a wondrous and memorable moment I had in Shah Alam and next 6 months in Lendu, where I had finished my part 7 because in part 6, I had applied for study leave. Now I had finished my diploma just wait up for graduation day.
At UiTM, I developed that I was good in designing, filmmaking and photographing. At UiTM I did entered traditional dance group, PESKA and gratefully with dancing I had been in Thailand and also not forget singing career still on the list. So, singing, dancing, acting, designing, writing, photographing and filmmaking are my interests that I am dying to do so and loving it so much instead the art and creative interests would be the side income for me. It is all about business now.
I have been dreamed to pursue every level of qualification started from SPM (which is compulsory), STPM and Diploma which I had reached it so far. In coming are bachelor degree, master and PhD. Insya Allah, if wanted by Him. But at this moment what I do is, I had joined a programme which is Tunas Mekar under UiTM – ICU which under Jabatan Perdana Menteri. It is a 1-year entrepreneurship programme for those who wanted to set up a business after graduated from any education institutional.
I had selected and now I have been working in one of the SME business in PD that specialty in wellness product and consultancy. Before I entered Tunas Mekar I am interested so much in Event Management business. The company hired me because they wanted to do event management. However because of some issues, I got problem with the company and don’t know my position at this time.
Anyway, I didn’t find the happiness and enjoyment in what I have been doing right now. I am planning to continue Tunas Mekar and change the company for the programme and really wanted to build up my own businesses but also wanted to pursue my bachelor degree in PR and last night I was realized that I wanted to quit from Tunas Mekar and working at the place that I am dying to be, Leo Burnet Kuala Lumpur. I know it is impossible but it still got chance if I try it out. We don’t know, right?
I am in a dreams dilemma right now. Either keep doing Tunas Mekar, building up my own businesses that start with JemputJemput Restaurant, pursuing part time bachelor degree in PR by end of this year and also continuing do my interest which is art and creative. Or quit from Tunas Mekar and working at Leo Burnett Kuala Lumpur (if got-lah), if not I will working at school as a teacher, still try building up my own businesses, pursuing my bachelor degree
and also continuing do my interest which is art and creative. Or leave everything behind and pursuing bachelor degree in Advertising or PR and never look back.
10 Key Principles to beating busyness
1. Do what matters most to you (the most common casualty of an excessively busy life):
Don’t spread yourself to thin. You must choose and you must prioritise. “In order to do both well and to be happy, you must say, ‘No, Thank you,’ to many projects, people and ideas,” says Dr Hallowell.
2. Create a positive emotional environment wherever you are:
“When you feel safe and secure, you feel welcomed and appreciated, you think better, behave better, and are better able to help others,” says Dr Hallowell.
3. Find your rhythm:
Get in the “zone”; follow your “flow”. Research has proven that this state of mind elevates all that you do to its highest level.”When you find rhythm, you allow your day to be taken care of by the automatic pilot in your brain, so the creative, thinking part can attend to what it is uniquely qualified to attend to,” says Dr Hallowell.
4. Invest your time wisely so as to get maximum return:
Try not to let time be stolen from you or let yourself fritter it away. Assess your time wisely to guide you in what to add, preserve, cut back on and eliminate altogether.
5. Don’t waste time screensucking (a modern addiction – the withdrawal of looking at a computer/BlackBerry/etc. screen):
Break the habit of having to be near your computer all times by changing your environment or structure. “Move your screen to a different room, schedule an amount of time you allowed to be on the computer and plan mandatory breaks,” suggests Dr Hallowell.
6. Identify and control the sources of gemmelsmerch in your environment:
Gemmelsmerch is the force that distracts a person from what he or she wants to or ought to be doing. It is as persuasive and powerful as gravity. For example; the little customisation bells and whistles on a treadmill often delay you from starting your workout. Ignore these kinds of distractions once and for all.
7. Delegate:
Delegate what you don’t like to do or are not good at if you possibly can. “Your goal should be not to be independent, but rather effectively interdependent,” explains Dr Hallowell. “You do for me and I do for you – this is what makes life possible.”
8. Slow Down:
Why wake up, already impatient and rush around and try to squeeze in more things than you should, thereby leading you to do all of it less well? “Your hurry is your enemy,” warns Dr Hallowell.
9. Don’t multitask ineffectively ( avoid frazzing):
Give one task your full attention. You will do it better. You may eventually get so good at it that your conscious mind can attend to other aspects of the task other than menial ones. This is the only way a human can multitask effectively.
10. Play:
Imaginatively engage with what you are doing. This will bring out the best part of your mind, focus you on your task, and make you more effective and efficient.

Kalam Kenangan Sang Pujangga

Sebelum mengenal filem-filem arahan Yasmin Ahmad, mungkin hati sebahagian daripada kita terlebih dahulu 'disentuh' dengan karya-karya iklan nukilannya. Sering meletakkan dirinya sebagai storyteller (penglipurlara), sutradara kreatif ini bijak mencanai kreativiti dalam menyampaikan mesej kepada khalayak.
Siapa yang tidak ingat dengan karya-karya iklan komersial Petronasnya yang mencuit hati dan meruntun perasaan?
Bahkan, ramai dalam kalangan kita yang ternanti-nanti iklan Petronas setiap kali musim perayaan kerana ingin melihat buah tangan Yasmin. Kita mahu ikut menangis bersama naratif karyanya dan kita suka 'dijentik' dengan karyanya yang menyindir diri kita sendiri!
Karya-karya itu menggambarkan pengarah kreatif eksekutif di agensi pengiklanan, Leo Burnett Malaysia itu punya magis dalam sentuhan karyanya. Elemen kasih sayang, cinta, kekeluargaan dan jenaka yang sering digarap dalam iklan sering mengesankan khalayak.
Yasmin pernah dinobatkan sebagai pengarah terbaik Malaysia Video Award 1999 untuk sebuah iklan Petronas arahannya.
Daripada seorang pengarah iklan, Allahyarham memasuki dunia perfileman pada tahun 2002 apabila tampil dengan filem sulungnya, Rabun.
Yasmin boleh disifatkan sebagai pengarah filem yang lain daripada yang lain. Hadirnya dalam bidang perfileman bagai memberi warna dan variasi kepada wajah filem Malaysia.
Antara kelainan paling ketara adalah penerapan nilai masyarakat majmuk atau kemalaysiaan dalam karyanya. Ini boleh dilihat dengan jelas pada deretan karyanya iaitu Sepet (2004), Gubra (2006), Mukhsin (2006), Muallaf (2008) dan Talentime (2009). Sepet misalnya berkisar tentang percintaan antara seorang gadis Melayu, Orked dan seorang lelaki Cina, Lee Seow Loong.
Biarpun karya-karya iklannya bagai disambut dengan hamparan permaidani merah, namun filem-filemnya melalui laluan yang berliku. Keterbukaannya dalam berkarya dan keberaniannya mengupas isu kemasyarakatan membuatkan dirinya seringkali menjadi mangsa kritikan dan dihimpit kontroversi.
Filem Sepet, misalnya, dipotong lapan adegan oleh Lembaga Penapisan Filem Malaysia (LPFM). Filem Muallaf pula sehingga kini belum ditayangkan di negara ini walaupun sudah ditayangkan di Singapura.
"Saya sudah penat dengan pelbagai kerenah birokrasi dan prejudis sesetengah pihak. Saya buat filem untuk orang Malaysia dan mahu mereka menonton," katanya dalam satu temu bual pada tahun 2004.
Kontroversi turut terpalit apabila Yasmin mendakwa penerbit filem, David Teo meniru karyanya tahun lalu.
Bagaimanapun, di sebalik tusukan kritikan, masih ada yang menilai filem-filem Yasmin dari sisi berbeza. Sepet dan Gubra masing-masing menerima Anugerah Filem Terbaik di Festival Filem Malaysia 2005 dan 2006.
Lebih membanggakan, Yasmin juga menjadi jagoan di pentas antarabangsa apabila filem-filemnya meraih kejayaan membanggakan di luar negara.
Filem Sepet memenangi anugerah di peringkat antarabangsa iaitu Anugerah Filem Asia di Pesta Filem Antarabangsa Tokyo pada 2005 dan meraih Anugerah Grand Prix di Pesta Filem Wanita Antarabangsa Creteil pada 2005.
Filem Mukhsin mencatat kejayaan dengan meraih Filem Cereka Terbaik dan Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk Grand Prix di Pesta Filem Antarabangsa Berlin selain diangkat sebagai Filem Asean Terbaik di Pesta Filem Antarabangsa Cinemanila 2007.
Filem Muallaf pula memenangi Anugerah Filem Asia - Sebutan Khas di Pesta Filem Antarabangsa Tokyo 2008.
Filem-filem Yasmin juga mendapat pengiktirafan dari negara luar apabila ditayangkan di Berlin, San Francisco, Singapura dan di festival filem ulung dunia, Festival Filem Cannes.
Apapun, Yasmin pernah memberitahu dia menghasilkan filem kerana unsur kemanusiaan.
"Sejak kecil lagi, saya selalu mengambil berat tentang unsur kemanusiaan. Saya mendapati, dalam kita mengejar kejayaan, kadang-kadang kita terlupa tentang asas-asas kemanusiaan seperti baik hati dan kasih sayang. Saya sentiasa mencuba untuk memasukkan perasaan ini dalam kesemua filem yang saya hasilkan, baik filem iklan atau filem di layar perak. Bagi saya, filem adalah peluang untuk mengingatkan manusia agar menjadi manusia semula," ujarnya dalam satu temu ramah dengan seorang wartawan Berlin, Jerman, Tilman Baumgartel tahun lalu.
Dalam legasi seninya, Allahyarham Yasmin yang lahir pada 1 Julai 1958 dan meninggal dunia pada usia 51 tahun sentiasa mengotakan pendiriannya itu.
