00:00It's sad. It's sad because if we look at the comparisons that have been made around this time,
00:09all of them are against women.
00:11And that is the saddest thing.
00:12We don't see men being, you know, compared to women.
00:17We've never heard a male singer being compared to a female singer.
00:22We don't hear that.
00:24This singer is my friend, but I don't feel awkward.
00:28But because of what people say, that's what makes it awkward.
00:32Even if we want to break through, we have our own challenges, you know.
00:38True.
00:38You know, we did our best, and then they didn't get our intuition properly.
00:45Then they pick us apart, you know, like, pick us apart.
00:49So, I feel like it's not healthy, and I really, really hate that.
00:58Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
01:03You're back with me, Sudirman Mattair, in the show podcast,
01:06Konfession Bilik Gelap.
01:08And especially for this episode, we have her once again.
01:11Last year, she was with us.
01:13And this time too, we have a singer who is not a stranger anymore.
01:18Her voice has been praised by most of our singers.
01:22Here she is, Aina Abdul.
01:25Assalamu'alaikum, Abang.
01:26How are you, Aina?
01:27I'm good, Alhamdulillah.
01:28Thank you, Sudir, once again for being with us in the show podcast,
01:32Konfession Bilik Gelap.
01:33And we want to share with Aina,
01:36that last year, Aina was nominated for the category of
01:40Digital Programme Gempak for Anugerah Gempak Most Wanted.
01:45It will be broadcasted on February 23rd.
01:49Thank you, Aina, for being with us at that time.
01:53And the fact is, at that time,
01:57before we recorded it, before Anugerah Juara Lagu.
02:01Correct.
02:02And for today too,
02:04this recording took place a few days before Anugerah Juara Lagu, right, Aina?
02:08Yes, that's right.
02:09And if we want to say 2024,
02:12a lot of achievements have been achieved by Aina Abdul.
02:15Anugerah Juara Lagu,
02:17then the most popular star,
02:20at the Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian,
02:23and the singles are the same.
02:26Then there's a song from Indonesia, right?
02:30And let's talk a little bit about 2024, Aina, that journey.
02:35The happiness, the achievements that have been achieved.
02:38Alhamdulillah, 2024 is a year that I think,
02:44besides the achievements, there are also a lot of things that I have learned.
02:48I think every year is indeed a year that
02:52every project that I do, all the projects that
02:55will give me a lot of sweetness and also a lot of its lack of sweetness, right?
03:02But I am grateful because in 2024,
03:05my work is still accepted
03:07and my fans are getting more and more supportive,
03:12who always support my work,
03:17whether it's my writing or my singing, but not my writing.
03:22So, I think they are the biggest backbone
03:28in the career of Aina Abdul.
03:31So, I am grateful.
03:33I hope this year will be a sweet year for me
03:38and the years to come.
03:40I hope I will be stronger
03:43to face the challenges in this industry.
03:47I think it's not easy to be an artist,
03:52but thanks to the support of the fans,
03:56and I believe their prayers also make me
04:00able to stay in this industry.
04:03So, I pray for the best.
04:04That's right.
04:05And interestingly, last year, Aina
04:10successfully held an IMAGI album tour
04:15in three locations, right?
04:18That's right.
04:18And at that time,
04:21Aina also announced that she was taking a break from doing concerts.
04:27Yes.
04:27After 2024, there was a big concert
04:31that was held by Aina.
04:33There was this incident, right?
04:35Her stories.
04:36And when Aina announced that she wanted to take a break from doing concerts,
04:40among the fans,
04:43maybe they felt sad, right?
04:48And yes, we know when Aina was in Pentas,
04:51we saw how we listened to the songs,
04:54it was very, very great to be performed by Aina.
04:58So, that decision was heavy for Aina Abdul.
05:02Very heavy.
05:05Because I think my team that knows me,
05:09they know that I'm actually a performer.
05:13I was born to sing on stage.
05:16And as a performer, I really want to perform in my own concert or showcase.
05:25My main passion aside from songwriting,
05:31I like to do my own concerts.
05:34I like to organize my own concerts.
05:37So, it's actually a big step and a big decision from me and my team
05:41to say no to any solo concert for this year.
05:47And probably next year also.
05:48Because after we did our own concert,
05:55we did our own show from Aina Abdul A Night with Aina Abdul 1.0
06:01to A Night with Aina Abdul 3.0,
06:03and then Aina Abdul's Lounge,
06:05and then Imaji Aina Abdul.
06:08So, we've learned a lot from Aina's journey in organizing her own concert.
06:16So, her difficulties are different from writing an album or producing a song.
06:23Her difficulties are different because I have to think as a businesswoman.
06:28Before this, I only thought from the point of view of a songwriter, composer, singer.
06:34But now she has another category, which is I am a businesswoman.
06:38So, my concerts are my product, my business.
06:43So, I have to take a break for a while
06:46because I think for the time being, this is not the right time for me to hold a concert.
06:54Because the competition in the industry is quite fierce
07:00and there are also a lot of artists from the West, from abroad, who will come to Malaysia too.
07:07So, I look at it from the point of view, I have to be rational.
07:12I have to be wise in the real world.
07:16You know, it's difficult to sell a ticket now.
07:20So, this year I also took a step for I want to travel to work together.
07:28After that, I will go to Indonesia again to work together.
07:31And maybe I will work together with Fabio again.
07:34And I took the opportunity with the blessings from Cinta Tak Pernah Terpauk Waktu
07:41for me to spread the wings, for me to get to know more friends in Indonesia,
07:48with the writers there.
07:50So, if I want to spread or have so-called writing partners,
08:00I have to make time.
08:02I can't be idle, I can't, I want to release a song too, I want to hold a concert too.
08:07Because I know his difficulties are double, triple.
08:10And my team only has two people in my team, including me, three people.
08:16So, these three people want to think.
08:20So, I think it's not fair for my team, for my manager and also my PA to organize a big concert.
08:30I'm the kind of person who wants to do it, I want to do it all out.
08:34That's right, you can't get used to it.
08:36Yes, I don't want to get used to it.
08:37So, I need to take time for me to be really mature and have a bigger team.
08:46I hope the fans who miss me will continue to miss me.
08:55Because that's also a factor why I want to take a break from solo concerts.
09:00I want them to miss me.
09:02So, when they miss me, they will come to my concert, the next concert.
09:07It means giving a break for one part, but spreading the wings for another opportunity, right Aina?
09:16Which is one of the plans that Aina has arranged for 2025, right?
09:22And actually, when people say, Aina said, taking a break from hosting a concert.
09:31Let's say, there's someone else, another host, but the one who sings.
09:38Inviting Aina, right?
09:41I have talked to my team.
09:45And my team is actually the one who supports this decision.
09:49Because they see my work quality and also where sometimes,
09:58not just the quality of work, but they see my mother's health, my heart's health, right?
10:07So, they also have a heart's health, right?
10:12So, my decision is quite strong.
10:16So, I was asked about this question also.
10:19If there is an organizer who invites me, I told my manager,
10:25I will only agree when there are a lot of artists at the concert.
10:30I will not be alone.
10:33So, I have to be firm with my decision.
10:38Let's say, there is an organizer who invites me, I consider it as a blessing too.
10:43I will not refuse.
10:44But if I'm alone, I will refuse.
10:47What about a duo?
10:48I don't want either.
10:50I think, for me, I see this concert as if the duo is still like...
10:58Solo too?
10:59Yes.
11:00I will still...
11:02A lot of songs?
11:03Yes.
11:05But I will accept the invitations to be the singer of the invitations.
11:11Something like that.
11:12So, that's not a problem?
11:13That's not a problem.
11:16Well, as Aina said earlier, taking care of your heart's health,
11:23taking care of your dental health, etc.
11:25Does it mean that taking care of Aina is necessary from all aspects of Aina?
11:32That's right.
11:34We didn't feel like this was heavy for Aina.
11:39You know, we feel like we are in our own lane.
11:43So, we feel like...
11:45We are supported by our own music team.
11:52The arranger is also my own friend.
11:54The one who recorded my vocals is also my teacher.
11:58Everyone said that Aina Abdul Entertainment's production.
12:02So, in order to manage me,
12:04now I have to take care of my heart's health.
12:11Because we can't cheat in this industry.
12:14Especially now.
12:16Sometimes, I don't read anything.
12:20But, I think the energy is there.
12:23The energy is there and the criticism is there to me.
12:29Without me asking, right?
12:31Because it's the universe talking to me.
12:36So, that's what I really want to take care of.
12:41Because I think if I want to work properly,
12:46with all out,
12:50I have to take care of my heart first.
12:53I have to take care of my mind.
12:55And it's not just me.
12:56I think in my team,
12:59they also need to strengthen themselves.
13:02Especially my family.
13:05I didn't understand this issue before.
13:09But now, I understand.
13:10Because now,
13:13I feel like sometimes I'm strong.
13:17But, my family now,
13:21maybe,
13:22you know,
13:23like my grandchildren are getting older.
13:26They all have their own gadgets.
13:28So, now they are the ones who read the comments.
13:32When they were young, I babysat them.
13:34But now, after a few years,
13:36now there are those who are 13 years old.
13:40They also delivered.
13:41They also complained to my mother.
13:45They said,
13:46even when I went back to my hometown,
13:49they were still talking about Aina Abdul.
13:51So, I thought,
13:54hmm, this thing is getting unhealthy.
13:57So, I thought,
13:59I feel sorry for my family.
14:02They have to read,
14:03they have to listen to other people's stories.
14:05Yes, and they are bothered by that.
14:08So, I said,
14:11my team, my family also have to be strong.
14:14Just like me.
14:15So, not only my heart,
14:17but their hearts also have to be strong.
14:20Yes, like that.
14:21Okay, you have to accept it.
14:22Yes.
14:23Right?
14:23Because of the presence of Aina Abdul.
14:26Right?
14:27Because one,
14:29because she is no longer the old Aina Abdul, right Aina?
14:33And Aina also knows how the progress is in Aina's career.
14:36And of course, when we talk about 2024,
14:40Aina's success,
14:42Aina Abdul herself,
14:45in competitions,
14:47people give high expectations
14:50for the name Aina Abdul.
14:52For example, in the awards ceremony,
14:56the candidates always give support
14:58to vote and they want Aina to win.
15:01And it is proven,
15:02almost all of Aina's awards ceremonies,
15:07Aina won.
15:09How the support is given to Aina.
15:11And to give another new color in our industry,
15:16Aina will definitely win.
15:17Aina will definitely win.
15:19If in the past, it was someone else who voted,
15:20this time, it's always her.
15:25It's interesting.
15:25I don't regulate every success.
15:32I just do my best.
15:34So, every project I do,
15:37I give 100%.
15:39Because, I don't know,
15:42I can't speak on behalf of other artists
15:46or other artists.
15:49But for me,
15:50every project I release is like,
15:57everything is from my own side.
16:04100%.
16:05So, I can't just play around.
16:08So, every time I have a chance
16:11or a big stage for me to compete,
16:15I will definitely give 100 million effort.
16:20Because I know that
16:21it's hard for me to spend that money.
16:25I want to release,
16:27I want to get the best ideas.
16:31Sometimes, I have to go to the forest.
16:34I have to go,
16:36you know,
16:36I have to sit on the rocks by the sea.
16:40Because I want to get all the inspiration.
16:42So,
16:44that's why I'm all out in every competition.
16:47But I think,
16:50when I'm given the success through my work,
16:55I think of it as a bonus.
16:56And I think of it as a reward for me
17:00and my team that has worked so hard.
17:03And I think,
17:04I don't get the success for free.
17:08I have to work so hard to get that success.
17:13And I pray for my mother too.
17:16If we talk about reward,
17:19when you succeed,
17:20it's a reward, right, Aina?
17:21Yes, it's a reward.
17:22With the effort,
17:22with what I've spent and so on.
17:25But when we talk about personal things,
17:29for example,
17:30financial matters,
17:33is it a reward for me
17:34with what I've invested?
17:36For example, people will think,
17:38for example,
17:38like music video,
17:40and then,
17:41the performance is perfect,
17:44costume and so on.
17:45People will think,
17:46okay,
17:47is it a reward for me?
17:51Yes, if we talk about personal things.
17:55If we see the success,
17:56you succeed, you win, and so on.
17:59Okay, Aina said it's a reward, right?
18:02In terms of,
18:04people say it's a reward for Aina, right?
18:06For me, it's a reward
18:07because,
18:09Alhamdulillah,
18:09I have my financial advisor.
18:13And I'm not,
18:15I only spend when I become Aina Abdul.
18:20If I leave Aina Abdul,
18:23even though people think,
18:25oh, she's still an artist, right?
18:27She must buy things.
18:30I don't spend at all.
18:32I don't spend at all.
18:34I only wear what I have.
18:37Even if I spend,
18:38I still buy my clothes in Bandar.
18:40I'm very stingy
18:42if I become Nurul Aina, you know.
18:44So, I won't buy expensive clothes.
18:48Even my jacket,
18:50I will spend hours and hours at Bandar.
18:56Yes, I'm that type.
18:58So, that's a side that I don't know.
19:00So, sometimes my fans ask me,
19:02where did you buy this dress?
19:03I say, I only bought it for RM10.
19:05And they don't believe me.
19:07But it's the truth.
19:08I don't know if Aina wears it for RM10, right?
19:10No, because for me,
19:11People think like that, right?
19:12Yes, people think like that.
19:13So, I think,
19:16in my entire career,
19:19for my personal size,
19:21I only have two luxury items.
19:25I only have two bags that I consider expensive.
19:28That's because I was forced to buy it.
19:31What do you mean by expensive?
19:32I don't know.
19:33But I think people understand
19:37brands like that, right?
19:40But you were forced?
19:40I was forced to buy it.
19:42I remember I was forced to buy it
19:44because they said,
19:45Aina, you have to have one.
19:47You have to have this bag too.
19:48People said, right?
19:49Okay.
19:50So, I said, I also bought it.
19:52That was also very difficult.
19:53When I want to pay.
19:55Yes, I want to process the payment.
19:56It's like thinking many times.
19:58Oh my God, it's so expensive.
20:00Is it worth it?
20:01I don't think it's worth it.
20:03Because after I bought two bags,
20:08I feel like, that's it.
20:10Do you wear it or not?
20:11No.
20:12See.
20:13I rarely wear it.
20:14I think I can count how many times I wear it.
20:16And to me, that's just my way of thinking.
20:20I feel like it's not important to me.
20:23I don't know.
20:24Maybe people outside will say,
20:26Aina doesn't look like an artist.
20:27It's okay.
20:30For me, I don't really care about it.
20:33Because to me,
20:35on other days, I became an artist too.
20:37On other days, I became Aina Abdul.
20:39Almost 24 hours, right, Aina?
20:41Yes.
20:41So, when I'm off time,
20:44I'll just wear any bag.
20:46A tote bag, you know.
20:47Anything.
20:49And if people say I don't look like an artist,
20:51or I don't look like a gah,
20:53I don't care.
20:54And it's more comfortable for you, actually.
20:56Yes, it's easy to walk, easy to, you know.
20:59No one will look down on us.
21:01They'll say, you're wearing an expensive bag.
21:02Expensive shoes.
21:03People will be jealous.
21:04I don't want that.
21:06I'm a bit old school.
21:08That's how it is.
21:09Yes, that's how it is.
21:10But yes, each has their own.
21:12Like Aina said,
21:13maybe that's Aina's choice.
21:14And I think it's worth it, right?
21:17Not spending more and so on.
21:21In terms of work, we also know that
21:24in 2024,
21:26Aina's songs will be released, right?
21:27And maybe in 2025.
21:30I think this question is also
21:32popular if we read the comments.
21:34People are waiting for 2025.
21:36Will the work be the same as Aina's?
21:39Or will the sound be different?
21:42I don't know.
21:46I've already planned my journey this year.
21:49I have songs that I have prepared.
21:51But I think this year,
21:56like I said earlier,
21:57I want to explore with my music.
22:03So, I'm also hoping that
22:06the works that I will produce
22:08are also new works,
22:10fresh works that people say
22:15that particular sound is in Aina Abdul,
22:18but maybe it has never been released yet.
22:21So, I'm hoping to do something different
22:24for this year.
22:25And I'm actually worried about
22:27the acceptance of fans too.
22:28Because I'm afraid that people...
22:30Well, there are a lot of comments saying
22:31that Aina always sings the same song.
22:34But if Aina releases another song,
22:36you will listen to that one too, right?
22:39So, you want Aina to sing high notes too, right?
22:42So, sometimes I'm also wondering
22:46what people actually want.
22:48Like if we try to do something else,
22:52I've done it before.
22:53I've just released an English song
22:56that's like, you know...
22:57Relaxed.
22:57Relaxed.
22:58And a little bit different
22:59from Aina Abdul's sound.
23:05But people listen to...
23:08The old one too.
23:09The old one too, right?
23:10So, I'm like...
23:13I think I also struggle
23:17to find the right song for me.
23:22For Aina...
23:23A little bit different, right?
23:24Yes, because Aina thinks like
23:27I have to be smart in this decision-making.
23:32I won't leave Aina Abdul.
23:34But maybe I'll run away a little
23:37from the typical Aina Abdul.
23:40Or maybe Aina needs to open up a space
23:42to work with other composers.
23:44Or maybe those composers
23:46are afraid to give songs to Aina.
23:49Or is it possible that before this,
23:51they've already given...
23:52Oh, it's not Aina's taste.
23:53It's not Aina Abdul.
23:55There must be.
23:56Yes, there are songs that I accept
23:59that are songs from other composers.
24:02I always ask my manager to
24:05reach out to other composers too, right?
24:08But so far,
24:10they don't fit with me.
24:12Because I know if I...
24:14I have a bit of a sensitive ear.
24:18So, when I listen to demos,
24:20I listen...
24:24I don't know how to explain it.
24:25But I listen through everything.
24:29I will really listen to the melody.
24:34And certain songs that I accept,
24:37there are some that are good too.
24:39But I think, this is not me.
24:42This is not...
24:43Eh, her song is good.
24:45But it's not me.
24:46This is probably for Gen Z.
24:49For other singers.
24:50Younger singers, you know.
24:53And that's what I tell my team.
24:56But I don't always refuse.
24:57I will say,
24:59are there any other songs?
25:00Okay.
25:01So, so far, I do have a chemistry
25:05in terms of writing the melody.
25:08And also, I am Farouk Roman.
25:11Farouk Roman, we do have chemistry.
25:15Similar.
25:16Yes, in our writing, there is chemistry.
25:20Every time he sends me a song or a demo,
25:23I rarely turn down.
25:25I will...
25:26I will take time.
25:28Yes.
25:29I will listen to it many times.
25:32I'm like,
25:33even though I'm playing with time,
25:35you know,
25:37taking time to record everything,
25:39I will still make sure
25:42everybody in my team
25:43to give me some time.
25:44Because I feel like the song has no potential.
25:47So, for Farouk Roman's work,
25:51it's a work that I like.
25:55And I would love to work with him again
25:58in the future.
25:59Because I think he has a melody that is...
26:04delicious.
26:05He has a delicious melody.
26:07So, when I sing it,
26:09I put my lyrics,
26:10I feel like,
26:11oh, it's a match.
26:13It's a marriage.
26:15I don't mean to accept it.
26:16It's okay to record it.
26:17It's good to take care of the heart, right?
26:19No, because for me,
26:21later, I will also sing that song.
26:23That's right.
26:24So, I have to adjust it to my taste.
26:27And also,
26:28I have to write something in that song.
26:32So, it doesn't matter.
26:33You have to be honest.
26:34Yes, I have to be honest with what I sing.
26:36So, it's not like what people say,
26:41like people say,
26:42wearing clothes but it doesn't fit.
26:45It has to...
26:46It has to fit.
26:47It has to fit.
26:48Right, you just saw it.
26:49Oh, this is it.
26:50That's right, even though the clothes were bought.
26:53Aina,
26:55if we talk about songs too,
26:58of course, there are a lot of people
27:00who call you Aina Abdul's song bank.
27:03It's just that they want to wait for it to come out or not.
27:05And for 2025,
27:08the fans are still waiting, right?
27:10What's next?
27:12And I guess, maybe you want to choose, Aina?
27:16If it's my own work,
27:18actually, right now,
27:20we want to fast, we want to be near, right?
27:22I also...
27:23People are waiting for Raya songs, right?
27:24Yes, that's the Raya song, right?
27:26So, Raya songs too, I...
27:28Raya songs, I will always collaborate with the writer.
27:31I won't do it myself
27:32because it's hard for me to make catchy songs.
27:35My soul is not a happy soul.
27:38Aina's soul is heartbroken.
27:39Yes, she's heartbroken just now.
27:43So, I'm afraid my Raya songs will be sad.
27:50Sad songs, people want to be happy, right?
27:53Want to go home.
27:54But my songs are sad.
27:55So, Raya songs, God willing, will be there.
27:59It will be released, God willing.
28:01I'm not sure about that yet
28:02because I'm also contemplating
28:04with the demos that I received.
28:08I also...
28:08I have to...
28:09This is what people say.
28:10Choose.
28:11Choose, people say, right?
28:13Although people say,
28:13don't choose too much, but...
28:15Have to.
28:16Have to.
28:18People don't understand that.
28:19Because my pressure is a little different.
28:22What I release,
28:24and what will be said,
28:26only God knows.
28:27How critical people can be towards me.
28:33So, I can't just release songs casually.
28:36So, God willing, you guys say,
28:39my own song,
28:40God willing, maybe in May.
28:43I want to give, you know,
28:45let's be happy with Raya songs first.
28:47Give a boost first, right?
28:49God willing.
28:53It's necessary, Aina, right?
28:55True.
28:55Even though people say,
28:56you're a troublemaker.
28:58But it's necessary.
28:59It's necessary.
29:00Because if it's not good,
29:02you guys will be the ones to blame.
29:05Now, again, oh God.
29:09Every day, I don't...
29:11I don't read it,
29:12but I deliver it.
29:14Every day, every minute,
29:15people curse.
29:19So,
29:20I have to be careful
29:22in what I release.
29:25That's why.
29:27Aina, before the competition,
29:29many people may want to know,
29:31what is your routine
29:32before the competition?
29:36Oh, I...
29:37You want to take care, right?
29:39We know.
29:42If I want to compete,
29:43I'm very scary.
29:47I'm very...
29:49People will be afraid of me.
29:50Because my spirit is different.
29:55I'm different.
29:56If I'm in the competition,
30:01I will be very independent.
30:05I do a lot of self-exercise.
30:09I mean,
30:09I do a lot of self-exercise.
30:12Usually, people will be teachers, right?
30:14But for me,
30:15I choose to
30:18find the knowledge by reading.
30:21And I will try until I get it.
30:24I'm more...
30:27I'm more willing to be independent.
30:29And now, I'm accompanied by my cats at home.
30:33So, they...
30:35They witness all the exercises
30:37that I do for myself.
30:39Practice, practice,
30:40voice, practice, everything.
30:43In terms of arrangement,
30:45I'm very, very...
30:47hard on myself
30:49in this competition season.
30:51So, people won't see me anywhere.
30:54I will rarely go out.
30:56I won't reply to comments from fans.
31:00I won't even do live.
31:03Because I feel like
31:04this is the period for me
31:08to deepen my heart.
31:12Because I want to deliver a difficult song, right?
31:15So, this song is not about my life.
31:18I've never been married.
31:20I don't have a child.
31:21So, for this time, AJL,
31:25through Puasudah,
31:26this is not a song about me.
31:29But I wrote the song.
31:31And I was inspired to write a song
31:34for other...
31:35Stories.
31:35Yes, for other people's stories.
31:38Wives or husbands
31:41who experienced it.
31:42So, I have to
31:45think, how to
31:47soul this song
31:48even though I've never been married.
31:50I don't have a child.
31:51How do I convey their feelings
31:54who have been through the problem for years?
31:57That's right.
31:58So,
32:00I have to be prepared.
32:01And...
32:03This time,
32:04the pressure is very different.
32:07Very different because
32:09the soul of this song is very big for me.
32:12And...
32:14Even after I practiced,
32:15I...
32:16Even if I want to practice in front of people,
32:20I will...
32:21I will overthink.
32:22I usually practice alone, right?
32:25Then, when I finally practiced in front of my team,
32:28they said,
32:29Oh my God.
32:32Oh my God.
32:33You seemed to be down just now.
32:38She has become a different person.
32:39Yes.
32:40She said, you have to be down for this song.
32:42She's different.
32:43She said, she's not...
32:45She's not, don't be down for this song.
32:47She's not, keep on living.
32:48She's satisfied.
32:50So, I...
32:54I'm a bit scary.
32:55If I want to prepare for the competition,
32:57even my food, I will be very critical.
33:01Even the gym training,
33:03I will choose the exercise that I want to do.
33:07So, I'm really...
33:09I'm a totally different human being.
33:10So, I always say this to my team,
33:14give me until this Sunday.
33:16Give me until this Sunday night.
33:21And then, on Monday,
33:22I'm back to Nurul Aina.
33:24I can have fun, eat happily.
33:28But for this week,
33:29I'm sorry if I upset their hearts.
33:32So, you can't speak badly.
33:33Yes.
33:36Right?
33:37If you speak badly, it's over.
33:39It's over.
33:40No, I will just be quiet.
33:42But they understand me.
33:43They know what they want to say.
33:46Even, I'm so happy.
33:49And I'm grateful that they understand me.
33:52They know what they want to say to me.
33:56Until that stage.
33:58So, thank you to my team for understanding,
34:02for being, you know,
34:04for supporting me and understanding
34:08my inner and outer self.
34:11Aina, like you said earlier,
34:12I mean,
34:13what is it?
34:16What is it?
34:17People said, they were moved
34:18when you said,
34:21even if you don't read it,
34:22no one will reach you.
34:23It's like,
34:24if the chair at the table can speak,
34:26they can also reach you, right?
34:28Even though you don't read it,
34:30people still convey it.
34:31Especially now.
34:34Since recently,
34:35maybe since last year,
34:39the comparison episodes
34:42are written more often
34:46on social media,
34:47among the fans themselves too.
34:49Like this, like that.
34:51This achievement, that achievement.
34:53It's a lot, right?
34:54Not just one or two artists,
34:55but many are compared.
34:58As a singer, artist,
35:01Aina, how do you feel?
35:03What do people say?
35:06A situation like this, Aina,
35:08which is also unhealthy, right?
35:15I think I can,
35:17I can share what I feel.
35:19Sad, sad, sad.
35:21Because if we look at it,
35:24from the comparisons that
35:26have been said around this time,
35:33all of them are women.
35:35And that is the saddest thing to me.
35:38To me, that is the saddest thing.
35:40Because women or women
35:43who are compared,
35:44we don't see men being compared.
35:48We have never heard of a male singer
35:51being compared to a female singer.
35:53We don't hear that.
35:55And I think, to me, it's very sad.
36:00Why, why does our industry
36:03need to reach this stage
36:05to compare from this female singer
36:10to the next female singer?
36:11Why don't we all, you know,
36:14celebrate the same success?
36:16So, sometimes we ourselves don't feel,
36:20you know, for example,
36:22if this singer is my friend,
36:24but I don't, I don't feel awkward.
36:27But because of what people say,
36:29that's what makes it awkward.
36:31And I feel sad.
36:34Why are the current music fans,
36:39the current generation,
36:40or those who are active on social media,
36:43use this topic as their heart.
36:48You know, it's like,
36:49they're not happy with something.
36:50They're not satisfied with certain decisions.
36:53And they put it on social media.
36:56And these women are compared like that.
37:01And for me, it's sad.
37:03Again, because why,
37:06why do women need to be in this position?
37:10Even if we want to break through,
37:12we have our own challenges, you know.
37:16True.
37:17Women's hearts are different, right?
37:19Even if we want to break through,
37:23it's a challenge.
37:26Especially when we've done our best,
37:30and then when people don't get,
37:34they don't get our intuition well,
37:37then they pick us, fall apart, you know.
37:40Like, pick us apart.
37:41So, I feel like it's unhealthy.
37:44And I really, really hate that.
37:49I don't like it when people always compare.
37:53Because now, now I have to feel,
37:56how do I meet them?
37:58Now I have to feel that, you know.
37:59So, I feel like that thing,
38:01on top of everything, I have to think about it.
38:03That relationship, right?
38:04That relationship and their hearts,
38:07my heart.
38:08So, I hope,
38:10I feel like this thing won't go away.
38:12And this thing too,
38:14you know, when people say,
38:15when people talk about us on social media,
38:18whether it's good or bad,
38:20that's marketing for us, right?
38:21Yes, it's true.
38:22But, to what extent?
38:26I, sometimes I wonder,
38:29until what, where, you know.
38:32To which extent?
38:33To which extent do I have,
38:36do we all have to read this,
38:40and then we question,
38:42what are our advantages,
38:44what are our disadvantages?
38:46It's unhealthy.
38:47If we want to put our video,
38:50people see, okay, I'm better than this,
38:51I'm worse than this, right?
38:52It can't be like that, right?
38:54Yes.
38:54It's actually unhealthy.
38:56That's right.
38:57While this industry needs to be celebrated.
39:00We, our industry is small.
39:02Malaysia is not that big either.
39:05When we have good singers,
39:09you know, we celebrate.
39:10We celebrate, we celebrate,
39:12we celebrate their success.
39:14And, let's just talk about the good thing.
39:18Because,
39:20the battle is only on social media.
39:23Outside, we are all friends.
39:26You know, so,
39:29I know it's not going to end,
39:31these words.
39:32You know, maybe after this podcast,
39:34it will be more.
39:35But, it's okay.
39:36I've said what I said.
39:37I feel like it's unhealthy.
39:40And, if for me,
39:44don't give these women anymore.
39:47You know, I feel small.
39:49All the women who are said,
39:51it takes a long time to be in this industry, you know.
39:56It's hard.
39:57So, take care of their hearts.
40:01These women's hearts are very fragile.
40:03Yes, God.
40:04Fragile.
40:06Aina, we also know,
40:09your collaboration with Fabio,
40:14for the film,
40:17Cinta Tak Tepat Waktu,
40:20was released last year.
40:23And, the film was just screened.
40:25And, you just went to Indonesia, to Jakarta,
40:27to listen to this song directly
40:30at the premiere of the film.
40:32Of course, the fans there,
40:36many new fans want to know Aina Abdul.
40:39Right, Aina?
40:40Yes.
40:41Their reception.
40:42Alhamdulillah, I was quite shocked.
40:46That day, I just came back from Jakarta.
40:49I was quite shocked when we were walking
40:55and were stopped.
40:56I was shocked.
40:57I felt like, hey, do you know me?
41:01But, I was shocked because there was,
41:04you know, the music is,
41:08the music is already flying now.
41:10And, it's already spreading.
41:13And, I can feel,
41:15what is this, from this song,
41:17I got new listeners there.
41:19And, I got Indonesian fans,
41:23that I was like,
41:24oh, Indonesian fans are like this.
41:26They are a little different from Malaysian fans.
41:29They are all sweet.
41:31But, I was like, oh, this is their support.
41:34They are loved.
41:35Yes.
41:36So, I was surprised
41:37when I appeared that day,
41:38there were people shouting.
41:40I hope, I was expecting like,
41:43like, it will be dead silent.
41:45Like, people said my name,
41:46but it was like,
41:48quiet.
41:49But, apparently, there were people shouting.
41:52I think it's because of the blessings
41:53from the fans of Fabio too.
41:56Because, they all became my fans too.
42:00So, I am thankful
42:02because of this story,
42:03I was able to spread my wings there.
42:06And, you won't stop there, right?
42:08No, I won't.
42:09God willing, I will.
42:11Don't forget to watch this film.
42:13And, I hope this film will be well-received.
42:16For me, I have watched this film.
42:19This film is very relatable
42:21with all of our hearts.
42:23You know, when we feel like,
42:25it's the right time,
42:26but maybe,
42:27the person is right,
42:28but the time is wrong.
42:30So, this film tells about
42:33that kind of relationship.
42:34So, I hope,
42:35when it's released in Malaysia,
42:39or on the streaming platform in Malaysia,
42:42I hope Malaysian fans will accept this film well.
42:46I really, really love this movie.
42:48I hope,
42:50the success of this movie,
42:52and maybe,
42:53it will also be a success for
42:55Cinta Tak Pernah Tepak Waktu Lagunya.
42:57I hope, from the success of the song,
43:00and my name, Abdul,
43:02will be accepted in Indonesia, right?
43:03Let's say, one day,
43:05I will be offered to be a judge there.
43:09There are a lot of competitions there, Aina.
43:11And, they know your credibility as a singer here.
43:14How is your success?
43:17Are you sad?
43:18Thank you, Abang. Ameen.
43:21I really hope for that kind of opportunity.
43:25I just,
43:27people say,
43:28I just stepped into the industry in Indonesia.
43:31I feel like,
43:32it's so difficult.
43:33Because I feel like,
43:35every minute, every second,
43:36there is a new singer,
43:37and the song is the best.
43:39So,
43:40I talked to Fabio that day.
43:43Fabio said,
43:47there are too many good ones,
43:48and the songs are good.
43:51So,
43:52the competition is double, triple harder.
43:56So, I hope,
43:58my arrival there,
44:00with the promotion that I will do later,
44:02will be more well-received.
44:05And,
44:07I hope all of you can hang out with me with this song,
44:10Cinta Tak Pernah Tepat Waktu Ni.
44:12This song is a song from Melly Goslo.
44:16It's also an achievement for me,
44:18to sing her song.
44:21To call Melly Goslo as a friend of mine,
44:25I feel like,
44:27it's still a dream, you know.
44:30I still feel like I'm dreaming,
44:33when I,
44:35what is it,
44:36Melly Goslo is,
44:37people say,
44:39there is a song written by her,
44:40and I sang it.
44:41Her song.
44:42Yes.
44:43At that time, I felt like,
44:44oh my God, is this true?
44:46But it's true.
44:47And I,
44:49I didn't expect, oh my God.
44:50That's all I want to say.
44:51Is there any other offer from Melly?
44:53You know, the movie Rangga Cinta,
44:54you want to sing a song.
44:55Oh my God.
44:56I'm,
44:58what is it, people say,
44:59we are manifesting good energy now,
45:01I hope,
45:04there will be more,
45:06who will work with me there.
45:09Of course, I want to work with Melly Goslo again.
45:11Who doesn't want, you know,
45:12her gold work, right?
45:15For me, every work of hers is a gold work,
45:17because every work that is released,
45:18it will definitely be a jewel.
45:21So,
45:23yeah, I hope,
45:24my next visit to Indonesia,
45:25will be a good trip.
45:28Okay, in the last minute,
45:29maybe,
45:31for this year 2025,
45:33what do you want to share,
45:35what do you want to say to,
45:38to yourself,
45:39especially,
45:40and also to all the fans of Aina Abdul?
45:46My advice for myself is,
45:48or words,
45:51for Aina Abdul,
45:53I hope,
45:55Aina Abdul will be stronger this year.
45:57I hope, Aina Abdul will be more,
45:59people say,
45:59strengthen your ears.
46:01Don't,
46:02you can't listen to music later, right?
46:06Strengthen things that shouldn't be.
46:10Okay.
46:12So,
46:13I hope,
46:14Aina Abdul will be,
46:17stronger,
46:18to accept,
46:20whatever obstacles that will come,
46:24and Aina Abdul will also be more,
46:25you know,
46:26be happy for her own,
46:29upcoming success.
46:31For me, that's important because,
46:32sometimes,
46:34I,
46:35maybe people see me get an award,
46:37but deep down,
46:38I doubt myself a lot.
46:40So, I wasn't really happy with,
46:43my success because I,
46:45that's because of the comments,
46:46and I feel like,
46:47oh, I'm not worthy, right?
46:49So, I hope,
46:50Aina Abdul will be more open,
46:52with, you know,
46:53comments,
46:53and also,
46:55the success that,
46:56God willing, she will create,
46:59she will be more, you know,
47:01happy with herself,
47:02with the surrounding situation.
47:04And,
47:06I hope Aina Abdul will also,
47:08make more songs that are fun,
47:10songs that are heartwarming,
47:13songs that will be,
47:17accompaniment,
47:18for her listeners.
47:20And,
47:21to my fans,
47:23I hope,
47:25this year is a year for you,
47:28to not forget me,
47:30even though I don't have a concert,
47:32but I will still have,
47:33lots of releases,
47:35that I will release this year.
47:37So,
47:38look forward to,
47:40all the songs that Aina will release this year,
47:43whether it's,
47:45your own story,
47:47or not your own story.
47:49I hope,
47:50you will try to get to know,
47:51Aina Abdul's side,
47:53which might be a little different,
47:55but you guys will still accept,
47:56Aina Abdul for who she is.
47:58That's all from me.
