00:00 Now I'm afraid because I'm too spoiled with him.
00:03 We all depend on him.
00:05 Now, Pak Abu wants you to continue this song.
00:23 Or evaluate your voice.
00:25 If you can, go ahead.
00:27 Okay?
00:28 Okay.
00:29 Recite a prayer and sing.
00:30 Okay.
00:31 Continue.
00:58 Why did you ask Ernie to sing that song?
01:01 Because you used to be a drama critic.
01:04 After that, your coach said,
01:09 "Hey, Pak Abu, you listen to this song.
01:12 You can put it in any scene you want."
01:15 You put it in all the scenes.
01:16 Because?
01:17 Because it fits.
01:19 That's right, Pak Abu.
01:20 Tell us a little bit about the history of the song.
01:22 I don't know.
01:23 The history of the song.
01:24 Thank you.
01:25 But you forgot the name of the drama.
01:27 It's been a long time, Ernie.
01:29 Tell us a little bit about the history of the song.
01:31 If I'm not mistaken, Pak Abu, that was your first song, right?
01:33 That's right.
01:34 My first song.
01:35 2009.
01:37 I was 17 years old in 2009.
01:39 I recorded that song.
01:40 If someone...
01:41 Don't open it.
01:42 But if someone opens the music video,
01:44 I'll curse Pak Abu.
01:45 Because the song was so short.
01:46 But Pak Abu liked it.
01:48 Huh?
01:48 Pak Abu liked it.
01:49 Pak Abu liked it.
01:50 Okay.
01:51 After that, tell us a little bit about the history.
01:52 I recorded that song when I was 17 years old.
01:55 That was my first song.
01:56 It was made by Azlan Abu Hassan.
01:58 Yes.
01:59 God willing, I worked with a great person at that time.
02:01 A great composer.
02:03 Famous.
02:04 Yes.
02:05 And...
02:06 Actually, that song is still stuck in my heart.
02:09 If people know that song, I feel like...
02:12 I'll be like...
02:13 "Pia, you're right. You know this song."
02:15 Because at that time, I struggled to find a name.
02:18 So, that song is my starting point.
02:22 In my career.
02:23 If that song was made now,
02:26 if that song was born now,
02:28 it would be a huge hit.
02:29 Because Pak Abu's composer was...
02:32 Great. Right.
02:33 Pak Abu had two types of composers.
02:37 One was a composer who made songs with his soul.
02:39 The other was a composer who made songs using software.
02:42 So, Pak Abu...
02:43 Is it true, Ernie?
02:44 It's my first time hearing about a composer using software.
02:46 But it's true.
02:46 What do you think, Ernie?
02:48 About the composer who didn't use software.
02:51 He used his soul, music tools and the current composer
02:56 who used technology more.
02:59 Okay. Actually, whatever we do,
03:00 it has to be in time.
03:02 There's no right or wrong.
03:03 And there's no rule to make music.
03:07 As long as the singer wants it, it will be achieved.
03:11 But for me, maybe I'm in two eras.
03:14 At that time, 2009,
03:16 it was still the era of heavy souls.
03:19 Heavy songs like that.
03:20 And in 2011 and 2012,
03:23 it was the modern era of songwriting.
03:26 So, I experienced both.
03:28 And of course, both are very different.
03:30 And they gave me different experiences.
03:34 So, I want to say that
03:36 of course, I'm a 92-year-old girl.
03:40 We're more heavy.
03:41 I, of course,
03:43 if I was in the past,
03:44 the way I worked with old people
03:46 really inspired me.
03:49 I was afraid of being nervous
03:50 because they worked differently.
03:51 They were very strict.
03:52 Now, I'm not saying they weren't strict.
03:54 It's just that now,
03:56 maybe a lot of technology is easier for us.
03:59 In the past,
04:00 if the pitching was a little off,
04:01 we could edit it.
04:03 -In the past... -There was auto-tune.
04:05 In the past, we had to really
04:09 repeat it again,
04:10 but we couldn't get to the pitching.
04:11 So, I worked in both eras.
04:14 And for me, both are different.
04:18 And at the same time,
04:19 both actually had a positive impact
04:22 on our music industry.
04:25 Imagine,
04:26 Ernie, who already has artistic blood,
04:28 because his father and mother
04:30 are all singers,
04:32 meaning that he has artistic blood,
04:33 but he also struggles.
04:35 What else can he do?
04:37 So, in Ernie's opinion,
04:39 Ernie is someone who already has talent
04:41 or has learned to sing.
04:45 Talent or learned to sing.
04:49 Is that right?
04:49 Yes, yes.
04:51 I'm just afraid that we'll shout.
04:54 -It's okay. -We'll say that we have talent.
04:55 If we shout, it's okay.
04:57 -It's okay, right? -It's okay.
04:58 Of course, I discovered my talent
05:02 through my parents,
05:03 because I've been singing since I was five years old.
05:05 -You've been singing since you were five? -Yes, five years old.
05:07 So, at that time, we sang...
05:09 If you've been singing for five years,
05:11 how old are you?
05:13 I'm sorry.
05:15 Ernie, if he laughs,
05:18 his ears will be pierced.
05:21 -I'm sorry. -If you've been singing for five years,
05:24 how old are you?
05:26 I don't know. I don't remember.
05:27 -But five years ago, I remember. -You can sing at five years old?
05:30 My first song, "Penasaran",
05:31 "Kalau Belum"
05:33 "Bisa Aku"
05:34 -because my father used to play drums. -Why? The song doesn't match your age?
05:38 -That's right. My father used to play drums. -Oh, your father used to play drums.
05:40 He got married.
05:42 So, I always followed him.
05:43 I always heard the band's singer sing songs like that.
05:47 That's why I'm more attached to old songs
05:50 because I grew up listening to old songs.
05:53 I understand. It's the soul.
05:55 If I were to say, talent is what my father discovered.
05:59 And maybe because I was really interested in singing,
06:03 I started to learn.
06:05 When I started to learn, I was already an adult.
06:06 I learned to sing.
06:08 I took up music because I was interested.
06:09 And for me, it was because of my deep interest and the knowledge I gained
06:16 that brought me here.
06:18 Your family supported you.
06:19 Your family supported you.
06:20 So, your father didn't tell you to stop singing
06:23 and to become a doctor or a lawyer.
06:25 He told me to study to become a great singer.
06:28 -Great. That's what we want. -Praise be to God.
06:32 -So that when your family sees that your son is good at singing, they'll take you in. -Yes.
06:37 -Let's go to a deeper question. -Oh, dear.
06:40 -That was deep. This one is even deeper. -Yes, that one was deeper.
06:44 Okay.
06:45 Your father likes to meet artists who are already married.
06:49 Because he understands the atmosphere better.
06:55 You're an artist. You married an artist.
06:59 Your family is an artist.
07:01 Your life is also an artist.
07:03 So, when you got married, did your partner have a diva?
07:11 Like...
07:12 A child of a washerwoman.
07:16 -Pak Abu. -If it's like Pak Abu, he's more willing...
07:20 -Pak Abu is a diva? -Pak Abu is not yet.
07:23 -Not yet? Okay. -Not yet.
07:24 -Don't know. -Pak Abu...
07:26 Pak Abu is more willing to be a washerwoman than a milkman.
07:29 -Because? -Because a milkman has to be clean.
07:32 He has to be tidy.
07:34 It's okay to be a washerwoman. Just a diva.
07:36 What about you, Ernie?
07:37 Okay. Like this. Me and Syamil, maybe we don't have any friends in our group.
07:44 Maybe our family has a singer.
07:47 And me and my husband are also singers.
07:49 But in our life, if people see us, they will say, "Oh, dear.
07:53 They're so ordinary. They're not humble like that."
07:56 No. We are...
07:58 Syamil and I are very simple.
08:01 We don't like extra things.
08:04 Because we were taught that since we were kids.
08:07 So, he doesn't have any friends in the artist group.
08:10 I don't have any friends in the artist group.
08:11 Not that I don't have any friends.
08:12 I don't have any friends who are my friends in the afterlife.
08:15 I have many close friends.
08:17 -Working friends. -Working friends.
08:19 -You said you know. -I don't know.
08:21 I don't know why I follow Pak Abu.
08:24 But Pak Abu agrees.
08:25 Because Pak Abu met Aunty Ernie, Zainal Zain.
08:29 Yes.
08:30 He's so...
08:32 He's so humble.
08:34 The way he talks is like...
08:37 Because... Yes. At the end of the day, we...
08:41 He has taught his children like that.
08:43 Of course. I take many examples from Anwar Zain and Zainal Zain.
08:47 Anwar Zain is a big name.
08:50 But try to sit next to him.
08:51 We feel very comfortable.
08:52 Because we were raised in a very...
08:56 It's all about family and family.
08:59 And in a very simple situation.
09:01 And maybe that's why there's no diva between me and my husband.
09:07 He's the one who's always like...
09:09 "B, my child is dying. It's okay. Let me wash it."
09:12 Praise be to Allah. I was adopted by a husband who understands me.
09:15 He's just like me.
09:16 I'm not the one who's always at home.
09:18 Ernie Zakri is not there.
09:20 There's no diva.
09:21 This is not Pak Abu who's asking.
09:22 These are the people from the office who are asking.
09:24 There are many widows who are not married yet.
09:26 He said that if there's a widow like Syamil, he'll tell you.
09:29 If there's a widow... -It's okay.
09:32 Syamil is not there.
09:33 He's not there.
09:34 If Ernie wasn't an artist, what would you be?
09:41 Okay.
09:43 To be honest, I used to dream about it.
09:44 I thought I was very handsome.
09:46 I wanted to be a farmer.
09:47 But I couldn't. My height wasn't high enough.
09:50 How can I carry my bag? I couldn't help.
09:53 But I forgot about my dream.
09:55 I'm actually very interested in singing.
09:58 So, I couldn't...
09:59 You're like Mak Menakan.
10:02 I like it.
10:04 But I know that my physical condition isn't perfect.
10:09 Pak Abu said that. Ernie said that.
10:11 I'm still interested in singing.
10:14 So, I feel like I can't do anything else.
10:17 I might not be a singer. I might just be a vocal teacher.
10:20 But it's okay.
10:22 I can't think of myself as a doctor or a mathematician.
10:26 I'm just an ordinary person. -I agree.
10:29 Even if they ask us twice, we'll still use calculator.
10:33 It's not as bad as my life. -There's a calculator in Mujjok.
10:37 There's one in Mujjok.
10:39 If Syamil wasn't an artist, would you marry him?
10:46 Because I met him while he was singing with me.
10:50 So, I couldn't imagine.
10:52 Maybe our fates are different.
10:53 But maybe Allah has given me a strong fate...
10:55 ...because I met him while he was singing.
10:58 So, I can't imagine if I'd want him or not if he wasn't a singer.
11:01 Because he was cute.
11:04 I have a secret. -Okay.
11:08 Do you think that women like men who are physically strong?
11:15 Yes.
11:17 What is it that you're interested in?
11:21 For example, you like your first wife.
11:25 You have three wives.
11:27 Is this true? -Yes, it's true.
11:31 The first one is because she's good at cooking.
11:35 The second one is because she takes care of herself.
11:38 The third one is because she's spoiled.
11:42 You like that kind of woman. -Okay. -Syamil.
11:45 Maybe he's caring.
11:51 Sometimes he's caring too much.
11:53 I can say that.
11:55 Before this, I was independent.
11:57 I worked on my own. I did everything on my own.
12:00 Now, I'm afraid because I'm too spoiled with him.
12:04 We all depend on him.
12:06 I can say that he's the most caring.
12:12 He's caring. -I love him.
12:14 I've met Syamil a few times. He's....
12:17 He's soft-spoken.
12:19 He's soft-spoken and sweet.
12:21 He's like a sweet talker to you. -He is.
12:24 But to you, he's a flirt.
12:26 He's a flirt. Maybe that's why I'm so into him.
12:29 So, when you go to the night market, have you ever been there?
12:35 Yes. -Where do you go?
12:37 I don't know. -Go to the sixth section.
12:40 The thirteenth section. -Yes.
12:42 What do you buy?
12:44 How much do you spend on Syamil at the night market?
12:49 Syamil goes to the night market.
12:51 I don't go to the night market. -You don't like it?
12:53 Not much. But I like to buy corn.
12:57 Corn is delicious.
12:59 What kind of hair do you have?
13:02 After I take a shower, I'll wear a wig.
13:05 Then I'll wear a shirt. What about you, Irni?
13:08 I don't like to wear a wig. -You prefer to wear a wig?
13:11 Do you like to stay at home or outside?
13:19 Outside. I like to stay at home.
13:21 You like to stay at home. -Yes.
13:23 After you've finished eating, whether it's at home or at the restaurant,
13:27 do you like to clean the plates or just leave them at the restaurant?
13:32 I leave them at some places.
13:35 Honestly, I leave them at some places and clean them at others.
13:41 So, today you're at Belkany Park Abu.
13:44 We don't want to talk too much. -Okay.
13:46 But you have a lot of work today. What's after this?
13:49 I have work.
13:51 You have work.
13:52 You have work. It looks like you're not busy, but you're very busy.
13:57 Especially with your child and your husband.
14:00 You're very busy. What are you busy with now?
14:02 Taking care of my child.
14:04 Look at her. Even when she's laughing, she can sing.
14:08 How can she sing?
14:10 The latest song that's coming out. What's the title?
14:14 Korban. -Korban.
14:16 After Korban, there's a new song?
14:18 Let's keep it a secret.
14:20 That's not the title. -No?
14:22 We have to keep the title? -Yes.
14:24 Do you have any plans to make a song with Anwar Zain and Ziana Zain?
14:31 I have it in my heart. I've kept it in mind even before I told them.
14:36 So, you're hoping... -I hope they'll agree.
14:39 You're hoping that Ernie Zakri will be even greater than Anwar Zain and Ziana Zain?
14:46 I just want to say amen.
14:47 I just want to say amen. Since I was a kid, Pak Abu has been singing...
14:52 ...Ziana Zain and Anwar Zain's songs.
14:55 If you're on Instagram, you can do a reel.
14:58 Anwar Zain's song.
15:01 He'll be happy. -If it wasn't for Anwar Zain and Ziana Zain.
15:03 The last song Ernie Zakri sang. What was it?
15:05 Korban. -No. Rindu Bukan Teman.
15:08 Oh, Rindu Bukan Teman?
15:09 That's Pak Abu's ringtone.
15:14 I want to tell you that we're haters.
15:17 We know what our fans are like.
15:19 I said, "Thank you for supporting me."
15:22 Haters are going to hate.
15:24 We can't say that.
15:26 But I think if they see me in person, they'll fall in love with me.
15:30 Yes. Pak Abu is always touched by Ernie's songs.
15:33 His songs with his husband.
15:36 I think that singers have a lot of rewards.
15:40 What's the reason? -Because they're always criticized?
15:43 No. That's one of the reasons.
15:45 When people listen to his songs...
15:47 ...apart from the usual lyrics...
15:52 ...when we listen to his songs, we make people feel calm.
15:56 That's a reward. When we make people feel happy...
15:59 ...I think that's a reward.
16:01 Praise be to Allah.
16:02 Don't forget, with great artists like Ernie Zakri...
16:07 ...we've interviewed Aina Abdul.
16:09 We interviewed Joe Frizzo.
16:13 Pak Abu is so swag.
16:15 He's so swag.
16:17 If you want to know more about Ernie Zakri, you can google him.
16:23 I'm not telling you that.
16:25 Just google him. He's on IG, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter.
16:31 Just follow him. -Thank you, Ernie Zakri...
16:33 ...for accompanying Pak Abu.
16:35 Thank you, Pak Abu. -For spending time with him.
16:37 Please help him become a great artist like he is now.
16:43 Ameen. -Pak Abu, you're wearing a BTS t-shirt?
16:45 Yes. -Pak Abu, this is Army BTS.
16:49 Pak Abu doesn't listen to BTS. This is a Bomsu's wife.
16:52 She heard you and Army wanted to see you.
16:55 So, she wore it. -Pak Abu, this t-shirt is so cute!
16:59 Sing a BTS song.
17:01 Oh, no.
17:04 He's worried about the Korean fans. He can't brag about it.
17:08 Ernie Zakri, if you have new songs, please share them with Suria.
17:12 We'll play them. -As usual.
17:13 We'll always support Ernie Zakri.
17:15 Even though we don't have any songs, we'll support him.
17:17 We'll support him even though we don't have any songs.
17:20 Greetings to Syamil.
17:22 May your son be...
17:25 A good son. -A good and great person.
17:28 Ameen. -Take care of their parents when they're old.
17:32 Ameen. -Don't forget...
17:34 ...to say Pak Abu with...
17:36 Ernie Zakri. -Let's say "Mantap, Pak Abu".
17:39 1, 2, 3. -Mantap, Pak Abu.
17:42 Close your eyes.
17:44 Mantap, Pak Abu. -Mantap, Pak Abu.
17:47 Thank you, Ernie. -Thank you, Pak Abu.
17:52 Mantap, Pak Abu.
17:55 Hey, look out.
17:57 Look out.
18:00 Look out.
18:02 Pak Abu, look out.
18:05 (upbeat music)
