00:00Looking back now, I always feel very grateful for every person who gave me a hand,
00:05who lifted me up a bit, even though it's a bit.
00:08So he is definitely one person that is really,
00:11tolong.
00:11Right.
00:12Tanpa dia, Cap City will not be wujud.
00:21Hello, we are back with another special episode of Motif Trending,
00:24in which in the first episode, we will interview them
00:28and join us today in the studio.
00:31We have Abang Payong, Mr Nigel Sparks.
00:34Juga merupakan pemenang digital creator beauty and fashion tergempak di GMWA recently.
00:40And macam biasa, setiap kali Ramadan,
00:42Nigel akan mencuri tumpuan dengan konten air,
00:47berbuka puasa dia.
00:49Please welcome to the studio, Mr Nigel Sparks.
00:51Thank you guys.
00:53Thank you for having me.
00:55This is like last week we did.
00:58You know, it's been a year.
01:05What's up, bruv?
01:06Okay, I want to ask you,
01:07how do you feel after your big win the other day
01:10for Gempak Most Wanted Awards 2025?
01:14Very grateful.
01:15You know, watching back the clip is like,
01:17it feels like a dream.
01:18You know what I mean?
01:19Like you only see it on TV,
01:20but then now I'm looking at myself,
01:22doing the walk,
01:23going up to take the award,
01:26it's still sangat-sangat like...
01:27Surreal?
01:28Surreal.
01:29It's very surreal, yeah.
01:30I can imagine.
01:31What was the first thing you ate after the event?
01:36Ah, nasi lemak.
01:38Nice.
01:38That was a celebration meal?
01:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:40I brought the fans along and the team
01:42to go makan and celebrate.
01:44So we went back quite late.
01:45Six, six, six.
01:49Yeah, yeah.
02:04So how long was your celebration for?
02:06Was it like a week long?
02:08Actually, no, no, actually not as long
02:09because it was Chinese New Year already.
02:12So I think maybe...
02:14I don't define celebration.
02:17I brought the award back to the store.
02:20Yeah.
02:20Then the boys celebrated.
02:22Yeah.
02:22And then now the trophy is in the store.
02:25Yeah.
02:26For display.
02:27And I guess that's about it.
02:39You are one of the content creators that also
02:42buat content untuk berbuka puasa
02:44and also doing puasa as well.
02:47When did you get this idea
02:49for yourself personally to berpuasa?
02:52You know, as Nigel.
02:55I think...
02:56So this is my fifth year.
02:57So if we backtrack, it will be 2021 lah.
03:00That's the first time you backtrack berpuasa.
03:01Yes, yes, yes.
03:02What made you...
03:03Apa yang buatkan Nigel nak start berpuasa in 2021?
03:08I think it was very straightforward.
03:10I've been asked this many, many times, right?
03:13Kenapa Nigel puasa?
03:14Actually, you tak payah pun puasa.
03:16Yeah.
03:16Adakah sebab content?
03:18Adakah sebab nak tarik views?
03:19Adakah sebab nak beli jiwa?
03:21Nak beli hati?
03:23Valid questions.
03:24All valid questions.
03:24Very valid.
03:26But...
03:27But you see these questions normally come from people
03:29who don't really know me lah.
03:30Okay.
03:31Which is fair.
03:32People who know me will know that
03:33you know, 90% of my surroundings,
03:35my staff, my team, are Muslim.
03:38And they obviously practice fasting.
03:41So for me, it was such a natural thing, you know?
03:45I think I answered in one of the interviews with Estro before,
03:48like, who am I going to ask to go makan with?
03:52Eating alone, you know, happiness needs to be shared.
03:57So I feel like, it's only natural.
04:00It's the only right thing to do.
04:02That's really good, man. That's really good.
04:05It's the only right thing to do.
04:07That is really good.
04:08That's really good.
04:09It's the only right thing to do.
04:09It's the only right thing to do.
04:10Ah!
04:17Awesome, awesome.
04:19I want to ask you about idea,
04:21resepi IAU actually.
04:23How did you get the idea of this?
04:24Or like,
04:25how did this whole thing started anyway?
04:27Okay.
04:27So, this whole ketuk major thing was
04:29an accident.
04:31Okay.
04:31So we were vlogging
04:34my my journey right of fasting and i think it was two or three years ago
04:41the first day of buku puasa i drank i drank air kelapa okay right i just came back from the
04:48gym
04:48i'm very thirsty i'm very hungry and i finally took a sip
04:54i was so lega and then i ketuk meja okay and then that was just one clip out of the
05:01whole day
05:02but i saw that clip and i felt so happy watching that clip that i said hey you know what
05:09let me just
05:09clip this part and post it on tiktok yeah and the next thing you know everyone started commenting
05:15like oh my god i feel you i feel you and uh what are you opening uh buku puasa apa
05:20esok
05:20then i'm like hey and the views went crazy okay then we were like okay let's just do the second
05:26day since we're gonna buku puasa anyway and then that became i guess you can call it a series
05:34a series a series and then every year people second after that year orang tanya lagi oh
05:39tahun ni nai je ke tok me je ke then it's like okay let's let's just have fun and do
05:44it for
05:44for our fans as well so most of the recipes are done by my uh my manager okay uh shout
05:51out to ilin
05:51cece uh for helping me out because i'm never a foodie let's be very honest i'm not a foodie
05:59i'm not uh some people ask me to rate the drink you know they start taking me like i'm a
06:05drink
06:06expert actually i tak pun i just buku puasa lah enjoy je and uh so cece have to come in
06:13to somewhat
06:14help me with the drinks and make it a little more interesting right right right
06:18puasa hari pertama okay first day is always the hardest and um ding wan pun join kita puasa
06:25tahun ni harap-harap kita boleh complete lah full puasa tahun ni keep working keep ourselves busy
06:31sampai pukul 6 do you remember the first time you cuba nak puasa apa perasaan tu dan apa cabaran
06:38yang paling besar masa you puasa look into fasting actually there's so many benefits and i love
06:43fasting uh water fasting per se okay this fasting is obviously very different for a different
06:49reason as well but kalau a lot of people say i cannot i tak boleh buat i i penat i
06:54lapar tapi i
06:55actually terbalik i jadi i'm sharper if you think about thousands of years ago where we have to hunt for
07:03food and they are very sharp when they're hunting for food because they are what they're hungry so i believe
07:09in that that when you're hungry you are at your most more alert more alert more sharp your survival
07:14more and i always say lepas makan kau akan rasa apa berat
07:20nak makan nasi kandar roti johan mutabak memang berat so i believe in fasting because i think that keeps me
07:29that's what they're so happy to have to have to make the right of you so i'm so happy to
07:41have to
07:41be a good day so i'll be happy to have to be happy to have to stay and have to
07:43be happy to see
07:43okay dalam pengalaman nigel yang dah bertahun-tahun puasa ni whether you eat water fasting or like complete fasting
07:53What are the tips that you can share with people in the outside?
07:59To your question, the tips is to surround yourself with people who are doing and have the same goal.
08:06That would be the easier way.
08:09You can make with your friends and make a promise and say,
08:11Hey, this year, we're going to try.
08:14We're going to do it together.
08:17Do a little penalty so that it's fun.
08:20I do that a lot with my team, whether it's gym or runs or small targets.
08:27I think you have a team going together a bit easier.
08:30Get a friend, get a partner.
08:32That's really good.
08:33Get a girlfriend.
08:36Get a girlfriend, Nigel.
08:37Okay, just kidding.
08:39Get a girlfriend.
08:40Oh boy.
08:41Okay.
08:41We already know that the Chinese New Year is coming.
08:44Yes.
08:44Because it's Ramadan.
08:45Yes.
08:46Yes.
08:46Yes.
08:46Yes.
08:47Yes.
08:47Yes.
08:50Yes.
08:56Yes.
08:56No, I'm trying...
08:59Tell me to have a connection to one.
08:59No, you're lying.
09:00No fault of anyone isn't trying to deal with anybody, calling your Theiner is.
09:04Yes.
09:04No good.
09:08No, we are not, that doesn't want you to go to the living world, but once I can actually see
09:21it,
09:21cannot accept the fact that,
09:22if you're always attached with someone,
09:24you're always following what that person like.
09:27You're always trying to please that person.
09:29So in the end, you really don't know what you want.
09:33And maybe down the road, as you grow up,
09:35then you are going to be like,
09:36oh, maybe he or she is not the one.
09:38I don't want to make this so serious,
09:40but there are a lot of people who are not happy
09:42in a relationship with God.
09:43And I don't want to be in that situation
09:45because I've been in that situation.
09:48So now that I'm out of that situation,
09:50I would like to keep it like that for a while
09:53until I feel okay.
09:57Again, I could be wrong,
09:58but until the time comes, I will know.
10:00Fair enough, bro.
10:01I think I will know.
10:02Fair enough.
10:02I agree, man. 100%.
10:04100%.
10:05You can do it.
10:06You can do it.
10:06I'll tell you what you can do if you buy it.
10:09You can do it.
10:11You can do it.
10:11Oh, yeah.
10:13Oh, yeah.
10:15Oh, yeah.
10:16Oh, yeah.
10:17Oh, yeah.
10:19Oh, yeah.
10:31Oh, yeah.
10:39Oh.
10:40So, there are a lot of netizens who saw the clip, and they are like Nigel and Christy Ng.
10:52Is there a spark going on there, or something that we don't know about?
10:56I also don't know, bro, to be honest.
10:59Until I saw the clip, and then until I saw the comments,
11:05I mean, it was a natural thing for me to do.
11:08A lady wants to come down from the stage, she was in high heels.
11:12It's only right that, you know, I'd be the gentleman, reach out my hand.
11:17But, you know, the fans will do what the fans need to do.
11:21They're doing their work, they're doing their work, they're doing their work, they're doing their work, they're doing their work,
11:26they're doing their work, they're doing their work, they're doing their work.
11:29But it was a natural thing for me to do.
11:32But Christy, I've known her for not too long.
11:37I mean, I know about her, but I think I got to know her in 2024.
11:44I met her once or twice, until the award show.
11:48Okay, so there's nothing prior to that?
11:50Nothing prior to that, no.
12:05Okay.
12:05But, you're talking to me too.
12:06He gave me a chance.
12:08He gave me a chance.
12:10Aww.
12:14How can you get to meet up with Kenneth again?
12:18You know, because you said it was 10 years since you haven't seen him, right?
12:23To be honest, time too, you know, she asked me, how important was Kenneth to you?
12:27To be honest, I felt, I felt, I felt, I feel like, oh my God, you know, this person is
12:44already put into the back burner.
12:46Right.
12:46Like, it's at the back of my head.
12:48I tak fikir sangat.
12:49So, when she brought it back out, I felt very bad.
12:51That I didn't, yeah, that is a very important person in my life.
12:56You know?
12:58So, I think right after the interview, a day later, I texted Kenneth already.
13:03Okay.
13:03I said, hey brother, how are you?
13:04I just wanted to know, want you to know, you know, your name was brought up during the interview.
13:10She took a break.
13:11When my manager goes to break, then I feel like, oh, I can go to, I can get a break
13:14too.
13:14So, I thought, because my car in Hong Kong sebelah je.
13:17So, I said, okay, why don't I go to Hong Kong and take a break for myself?
13:20Yup.
13:21And at the same time, let me just go meet him and say thank you face to face.
13:27Right.
13:27Because I think if you look back into the interview, Cipuan Sarima tanya,
13:31if today Kenneth was here, what would you say to him?
13:35So, although I dah tanya through text, tapi I rasa macam, okay, actually, boleh je.
13:40Hong Kong is not too far, four and a half hours.
13:43Pergilah.
13:44Take a break at the same time, meet him.
13:46Yeah.
13:46And like, have a, I won't say closure, but you know, for myself.
13:51It's a closure for myself.
13:52To complete that circle for you.
13:55Yeah.
13:56Yeah.
13:57So, time to I sampai Hong Kong, I text dia, I said, hey Kenneth, you free ke?
14:03Oh, I baru je landed.
14:04That was the only night he was free.
14:08And so, we met up.
14:10And kepada penonton-penonton yang tengah tengok ni, mungkin korang rasa tak tahu siapa Kenneth.
14:14Kenneth ni, dia orang yang I, how do I call this, principle, dia saya punya in life.
14:22Because he was working for this international brand.
14:26Okay.
14:26So, I bawa international brand dulu.
14:28Sebelum Cap City ni, jadi brand, headwear yang brand sendiri.
14:32Okay.
14:32Sebelum ni, like when I started Cap City ni sebenarnya, satu kedai yang bawa brand international.
14:38Okay.
14:38And dia kerja untuk international brand ni.
14:41Okay.
14:41And I flew all the way to Hong Kong to jumpa dia untuk nak bawa brand ni.
14:46Masuk Malaysia.
14:47Masuk Malaysia.
14:48And time tu, dia bagi saya satu chance.
14:51I buat business with, but we built a relationship.
14:54Right.
14:55During our time.
14:56Right.
14:56And he shared banyak-banyak sangat ilmu.
14:58Banyak-banyak values about how to build a brand.
15:07I know. Can I give you that big moment, right?
15:10I know.
15:11But hey, you know, we've all got somebody who helped us to spark.
15:14He, he believed in our vision.
15:17What would you say to him?
15:20It was a, I don't know.
15:22I would say thank you, you know.
15:27Looking back now, I always feel very grateful for every person who gave me a hand.
15:32Who lifted me up a bit.
15:34Even though it's a bit.
15:35So that the next person can lift me up again.
15:38Right.
15:38So he is definitely one person yang betul-betul tolong lah.
15:42Right.
15:42Tanpa dia, Cap City tak akan wujud lah.
15:45Sebab kalau dia dah reject brand tu.
15:48Ataupun proposal kita.
15:50Then mungkin Cap City akan jadi lain dah.
15:52Yeah.
15:53Nigel boleh kongsi satu pengajaran dari Kenneth.
15:58What is one key lesson that you have learnt from him that you can share with us today?
16:08Growing or scaling may not always be a good thing.
16:13He and I, we always share and understand that sometimes, some things are not meant to scale.
16:21Maksudnya, mungkin, okay.
16:24You betul-betul passion buat nasi lemak.
16:27You mungkin dah banyak rezeki.
16:30Mungkin dah ada queue panjang.
16:32You know, some businessmen would come in like, oh you need to scale this.
16:35Buat restoran, buat ni, buat dia ni, chain store macam.
16:37Betul.
16:38Buka outlet sana, buka outlet sini.
16:39Buka outlet sini, buka sana.
16:40Some things are not meant to scale.
16:43Mungkin, not to say that's your limit.
16:46Right.
16:46I pun tak nak like limit anyone but it's for you to consider lah.
16:50And he told me like at that time when we were to, when I was carrying brand yang dia tengah
16:55kerja tu, tempat tu.
16:57He told me some things are just not meant to scale.
16:59Because you feel like that's the only way to do.
17:01Oh, queue dah panjang, scale lah.
17:03But, later do you know when you're scale, maybe there's so many more things.
17:07Management, hiring, HR, accounting, retail.
17:12It's a lot.
17:13Yeah, yeah.
17:14Sebab dulu, I buka satu kedai, sampai empat kedai.
17:17Dalam masa empat tahun, sangat laju.
17:20Yup.
17:20And then, I jatuh.
17:22I tutup tiga kedai, tinggal satu je.
17:24So, I kind of have experienced the night tu, masa night tu.
17:29Like, I try to prolong, think long term.
17:31Right, right.
17:32Yeah, I think that's the, that's also the one of the answer lah.
17:36So, but, a lot of opportunities comes can be, you know, short term.
17:42Yeah.
17:42But, I also believe that if you continue to do what you need to do, and do it honestly,
17:48you will still grow, just not as fast.
17:51I don't want to be fast.
17:55Ah, I hate moving office.
18:02So, today is the last day of business for Mid Valley, Cap City.
18:10Even you face this challenge, right?
18:11What is that thing that holds you, that keeps you grounded?
18:15I think my team and my fans are, and also my past.
18:21Also my past, I feel like my, masa I jatuh too, I learn too much.
18:25I learn more when I, masa I jatuh than I learn when I'm on top.
18:29Faham?
18:30I think it's very cliche, but it's very true.
18:33I always believe that Tuhan, bagi I banyak peluang untuk naik balik,
18:40bukan untuk saya enjoy sahaja.
18:42Like, I believe that God took me out of where I was, for a bigger purpose.
18:48I really believe so.
18:50And that's why, bila I kata I nak payung satu negara tu, termasuk Brunei dengan Singapura,
18:55orang cakap aku gila.
18:57Kau nak pergi polis ke bro? Gila.
19:00Polis ada 8 orang je, dia cakap.
19:02You know what I mean?
19:03There's a joke about police having 8 people.
19:05Yep, yep.
19:06Kau nak pergi, you know, the smaller states, for what?
19:10And I said, I want to find out.
19:13Because there are, I know, I remember there are customers there who bought our stuffs before.
19:17Right.
19:17So, to your question, what grounds me,
19:20what I grounded is, I always try to think that, okay, why did God help me?
19:29I don't think he helped me so that I can goyang kaki,
19:33bawa kereta mewah, makan besar,
19:36dapat deal banyak-banyak.
19:38Tak, aku rasa tak.
19:40I rasa there must be a deeper purpose to it.
19:43Right.
19:44And I'm still finding.
19:46You know, last year I had bought payung tour tu, I had, you know,
19:48pergi satu Malaysia.
19:51This year, I'm seeking for that next thing again.
19:53Like, okay, what else, God?
19:55What else do you want me to do?
19:56I think, when you start thinking of others, making others happy, it gives you the drive.
20:01But when you start thinking about what do I do to make myself happy,
20:04sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
20:06Hmm, I realized.
20:07This is it!
20:08This is it!
20:09This is it!
20:10This is it!
20:11Wah, bawang ramai gila!
20:13Oh my God!
20:15We go outside, we go outside, we go outside.
20:18Oh my God, this is crazy, bro!
20:23Go, go, go, go!
20:24Okay, are you ready for this rapid fire?
20:26Okay.
20:27Santai-santai question.
20:28You can answer or describe it in one word, okay?
20:33Okay.
20:34Simple je.
20:35We will start with your favourite meal.
20:41Nasi lemak.
20:43Gepuk.
20:45Ini makes me more anxiety, eh.
20:48Then I buat air lagi.
20:49Rapid fire ni.
20:50Okay, okay, okay.
20:50Ah, favourite food.
20:51Favourite, favourite food.
20:53Chakuy Tiao.
20:54These guys are like, my team is like,
20:55no, you like that, no, you like that.
20:57No, no, okay.
20:58I know this is supposed to be a rapid fire thing,
21:00but that's why I say I wasn't a foodie.
21:02I'm a very simple guy.
21:03I'm a very simple guy.
21:04I'm a very simple guy.
