YANG dinanti-nanti setiap cuti sekolah muncul sekali lagi.
Kem Obor yang diadakan buat kali keenam akan bersemarak di Downtown East, mulai hari ini.
Ia merupakan satu ‘penghijrahan’ yang amat kami alu-alukan setelah lima kali mengendalikannya di bawah bumbung yang sama di News Centre, sejak Jun 2006.
Kem tiga hari dengan tema Project Runway@Downtown East, kali ini mengetengahkan lebih 250 peserta daripada sekolah-sekolah menengah yang menyertai Kelab Obor.
Mereka akan diajar teknik mewawancara, menulis berita dan rencana, merakam foto, membuat hiasan halaman dan mencatatnya dalam bentuk blog.
Berdasarkan tema peragawan dan peragawati serta catwalk, setiap kumpulan empat pelajar perlu menarik minat barisan pengadil dengan tulisan serta reka hias yang lain daripada lain.
Siapakah yang akan mengikut jejak Sekolah Perempuan Tanjong Katong, Sekolah Menengah Perempuan Cedar, Sekolah Perempuan Raffles dan Sekolah Perempuan Methodist untuk merebut gelaran juara dalam peraduan sepanjang tiga hari ini?
Nantikan saja laporan kami minggu depan.
Sementara itu, ikuti kata-kata tiga peserta yang ghairah menghadiri kem kali ini.
PERLU DEDAH TUBUH DALAM DUNIA MODELLING?
Sebut tentang kerjaya modelling, Muhammad Syahdirwan Jumari, 14 tahun, pelajar Sekolah Menengah Fuchun, pantas menyatakan:
‘Kalau dah namanya model, mereka mesti lawa-lawa belaka ya?’
Pelajar menengah tiga aliran Normal (Akademik), yang sebelum ini pernah menyertai Kem Obor hanya sebagai sukarelawan, berkata:
‘Saya tahu kem ini adalah kem mengasah bakat penulisan dan merakam foto. Jadi, apabila Cikgu ingin mencalonkan saya, saya nak juga belajar cara-cara menulis rencana.
‘Kalau boleh, memang saya nak interviu Idola Asia, Hady Mirza. Dan, harapan saya pada masa akan datang agar Kem Obor dapat dilakukan dengan peserta tidur di lokasi kem. Lebih seronok kan?’
Apabila diminta memberi pandangannya tentang fesyen remaja, pelajar bertubuh kecil dan suka berjenaka ini, berkata:
‘Remaja sekarang ni… kebanyakannya suka sangat pakai pakaian terdedah.’
Namun, soalannya, adakah untuk menjadi seorang model perlu mendedah tubuhnya dengan pakaian-pakaian yang seksi-seksi belaka?
Hhmmm… soalan itu perlu diajukan kepada dua tetamu undangan Kem Obor esok. Masing-masing memang tidak asing lagi dalam bidang modelling.
Tapi, terfikir juga apa rancangan Muhammad Syahdirwan kalau diberi peluang menulis rencananya sendiri.
‘Kalau saya ada kebebasan berbuat demikian, saya akan hasilkan rencana tentang cita-cita penting dalam hidup remaja,’ ujarnya.
BERMINAT HASILKAN KISAH SERAM DI SEKOLAH
Maisarah Yasmin Azman, 12 tahun, pelajar menengah satu Sekolah Menengah Springfield tidak menetapkan sebarang jangkaan untuk Kem Obor.
‘Memandangkan ini adalah kali pertama saya menyertai kem ini, saya tidak banyak mengetahui tentang apa yang akan diajar kecuali saya diberitahu ia adalah kem mengasah bakat seorang wartawan muda,’ katanya.
Baginya, selain meningkatkan keyakinan diri, kem ini juga baik untuknya mengenali ramai teman lain.
‘Saya ghairah ingin pelajari teknik menyusun soalan-soalan saya dan mengajukannya kepada selebriti atau tetamu undangan kem ini.
‘Walaupun saya nak sangat temui Hady Mirza dan mewawancaranya, saya kira sebarang selebriti pun akan membawa inspirasi bagi kami,’ katanya lagi.
Menyentuh tentang fesyen pakaian remaja masa kini, dirinya terasa segan melihat sesetengah remaja yang gemar mengenakan pakaian menjolok mata.
‘Dahlah skirt mereka pendek, tights mereka terlalu ketat dan baju mereka pula pendek-pendek belaka sehingga menunjukkan pusat dan perut mereka. Ini belum masuk bahagian dada mereka pula. Isy…isy…isy…’ jelasnya terus terang.
Namun, apa yang kami dapati menarik ialah hasrat Maisarah untuk menghasilkan kompilasi rencana tentang kisah-kisah seram yang berlaku di sekolah-sekolah serata Singapura.
Kalau ada rencana sedemikian, gerenti hit!
MANA TAHU ADA PELUANG JADI WARTAWAN
Muhammad Norhaziq Mohamed Hazeman, 15 tahun, pelajar Sekolah Menengah St Andrew’s, pernah menyertai kem kecil-kecilan untuk kelompok sekolahnya pada cuti sekolah Jun lalu.
Kali ini, dia lebih ghairah kerana dapat menyertai ratusan pelajar lain untuk sama-sama mewawancara dan merakam foto-foto selebriti.
‘Saya tahu ia adalah kem yang amat menarik kerana banyak perkara yang dapat kami pelajari melaluinya. Saya teringin benar menyertai kem ini kerana ingin mendapatkan kemahiran baru. Mana tahu, apabila dewasa kelak saya berkesempatan menjadi seorang wartawan?’ katanya.
Apabila diberitahu bahawa tema kali ini ialah dunia fesyen dan modeling, Muhammad Norhaziq berpendapat ia adalah seni yang membolehkan seseorang itu menggayakan dirinya untuk dirakam fotonya.
‘Bidang ini juga boleh mencerminkan proses membina jenama atau ‘iklan bergerak’ kerana setiap apa yang dipakai model itu kelak boleh menjadi fesyen terkini yang akan dicontohi orang lain khususnya remaja yang ‘kaki fesyen’,’ katanya yang meminati penulisan rencana sukan.
Apa yang ingin dilihat untuk Kem Obor akan datang?
‘Lebih ramai selebriti,’ katanya.

Don’t Forget Your Lyrics
SINGAPORE : Half a million dollars - that’s how much a forgotten lyric might cost you if you are a contestant on new Channel 5 game show, “Don’t Forget the Lyrics”.
Hosted by local celebrity, Gurmit Singh, contestants are required to sing out - karaoke style - the words to fill in the blanks in the song. And if you can keep singing it right for 10 songs, you’ll walk away with S$500,000!
Easy peasy you say? Well, not quite.
“These people who come along thinking they know the song and when the music stops, the lyrics go away, they get stumped!” Gurmit said.
“My theory is this, when people see blanks, dashes, their minds go blank as well.”
Each game consists of three tiers which are divided into nine levels. The difficulty of the challenge increases with each tier and the tiers dictate how many blank lyrics contestants have to remember and sing within a stipulated time.
Contestants have to get every exact lyric correct to pass the stage, and like “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”, they can get help if they wish to.
Each contestant is entitled to three lifelines also known as “backups” that they can use when they are stuck at any point of the competition. But each backup can only be used once.
“Backup Singer” allows the contestant to bring a friend or family member on stage to help sing the missing lyrics.
If contestants opt for “Two Words”, they can choose any two words they have filled in to check if they are right.
The last, “3 Lines”, allows contestants to pick the correct answer from three multiple choice options.
“Every time you answer correctly, you keep going up (the different levels), higher and higher. But every time you lock in the words and they are wrong, any single word, any single punctuation is wrong, you go to either zero or S$10,000 threshold level,” Gurmit explained.
The game show also features celebrity contestants like MediaCorp actresses Fiona Xie and Jade Seah, characters from Channel 5 sitcoms such as Phua Chu Kang (Gurmit Singh), Sergeant Dollah (Suhaimi Yusof), Adrianna Wow and Barbarella Chanel (both played by Michelle Chong) and even “Singapore Idol” winners Taufik Batisah and Hady Mirza, as well as runner-up Jonathan Leong.
But the one to look out for is actress Andrea Fonseka who is “really good”. “She knows many songs, she’s like a walking encyclopedia,” said Gurmit.
“Don’t Forget the Lyrics” premiered last year in the United States, and Singapore is the 30th country in the world to showcase the popular game show. It premieres Thursday, 27 November, at 8pm on MediaCorp’s Channel 5.

WORD HAS IT: Joe Flizzow’s Dreaming Of Rihanna
Will Rihanna make Joe Flizzow’s dream come true?
RAPPER-composer-producer Joe Flizzow of Too Phat has every reason to rejoice.
Joe Flizzow is working out a deal for a dream collaboration with Grammy-winner Rihanna in his latest album.
Riz of AF6 is banking on his duet with Nor Alyah to make it big in the local music industry.
Not only has he enlisted a slew of well-known local and international acts for his latest solo album President, the enterprising man is also considering featuring Grammy winner Rihanna in it.
When contacted, Joe let out a hearty laugh, saying that he’s in the midst of working out the deal.
“It has been my dream to work with Rihanna. A duet featuring Rihanna will be the icing on the cake for the album,” said Flizzow, the founding member of the multiple award-winning rap duo, Too Phat.
If everything goes as planned, it’ll cost him a whopping RM500,000.
“It’s still too early to discuss the prospect of working with her. I want to focus on the album first,” he added.
Produced by Kartel Records, President celebrates hip-hop music in diverse forms.
For starters, the self-produced album offers easy-listening sounds that fuse rap, R&B, pop and hip-hop accompanied by witty lyrics.
Joe is also collaborating with American rapper KRS-One, who contributed an upbeat hip-hop tune, Get It Done.
“I’m pretty excited about working with KRS-One who is a prominent figure in the American hip-hop landscape. For purists, it’s a bonus to have him in the album,” said Joe, adding that plans are afoot to shoot the Get It Done music video in the United States soon.
President also sees him collaborating with local rock legend Amy Search, and Asian Idol and former Singapore Idol Hady Mirza.
“Hady is a good friend and we recorded the song Mengapa Harus Kita Bercinta (Complicated) just after he won the Singapore Idol not too long ago,” said Joe.
The song featuring Amy, who just turned 50 recently, is a “knockout” according to Flizzow. “It’s an honour to work with Amy. I can’t say much about the track yet but I’m sure it’s going to be a hit,” he said.
The album’s first single Do It, Duit will hit the shelves at end of the week.
Joe is arguably one of the most influential and enterprising rappers in the local music scene.
A self-professed perfectionist, he is currently working closely with a group of fans and close friends to ensure the success of President.
“These people are my worst critics and they will be the first to preview the album before its release. I am aiming for it to be a few notches higher than my previous effort,” said Joe, who is representing the country in the Asian Hip Hop Festival in Bangkok on Oct 11.
n RIZ, the silky-voiced Perak-born lad of reality talent series Akademi Fantasia 6, is having singing offers pouring in for him after emerging first runner-up in the competition.
The most recent project involves him singing a duet with EMI artiste and former rapper outfit Fabulous Cats’ Nor Alyah in Kupinjam Satu Bintang.
The upbeat pop tune was composed by award-winning singer Ajai and written by Slenn, the editor-in-chief of entertainment portal murai.com.my.
The song was recorded at Wake the Baby studio three weeks ago.
Apparently, Riz and Nor have just returned from Jakarta after shooting the video. It was directed by Ajai with the help of an Indonesian renowned filmmaker.
RUMOUR has it that versatile superstar Anita Sarawak and her husband Mahathir are thinking of investing in property in Italy.
