A Song Without a Name PART 1
Have I ever told you this.
After a probation period of a few months in 2003, we, the team members, finished our first task with ease
In 2004, we were the employee of the month, with countless top results, but we couldn't feel content with just that
We were unable to contain ourselves and we started wanting more.
2005, we embarked into the overseas market, we thought everything would go smoothly like it had in Korea.
On our first attempt, we had the worst results possible and that was when my confidence started to drop.
A language we couldn't even speak
Every day we'd be at our lodgings or the office
An imprisonment that they claimed wasn't an imprisonment, saying it was for our own good
An excessive amount of solitude, tears and rage
These were what made us one
Saying that we couldn't part ways no matter what happened
Saying that we should always be together
Saying that we should resemble each other's good points
We said these things in our hearts and kept running
One day, we finally reached that top position we had so earnestly wanted
We each took our phones and contacted our families and friends.
That day had finally arrived.
From then on, everything started to go so well.
Records selling hundreds of thousands, winning every award out there and harvesting the fruits of our labor.
It felt like even when we cried, those tears dropped softly
The reason we were happier than any joy or sorrow
We, who never gave up and ran till the end
The reason we were stronger than anything else, was because we were one
You have already changed. (I can't stay in that spot forever)
I'll be the first to turn my back on you. (I can't be shedding tears forever)
I'll call out your name, though you keep going so far away (Fly me high into that sky)
We had been running for quite some time.
When we were surrounded by an unexpected, big wall
And the thought, 'Has it always been this dark' stayed in my head for a long time.
Once, this happened.
With the ever growing business expenses, and the increasing debts
The situation became something I could no longer handle on my own
Our CEO had once said these words to us
Tell me whenever you need something. Because we will always be family to each other.
Tell me whenever you need something.
Remembering those words, I took the courage to call him and ask him a favor.
Though I had this strange feeling inside of me, he was the only person I could rely on back then.
Because we were a family who would stay together forever.
Though I built up the courage to ask him a favor, all I received was a cold refusal.
His words made me so mad, but I contained myself and asked him once more to help me out.
He hung up on me.
I couldn't stop the tears streaming down my face.
I couldn't think straight because he wasn't the family I had always believed he was till then.
When he needed us, we were family to him. When we needed him, we were strangers.
More amazing things happened as more time passed.
Hearing that we had finally struck gold overseas and brought in results so unimaginably astronomical,
I walked into the office with a spring in my step to receive my pay.
Our team members were looking at each other with excited gazes.
We complimented each other on how hard we had worked.
But the statement of accounts we received said we were at a deficit
I thought I had seen the figures wrong so I checked again
Everything was listed under expenses
Damn it, how could all that money have gone towards paying expenses.
What kind of expenses were there to make that much money vanish?
I couldn't believe my eyes so I asked them to show me the detailed statement of accounts that I had never seen before.
They told me they would show it to me, but I ended up never seeing those few sheets of paper as all I did was work.
The amount of questions I had grew the more time passed.
The headaches grew the more our team members got together and thought about it.
If I was to say just one last thing
Are the things we do for the company
Really and truly things that are for the company?
Sure, let's say they were. We, the kind souls, will let that one slide.
We will forget it, for the company, and for us, who have been together for so many years.
But that isn't right, those aren't things you should be saying to us.
Were you seriously planning on disappointing us till the very end?
When you called, all you did was talk about our team members behind each other's back, it was so hard to trust you.
This is exactly like what our seniors said. Did you want to keep the ones who'd still willingly make money for you?
A senior told me that the family the company always talked about, would make it hard for us to survive if we left the company
Those words refuse to leave my mind
Though I have so much more to say,
I can't because I feel so frustrated at the thought that someone will torment us more when this song is released.
Anyway, though life is hard, we are working hard and doing well.
We are trying to really smile though we continue to be tormented by someone.
This effort of ours is not the effort of a mere product.
It is the effort that is driven by the thought
That we want to die with no regrets when we leave this earth.
-Commentary by Yoochun-
Yes, in the end, it's JYJ.
Yesterday and tomorrow, though I've thought about it all day long
I can truly feel the difference between then and now at 25, my age
I will now put this pen down.
But my heart it at ease right now.
Because I am able to feel the love of our fans......
I'm thinking of sharing the load I have kept in my heart all this time.
Though nothing is ever easy, my heart is at ease.
I'm happy because we have our fans for our family,
I'm always thinking of you all......
I love you.
So could you believe in us till the end.
Could you tell us that you love us.
We'll work hard till forever, so could you stay by our side.
Because we still have you
And you still have us
I promise, that I'll show you everything eventually.
Yes, we are JYJ.
"You have raised the palace walls and firmly closed the door
They say that love is not imprisonment
Love is letting go to fly freely
But I don't even expect that much
For we, who you made, are not even worth half of half of half of that.
We are nothing but eternal frogs living in a well."
(Excerpt from the musical 'Mozart!')
Though I still have so much to say
I will end it here.

Finally, It's My Time Now.
I've been thinking for a while now and finally I decided to leave.. today. Thank you for all the helps and loves <3
I really love this song and IU's voice so much! This one is random, but I'm so addicted to this song after listening to it in Dream High. I guess the drama is getting into me. I love how the plot twist along with the characters. Hye Mi isn't so bad after all and Taec's getting better after a few episodes! Looking forward for the next episode! (:

I Don't Know Anymore
Some people are weird and ignorant. If you don't have anything nice to say about others, especially when you post it where everyone can read it, why don't you just keep your mouth shut? Maybe you feel better after saying it out loud, but how about the people that you hurt unintentionally after reading your comment? It's not going to make you look cool, in fact, if it's not a lot, at least a bit it's ruining your own image. It takes me a while to like you. Yes, a while and it's not like I like you so much now compared to some other people which belongs to the same category as you. I know that it's your personality to say anything that comes into your mind, BUT when I say I like you, it doesn't mean that I like everything about you. When you said those words, honestly, I don't see you like I used to picture you anymore. I feel a little disappointed with you. Yes, it's your right to say whatever you feel like. But, it's not your right to say something hurtful about the people that I love. People are right when they said that you're lousy. It's my fault for being indenial.
I believe in those people that I love more because I believe I know them. Your words won't change my view on them. But, I seriously feel so frustrated when those dissing words comes from you. Aren't they the one that took care of you when you're still newbie? Aren't they the one that teach you things during your newbie days? At least have some respect to people that taught you something about life. Learn some common sense before you learn on how to diss people around you. Thank you.

My Girl
"Kak Ain! Fifi dah masuk tadika. Fifi dah ada baju sekolah, baju sukan, kasut sukan."
"Fifi dah dapat ramai kawan dah!"
"Bila Kak Ain nak datang tengok Fifi dekat sekolah."
This is the cutest thing that I have ever heard today. When I heard that, I feel like I am so happy as if she is my own daughter. Maybe this is the happiness that a mother feels like seeing her little baby grown up happily. My 5 year old little girl, I mean my little cousin is attending kindergarten this year and she is so excited and happy about it. Her high pitch voice already describing everything and even when I'm not by her side at the moment, I can tell that she's enjoying her first school experience. I so know that she's not going to cry on her first day and yes, she's the type that is not afraid of almost anything, at all!
I really love this girl as I always keep myself up-to-date with her grown up activities since she was born when I was in ASASI. 18 years of difference in age doesn't make us feel awkward, but we're like friends of the same age. LOL. Okay, I know. A bit exaggerating.
I wish I can send her to school by myself when I have my break later on!
My Little Girl
Yes, she got attitude. Lol.

Hello. Hello.
Hello 2011.
One day late, I know. Its just that I have no internet during the first day of new year. So, here I am. 4 hours and 21 minutes before the second day ends.
May 2011 brings more happiness and less sadness to everyone. Why less? Ye la. Mana de orang yang hidup gembira je tak ada sadness kan. Sebab tu mintak less.
This is so random, but Kak Bae'yah and Abg Git is going to have their second baby this year. I'm so happy for them. Kak Bae'yah (is my kakak sepupu ipar) sangat cool and sengal, and Kak Bae'yah dah tau siapa JYJ! Thanks to KBS sebab bagi JYJ keluar tv live buat pertama kalinya lepas lawsuit. Back to the story, Irdina yang tembam lagi comel is going to have her partner in crime soon! So, pasni Irdina dah tak boleh malas-malas nak belajar jalan lagi. Go lari-lari, Irdina! Gi main sorok-sorok dengan mama and papa. Tapi if Irdina nak belajar berjalan sama-sama dengan adik nanti boleh jugak. Haha.
One more thing, saya jadi flower girl semalam. Haha. Tapi hari ni sungguh rasa nak demam. Jangkit Ayum semalam kut? Selamat pengantin baru to Abg Hafiz dan Kak Nani, and Kak Dia and Abg Achong! Moga kekal dan bahagia sampai akhir hayat. I'm so happy for you both! <333
I love how 2011 starts. Moga dipermudahkan segala urusan untuk tahun 2011 ni.
