MC: TOP, what were you like when you were a student?

TOP: When I was a student, I was….a boy!
Everyone:……..
MC: How was your student experience?
TOP: I never learned anything.

4. GD: The first time I met with President Yang was when my mom took me there. When my mom got out the room for awhile President Yang said, “ When your mom comes back just cry. Do whatever it takes to get your mom sign the contract, you understand?”……..

5. MC asked what TOP and GD think of President Yang.

TOP: Because he looked after us very well, it feels like we are kids. (pretty normal)

GD: Not too long ago when we were shopping, the ones with the memebership go to one side, and only I went to the other side. However, Seungri looked around for awhile, he was still following me. I was surprised and shouted, ” DON’T COME OVER!!
TOP: I saw that, the whole time GD was shouting, “DON’T FOLLOW ME!!” Then Seungri just…(imitates Seungri’s eye roll)
GD: Because Seungri loves himself every much, so what was said didn’t go through him. When he walked over to me Seungri said, ” What a nice place to go to hyung.”

OMG... im in korea now! Seoul oh seoul...

I've been here for 2 weeks. I felt very bored...

Gw dateng k korea utk ikut audisi ...hmmmm...

untung si papi ingetin lwt sms klo g k seoul ini bukan untuk jalan2 tp utk audisi... gw harus kmbali k jalur yg benar.. untungnya bsok cing dateng jd g gk ksepian deh..bs bareng cing ikut audisi... Gw mohon doa dr u org biar g bs kterima salah satu dr entertainment yg g tuju... gw pngen bgt sih jd trainee di YG entertainment, tp g trima deh entertainment ap aj boleh... Soalnya g pngen bgt jd pnyanyi..ud cita2 sjak jaman batita alias pas umur 4 th ud cita2 jd pnyanyi.. Gw inget bgt tuh lagu pertama yg gw nyanyiin adalah "ibu kita kartini".... n guru musiknya bilang suara g bagus..nah mule dr sono g mw jd penyanyi....

Awalnya gw merasa yakin mw k korea jd penyanyi, tp kadang2 suka goyah iman g..cm g brusaha utk percaya n terus berusaha..krn g tw Tuhan pasti bantu g klo g berusaha n berdoa.. Gw cuma bs minta bantuan Tuhan...Apa lagi yg gw bisa selain itu? Mami mwnya g masuk susan budihardjo n jd fashion designer... Tp hati g lain, g mmg pngen jd fashion designer, tp g lebih pengen lg jd penyanyi... Sebelom g k korea g ud doa sih klo g bner2 ud smpe korea n diijinin sm bokap...g pasti harus sukses dsono..sdangkan trnyata g bru sadar klo korea t boring bgt.. Gw stuju bgt sm lagu yg liriknya "lebih baik dsini..rumah kita sendiri...Semuanya ada disini!" bner bgt g kangen sm indo... Indo t smua ada dr resto, pakaian, online shop, super market, salon n mall smuanya dimana2.. klo d korea bioskop aj dikit...trus restoran mah rata2 resto korea smua...klo di indo kn mw makanan jepang, india, korea, prancis etc komplit..di indo mallnya banyak n korea mallnya dikit...

Yah emg idup t susah y. Dulu kita pngen cpet2 gede, eh skarang stelah lulus SMA g bingung... ud mule harus mikir mw jd apa sbenernya diri gw ini. Gw dr SMA sbenernya ud mikir sih, ortu gk mungkin sllu di samping kita... bukan curhat bukan apa tp okelah klo ortu kita t ky bakrie kt bs tenang2..nah ini anak n cucu bakrie aj bukan... Jd mw gk mw kita harus mule mikir deh hidup kita tujuannya apa? jgn datar2 doank yg bikin tiap hari krjaannya bangun, mandi, makan, blablabla n tidur lg..tiap hari bgitu..sia2 ini idup..Gw gk mw hidup g sia2...Gw mw berjuang...Tapi bagaimana caranya? Gw serahkan kpd penyertaan Tuhan agar Tuhan buka jalan bwt gw...

Gw bersyukur bgt Tuhan ud ks g nyampe d korea, wlopun g musti dikira sedeng sm orang2 krn g nekat sendirian stelah lulus high school brangkat k korea... Gw tw korea negara yg berat.. Bagusnya mreka adlh org korea disiplin... saya sbg org indo mrasa mjd org malas..dsini rata2 naik subway..aduh coba klo d indo kmn2 nyetir sndiri klo gk supir. OMG..g ngerasa deh klo d rumah biasa makan tinggal makan..jalan2 mw kmn jg tinggal jalan gk perlu takut ini itu..nah d korea org rata2 kga bisa bahasa inggris..klo nyasar n gk nemu org yg bs inggirs d korea y mati kite nyasar smpe malem..

Kalo ditanya, bedanya d korea n indo... Indo enaknya d fasilitas ky mall, taxi murah, bioskop dimana2, tpt makan berlimpah dr makanan indo smpe india, bnyk pke mobil pribadi, AC tiap tidur, etc... Tapi disini jg ad lebihnya! G mrasa cowok2 korea t banyak yg mw bantu org..klo bantuin tu niat bgt! pokoknya klo kite nanya..rata2 lgsung buka GPS d hp mreka *org korea pasti bw ipad, galaxy s/ tab, iphone, etc... ada jg yg saking baiknya smpe die nganterin jalan kaki smpe k tpt tujuan..trus smpe die bantu ngomong dll.. Tetapi ad jg yg sama skali gk mw bantu hahahah..di stiap negara mah mmg ad org baik n org resenya.. sama di indo jg ky gtu..n enaknya korea adalah aman di jalan tertib lalu lintas juga!... jadi gk takut pegang2 hp di tangan, telpon d jalan..kaga ad jambret...rata2 aman terkendali..klo di indo...halo2 pke hp d jln ud dijambret...

Kadang g suka keki yah sm ortu klo mreka sms tu kdang gk ngenakin klo dibaca.. si papi sms jg aneh... g bli hp korea kn susah ngetiknya beda sm bb..ud kseringan pke bb g jd susah ngetik biasa...bukan krn itu jg sih, mungkin karena motorola emg susah pkenya...hahahhaha...dongdongdongdong... Tp krn sms papi g jd disadarkan kmbali tujuan utama g k korea itu apa? UTK AUDISI! yah utk audisi,... g harus sukses, itulang tujuan g ksini..bukan utk main2 ngabisin puluhan bahkan ratusan juta...

Gw butuh bgt dukungan doa dr orang2..krn g tw sbagai manusia g suka mrasa gk mampu, tp g tw talent g n Tuhan yg akan memampukan..Gk ad yg mustahil...gw pasti bs sukses..ud susah2 ksini g ,usti jd org hebat... biar bs g buktikan k org2 yg mremehkan cita2 g klo g tu bisa... GW HARUS DITERIMA TRAINEE DI ENTERTAINMENT! entah itu SME,YG, JYP,DSP,Loen, NH or apapun itu g ud brsyukur bgt!...AMIN! "doain ya guys! doa u org tu berarti bgt! Doa berkuasa mengubah sgala sesuatu yg dianggap gk mungkin mjd mungkin di dlm nama Tuhan Yesus, krn Tuhan yg memungkinkan itu smua..."

Oh ya g mw share ttg ada apa aj d seoul? banyak... klo barang2 ky spatu bnyk jg yg murah dsini! n bnyk bgus2..tp trgantung tpt dimana y..klo ad yg bgus tp mahal jg bnyk... nah etude,face shop etc dsini ksebar dimana2...hahaha.. masker dsini ad range harga dr 1000 won - 4000an won..tp rata2 bnyk kok yg 1000 won..n kuteks juga murah... trus dsini ad super market smacam carefour..klo di sini namanya Home Plus...letaknya d gedung World Cup... jd dsono ad smua hal dr baju, elektronik n makanan...harga foodcourtnya jg ajib murahnya loh! 1 set makan utk satu org aj t banyak bgt n range harga bs 4500won-6500 won..sdangkan yg bs bwt 2 org harga 12.000 won.. nah harga sgitu utk makanan ky gtu mah di indo mana dapet ya.wkwkwk... n di home plus itu super marketnya katanya sih ud plg murah barang2nya..ahhaah.. sushi aj murah 1 biji sushi sama rata smua harganya 350won ... trus mreka d korea bnyk jual makanan yg tinggal msuk microwave lgsung jadi. malahan ad jg yg daging ud ad di dlmnya.. nasi jg instan banyak!

Prayers go up and blessings come down.

I'm a winner see my price, you're a loser who sits and cries. -

You wouldn't be you if you were busy trying to be them. God made you this way on purpose. Stay YOUnique, be yourself!

Roses are red. Violets are blue. Faces like yours belong in the zoo. Don’t be mad, I’ll be there too. Not in the cage but laughing at you

your just jealous because i have this lovable side that everyone loves :)

Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it. -Confucius

Life is truly too short not to work where one is happiest.

No need to cry for someone who doesn't worth your tears.

Not all THIN girls are pretty, and not all FAT girls are ugly.

I'm not like every other person who writes it out, if you want me bad enough, you'll figure me out.

Real women are classy, strong, independent, loyal and loveable and one thing about them is they know they deserve better.

Friends can last and others can fade. It's your choice who you keep and which ones will leave.

Stay classy, not trashy.

Sometimes when we just got many things to say, it won't come that easy as we open our mouth.

Just keep on dreaming. Everything's possible

Sometimes there is no next time, no time outs, no second chances. Sometimes it's now or never.

Forgive? Sounds good. Forget? Not sure I could. They say time heals everything, but I’m still waiting.

NEVER say that you're not good enough for someone. Because you ARE.That person is who isnt good enough for you! Be confident in yourself.

People too weak to follow their own dreams will always find a way to discourage yours.

At the end of the day you have to live with your choices.

I don't try to be awesome. Awesome tries to be me.

Be strong like a rock, set free like a bird, imagine high like a kid, act like a mature.Why do you want to stop me now?? You

said to never give up on a dream...

I enjoy when people hate me. You're spending your time thinking about me & I don't even know who you are. (:

People talk to me like I care. BITCH, Please! Does this face look like it cares? NO!!! Let me think about it a minute ok. NO!!

RISE & SHINE!! Get up and on yer GRIND!! FUCK tha HATERS, Just tell 'em I'M GETTIN MINE!!! ♡- Benji Irving

don't point out other peoples flaws, because you're not perfect, you have to look in the mirror before you can look out the window

Do what you love, not what will make people love you. Enjoy life more, love who and how you are. Happy weekend!

Today is your time. Your dreams are all waiting to be realized. So get on your way, today is the day!

When you embrace your weirdness you'll see it's actually your genius.

Leave your fears, leave your doubts, leave them all at the feet of the Uni-verse. U don't need them where youre going.

If you really wanna win and confuse all of your enemies: "Praise God and smile through all of your troubles!"

Never let fear of rejection or the unknown stop you from going after what you want. Be brave: "Take risks and never give up!"

2 person you can never lie to: God. Yourself.

I was born special, I am special, I'll always be special. That's why I love myself much!

Some people will make your life feel like a living hell. But you got the power to overcome it, STAND and SPEAK UP.

Strong people are not born; they are made when no one is there for them to wipe their tears...

We're not perfect. Any of us. We make mistakes, we screw up but then we forgive and move foward.

Make decisions that
are aligned with your purpose rather than your fears.

GOD will make a way for me.. ☺

Don't lie about urself. God knows the truth! Others will see the truth. Be true to urself, & u won't have to worry what others think of u.

Yesterday is today's memory. Tomorrow is today's dream.

A big change starts from a small step, so let's take a small step to a big change!

You don’t need to live stressed out or worried. You can be confident today that God will take care of you.

Keep your dreams stay big and your worries stay small. -

God never fail, God never make mistakes. That's why He created me, I'm God's best creation!

Some people write, but do not speak. Some speak, but do not listen. Some listen, but do not take action.

Why do we lose? Because we've prepared to win the game in the next match.

Dear God. Please wake me up when this heartache ends.

No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness. -Aristotle

Success is a great deodorant. It takes away all your past smells. -Elizabeth Taylor

Hope - To place confidence in, with the belief that it will be obtained.

When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.

“Aku pernah datang dan aku sangat patuh”.

2011-04-07T09:08:00.001-07:00

Kisah tentang seorang gadis kecil yang cantik yang memiliki sepasang bola mata yang indah dan hati yang lugu polos. Dia adalah seorang yatim piatu dan hanya sempat hidup di dunia ini selama delapan tahun. Satu kata terakhir yang ia tinggalkan adalah saya pernah datang dan saya sangat penurut.

Anak ini rela melepasakan pengobatan, padahal sebelumnya dia telah memiliki dana pengobatan sebanyak 540.000 dolar yang didapat dari perkumpulan orang Chinese seluruh dunia. Dan membagi dana tersebut menjadi tujuh bagian, yang dibagikan kepada tujuh anak kecil yang juga sedang berjuang menghadapi kematian. Dan dia rela melepaskan pengobatannya.

Begitu lahir dia sudah tidak mengetahui siapa orang tua kandungnya. Dia hanya memiliki seorang papa yang mengadopsinya. Papanya berumur 30 tahun yang bertempat tinggal di provinsi She Cuan kecamatan Suang Liu, kota Sang Xin Zhen Yun Ya Chun Er Cu. Karena miskin, maka selama ini ia tidak menemukan pasangan hidupnya. Kalau masih harus mengadopsi anak kecil ini, mungkin tidak ada lagi orang yang mau dilamar olehnya. Pada tanggal 30 November 1996, tgl 20 bln 10 imlek, adalah saat dimana papanya menemukan anak kecil tersebut diatas hamparan rumput, disanalah papanya menemukan seorang bayi kecil yang sedang kedinginan. Pada saat menemukan anak ini, di dadanya terdapat selembar kartu kecil tertulis, 20 November jam 12.

Melihat anak kecil ini menangis dengan suara tangisannya sudah mulai melemah. Papanya berpikir kalau tidak ada orang yang memperhatikannya, maka kapan saja bayi ini bisa meninggal. Dengan berat hati papanya memeluk bayi tersebut, dengan menghela nafas dan berkata, “saya makan apa, maka kamu juga ikut apa yang saya makan”. Kemudian papanya memberikan dia nama Yu Yan.

Ini adalah kisah seorang pemuda yang belum menikah yang membesarkan seorang anak, tidak ada Asi dan juga tidak mampu membeli susu bubuk, hanya mampu memberi makan bayi tersebut dengan air tajin (air beras). Maka dari kecil anak ini tumbuh menjadi lemah dan sakit-sakitan. Tetapi anak ini sangat penurut dan sangat patuh. Musim silih berganti, Yu Yuan pun tumbuh dan bertambah besar serta memiliki kepintaran yang luar biasa. Para tetangga sering memuji Yu Yuan sangat pintar, walaupun dari kecil sering sakit-sakitan dan mereka sangat menyukai Yu Yuan. Ditengah ketakutan dan kecemasan papanya, Yu Yuan pelan-pelan tumbuh dewasa.

Yu Yuan yang hidup dalam kesusahan memang luar biasa, mulai dari umur lima tahun, dia sudah membantu papa mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah. Mencuci baju, memasak nasi dan memotong rumput. Setiap hal dia kerjakan dengan baik. Dia sadar dia berbeda dengan anak-anak lain. Anak-anak lain memiliki sepasang orang tua, sedangkan dia hanya memiliki seorang papa. Keluarga ini hanya mengandalkan dia dan papa yang saling menopang. Dia harus menjadi seorang anak yang penurut dan tidak boleh membuat papa menjadi sedih dan marah.

Pada saat dia masuk sekolah dasar, dia sendiri sudah sangat mengerti, harus giat belajar dan menjadi juara di sekolah. Inilah yang bisa membuat papanya yang tidak berpendidikan menjadi bangga di desanya. Dia tidak pernah mengecewakan papanya, dia pun bernyanyi untuk papanya. Setiap hal yang lucu yang terjadi di sekolahnya di ceritakan kepada papanya. Kadang-kadang dia bisa nakal dengan mengeluarkan soal-soal yang susah untuk menguji papanya.

Setiap kali melihat senyuman papanya, dia merasa puas dan bahagia. Walaupun tidak seperti anak-anak lain yang memiliki mama, tetapi bisa hidup bahagia dengan papa, ia sudah sangat berbahagia.

Mulai dari bulan Mei 2005 Yu Yuan mulai mengalami mimisan. Pada suatu pagi saat Yu Yuan sedang mencuci muka, ia menyadari bahwa air cuci mukanya sudah penuh dengan darah yang ternyata berasal dari hidungnya. Dengan berbagai cara tidak bisa menghentikan pendarahan tersebut. Sehingga papanya membawa Yu Yuan ke puskesmas desa untuk disuntik. Tetapi sayangnya dari bekas suntikan itu juga mengerluarkan darah dan tidak mau berhenti. Dipahanya mulai bermunculan bintik-bintik merah. Dokter tersebut menyarankan papanya untuk membawa Yu Yuan ke rumah sakit untuk diperiksa. Begitu tiba di rumah sakit, Yu Yuan tidak mendapatkan nomor karena antrian sudah panjang. Yu Yuan hanya bisa duduk sendiri dikursi yang panjang untuk menutupi hidungnya. Darah yang keluar dari hidungnya bagaikan air yang terus mengalir dan memerahi lantai. Karena papanya merasa tidak enak kemudian mengambil sebuah baskom kecil untuk menampung darah yang keluar dari hidung Yu Yuan. Tidak sampai sepuluh menit, baskom yang kecil tersebut sudah penuh berisi darah yang keluar dari hidung Yu Yuan.

Dokter yang melihat keadaaan ini cepat-cepat membawa Yu Yuan untuk diperiksa. Setelah diperiksa, dokter menyatakan bahwa Yu Yuan terkena Leukimia ganas. Pengobatan penyakit tersebut sangat mahal yang memerlukan biaya sebesar 300.000 $. Papanya mulai cemas melihat anaknya yang terbaring lemah di ranjang. Papanya hanya memiliki satu niat yaitu menyelamatkan anaknya. Dengan berbagai cara meminjam uang kesanak saudara dan teman dan ternyata, uang yang terkumpul sangatlah sedikit. Papanya akhirnya mengambil keputusan untuk menjual rumahnya yang merupakan harta satu satunya. Tapi karena rumahnya terlalu kumuh, dalam waktu yang singkat tidak bisa menemukan seorang pembeli.

Melihat mata papanya yang sedih dan pipi yang kian hari kian kurus. Dalam hati Yu Yuan merasa sedih. Pada suatu hari Yu Yuan menarik tangan papanya, air mata pun mengalir dikala kata-kata belum sempat terlontar. “Papa saya ingin mati”. Papanya dengan pandangan yang kaget melihat Yu Yuan, “Kamu baru berumur 8 tahun kenapa mau mati”. “Saya adalah anak yang dipungut, semua orang berkata nyawa saya tak berharga, tidaklah cocok dengan penyakit ini, biarlah saya keluar dari rumah sakit ini.”

Pada tanggal 18 juni, Yu Yuan mewakili papanya yang tidak mengenal huruf, menandatangani surat keterangan pelepasan perawatan. Anak yang berumur delapan tahun itu pun mengatur segala sesuatu yang berhubungan dengan pemakamannya sendiri. Hari itu juga setelah pulang kerumah, Yu Yuan yang sejak kecil tidak pernah memiliki permintaan, hari itu meminta dua permohonan kepada papanya. Dia ingin memakai baju baru dan berfoto. Yu Yuan berkata kepada papanya: “Setelah saya tidak ada, kalau papa merindukan saya lihatlah melihat foto ini”. Hari kedua, papanya menyuruh bibi menemani Yu Yuan pergi ke kota dan membeli baju baru. Yu Yuan sendirilah yang memilih baju yang dibelinya. Bibinya memilihkan satu rok yang berwarna putih dengan corak bintik-bintik merah. Begitu mencoba dan tidak rela melepaskannya. Kemudian mereka bertiga tiba di sebuah studio foto. Yu Yuan kemudia memakai baju barunya dengan pose secantik mungkin berjuang untuk tersenyum. Bagaimanapun ia berusaha tersenyum, pada akhirnya juga tidak bisa menahan air matanya yang mengalir keluar. Kalau bukan karena seorang wartawan Chuan Yuan yang bekerja di surat kabar Cheng Du Wan Bao, Yu Yuan akan seperti selembar daun yang lepas dari pohon dan hilang ditiup angin.

Setelah mengetahui keadaan Yu Yuan dari rumah sakit, Chuan Yuan kemudian menuliskan sebuah laporan, menceritakan kisah Yu Yuan secara detail. Cerita tentang anak yg berumur 8 tahun mengatur pemakamakannya sendiri dan akhirnya menyebar keseluruh kota Rong Cheng. Banyak orang-orang yang tergugah oleh seorang anak kecil yang sakit ini, dari ibu kota sampai satu Negara bahkan sampai keseluruh dunia. Mereka mengirim email ke seluruh dunia untuk menggalang dana bagi anak ini”. Dunia yang damai ini menjadi suara panggilan yang sangat kuat bagi setiap orang.

Hanya dalam waktu sepuluh hari, dari perkumpulan orang Chinese didunia saja telah mengumpulkan 560.000 dolar. Biaya operasi pun telah tercukupi. Titik kehidupan Yu Yuan sekali lagi dihidupkan oleh cinta kasih semua orang.

Setelah itu, pengumuman penggalangan dana dihentikan tetapi dana terus mengalir dari seluruh dunia. Dana pun telah tersedia dan para dokter sudah ada untuk mengobati Yu Yuan. Satu demi satu gerbang kesulitan pengobatan juga telah dilewati. Semua orang menunggu hari suksesnya Yu Yuan.

Ada seorang teman di-email bahkan menulis: “Yu Yuan anakku yang tercinta saya mengharapkan kesembuhanmu dan keluar dari rumah sakit. Saya mendoakanmu cepat kembali ke sekolah. Saya mendambakanmu bisa tumbuh besar dan sehat. Yu Yuan anakku tercinta.”

Pada tanggal 21 Juni, Yu Yuan yang telah melepaskan pengobatan dan menunggu kematian akhirnya dibawa kembali ke ibu kota. Dana yang sudah terkumpul, membuat jiwa yang lemah ini memiliki harapan dan alasan untuk terus bertahan hidup. Yu Yuan akhirnya menerima pengobatan dan dia sangat menderita didalam sebuah pintu kaca tempat dia berobat. Yu Yuan kemudian berbaring di ranjang untuk diinfus. Ketegaran anak kecil ini membuat semua orang kagum padanya. Dokter yang menangani dia, Shii Min berkata, dalam perjalanan proses terapi akan mendatangkan mual yang sangat hebat. Pada permulaan terapi Yu Yuan sering sekali muntah. Tetapi Yu Yuan tidak pernah mengeluh. Pada saat pertama kali melakukan pemeriksaan sumsum tulang belakang, jarum suntik ditusukkan dari depan dadanya, tetapi Yu Yuan tidak menangis dan juga tidak berteriak, bahkan tidak meneteskan air mata. Yu yuan yang dari dari lahir sampai maut menjemput tidak pernah mendapat kasih sayang seorang ibu. Pada saat dokter Shii Min menawarkan Yu Yuan untuk menjadi anak perermpuannya. Air mata Yu Yuan pun mengalir tak terbendung.

Hari kedua saat dokter Shii Min datang, Yu Yuan dengan malu-malu memanggil dengan sebutan Shii Mama. Pertama kalinya mendengar suara itu, Shii Min kaget, dan kemudian dengan tersenyum dan menjawab, “Anak yang baik”. Semua orang mendambakan sebuah keajaiban dan menunggu momen dimana Yu Yuan hidup dan sembuh kembali. Banyak masyarakat datang untuk menjenguk Yu Yuan dan banyak orang menanyakan kabar Yu Yuan dari email. Selama dua bulan Yu Yuan melakukan terapi dan telah berjuang menerobos sembilan pintu maut. Pernah mengalami pendarahan dipencernaan dan selalu selamat dari bencana. Sampai akhirnya darah putih dari tubuh Yu Yuan sudah bisa terkontrol. Semua orang-orang pun menunggu kabar baik dari kesembuhan Yu Yuan.

Tetapi efek samping yang dikeluarkan oleh obat-obat terapi sangatlah menakutkan, apalagi dibandingkan dengan anak-anak leukemia yang lain. Fisik Yu Yuan jauh sangat lemah. Setelah melewati operasi tersebut fisik Yu Yuan semakin lemah.

Pada tanggal 20 agustus, Yu Yuan bertanya kepada wartawan Fu Yuan: “Tante kenapa mereka mau menyumbang dana untuk saya? Tanya Yu Yuan kepada wartawan tersebut. Wartawan tersebut menjawab, karena mereka semua adalah orang yang baik hati”. Yu Yuan kemudia berkata : “Tante saya juga mau menjadi orang yang baik hati”. Wartawan itupun menjawab, “Kamu memang orang yang baik. Orang baik harus saling membantu agar bisa berubah menjadi semakin baik”. Yu yuan dari bawah bantal tidurnya mengambil sebuah buku, dan diberikan kepada ke Fu Yuan. “Tante ini adalah surat wasiat saya.”

Fu yuan kaget, sekali membuka dan melihat surat tersebut ternyata Yu Yuan telah mengatur tentang pengaturan pemakamannya sendiri. Ini adalah seorang anak yang berumur delapan tahun yang sedang menghadapi sebuah kematian dan diatas ranjang menulis tiga halaman surat wasiat dan dibagi menjadi enam bagian, dengan pembukaan, tante Fu Yuan, dan diakhiri dengan selamat tinggal tante Fu Yuan.

Dalam satu artikel itu nama Fu Yuan muncul tujuh kali dan masih ada sembilan sebutan singkat tante wartawan. Dibelakang ada enam belas sebutan dan ini adalah kata setelah Yu Yuan meninggal. Tolong,….. .. Dan dia juga ingin menyatakan terima kasih serta selamat tinggal kepada orang- orang yang selama ini telah memperhatikan dia lewat surat kabar. “Sampai jumpa tante, kita berjumpa lagi dalam mimpi. Tolong jaga papa saya. Dan sedikit dari dana pengobatan ini bisa dibagikan kepada sekolah saya. Dan katakana ini juga pada pemimpin palang merah. Setelah saya meninggal, biaya pengobatan itu dibagikan kepada orang-orang yang sakit seperti saya. Biar mereka lekas sembuh”. Surat wasiat ini membuat Fu Yuan tidak bisa menahan tangis yang membasahi pipinya.

Saya pernah datang, saya sangat patuh, demikianlah kata-kata yang keluar dari bibir Yu Yuan. Pada tanggal 22 agustus, karena pendarahan dipencernaan hampir satu bulan, Yu Yuan tidak bisa makan dan hanya bisa mengandalkan infus untuk bertahan hidup. Mula mulanya berusaha mencuri makan, Yu Yuan mengambil mie instant dan memakannya. Hal ini membuat pendarahan di pencernaan Yu Yuan semakin parah. Dokter dan perawat pun secepatnya memberikan pertolongan darurat dan memberi infus dan transfer darah setelah melihat pendarahan Yu Yuan yang sangat hebat. Dokter dan para perawat pun ikut menangis. Semua orang ingin membantu meringankan pederitaannya. Tetapi tetap tidak bisa membantunya. Yu Yuan yang telah menderita karena penyakit tersebut akhirnya meninggal dengan tenang. Semua orang tidak bisa menerima kenyataan ini melihat malaikat kecil yang cantik yang suci bagaikan air. Sungguh telah pergi kedunia lain.

Dikecamatan She Chuan, sebuah email pun dipenuhi tangisan menghantar kepergian Yu Yuan. Banyak yang mengirimkan ucapan turut berduka cita dengan karangan bunga yang ditumupuk setinggi gunung. Ada seorang pemuda berkata dengan pelan “Anak kecil, kamu sebenarnya adalah malaikat kecil diatas langit, kepakanlah kedua sayapmu. Terbanglah.. ……… ….” demikian kata-kata dari seorang pemuda tersebut.

Pada tanggal 26 Agustus, pemakaman Yu Yuan dilaksanakan saat hujan gerimis. Didepan rumah duka, banyak orang-orang berdiri dan menangis mengantar kepergian Yu Yuan. Mereka adalah papa mama Yu Yuan yang tidak dikenal oleh Yu Yuan semasa hidupnya. Demi Yu Yuan yang menderita karena leukemia dan melepaskan pengobatan demi orang lain, maka datanglah papa mama dari berbagai daerah yang diam-diam mengantarkan kepergian Yu Yuan.

Didepan kuburannya terdapat selembar foto Yu Yuan yang sedang tertawa. Diatas batu nisannya tertulis, “Aku pernah datang dan aku sangat patuh” (30 nov 1996- 22 agus 2005). Dan dibelakangnya terukir perjalanan singkat riwayat hidup Yu Yuan. Dua kalimat terakhir adalah disaat dia masih hidup telah menerima kehangatan dari dunia. Beristirahatlah gadis kecilku, nirwana akan menjadi lebih ceria dengan adanya dirimu.

Sesuai pesan dari Yu Yuan, sisa dana 540.000 dolar tersebut disumbangkan kepada anak-anak penderita luekimia lainnya. Tujuh anak yang menerima bantuan dana Yu Yuan itu adalah : Shii Li, Huang Zhi Qiang, Liu Ling Lu, Zhang Yu Jie, Gao Jian, Wang Jie. Tujuh anak kecil yang kasihan ini semua berasal dari keluarga tidak mampu. Mereka adalah anak-anak miskin yang berjuang melawan kematian.

Pada tanggal 24 September, anak pertama yang menerima bantuan dari Yu Yuan di rumah sakit Hua Xi berhasil melakukan operasi. Senyuman yang mengambang pun terlukis diraut wajah anak tersebut. “Saya telah menerima bantuan dari kehidupan Anda, terima kasih adik Yu Yuan kamu pasti sedang melihat kami diatas sana. Jangan risau, kelak di batu nisan, kami juga akan mengukirnya dengan kata-kata “Aku pernah datang dan aku sangat patuh”.

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown

I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free

5. A little kid who lived in Super Junior’s neighborhood saw Yesung walking into the dorm and kindly told him, “Hey, you know that Super Junior lives there, right?” Yesung and this kid were in the elevator together. Yesung asked him what singer he liked. “Super Junior,” the kid replied. “Who in Super Junior is your favorite?” “Yesung.” Yesung was about to give him his autograph when the kid asked, “so who are you by the way?”

6. When Yesung was in high school, he bleached his hair and wore a helmet to school to avoid getting caught. The teacher asked him to take it off, so he responded “I can’t, my head’s too big.”

7. On Yesung’s birthday, his parents came to the broadcast station. But they had come to see Shin Hyesung’s comeback stage, not their son.

8. One time during Twins promotion, sasaeng fans found Yesung wandering on the streets. “What’s wrong?” They asked him. “I forgot where I live.” The fans had to guide him to the dorm.

9. Yesung was born in Cheonahn, South Chungcheong

10. He has 3 turtles. Ddangkoma, Ddangkoming and Ddangkomaeng :3

11. Yesung chosen as The Korean best filial Idol.

Yesung who is the vocal of Super Junior, the best idol group in Korea was recognized as a filial son who is devoted to his parents.

Super Junior’s Yesung who received lots of love with his sweet voice and participated in many drama OSTs was chosen as the Korean best filial idol by Y-Star Googgumta. Super Junior’s Yesung demonstrated that he was a true filial son by giving his parents a house, a store and a trip as presents.

Googgumta‘s production staffs revealed that when they had an interview with Yesung’s mother, she told them that Yesung recently bought an apartment in Sungsu, Gangbuk for her and her husband. Also, she revealed that when Yesung needed more money to buy the apartment, his management company helped out. She said they will be moving in on February 1st.
The interview was held at a restaurant near Hongik University which Yesung has bought for his parents. Yesung’s mother praised Yesung saying he is a filial son who thinks about his parents before friends.

Also, she hinted at her son’s future career move by revealing that her son Yesung has a lot of interest in pursuing an acting career.

12. Seeing that no one was recognizing him on the streets, Yesung called Kangin, literally screaming into his phone. “Oh, hey, KANGIN!”

13. A fan went to an autograph signing event to get Heechul’s autograph. Freaking out upon seeing Heechul, she started screaming “Kim Heechul! Look over here! Kim Heechul!” Heechul shouted back, “How old are you! How dare you not use honorifics!”

14. Right after Kyuhyun’s debut, some of the Only 12-ers protesting in front of the SME headquarters started shouting that he had a nose job as he walked into the building. He came right back out and started explaining how his nose is 100% natural.

15. Hangeng was about to walk into the SM building when a huge, extremely tall fangirl ran towards him at the speed of 60 mph. “Oppa!” Hangeng freaked out, dropped his card, and started pounding on the door fanatically, crying for help. *wkwkkwkwkwkwkwkwkwkw*

16. Sungmin apparently couldn’t find his car so he just stood in front of some random van that was parked in front of the studio. His manager pulled by and asked him “why are you standing in front of SHINee’s van?” Sungmin replied, “I’m riding with SHINee.” He ended up hitching a ride from SHINee.

17. Two girls were walking on the Chungdam streets when they saw some dude that really looked like Eunhyuk walking towards them. One of the girls said, “Oh yeah, the Eunhyuk guy in Super Junior…what was his height again? 173? 174? 176?” The guy whispered “176″ as he passed by. You guessed it right, that was Eunhyuk.

18. When he gets bored, Sungmin opens the window of his van and shouts “We are Super Juni-OR!” to random people on the street.

19. Back when Donghae had really long hair, his fans were always begging him to cut it. So one time at the airport, his fans spotted him and told him to please get a haircut. Donghae freaked out and shouted, “but I did! I did get a haircut! I just got one this morning! I got a haircut! I did!”

20. The first time Hangeng went to China after debut, he asked his Chinese staffs where the bathroom was… in Korean.

21. He is so embarrased when he told SNSD Sooyoung that his first kiss was Eunhyuk and he already kissed Eunhyuk for about 3-4 times.(♕Sung Min♕)

22. During the Pajama Party promotion, Eunhyuk, fully in his stage costume (with the hair, makeup and everything) was sitting in the green room eating ice cream. One of the newbie staffs came up to him and asked him where his parents were.

23. When Hangeng first started his Korean Cyworld, he posted up his username and password as a blog entry: “My Cyworld is all yours ^^”

24. Kangin was in a taxi when the radio station started to play Don’t Don’. The taxi driver turned the radio right off complaining, “why is this song so damn loud?”

25. Ryeowook and Kibum use honorifics to each other. “Please take care, sir.” “You too, sir.”

26. Before debut, the members played a bet that Heechul could go into the womens’ bathroom without being questioned. When Heechul walked in, one of the women in the bathroom looked at him and murmured, “wow, she’s tall.”

27. An ELF wore piles of makeup and even eyelid tapes and waited in front of the SM headquarters. Late for their schedule, the boys darted out of the building and literally jumped into the van, but Kangin quickly came back out to ask “hey, what’s that tape thing on your eyelids?”

28. according to ELF At SS3Malaysia, Donghae said, "Apa kabar?" and Eunhyuk also said, "Omma kabar?" LOL at Eunhyuk xP

29. A fan kept asking Ryeowook if he could give her a hug. He reluctantly stood up to hug her, when Heechul yelled behind him, “Don’t hug your fans! They start to get bitchy about it!”

30. Once Donghae and Heechul had a huge fight in the dorms, throwing things at each other. Then after five minutes they forgave each other and went out. Leeteuk was the one to clean up all the mess.

31. A fan was lining up in front of Ryeowook at the signing event to get her album signed. Kyuhyun has finished giving autographs and was just sitting there. “Wow, oppa you look so hot today,” the ELF told him. Kyuhyun did not even look up as he replied, “I know.”

32. Henry's first time visit Super Junior, He thought they are all gay

33. Henry said, “It was very hard to understand people speak English with Korean accents. Because I didn’t want to seem like a rude person because of my broken Korean, I asked the Super Junior members to teach me Korean.”

Being the humorous celebrities that they are known to be, Henry
disclosed the type of Korean phrases he was taught. Some of these phrases were “*My favorite type of alcohol is your lips,” and if asked “Where are you?” he would answer, “I am at exit number two in your heart.” naughty SJ member who teach innocent Henry -_-

34. Henry mentioned his first impression of the Super Junior members, saying, “In Korea, it is okay to walk closely and have a lot of skin ship, but overseas, this can be easily misunderstood as being gay.”

Henry also said, “When I first met the members, they gave me a slap on the butt as a greeting, frankly, that was pretty gay.” “Leeteuk was the only who did the most butt-slapping”

35. Henry talked about “pretty idol” Kim Heechul, Henry said he was “really like a girl, with long hair, and really pretty. I thought he was a transgender,” eliciting laughter from everyone.

36. Eunhyuk also got a taste of culture shock from Henry.

He said, “at first, Henry called our SM founder, Lee Soo Man, ‘Mr Lee’” Henry replied, “I didn’t know who was that in the beginning, so I thought he was just the SM boss, so I said, ‘Hey, Mr Lee’ as a greeting. Then he handed me his name card, saying that I can contact him,” causing another round of laughter among the audiences.

Eunhyuk added, “even now, when Henry see Lee Soo Man Sunbaemin, he still uses his English greeting of ‘Mr Lee’ and Lee Soo Man will say, ‘We are all friends’ and he wouldn’t be mad”

49. Why did Leeteuk change his name? No specific reason. He just wanted a "cool" name like Kangta, Hyesung or Junjin, thus he decided to change his name to Leeteuk (or Eeteuk), which means "special", because he is a "special guy". Thus, he introduces himself as, "Teuk ee Teuk ee Leeteuk ee [특이특이 이특이]", which means "Special Special Eeteuk".

50. Leeteuk got lasik (laser eye surgery), now he wears lensless glasses for fashion.

51. Before debut he was very close to Xiah Jun Su and Eunhyuk. So one day after training, Eeteuk being the oldest, decided to treat both of them with buns. However he only had money for two, so he thought maybe the three of them can share two buns. So when the train was here, Eunhyuk and Junsu said bye to hyung, took the buns, and board the train. Leaving him staring back at them blankly. He thought that he could share but they left instead.

안녕하세요! 알렉산더입니다.
사랑하는 키스미 여러분 정말 오랜만이죠? 죄송합니다. 이제야 여러분께 글을 올리게 됐어요.
여러분들이 아시는 것처럼 저는 유키스를 떠나게 되었고 소속사와의 계약도 해지하게 되었습니다.
무엇보다도 지난 3년간 계속 응원해주신 키스미 여러분, 정말 너무나 너무나 큰 사랑을 받았기에 더욱 마음이 아픕니다...
그동안 여러분의 사랑과 응원이 정말 큰 힘이 됐어요.
아울러 그동안 키워주신 소속사 김남희 대표님과 회사 식구 여러분 좋은 기회 주셔서 감사합니다.

다시 한 번 키스미 여러분의 사랑에 진심으로 감사드리고 영원히 영원히 여러분의 사랑 잊지 않겠습니다.

[English]

Good morning everyone, this is Alexander. Long time no see. Thank you for waiting patiently during this difficult time.
As you all know, my departure from U-KISS has been official, and my contract with NH EMG has been terminated.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank God for all my beloved KISSme fans from all around the world for being my BEST support since my debut in U-KISS.
All of your love & support made me into who I am today, with all my achievements.
I know that my departure from U-KISS might be quite sudden and heart-breaking for most of our KISSme fans...
It is also heart-breaking for me to say goodbye to all of you. But I would say, I respect the decision of my company.
I would like to thank Mr. NH Kim (CEO of NH EMG) for giving me the opportunity to work as a member of U-KISS, and to thank all of my fellow NH EMG staffs for their care.
Nevertheless, I would like to thank my U-KISS members. During these 4 years, we played, we worked, we fought, we laughed, we cried... I have learnt so much from you guys...
Thank you so much for letting me be a big brother all these years... You guys are like real brothers to me... I'm sorry that I could not continue the journey with you guys...
But I will always be supporting you guys! All the best to your comeback. Hopefully one day we could once again stand together on the same stage... Love you all...
Although I have no idea what my next step will be, I will just humbly follow wherever the Lord leads me to.
Meanwhile, I would like to take a rest, do something meaningful, and upgrade myself.
Lastly, it was my honor to work for my beloved KISSme from all around the world.
I won't say this is a goodbye. Hope to see you all again very soon as a new Xander.
Thank you so so so much & I love y'all always...♥

Kibum :

Hello... Aku Kibum Ukiss.

Tidak, lebih tepatnya aku Kibum yang pernah bekerja bersama Ukiss.

2 Bulan telah berlalu dan akhirnya aku berhasil mengumpulkan keberanian untuk menulis pesan ini.

Pada intinya, aku ingin mengatakan, mulai February 2011, aku telah menghentikan kontrak eksklusif dengan perusahaan kami.

Perusahaan yang meminta pergantian member, menciptakannya (pemberhentian kontrak). Setelah hari itu, aku bukanlah bagian dari UKiss lagi.

Menghargai dan memikirkan betapa berharganya UKISS, dan mungkin tidak ada yang bisa seperti ini, aku bangga bahwa aku tidak pernah membiarkan bisnis Piro Piro mengganggu jadwal UKISS.

Aku selalu memikirkan UKISS, anggotanya yang sudah seperti keluarga. Meskipun pikiran bahwa aku meninggalkan UKISS membuat hatiku sangat sedih, aku menghormati keputusan perusahaan bahwa UKISS mungkin membutuhkan pergantian member karena kemampuanku yang kurang.

Dan seperti inilah, meskipun dengan begini kami harus terpisah, aku bisa belajar banyak hal dan aku sangat bersyukur aku telah bertemu banyak orang, dan juga UKISS memberku.

Untuk orang-orang yang mencintaiku, aku sangat sedih memikirkan luka dan kepedihan yang akan kuberikan pada kalian (karena masalah ini). Aku berharap dapat berpartisipasi dalam program-program lebih lama lagi. Tidak peduli dimana aku, tidak peduli apa yang aku lakukan, aku berterima kasih pada kalian yang telah mendukungku. Aku akan bertemu kalian lagi sebagai broadcaster.

Terima Kasi

*"Aku tidak keluar, mereka yang membatalkan kontraknya" -Kibum tentang keluarnya ia dari UKiss

"Mereka memintaku untuk menandatangani perjanjian ini, jadi aku melakukannya" -Kibum tentang keluarnya ia dari UKiss

Ketika ia melihat berita yang mengatakan bahwa ia yang ingin keluar dari UKiss, Kibum merasa sangat sedih dan langsung menulis sebuah pesan

"aku memang keluar dari UKiss, tapi bukan karena ingin fokus dengan pendidikan seperti yang mereka (NH) katakan" -Alexander

Buat yang masih belum ngerti soal UKiss ini, dijelasin dikit yaa... jadi gini, manajemen mereka NH Media, dari kemarin2 udah berniat mengganti 2 member UKiss karena ngerasa member yang ada kemampuannya masih kurang. ternyata baru-baru ini ketahuan kalau member yang diganti itu adalah Kibum dan Xander. Jadi seperti yang mereka berdua katakan, mereka bukan mau keluar dari UKiss, tapi manajemen mereka ♈αпG minta mereka untuk menghentikan kontrak karena berbagai macam alesan yang cuma mereka yang tau.*

It doesn't matter if you love him, or capital H-I-M
Just put your paws up
'Cause you were born this way, baby

My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir

"There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are"
She said, "'Cause He made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up, girl and you you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say"

I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way

Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be a drag, just be a queen
Don't be!

Give yourself prudence and love your friends
Subway kid, rejoice the truth
In the religion of the insecure
I must be myself, respect my youth

A different lover is not a sin
Believe capital H-I-M (hey, hey, hey)
I love my life, I love this record and
Mi amore vole fe yah

I'm beautiful in my way,

Left you outcast, bullied or teased
Rejoice and love yourself today
'Cause baby, you were born this way

No matter gay, straight or bi

Quotes by Tony Gaskins

2011-02-19T08:53:00.001-08:00

Negative people never fulfill their full potential because they put limits on life and call it "reality"

"Know what you're doing. Love what you're doing. And believe in what you're doing,that equals SUCCESS!"

It's hard to be creative if you're always watching to see what someone else is doing. Create, don't imitate.

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

I can't take credit for my thoughts. To me nothing is original but God, and ALL wisdom comes from Him.

Imitation doesn't flatter me. I'd be much more pleased to see a person be themselves. We all have a purpose.

Know whether you're chasing a Dream or a fantasy. One is connected to purpose, the other to pleasure.

You always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.

Beware of miserable people who's only goal in life is to make you as miserable as them.

Be BOLD enough to cut out negative people who only come to sow discord and confusion.

If the only time u talk to me is when u disagree, ur telling me a whole lot about u!

Everybody won't understand everything. What you don't understand now, you will later.

2 b content doesn't mean u don't desire more, it means you're thankful 4 what u have & patient 4 what's 2 come.

To be content with what we possess is the greatest and most secure of riches.

Ladies,just because a man loves his mom that has nothing to do with how he'll treat you.You're not his mom.

The Truth won't change because you got offended.

Not everybody wants to see you succeed; be careful with who you share your dreams.

Jealousy, bitterness and hatred are highly contagious...please get the vaccine.

If he's not following God, he's leading you wrong!

There is NO competition! God is so grand, He gave everyone their own purpose. It's on us to fulfill it!

You can't teach somebody that thinks they already know.You're wasting time & we don't get our time back!

Those who say- "I'll never change, I'll always be the same"- don't understand Growth or Greatness.

To keep letting someone mistreat you isn't forgiveness, that's foolishness.

Those that succeed are those that work twice as hard as they believe. Faith w/o work is dead!

If you're living 4 the approval of others you'll never b happy.By the time u become what they want, it's changed.

You can't please everybody, so put God first and let the rest fall in place..

Your happiness shouldn't be decided by others. Happiness is your choice; don't let anyone take that away!

Today remember that you don't fight fire with fire, you fight fire with water. Be the Bigger person.

Do today what others won't so tomorrow you can do what others can't

Ladies, you are a gem and a gem is to be found. When's the last time you heard of a gem finding the man?

Many will judge you without ever meeting you. That's their loss not yours.

I'm convinced that if you relentlessly use the Gifts God has given you, success is inevitable.

Many are afraid to be Great because they don't want to be criticized by those who chose to be average.

rainy day by melody u p

2011-02-19T08:44:00.001-08:00

It's a rainy day
when you're not around
You leave me here alone
I feel so lonely without u by my side

I miss laughing together with you
you're the sweetest thing i know
you're all i wanna see
you're the reason why i live

You say u L♥Vξ me
But Love is more then just words
All I need is ur heart
All I need is to feel you

Look into my eyes
I want you to look at me
like you've never looked at anyone else.
I want you to look at me
like I have something other girls don't.

I L♥Vξ you Boy
My love for you is a journey,
starting at forever,
ending at never...

You Haven't Seen The Last of Me-Cher ost.Burlesque

2011-02-19T08:29:00.001-08:00

Feeling broken
Barely holding on
But there’s just something so strong
Somewhere inside me
And I am down but I’ll get up again
Don’t count me out just yet

I’ve been brought down to my knees
And I’ve been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I’ll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven’t seen the last of me
You haven’t seen the last of me

They can say that
I won’t stay around
But I’m gonna stand my ground
You’re not gonna stop me
You don’t know me
You don’t know who I am
Don’t count me out so fast

I’ve been brought down to my knees
And I’ve been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I’ll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
You haven’t seen the last of me

There will be no fade out
This is not the end
I’m down now
But i’ll be standing tall again
Times are hard but
I was built tough
I’m gonna show you all what I’m made of

I’ve been brought down to my knees
And I’ve been pushed way past the point of breaking
But I can take it
I’ll be back
Back on my feet
This is far from over
I am far from over
You haven’t seen the last of me

No no
I’m not going nowhere
I’m staying right here
Oh no
You won’t see me begging
I’m not taking my bow
Can’t stop me
It’s not the end
You haven’t seen the last of me
Oh no
You haven’t seen the last of me
You haven’t seen the last of me

Korean Food Attack !

2010-12-13T22:01:00.000-08:00

Little Korea

Potret Masyarakat Korea di Jakarta

Jakarta adalah magnet. Dengan segala daya tariknya, Jakarta selalu menggiurkan bagi siapa pun dan dari mana pun untuk datang. Perpindahan penduduk, urbanisasi, dan kehadiran para perantau dari penjuru Nusantara ke bumi Si Pitung ini sudah jadi cerita klasik dan jadi bukti betapa kuat daya tarik kota ini. Hadirnya masyarakat pendatang ini menjadikan Jakarta sebagai miniatur yang lengkap dan sempurna bagi Indonesia.

Kekuatan magnet Jakarta nyatanya tak cuma terbukti pada tingkat nasional, tapi juga level internasional. Kini, seiring kemajuan zaman, Jakarta menjelma salah satu kota pemukiman masyarakat dunia. Dengan berbagai alasan, masyarakat dari seluruh penjuru dunia hadir, tinggal, dan menjadi bagian dari masyarakat penghuni Ibukota. Orang-orang dari Asia, Eropa, Afrika, Australia, dan Amerika bisa kita temui.

Dan, bicara mengenai kehadiran sekelompok masyarakat di negeri selain tanah airnya, tidak lepas dari kehadiran fasilitas-fasilitas penunjang yang memudahkan pemenuhan kebutuhan masyarakat tersebut. Sebut saja restoran, pusat perbelanjaan, sekolah, salon, klinik, tempat ibadah, dan lain-lain. Kebanyakan dari mereka membentuk suatu komunitas dalam satu kawasan. Pada akhirnya, muncullah kawasan yang diklaim dengan kekhasan negara asal mereka. Karena itu, kita mengenal kawasan Little Tokyo, China Town, Little India, misalnya.

Salah satu fenomena yang menarik untuk disorot menyoal ekspatriat di tanah ini adalah kedatangan warga negara Korea. Kehadiran ekspatriat asal Korea di Jakarta bukan cerita baru. Jumlahnya pun tak lagi sedikit. Bila tak salah ingat, Duta Besar Republik Korea dalam sambutan pembukaan Jakarta-Korea Cultural Exchange di Gandaria City beberapa waktu lalu menyebutkan jumlah masyarakat Korea di Jakarta mencapai 40 ribu orang.

Masyarakat Korea di Indonesia, utamanya Jakarta, juga membawa 'kultur' baru yang menambah riuh Jakarta sebagai metropolitan. Di Ibukota, mereka hadir dengan beragam alasan, mulai dari belajar, kerja, penelitian, bahkan berkeluarga, mendiami sudut-sudut kota. Para sonnim dari negeri Gingseng ini berbaur dengan masyarakat asli, tapi tetap menghadirkan kekhasannya.

Selanjutnya, mereka lalu mendirikan berbagai restoran, sekolah, tempat ibadah, pusat perbelanjaan, dan ragam fasilitas hiburan bertajuk Korea. Kabarnya malah, sebuah Koreatown (perkampungan warga Korea) sudah lama terbentuk di Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta Selatan pada awal 1982, ketika seorang warga Korea bernama Kim Woo Jae membuka restoran Korea yang menjual kimchi dan doenjang. Sejak itu, mulai banyak orang Korea yang tinggal di wilayah kelurahan Selong, Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta Selatan, dan membuat wilayah ini sering disebut Kampung Korea.

Korean Food Attack!

Untuk urusan makan, orang Korea bisa dibilang fanatik dengan makanannya sendiri. Jadi dimana pun mereka berada yang dicari selalu makanan Korea. Sejak meningkatnya warga Korea yang berdatangan ke Jakarta, maka menjamur pula restoran Korea di berbagai sudut Jakarta. Makanan Korea memiliki rasa yang khas dan terkenal sehat. Tak heran kalau orang-orang Korea sehat-sehat dan tampak awet muda. Restoran Korea memang rata-rata bisa dibilang mahal, tapi porsinya cukup besar dan layak untuk dicoba. Selamat makan!

Gahyo

Terletak di kompleks SCBD, Gahyo merupakan restoran Korean BBQ yang digemari oleh komunitas Korea. Di Gahyo Anda dapat menemukan aneka menu Korea otentik berkualitas. Harganya memang bisa dibilang cukup mahal, namun untuk urusan rasa tak perlu diragukan. Menu yang sering dipesan oleh pengunjung Indonesia salah satunya adalah Teuk Yangnyeum Galbi, prime beef rib tanpa yang telah dibumbui saus, empuk dan tasty! Selain itu Gahyo juga menyuguhkan dua pilihan lidah (Wooseol), ada yang tebal dan tipis. Salah satu yang sedikit berbeda, Gahyo menyuguhkan Teuk Yang, yaitu bagian babat. Restoran yang berkapasitas sekitar 100 orang ini memiliki interior yang hangat dengan elemen kayu yang mendominasi hampir seluruh ruangan. Seperti restoran Korea lainnya, Anda dapat memilih duduk di meja biasa mau pun di tatami.

Harga: Rp45.000 (Somyon/noodle)-Rp260.000(Wagyu Seng Deungsim); Rp12.000-Rp140.000 (minuman)

Han Gang

Untuk Anda yang mencari Korean Food dengan rasa lebih berani, Han Gang - lah tempatnya! Terbukti dengan rasa kimchi-nya yang lebih tasty dan terdapat sedikit rasa wasabinya. Manis, asam, asin, dan pedas! Kelebihan lain dari restoran yang dapat menampung hingga 200 orang ini adalah tidak adanya hidangan non halal sehingga Anda dapat mencoba seluruh koleksi menu dagingnya tanpa harus berpikir dua kali. Dagingnya pun bukan sembarang daging, kualitasnya yang prima (import dari USA) membuat teksturnya lembut dan terasa lebih gurih. Untuk Anda yang ingin makanan berkuah, Sundubu Kimchi (spicy soft tofu stew dengan udang, kerang, dan telur) harus Anda cicipi. Setelah Sundubu Kimchi Anda lahap habis, untuk ronde berikut pesanlah Japchae (stif-fried potato noodles w/ shredded meat and vegetables).

Chung Gi Wa

Restoran Korea ini interiornya didominasi unsure kayu. Untuk tempat duduknya, bisa pilih ala tatami atau meja makan plus kursi biasa. Kimchi yang merupakan salad khas Korea di sini terdiri dari dua macam, yang pedas dan merah atau sawi putih biasa. Terdapat tumpukan arang yg dibungkus plastik dan oven untuk membakarnya. Lalu ada lemari es yg berisi daging2 segar. Sangat jelas terlihat kalau daging yang dihidangkan sangat fresh. Yang cukup unik adalah air mineral di restoran ini, dalam botolnya terdapat potongan arang bambu. P0enasaran? Segera datang dan pesan makanan khas Korea seperti Bulgogi (daging asap), Cap Jae (soun goring) atau Dolsot Bibimbap (Hot pot nasi sayuran.

Fast Track:

Arang 22

Bentuk depannya yang agak kurang menarik langsung hilang seketika Anda masuk ke dalam salah satu restoran Korea ‘senior’ ini. Meski agak gelap, tapi, ambience restoran yang satu ini agak serupa dengan restoran Korea di negara aslinya. Sama seperti kebanyakan, Arang 22 menyediakan 8 appetizer dan jenis beberapa jenis yang membedakan dengan lainnya adalah potongan kentang dengan mayonnaise dan kaki ubi tumis-nya. Kali ini area memilih beberapa macam menu, yaitu Yuk Hwae (potongan daging prime mentah yang dicampur dengan minyak zaitun serta buah pir dan timun Jepang yang dipotong seperti korek api), Sam Kyup Sae (daging babi yang dibakar kering dengan minyak zaitun), Usol Dwi (potongan lidah sapi yang panggang), dan Bee Bim Bap (‘nasi campur’ khas Korea dengan campuran wortel, toge, sawi putih, selada, dan telur yang disajikan dalam hot pot). Mungkin, bagi Anda yang memiliki lidah lokal, hidangan yang tergolong tasteless disini agak kurang bersahabat. Saran dari kami, untuk Anda yang menyukai makanan pedas, pesanlah chilli powder.

Abgujong

Namanya diambil dari sebuah daerah elit di Korea. Memang, begitu masuk ke dalam suasananya pun bisa dibilang berbeda dari restoran-restoran korea yang kebanyakan interiornya didominasi oleh kayu. Abgujong hadir dengan dominasi warna yang lebih elegan seperti putih dan hitam dilengkapi dengan lukisan-lukisan dan ornamen-ornamen khas Korea. Walaupun baru saja dibuka, Abgujong telah banyak dikunjungi dan digemari oleh warga Korea Jakarta, khususnya yang berdomisili di Jakarta Selatan. Menu spesial yang dihadirkan di Abgujong adalah Wagyu Dengsim, Wang Yam Yem Galbi, daging rib sapi besar yang telah dibumbui, dan Dolsot Bibimbab, nasi bakar khas Korea yang berisi aneka sayuran. Abjugong memiliki chef yang didatangkan dari Korea langsung, sehingga rasanya pun otentik. Yang seru, Abgujong menyediakan aneka pilihan Banchan yang boleh dibilang cukup beragam. Rata-rata ada sekitar 15 hingga 20 jenis Banchan yang selalu disajikan fresh setiap harinya.

Pemilik Abgujong, Shin Mary, merupakan wanita Korea berumur 50an yang baru tinggal di Indonesia sekitar setahun lebih. Sejak investment Korea di Indonesia yang semakin besar beberapa tahun belakangan ini, ia pun tak ketinggalan untuk membuka usahanya di negara ini. Shin Mary yang mengaku jatuh cinta dengan Indonesia karena keramahan orang-orangnya ini telah 20 tahun memiliki restorannya sendiri di daerah Busan. Ketika ditanya mengenai alasannya membuka restoran di Jakarta, menurutnya Indonesia begitu kaya akan bahan-bahan. Biasanya, di Korea bahan-bahan makanan kebanyakan diimpor dari Cina, tapi di sini ia begitu kaget ketika menemukan semua bahan-bahan yang dibutuhkan dengan kualitas yang baik. Wanita cantik yang begitu ramah ini rencananya akan membuka satu cabang lagi dengan konsep yang lebih berkelas dan sedang berencana pula untuk berekspansi ke Bali.

Lime Light Family Karaoke & Cafe

Meski tidak mendeklarasikan sebagai tempat khusus karaoke Korea, Lime Light kerap jadi incaran para penggila karaoke, utamanya penikmat lagu-lagu Korea dan Jepang. Murah meriah jadi alasan kuat kita harus mengunjungi tempat ini. Bayangkan, untuk ruangan jenis small dengan kapasitas 4 orang, Anda hanya perlu membayar sewa Rp45.000/jam. Secara spesifik, Lime Light adalah karaoke keluarga yang mempunyai lagu bahasa Barat, Indonesia, Mandarin, serta menambahkan lagu Korea dan Jepang secara teratur. Uniknya, khusus lagu-lagu Korea dan Jepang, semua lirik lagunya telah diromanisasikan. Hingga saat ini, Lime Light baru memiliki satu gerai, yaitu di kawasan Tanjung Duren Barat. Tak cuma fasilitas karaoke, Lime Light juga punya sajian icip-icip yang lumayan seru untuk menemani karaoke ria. Tambah seru, Lime Light punya paket promo dan membership.

Pang Pang Norae Bang Family Karaoke

Buat yang suka dan berani ber-sing along lagu-lagu Korea, wajib mampir ke sini. Bernama Pang Pang Norea Bang, ini adalah salah satu dari sedikit tempat karaoke bertema Korea di seputaran Jakarta. “Norea bang” sendiri dalam bahasa Indonesia berarti “tempat karaoke”. Salah satu nilai plus dari Pang Pang Norae Bang adalah koleksi lagu-lagu Korea yang lengkap dan beragam.

Kabarnya, setiap bulan selalu ada penambahan list lagu-lagu baru. Mulai dari lagu-lagu OST drama Korea, SS501, FTTS, Boa, Big Mama, bahkan lagu-lagu dari negeri lain, seperti Jepang dan Barat. Soal koleksi lagu, Pang Pang memang juara. Sayang, untuk yang kurang ngeh bahasa Korea, Anda pasti kesulitan. Sebab, daftar koleksi lagu dan lirik ditulis dalam bahasa Hanggul. Mungkin karena 'dikhususkan' untuk memanjakan orang Korea, segala informasi yang terpampang di dinding bangunan karaoke ini ditulis dalam bahasa Korea.

Oh iya, sebagai tempat karaoke keluarga, sebagian besar pengunjung di sana adalah ABG dan rombongan keluarga Korea yang kebanyakan hendak menghabiskan weekend bersama. Tempatnya cozy, luas, dan bersih. Harganya? Lumayan. Untuk satu jam sewa, norae bang ini mematok harga sekitar Rp138.000 (bonus 2 botol air mineral). Tapi, karena tempatnya yang cukup luas (menampung sekitar 8-10 orang), harga tersebut seperti terlihat sepadan. Seperti kebanyakan tempat karaoke, Pang Pang juga menghadirkan program happy hour. Buat menemani keriangan bernyanya-nyinyi, Pang Pang juga menyediakan kudapan, misalnya es krim, odeng, ramyun, dokboki, dan lain-lain.

Supermarket

Lotte Mart

Di negara asalnya, Lotte Mart merupakan sebuah swalayan raksasa yang telah berdiri sejak 1998. Kini, Lotte Mart membuka cabang di China, Vietnam, dan Indonesia. Untuk di Indonesia, supermarket ini menggantikan keberadaan PT Makro Indonesia. Lotte Mart berpusat di Pasar Rebo, dan merupakan pusat perkulakan yang melayani hotel, restoran, dan catering. Sementara, cabangnya yang lain, seperti di Gandaria City dan Ratu Plaza, berkonsep retail pada umumnya. Selain kebutuhan pokok lokal, Anda juga bisa menemukan produk Korea lainnya. Ikan-ikan pun ada beberapa yang diimpor dari Korea. Sayang, tidak tersedia kimchi di sini

Mu Gung Hwa

Bisa dibilang, supermarket Korea paling lama ada di Jakarta, ya, Mu Gung Hwa. Letaknya di kawasan perumahan di Kebayoran Baru. Sebagai sebuah supermarket, Mu Gung Hwa (MGH) menyediakan segala jenis produk groceries kebutuhan sehari-hari. Memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat Korea di bilangan Jakarta, produk-produk yang disediakan kebanyakan memang impor dari Korea, mulai dari makanan kering, barang pecah-belah, stationeries, buku, DVD, serta berbagai jenis cenderamata khas Korea. Selain jajaan produk, di Mu Gung Hwa, tersedia snack corner yang dibangun di bagian belakang took. Di sini, Anda bisa icip-icip kimbab (sushi roll-nya Korea), bibimbap (nasi campur), odeng, dan ddeokbokgi (semacam kue beras yang berkuah kental pedas). Sajiannya oke, porsinya cukup, walau tempatnya kecil.

K Mart

Ini adalah pilihan lain berbelanja produk-produk impor Korea, selain Mu Gung Hwa atau Wijaya Mart. Karena lokasi yang mudah dijangkau, K Mart diminati banyak warga Korea yang tinggal di kawasan selatan Jakarta. Kebutuhan sehari-hari, makanan, minuman, snack, sayur-mayur, peralatan masak, hingga ginseng impor Korea, tersedia di sini. Memang, K Mart tidak seluas Mu Gung Hwa. Tapi, range produk yang tersedia lumayan beragam. Apalagi, bila Anda kurang puas dengan barang yang sudah dibeli, supermarket ini berani mengganti bahkan mengembalikan uang Anda. Tak cuma jajaan produk-produk belanjaan, di gerai K Mart di kawasan Graha Purna Wira Polri, Dharmawangsa ini juga terdapat banchan, sejenis food stall yang menyediakan camilan khas Korea, semisal sauteed ikan bilis, kimchi, rice cake, dan lain-lain.

New Seoul

Swalayan yang satu ini terhitung sudah cukup lama ada di Jakarta. Sayang, kondisi ini justru yang menjadi kekurangannya. Produk yang ditawarkan tidak begitu lengkap. Kondisi tokonya pun seperti tidak terawat. Kimchi, sembako produksi Korea, juga produk ikan-ikanan, baik yang sudah dibekukan maupun diasinkan, bisa kita temukan di sini.

Toko Kue Jongro

Toko kecil ini terbilang unik, karena hanya menjual makanan kecil khas Korea, seperti mochi, gyong dan, mujige, dan lain-lain.

K Mart

Mengedepankan Kenyamanan

Sejak 2003, Korea Mart atau lebih dikenal K Mart hadir sebagai salah satu pilihan berbelanja produk-produk Korea bagi masyarakat Korea di selatan Jakarta. Meski hanya satu gerai, K Mart tak kalah populer dari supermarket Korea lainnya. Nah, area menemui Tatok Purwantoko, salah seorang Store Manager K Mart, untuk mencari tahu seluk-beluk kehadiran supermarket ini, juga gaya berbelanja masyarakat Korea di Jakarta.

Ada alasan khusus hadir di kota ini?

Kemunculannya didasari alasan banyaknya warga Korea di Jakarta. Mereka hadir mengiringi banyaknya perusahaan Korea yang menjalankan bisnis di Jakarta, juga di wilayah pinggiran, semisal Tangerang, Cikarang, dan Karawaci. Nah, K Mart berdiri memenuhi kebutuhan orang-orang Korea tersebut. Apalagi, ekspatriat Korea di Jakarta memang terkenal dengan rasa cinta produk nasional mereka.

Apa saja yang disediakan K Mart? Semuanya impor dari Korea?

Seperti kebanyakan supermarket dan minimarket, K Mart menyediakan produk-produk kebutuhan rumah tangga sehari-hari. Konsep ini sama dengan yang dijalankan K Mart di negeri asalnya. Produknya yang disediakan campuran; 75% impor, 25% lokal. Lokal pun umumnya didominasi brand-brand internasional, seperti minuman ringan. Tamunya memang kebanyakan—hampir 95%—tamu ekspatriat asal Korea.

Bagaimana dengan tamu lokal?

Untuk lokalnya sendiri, jumlahnya sedikit sekali. Biasanya, saat ada acara di gedung sebelah, di Gedung Graha Purna Wira Polri. Umumnya, tamu lokal berkunjung ke K Mart untuk mencari makan.

Kendala penjualan yang dihadapi K Mart di Jakarta?

Kendala pertama adalah minimnya program-program 'ekstra' yang memanjakan pengunjung. Hal ini lebih didasari latar belakang pemilik K Mart yang memang murni dagang. Hanya berjualan. Jadi, dalam pengembangannya kurang memperhatikan promosi, semisal voucher atau bonus. Tapi, untuk meningkatkan animo belanja pengunjung, mulai tahun depan ada rencana membuat sistem membership. Dengan program ini, pengunjung yang berbelanja sejumlah nilai akan mendapat poin. Poin tersebut selanjutnya bisa ditukarkan dengan diskon makan di restoran rekanan K Mart. Kami juga berencana membuka gerai di Bandung dan Surabaya. Kendala kedua, semua barang impor harus didaftarkan di BP POM RI. Barang-barang yang tersedia di K Mart adalah barang yang sudah terlisensi di BP POM. Jadi, yang belum terdaftar, kami terpaksa berhenti impor. Setelah keluar nomor registrasinya, baru kami impor. Memang itu kewajiban, tapi di Indonesia prosesnya sering kali memakan waktu lama.

Kenapa memilih daerah Dharmawangsa?

Kawasan ini bisa dibilang strategis, ke mana-mana dekat. Kawasan ini juga merupakan lingkungan pusat berkumpulnya orang Korea di Jakarta. Banyak apartemen di kawasan Kebayoran baru yang dihuni orang-orang Korea, seperti Kintamani, Essens, Gandaria, dan lain-lain. Itu belum termasuk yang tinggal di sekitar sini, semisal Senayan, Senopati, Santa, dan Wijaya. Selain K Mart, di sini juga jadi tempat berkumpulnya restoran, klinik, dan fasilitas lainnya untuk orang Korea. Dharmawangsa dan selatan Jakarta memang jadi ladang orang Korea.

Ada pelatihan khusus untuk karwayan K Mart, utamanya mengenai bahasa Korea?

Ada, mereka dibekali buku berbahasa Korea-Indonesia. Mereka belajar sendiri. Kalau ada kesulitan, mereka bisa bertanya. Memang tidak ada pelatihan khusus bahasa Korea dalam kelas. Kebetulan, di sini ada store manager orang Korea yang sudah fasih berbahasa Indonesia. Dia yang membantu mengajarkan bahasa Korea.

Bagaimana attitude belanja orang Korea?

Ada perilaku khas orang-orang Korea. Ada dari mereka yang lihat lantas langsung beli. Ada pula yang bertanya harga baru beli. Terakhir, ada juga yang datang, tanya harga, mahal, lantas tidak jadi beli. Sama seperti orang lokal, kebanyakan yang berbelanja adalah ibu-ibu, hampir 80%. Bedanya, orang Korea belanja tidak sedikit, biarpun harganya bisa dibilang agak mahal. Sedikitnya, sekali datang mereka menghabiskan Rp700 ribu-Rp1 juta. Dan, mereka bisa tiap hari belanja. Makanya, kalau ditanya soal omset, K Mart bisa mencapai pendapatan 4-5 minimarket lokal. Kekhasan lainnya, jika sudah merasa nyaman dengan satu tempat belanja, mereka sangat loyal. Dan, mereka tetap mengutamakan produk Korea.

Apakah orang Korea banyak keluhan saat belanja?

Ya, ada. Nah, ini kebetulan sejalan dengan konsep kami yang sangat memanjakan tamu. Bisa dibilang complain is number one. Begitu mereka keluar dari K Mart dan merasa tidak puas dengan barang yang sudah dibeli, kami bersedia mengganti dengan barang atau uang. Di supermarket lain belum tentu bisa. Utamanya adalah membikin tamu nyaman berbelanja di sini.

Michael Jackson 'Michael' Track-by-Track

2010-12-13T21:50:00.000-08:00

Before his untimely death in June 2009, Michael Jackson had been formulating a new batch of material that would have served as the follow-up to 2001's "Invincible." Although Jackson would sadly never see the release of this group of songs, an all-star team of producers and collaborators was assembled to complete the King Of Pop's vision and finish "Michael," Jackson's first posthumous album.

Set for a Dec. 14 release on Epic, "Michael" is bursting with pop hooks and Jackson's unique vocal energy. The 10 tracks form an impressively cohesive disc that features production from C. "Tricky" Stewart, Teddy Riley and Theron "Neff-U" Feemster, and guest spots by Lenny Kravitz and 50 Cent. Most importantly, "Michael" maintains the uplifting tone that Jackson intended for this collection of songs: "He wanted to put out music that was positive enough to bring the world together," says Akon, who duets on first single "Hold My Hand."

Several of the album's key producers and collaborators -- including Akon, Riley and Stewart -- talked to Billboard.com about the making of each track, and what it meant to contribute to a project as monumental as "Michael."

1. "Hold My Hand" (Duet with Akon)
Akon originally wrote this uplifting single for himself, but after being tapped by Jackson to help piece together the King of Pop's next album, the Senegalese singer decided that Jackson's presence on the track was vital. "The song was pretty much finished, but his delivery creates a whole other environment -- his tone and energy just made that record seem completely different," says Akon, who ended up recording the song with Jackson in Las Vegas in 2008. "We decided we would make it his record featuring myself, because I felt like he'd give it more mileage, and the record would be so, so much bigger if it was a Michael Jackson record."

2. "Hollywood Tonight"
A cautionary tale built around breakneck beats, "Hollywood Tonight" finds Jackson telling an intense story of a girl who lets glamour go to her head. The track sounds like Britney Spears' "Lucky" crossed with Justin Timberlake's "Lovestoned," but co-producer Teddy Riley had Jackson's own hits in mind when concocting its danceable sound. "I was looking at just doing the next level of 'Billie Jean' meets 'Dangerous' or 'Doggin' Me Around,'" says the producer, who previously worked with Jackson on tracks like "Remember the Time" and "Dangerous." "It's like one of those driving bass lines that you will remember."

3. "Keep Your Head Up"
"Give me your wings so we can fly," Jackson sings on this inspirational track, which feeds off of swelling backing vocals and slow handclaps at its conclusion. R&B producer C. "Tricky" Stewart was brought in to "add a last bit of polish" to the track, but he says that all of the components of a classic Jackson song were already in place. "It starts small, gets big and ends with a big choir and big drums-the Jackson sound that everybody has come to know and love," says Stewart.

4. "(I Like) The Way You Love Me"
"(I Like) The Way You Love Me" begins with the audio recording of a voicemail Jackson left his engineer, in which he sings the hook and describes the drum arrangement of the track. The simple sketch eventually led to this blissful love song, which recalls "The Way You Make Me Feel" with its layered vocals and gentle percussion. "It's a song he had in his heart for many years," says Theron "Neff-U" Feemster, who worked with Ne-Yo and Jamie Foxx prior to co-producing the track alongside Jackson in Los Angeles. "I'm glad he trusted me enough to complete his vision."

5. "Monster" (featuring 50 Cent)
After opening with a terrifying scream, "Monster" quickly unveils its stuttering beat as Jackson begins lashing out at those who see him as "an animal;" at its climax, the singer can only manage the painful question, "Why?" Riley says that the harrowing song was too slow when he first began working on it, and that he spent a while adding some funk to the darker themes. "I brought in guitars. I brought in bass. I brought in keys. I brought a lot of effects and sounds that kinda took it to the next level," says Riley. The producer also worked with Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, who added a bruising verse to the song earlier this year. "Michael always wanted to work with 50," says Riley. "He came right in and did what he does, and took it in another direction, and it came out incredible."

6. "Best of Joy"
One of the last songs that Jackson worked on before passing away, "Best of Joy"'s message of commitment takes on a new resonance in the wake of the singer's death: "I am forever," Jackson coos, adding, "We'll never part/Our love is from the heart." Feemster says that the track was completely finished before Jackson's death, and that it was meant to be unveiled during his "This Is It" tour. "You can't help but smile when you hear it," the producer says of the song.

7. "Breaking News"
When it first debuted in early November, "Breaking News" presented a more defensive side of Jackson, who attacks the media for turning him into a "boogie man." Recorded in the New Jersey home of co-producer Eddie Cascio in 2007, the song's simmering beat and throwback feel can be credited to Riley, who claims responsibility for many of the song's major musical elements. "'Breaking News' was a track that, when I first heard it, I wanted to take to the next level and make it very exciting, very interesting, and kind of change things up," says Riley, "and we completed our mission doing that."

8. "(I Can't Make It) Another Day" (Featuring Lenny Kravitz)
After seven songs of R&B-influenced pop, "Michael" takes a left turn with this Lenny Kravitz collaboration, which develops an industrial rock groove that's a bit reminiscent of Nine Inch Nails. "You're the fire that keeps me warm!" Jackson bellows on the chorus, as guitars envelop his voice and Kravitz repeats the song title like a lullaby. Aside from Kravitz's blistering solo on the bridge, "(I Can't Make It) Another Day" is highlighted by some spectacular percussion courtesy of Dave Grohl.

9. "Behind The Mask"
This kinetic pop song was originally performed by Yellow Magic Orchestra before Jackson asked to add some lyrics to match the danceable beat. A saxophone solo soon segues into a series of electronic blips, and Jackson offers the command, "Take off the mask, so I can see your face!" while computerized backing vocals contribute to the tightly packed production. "Mask" is a must-listen if only because, out of all the songs on "Michael," it holds the highest number of Jackson's signature "hee-hee!" exclaims.

10. Much Too Soon
"Michael" ends with its most somber song, as "Much Too Soon" finds Jackson wistfully looking back on a relationship that he could not make work. "I'm hoping that my prayers will see, The day that you come back to me/But I guess I learned my lesson much too soon," sings Jackson, who produced the song alongside McClain. Written around the time of the "Thriller" album, "Much Too Soon" stands as a powerful final reminder of Jackson's emotional vocals and effortless songwriting.

Sungmin Donates 1.5 Tons Of Rice To Disabled People

2010-12-13T21:02:00.000-08:00

Sungmin Donates 1.5 Tons Of Rice To Disabled People

Super Junior Sungmin who is acting in the KBS Wed-Thurs Drama “President” has donated 1.5 tons of rice to Dongjakgu Disabled People’s Workshop.

Sungmin’s donation of 1.5 tonnes of rice comes from the rice baskets given by Sungmin’s fans from 7 countries to cheer him on during the press conference of KBS Wed-Thurs Drama “President” at Ramada Seoul Hotel held on the 9th.

Sungmin’s fans from South Korea, China, Thailand, Canada, Singapore, Taiwan, and Malaysia gave rice baskets as gifts to congratulate and cheer on Sungmin for his first acting stint and to hope for good drama ratings. At the end of it, the rice was sent to help the needy.

The rice was sent to Dongjakgu Disabled People’s Workshop. This is the place where Sungmin and his fans have been helping and volunteering for many years. Dongjakgu Disabled People’s Workshop’s President Lee Yong Ho said, “Super Junior Sungmin’s charity acts that are fitting of an idol star’s actions are very touching. We will help to actively promote “President” so that Sungmin’s drama will have a good ending.” He also expressed his gratitude to Sungmin’s father who helped in the transportation of the rice (to the workshop).

Sungmin’s active participation in volunteer work is due to his parents’ influence. In 2009, in conjunction with the Green Coalition, Sungmin’s father donated the administrative procedure fees for Sendbill (the name of Sungmin’s father’s company), which deals with electronic tax invoices, to the Green Coalition administration, and Sungmin’s mother had been quietly volunteering in the past 20 years. Sungmin’s father sent the 1.5 tonnes of rice from fans to where it is needed. Residents who received it said, “We’re thanking Sungmin’s fans with tears, we don’t really know how to explain these feelings we are experiencing. Through the drama “President”, something good will come out of the fans’ actions.”

The drama “President” shows the entanglement between people’s pain and their hidden ambitions for power, this KBS2 Wed-Thurs drama will be showing its first broadcast on the 15th at 9:55PM. At the press conference, Sungmin’s fans from 7 countries sent up to 70 rice baskets to cheer on the drama, totaling up to 1.5 tonnes (of rice), attracting the attention of everyone present.
