Yesterday was aiyu's 5th anni. I should supposedly be posting this yesterday. However, things got clogged up and I was really busy. I could only get on the computer for half an hour to update one of my stories and there wasn't enough time to write this post.



This is more or less a blogpost dedicated to aiyu. It's been five years since aiyu's debut. Time passes really fast. How long have I been an Uaena? Three years or so? And I am still here, standing proudly, telling everyone how much I love aiyu. For a person like me, it isn't easy. I am really fickle minded and my heart changes really quickly. I could be obsess over an idol for a week and after that week, that person could be somewhere at the back of my mind. Aiyu is the only artist that has remain as my top bias and I have the confidence to say that, she will always be.

I am not an Uaena since her debut and definitely did not become one of her fan the moment I saw her. In fact, I've known her even before I officially became one. I knew her ever since her Boo mv however, I was not hyped up at all. Well, she didn't really attract me at first sight. It was until I watched this.



I always had a thing for guitar. The sound of guitar. The scratches in the sound. Unlike piano, which sounds so perfect with every note hit. With just a key pressed, a perfect note could come out from itself. Guitar isn't like this. How much effort you have to exert on a string just to produce that perfect note, that perfect sound. It doesn't always sound perfect. And through that imperfection, I found what I think is perfect. People who play guitar, I always admire them. I am not a fan of hipped music, in fact I like acoustic a lot. Some people think it's boring, but to me, it gives me so much inspiration and motivation. It doesn't have to be complicated, just something simple could give me all the feels to drown into the music. And aiyu? She did it. With her angelic voice and the way she arranged the song into her own style, I fell for her, hard. Like some kind of drug, I was addicted and I fell deep. And even now, I still could not pull myself out of it. And for the first time, I saw aiyu shining so brightly in my eyes.

I guess that was the day I joined WHI, an IU international forum. The first forum I have ever join in my entire life. I became really dedicated and eventually was asked to be a mod in the forum (have quit cos I was too busy at one point in life that I took a long hiatus break). I was over the moon. I was overjoyed, and it was because I find myself doing something just for aiyu. I usually isn't a person who could dedicate myself with such stuffs. However, aiyu and the friends I made through the forum gave me the strength and the need to visit the forum and to even spend hours on the site. And when aiyu came to the site and leave an English message for us. Holy crap, I swear I was banging my keyboard so hard when I saw it.

It seemed only yesterday how all of us in WHI were hyping up about IU's Good Day comeback. I even cried when I saw her crying over her first win on inki. After years of hard work, she finally did it. People start to recognise her talent and for who she is. And I could clearly remember for her 19th birthday, how many sleepless nights I spent to write the Good Fairy Tale message book. I remember clearly how excited I was when writing that, every thought I had when writing the story was aiyu, aiyu and more aiyu. The moment she saw the message book, the thank you message she wrote for us. I can never forget. Perhaps, that is one of the reason to why I write. I found joy and it was all because of aiyu. ♥

Through all these years, there were ups and there were downs, there were times where she was greatly loved and there were times where hates started coming. There were also times where I hated the haters, there were also times where I hated those who came in her disfavour. However, seeing how aiyu still remains strong, I came to a realization. You can't expect everyone to love her, those that didn't go away, are the ones who really love her for who she is. And to me, aiyu isn't just an idol, she is an artist. Aiyu is perfect in my eyes. I mean, what can she not do? She can sing, she can dance, she can host, she can act, she can compose, she is hardworking, she is pretty and above all, she treats her fans with a heartwarming and genuine heart. There are so many more years to go. Just like how time flies, the sixth anni will be here just in a blink of an eye. And hopefully this year could be a smooth and awesome one for aiyu and all of us.

After talking for so long, I just realised that I have yet to wish her, HAPPY 5TH ANNI! All Uaenas, lets' stay united and support her till we grow old!

And yes, I can't wait for 7th Oct. So in the meanwhile, I shall watch YTBLSS and continue writing my aiyu fics. Shall be a good girl and wait patiently for aiyu's return. I bet it will be awesome and I know it will. ☺
