Profile
She is unpredictable, frequent moodswings. Sometimes she’s nice, and sometimes she’s not.
Her name is Yan Ying. 90% of the world can’t pronounce it properly, simple as it seems. But no one really cares so they just call her YY. She is not fond of people with the same name as her. She turns 14 on 6th September and she loves her birthday cause it is a sex symbol.
She was from Yew Tee Primary and is still proud of her school. She will never forget the class of 6D’07, or the batch of P6’07. She is currently an idiot in Nanyang Girls High and it is a love-hate relationship. She belongs to 202’09 which she, to be honest, doesn’t feel much for.
She is a Theatre Club girl and is more than proud to be one. She especially loves Emo Batch♥, and looks forward to devoting her next 3 years to TCN with much optimism.
She does ballet with more than just passion but she can’t do a center split. She is trying her best and is currently aiming for a far-fetched distinction for Grade6. She loves hiphop just as much though she’s pretty new at it. Her favourite sport is swimming and she occasionally plays basketball as a form of stress-relief. She likes to be tan and loves her swimming tan line. The piano, is yet another love-hate relationship.
Like most teenagers, her hobbies include MSNing, blogging, and youtubing and facebooking. She loves shopping and doing random stuff like gaying people, jumping over railings, walking in the rain, and having completely irregular sleeping hours.
Unlike most teenagers, she thinks that rap music is trash. She also thinks that she is getting old cause she hates the songs the average listens to these days. She can’t explain her love for oldies, country music, ballads, and sentimentals. Nostalgic songs are the best. Her favourite bands are Michael Learns to Rock, The Beatles and Westlife. She loves too many singers to name them all.
“Forevers” are bullshit as of now.
The night speaks to her the way no one else can. Her favourite thing to do is to curl up with a book on a rainy afternoon in her room, where she feels safest in. Her favourite flower is a black rose, but on the contrary, she likes rainbows and hugs too.
She is always torn between two.
But she is determined when she sets her mind on something, so she wants the world to shut up and believe in her. Just watch.

LONGTIMENOBLOG!
(OK AT LEAST THIS COUNTS AS SOMETHING. REPOSTING THE ENTRY WHICH I MADE LITTLE LITTLE LITTLE AMENDMENTS BELOW...)
My thank-you speech for the "Surviving PSLE Award", aka SPA:
-My family for the support and care they have provided.
-My teachers and tutors, who have motivated me and guided me so much in this year.
-All my friends for brightening up my day, the reason for the smile on my face. (Well mainly the guys, I can't stand the kiasu-ness, sensitivity and sarcasm of the girls. @#$%^&*)
-Leon Lim for helping me with my subject questions and clarifying my doubts even before this year started. (See, you're in a class of your own!! Happy? Good enough? I sound sarcastic. XD)
-The HCI-ians on my MSN list, for helping me with my subject questions and clarifying my doubts too. Well especially Kiat Long, Shuin Jian and Ng Peng. =))
-Shuin Jian, for wasting your phone bills, saying "relax" how many hundred times and of course, for being there when my self-esteem plummeted all the way down.
-Jonathan (or jonjon, as I call him) and Wei Xuan, for... Haha, making me smile so hard until my face was gonna explode. And that was when I felt super depressed about my papers. We 3 make the "PSLE Fanatics", and what we do were mainly just motivating each other, even when our own self-esteem was low. Just shouting how wonderful PSLE is, how much we love it (although that might not be true), and how there would be a better tomorrow, really helps. Alot.
-Michael Learns to Rock...Having the ability to calm me down with their songs when I felt super stressed and paranoid.
-My blog-taggers who encouraged me all the way... Reading those tags just brings a smile to my face.
And well..Anyone who has been wishing me "Good luck/Jiayou", or encouraged me in any other way. <33>
THANKS LOTS! =D --------------------- Ok, done with my speech.
It's not much for now, but rest assure 10 years later, or after I complete my PHD, it will be Grammy awards. =)
Now we shall REWIND. Around two weeks ago...
I love Miss Soon! =D Guess what she gave me? ..... .... ... .. . The NYGH IT Quiz visitor pass!
Okay go and chey for all you like. I know obviously can't use or anything but it's a PRODUCTION of NANYANG. I have like one part of my shelf dedicated to all the Nanyang things I have on hand and it includes this unfiltered bottle of mineral water from JULY's IT Quiz. (That's because I'm crazy about that school, and please lah, who doesn't know I am.)
Anyway it was probably during Tuesday's morning assembly and I was unmistakably talking to my usual clique of boys. Then suddenly I heard Miss Soon call my name and I was like, "OH SHIT." Only I didn't say it out loud. Of course. Then I whipped my head and she was standing there with her usual stern face. I didn't dare to go to her then she called my name again and I felt like I was surrendering myself to destiny. An ugly destiny of course. I went out of the classline, and halfway through I passed Tricia, and she said, "Good luck."
I stood in front of Miss Soon, sweating because I thought she was gonna scold me for talking, and she was ruffling through her stack of papers on her file. Then she found this pass with the string attached. Well string as in the one you hang around your neck one.
"Nah, for you," she said. I didn't dare to take lar, because I was still badly-shaken. Let you in to a secret - I am super scared of Miss Soon's scolding because...OMG just thinking of how she screams at you... So I stood there with a "Huh?" escaping my mouth. She said, "For you." again then I took it, then looked at it as a grin spread across my face. I said, "Thank you!" as the heavy-hearted feeling 100% evaporated.
Throughout the day I was like "showing off" to my clique of guys and my clique of girls, saying, "Jealous?" Well even to Miss Lin AHAHA. I know they don't really care so I did that... ^^
Some time later I am going to post up the video my mum secretly took as I opened the letter for the successful DSA. (If I remember.) See how crazy I became. Okay not very crazy, saying that I jumped up and down and screamed my head off. Well actually I did while phoning the news to SJ. =))
And two days ago, I saw Miss Soon leaving Gate A, so I said buh-bye to her. She smiled and waved to me too. You know a year ago, when I see Miss Soon smile (like, once in a rainbow moon), I will totally freak out and scream at the person next to me, like, "MISS SOON SMILE!! OMGOMG!!" Then when I was P4 she scolded me (like real loud) once cause I didn't bring my social studies book and that totally traumatised me, I was so scared that I almost cried.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday, 1st Oct 07, was Childrens' Day Celebration.
Last Childrens' Day. Will miss it.
Well, still being young at heart, we were like pestering Miss Lin to give us children's day presents. Um not me, but I was laughing like crazy. Miss Lin then went up to the whiteboard and wrote "HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY!" with a smiley face and 6D's roar got even louder. For the entire 30 mins the class was being so freaking noisy lah. But it was totally hilarious. Ah well, things would never be the same again, but the memories would definitely be kept under lock and key.
During art lesson, alot of people went up to the whiteboard and drew sad faces, until the whiteboard was rather full of it. Mrs. Cheng was like telling us that it's the thought that counts, and one or two other motivating stories. I forgot what she had said, but then she did say something, which turned those sad faces into smiley faces. =)) Mrs Cheng also told us some ghost stories. I always enjoy Mrs. Cheng's lessons because they are usually fully-equipped with stories. And me being me, I love it.
Performance...It was rather fun. Some were just hilarious. Thigh-slapping, stomache-hurting funny. Esp the P2 teachers' performance. It was about an audition for dunno what. Well the host was Mdm Tan, our music teacher actually. It's quite funny the way she acts like a bitch.
First contestant was Mdm Nora. She played "Ella", so guess what song she "sang"? Umbrella, by Rihanna. Ella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh... I find that song rather irritating though. Just don't like it. It was super funny haha. Then she used the hello-kitty umbrella.
 Next contestant was Miss Chin. She took that Pooh Bear soft toy and she was playing this very good girl. Every sentence she said started with, "My mummy/mother say..." "My mother say taking this pooh bear with me will make me feel less nervous..." "My mother say it's rude to cross your legs..." (The judges were, ahaha) "My mother say cannot start if the judges never say 'start'..." Lol it's so cute lahh! =)) I forgot what song she sang, sorry.
 Third one was Mdm Chua. Miss B. aka Miss Beautiful. Wasn't very funny. She acted like very vain..Take scarf...Put make-up...She did the song Beautiful, by Christina Aguilera. O.o Ok...The one Damien (he's too gay to function) from Mean Girls sang..
Fourth one was DEFINITELY the MOST HILARIOUS.  MR AMI!!!!! (Or however his name is spelt) In a dress and wig. Not sure if he wore high heels, because if he did then he's a real pro. Like, not many men can handle that okay. His act was rather seducing... And he sang Don't cha by Pussycat Dolls. I was laughing my ass off. Saw Mdm Lee almost falling out of her seat. It was totally uber hilarious lah...It was so gay.
The P1 teachers did some sort of quiz, the P3 ones a hiphop dance, P4 one I forgotten, P5 one was a rather comical juggling act, and P6 one was a short "movie". Like, they used cartoon characters or superstars or anything and with speech bubbles, then they put the P6 teachers face. Miss Lin was a samurai, I think, and she did look rather hot. =D
After this, however, Miss Lin brought up DOUGHNUTS to the classroom! ^^ Yay I love doughnuts ahaha. And yeah, I didn't believe she wouldn't treat us to anything. Miss Lin was so nice to even treat Jian Feng to it, seeing how he was "grounded" in our class. She said that after PSLE gonna have some sort of BBQ/go her house or something. Yay! =) Though I'm not quite sure of the boys haha, and I'm quite certain Miss Lin will yell at them. I mean, they haven't even grown up yet...
I would say this turned out to be quite a memorable children's day, although studying was involved as PSLE was just 2 days later. Hmm..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay, also, I wanna express my apology to two guys. Leon, for nothing serious and I don't feel remorseful at all but I'm still acting so (I know ur reading it now but heck care...) because when he's angry he scares the crap out of me.
The second one's someone (i wun mention his name or he'll be shamed for life, and those who know please keep your mouth shut) because I scared the crap out of him. I was acting like I totally screwed PSLE up (well yea I did) and then I scared him with this:
You can see now it's obviously a man's hand because it's so freaking hairy and fat, but on the MSN DP it's small so it doesn't really appear so. Anyway, he was really stupid. (k forgive me for saying that) I didn't intend to like, pretend it was mine and scared him at first, just wanna show him cause I was rather shocked by it.
So the conver went like:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Me: SEE MY DP!! OMG SO COOL. Him: emo? Me: haha but so cool right. Yeah emoing. Him: pls dun tell me thats rilly. Him: It's not. Him: It's not. (Okay it was here where a lightbulb went off in my head.) Me: i just uploaded it yah. Him: it is so not Him: no it isnt Him: i dun blive this at all Me: well you can don't believe . =) Him: well its not, is it? Me: what if i tell you it is ? Him: is it? Him: it isnt Him: how long hav u spent on that? Me: 3 minutes. approx. Him: wad time? Me: well just recently. Him: wif wad? Me: penknife ? so standard. Me: it hurt abit but whatever. Him: how u going to play bball? Me: dun play lor . psle is more important. Him: i dun blive Me: then don't. Him: well. emo wif my thumb oso. (it is true so i can say he's crazier.) Me: let's emo together yah! Him: but i a lil more stupid Him: i did it on my rite thumb Me: zzz man i haven't die yet. Me: wtf theory is this . Him: u noe u cut the rite vein u can die u noe Me: oh. haven cut deep enough. Him: and u noe wad 'die' is? Him: seriously. u noe wad 'die' is? Me: yeahh. Me: where ur troubles and worries get washed away . (This line is obviously copied from some emo-kias and please lar, I hate emo kias. They are attention-seeking suckers.) Him: no! Him: u haven awaken Him: awaken! (I was laughing shit from here) Him: u noe wad die is? Me: AWAKEN! :D Me: yahh say byebye Me: byebye =) Him: this is serious! Him: hey jess! Him: this is serious Me: mm yeah? Him: rilly Me: -.- Him: i can report u to police u noe Me: report lor. Me: heck care. Me: die alr. Him: rilly! Him: im committing a crime trying to hide u Me: then don't. Me: well let the whole singapore know that psle IS EVIL. Me: it KILLS. Him: no Him: i luv PSLE Him: and i tell u, u'll luv PSLE when u go o lvl Me: when i die. Me: i shall haunt u too. Me: zzz so stupid Me: cut deeper alr vein haven burst. Me: stupid theory la. Him: i can dun care u noe Me: no one ask u to care. Him: my conscious did (over here i afk, without telling him so as to scare him.) Him: i hope u do hav one as well Him: before u do anyth stupider, dun u think u ought to tell ur parents smth? Him: dun u tink u oughtta apologise Him: do u tink fooling me liddat is funny? Him: dun u noe i still having exam (his eng and lit paper was the next day) Him: and u r distracting me by making me worried? Him: go jump lah Him: go jump Him: go window and jump Me: zzz ok sorry la. (was back already, and felt REALLY remorseful after seeing what he had typed while i afk-ed.) Me: sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry . Him: i feel better
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After that we added someone else in the conver and we talked about it. There was one point I said, "so fun." And the guy who was fooled was like, "Oh you had fun? Was it worth it? Was it worth it at all?" Then he continued overreacting. -.-
Okay, well, SORRY again, for fooling you like that. Luckily you didn't have a heart attack or I'd be held responsible and that would be a real crime.
After he logged off, I went to tell Leon about the unforgettable experience (he said i was damn bad) and he told me that he did something similar, just worse.
His friend could do make up pretty well, and so she put a fake scar on his body where his operation scar was. Then he put red paint + water + tomato over it and filled his mouth with it. So he staggered to one of his church friend while she was eating, then she was like, "Leon are u ok?" He was like, "errr..." That spewed out the shit in his mouth. Then he collasped. She started crying real bad and went, "Leon..Don't die!" And she was like SEMI-CARRYING HIM. She was sobbing and sobbing. Then he went, "(insertname). Its just a joke." And she slapped him real hard (or so, according to him). She dao him for a damn long time and then he caught up with her and made sure she had no "escape". He said sorry then she burst into tears again.
Ah well, Leon Lim, I think she likes you. XD Oh you think so too. XD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- K I shall get to the point of the entry.
PSLE!!
I don't wanna go into REAL DETAILS, because it's over, there's nothing much I can do about it, and I don't want to think about it anymore because I screwed it way bad.
During this period, I cut off as much contact as I could from my fellow P6s, especially the 6D-ians. I simply didn't want to hear about their opinions on the paper, because I would get totally paranoid.
I remembered the day before the first paper, everything seemed to be different that day, the sky seemed foreign, the usual route I take home seemed unfamiliar. I'm not kidding. Probably a cause of anxiety and nervousness.
SMSes were flying around, SMSes of good luck, SMSes of us students who didn't know what was in store for us. We all knew this was our final battle, our last and only chance to gain victory. That week would decided our life and death, almost literally.
And I also went to the temple to pray.
Hmm..So the night before the first paper, English paper, I was doing some last minute mugging (I did learn, and last minute revision does help, although of course I study too on normal days). And err, with KL and Jian (they're like my older brothers) making me relax on MSN. Somehow KL's words always bore deep into me and they always leave me a deep impression. And Jian's trademark words are, "Relax" and "Better not sleep late" and "If not I'll kill you".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ English
Early the next day I was rather surprised to receive an "All the best (-:" sms from Jian. Hmm yeah it did make me smile, and thank you.
Morning...Sat in examination hall...Went through some English with Pamela and Xi Mei (maybe a few others) while the monkeys (my class somemore, banded, what a disgrace, there were non-banded in the classrooms too)jumped and ran around and screamed and shouted like they own the place and PSLE is a century later.
Seriously they don't understand the importance of it whatsoever.
At 7.50 we had to get ready already... Then teacher read the announcement, give out papers, whatever. After hearing the announcement for so many times, I can practically memorize it: "You are not allowed to bring into the examination room any unauthorized item capable of storing or displaying visual or verbal information, such as digital camera, MP3 players or iPods. If you are caught doing so, it will be considered as cheating. Cheating is a serious offence. You will be disqualified from the examination immediately. If you have any of these items with you now, please put them in your bag. All bags are to be placed outside the examination room." Or somewhere close to it.
Ah well.. English paper 1. The continouous writing, black-out in the MRT train. I wrote about a fire, and death was included. I like ending the compo with death (that's CKM's style though), because I love to portray the writer's feelings and emotions. I'm quite sure I lost 2 marks in situational writing though. Sigh, I wanted a 15.
Paper 2. Hmm. I would say, after doing the paper once through, I thought it was really easy. Then I checked. Then I found it really hard. The really sad thing is that I changed THREE correct answers to THREE wrong answers, which means I minused THREE marks. Oh if only, if only I didn't check, this wouldn't have happened. Also I lost another three marks here and there.
I got so depressed that I cried. Literally. Of course not the big boo-hoos. Just silent, useless tears. Called Jian, and we talked for a few hours (his brother said it was easy, no surprise cuz his bro's a smarty-pants). Didn't bother to think of calling the P6s, didn't wanna hear anymore about the paper, because I know I would get more depressed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Math.
My only hope of survival. I'd say it turned out to be rather acceptable and it went okay for me. Prelim was too easy, no fun. I really hoped I would be able to tackle Math - I even wanted a 100 or at least above 95.
As usual, the same thing, and of course with the monkeys' distractions.
Anyway, in the midst of the exam, Yan Ting who sat behind me cried. It didn't serve as much of a surprise to me - She cries when she gets nervous, and the paper was considered challenging. I kinda enjoyed doing the paper.
After the paper I thought it was easy, but after comparing answers I changed my view to, "Okay." And after comparing answers I got depressed once again and called Jian to 诉苦 after his school ends. Before that, me, Wei Xuan, Boris, Jonathan were like cursing the hell out of PSLE. It was really despicable, so I won't elaborate much. But it was freaking hilarious that my NEIGHBOUR complained about my laughing.
Oh yes, Jian's brother said the paper was easy again. Like wtf. I know you're smart...
After the phone-call with him, I went to revise my Math for abit. Then at night, I saw Wei Xuan's PM, "Thoughts of giving up occured to me. But when you hear those words, your eyes widen, you sit up straight. YOU WANT TO WIN." That got it, my burning desire. I changed my PM to it too, and forced jonjon to. Then, added WX into the conversation and we three were going on about how fab PSLE is, even though we all know it really isn't.
But we believed. We believed PSLE was wonderful, we believed there would be a better tomorrow, we motivated each other, and we were all determined at the end of the conversation. And just believing was enough. I can't really express how grateful I was to them, although they are just like me, hopeless, depressed, but put the three of us together, you never know what you might get. Our definition of PSLE = Perfect. Score. Loveit. EXCEL! And, quoted from Ng Peng, "I'm bringing sexy (A*) back...Yeah!" You know, really, thanks so much WX and jonjon. Jian was amazed at how I suddenly became hyped up and using smiley-faces, such that he had to tell me to relax over another cause.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chinese.
See, just believe. Told you the rainbow would come out after the rain. Told you there would be a better tomorrow.
Chinese was quite easy. Although my zuo wen didn't come out the one I memorized, I guess I managed to hit it off. But not very well, considering the fact that my Chinese zuo wens are a great contradiction to my English ones. Topic was about something which happened that made you aware of the importance of saving money. Wrote about these neighbours who used to be very rich, but were spendthrifts, and therefore when the father got some cancer, they couldn't afford it. So the daughter went to ask me for money and told me some sob story. I said this lady made me realize the importance of savings, and ended with, "储蓄是很重要的,我们不知谁是要用到它.就像这次发生的事,钱可以用来久一条生命." Ah shit, I forgot to use 珍贵的生命.
Paper 2 was quite simple. =)) Shan't elaborate much. There wasn't a need to phone Jian today (his bro said easy yet again), so I didn't. =))
Anyway, I had McDonalds after school. ^^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Science.
Monday.
I think it was the toughest paper among the 5 subjects including HMT. Section A went okay, but Section B was totally RIDICULOUS. M brain freezed, I couldn't understand... I was just, chionging, chionging to fill up the lines with whatever crap that was in my head. After the exam I got really paranoid. It really sucked. I screwed real bad. Jian's brother somemore said it was easy except for one question. He's like crazy la. I don't wanna talk about the Sci anymore, it pisses me off like crazy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HMT.
Okay. Everyone knows. After this it's... PLAYTIME!!!!!! Time to let down your burdens, time to relax.
I was happy when I saw that I could used a zuo wen I've memorised for paper 1. (I memorized 11). So it was, take a deep breath, vomit out whatever that was in your mind. And I did it, quite smoothly. Though I cut short one or two lines cuz time was running out.
Paper 2 was rather simple. Enjoyed it pretty much.
Nobody could wait for the invigilators to get hold of the papers. The moment they did, it's FREEDOM. Freedom, after months and weeks and days of incessive mugging. There's nothing, NOTHING, better than that.
Pretty much the entire hall was grinning from ear to ear, the moment the invigilator said, "Time's up." I couldn't wait for my script to be collected, really couldn't wait.
Still, there had to be discipline and orders. Like, who the heck cares already. When the invigilator called for our class to be dismissed, we ran all the way to the back of the hall and REJOICE! We were jumping, yelling, screaming, anyone looking at us could say we're abnormal, if not for the fact that PSLE just ended. I felt totally on cloud nine and everyone's eyes twinkled with more than happiness. Yeah, like we just came out of Changi Prison after 50 years of captivity. And then we waved to Miss Lin from the back of the hall. She was on the stage doing some paperwork and she was equally crazy.
Okay~ At least got something for you folks to read. I will continue my LONGLONG entry tomorrow cuz I'm dead beat. Barely keeping my eyelids open.
Anyway, go visit http://www.aalteam.blogspot.com/ for those who hate people who torrlkk iienn thiishh wayy. Yeah, THAT'S RIGHT, a blog which speaks out from the bottom of my soul. Whatever I want to say about the Ah-Lianers are there. I proclaim it my second fav blog since my first fav is my own!! ^^
Okay, good night (or shud I say morning, since it's around 2.30 now)readers, love you all.
P.S Entry dedicated to Leon who has been chasing after me with a butcher's knife until I blog my entry (WHICH I HAVE, although its not complete). XD
