Smoke gets in your eyes.
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.Tag

Reflections of 2007
This entry is abit too late, should be blogged yesterday, but I was out the entire day. ):During the disco I had at the Warren countdown party, memories of 2007 flashed vividly through my mind, every single piece as fresh as just yesterday.
Year 2007 has indeed been a year of up and downs for me, a year filled with countless smiles, laughters and tears. Bringing forth all those priceless memories, I've now stepped into my teen years, hand in hand, with all my friends.
Life will be different. My Yew Tee uniform is now tucked safely at the back of my closet, my Nanyang uniform in its place. Tomorrow I'll step out of my bedroom looking different, different from every weekday for the past 6 years.
I won't be able to face those wonderful 6D classmates and Miss Lin everyday, however much I miss them. But we have to move on, make the best of our secondary school years, and Miss Lin will have to take on another class and love them just as much as us.
&&&...No more sitting at the Guys' Table during recess.
I love those friends I've made in YTPS. Whenever I'm depressed and demoralized about a score which didn't meet my expectations, they would crack totally out-of-the-world jokes just to cheer me up, just for my sake.
I'll miss Siew Boon, my bestest friend in the entire world, the one who loves me for who I am. She's always quick to point out my mistake, and no matter how blunt, tactless, straightforward she might be, she's doing it for me, to help me improve myself.
We have had arguements, of course. I'd say it had been both ways, sometimes she had been a bitch and sometimes it had been me. Soon, however, our anger would fade, and what's left is nothing but our unbreakable friendship.
There had been happy days where we'd sing together, every song we knew so well. Of course there were too, sad days where she'd cry into my arms, and I'd cry into hers.
She had always been there for me, to lend me a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, and a hug whenever I needed one.
I'll miss Shao Jun, my bestest guy friend in the entire world, the one I spent long hours talking over the phone with. Talking about really pointless and random things, really.
Like SB, he's never hesitant to point out my flaws and is always honest in his views and opinions.
Well sometimes he can be rather confusing too. At times he can be so reasonable and mature, at others he can simply act like a 5 year old kid.
And yes, he niaos me so hellishly helly I once daoed him for a few days. Until he apologized. (:
However, he had been a really good friend. I remembered I once cried over all the Math Olympiad stuff, as I had been unable to catch up with it while everyone else could. SJ had been the one who comforted me most, talked and sorted things out with me. He was the type who didn't want to see a friend cry, the type that treasures all his friends' smiles.
I'll miss Jing Feng, one of my best friends, the one who never complains or get irritated with me. He's cute and likeable by others, sometimes we can't help it but treat him as a younger brother.
However, he is really an extraordinary younger brother. He settles most disputes between us (as in in our clique), usually the most infamous Shao Jun and Alex disputes. And yes, that's when they both act like mindless 5 year olds.
JF makes more sensible judgements than the rest of the guys, and his studies is somewhat slightly better than the rest of them.
&&&...he NEVER niaos me. (:
I'll miss Gerald, one of my best friends too, perhaps the most emo one?
Whole day emo about Siew Boon...So I emo with him about Fatfish, then one day change to 77. -.-
Yeah, he might just be the classmate I smsed most with. Him, or Jing Feng. Though somewhat quiet, Gerald's still a really really great friend.
And his damn pathetic act-cute face always makes me laugh so hard. Not that it's a total failure, it's just too cute to be true. (:
Oh yah, we always take advantage of his nice-ness and STEAL HIS CHICKEN. Ok, not what you're thinking. It's actually the fact that he keeps buying chicken rice from the Malay store, then the guys + me will bully him and steal the slices of chicken on his plate.
I'll miss Alex, one of my best friends as well, the one who's completely retarded. Extremely Outgoing. TOTAL, ABSOLUTE, FULL-TIME JOKER-CRAPPER.
Ohmygod I don't know exactly HOW and WHERE to start with Alex Tan Jian Quan. It's like, one look at his face, you see this impish figure staring back.
He likes people to have fun. Like, when sometimes I'm not really in the mood for a game, he will go, "Yan Ying...为什么你不要玩?!?! 玩啦,快点去!!!"
He is like the most effective person in cheering people up?
However...He is the most effective person in making girls cry as well.
EXCEPT ME. Seriously. EXCEPT ME. (:
Once JF and I were really emoing over our extremely sucky results then he kept trying to make us laugh - Although his results weren't that good either. I can remember the joke he told which cracked us up, TOTALLY.
Actually thinking about it isn't so funny, but him saying it sounded like it was hilarious.
He is hyperactive. Sometimes so hyperactive that he annoys the crap out of me.
But I still love you for leaving me with no choice but to laugh my ass off, even when I'm sad.
I'll miss Yoke Kay. She used to be as good a friend as SB, but competition drew us apart. The further we stepped into our 2007 lifes, the further we drew apart. She wanted to compete with me in everything, in Academics, Sports, and Dance.
However the fact was lain before our very eyes. Who won, who lost. It had been clear.
Before that she had been a really great friend. I mean it. She was just so helpful in everything. (:
I'll miss Kar Mun, my strongest competitor.
However nice she is (which is very), it can't be helped that I feel really inferior when being around her, cause she's such a genius. That's why there's really no surprise when she topped YTPS with a 279+3.
KM never fails to offer help if someone has difficulty with their work. In conclusion, she's a very nice girl.
However she might be too competitive with me sometimes. As in, she keeps asking how much I scored. Truth is I'm killing to know her score too. :P
I remember there was once we daoed each other cause of some...Actually I can't really remember. But then I said sorry to her and she said sorry too.
There were good times as well, like when we borrowed each other's compo files to photocopy and do assessments together. (:
I'll miss Geng You and Julia Lim, my deskies. Geng You had been sitting and tolerating me for the whole of p5 and Julia for the whole of p6. (:
P5 was really really a coincidence. First day in class random seating, I sat with GY. Then changed place two or three times after that, and I kept sitting with him again. -.- Then there was this "Math Pro" nickname which we can't help but keep calling each other. -.-
I wasn't sitting with him when his father passed away, but I felt very sad for him.
And Julia was simply amusing. Like she can't stop complaining about her little sister then I was there ROFLing.
I'll miss Joanna, Tricia, Pamela, Jia Ling...Mainly for the disputes I had with them. ><.
Wah so many people. O.O
I'm rather shocked, considering the fact that I don't really have any enemies now.
I'll miss Sim Yan Ting, my dear "sister". (:
No doubt the sweetest and most angelic girl in 6D. It's impossible, just impossible, not to like her.
I'll miss some extraordinary people in 6D, like the trouble makers: Amos, Nicholas, Daryl. And others like Lee Jia Ying and Daniel. Cause without them 6D would be peaceful, but REALLY boring.
Also other good friends like Carrissa, Odelia, Xi Mei, Samuel.
Lastly...I'll miss Fatfish. I really, really will. (:
He might not realise it, but he has taught me alot. I won't elaborate on this, kind of a touchy yet natural topic. (:
And it's clear that he's probably the guy who left me with most memories during my primary school years.
Ah ok. Actually I miss everyone alot, but the above are just the few extraordinary ones in my life.
-------------------------------------------------
I can remember, at the start of 2007 I felt a mix of emotions, dread, anxiousness, excitement. I didn't know if I could handle everything and achieve success.
But my goal had been clear. Nanyang Girls High. (:
Everyone knew that. As in every single classmate, cause I freak out at the slightest mention of NYGH.
The year had been tough. Looking back now, I sincerely feel proud of myself for not giving up and pulling through this tough ordeal.
It seems rather unbelievable to the now-slacking-me that I once attended around 8 tuitions a week, on top of all the heavy schoolwork, supplementaries, CCAs, assessments (altogether I did slightly more than 20, but I'm sure KM did twice as many), testpapers which were stacked mountain-high...Sigh.
Ok. I had been a serious mugger. (:
And it also seems unbelievable that I still had time for basketball and computer. I used the comp so damn much that it crashed thanks to overheating. -.-
Can remember I usually mugged at night. Like really late into the night. On schooldays I slept at 1+ and during holidays it had been 4, 5+.
Actually not totally to mug. Computer served as a serious distraction, really.
There had been days I felt completely hopeless, depressed, demoralized, and didn't have the mood to study at all...But with the help of Miss Lin and my friends, I pulled myself together, focused on my goal, and chionged again. (:
At the beginning of the year I had been really unstable. I was really filled with desire and couldn't balance my life properly. With KM, I had been chionging like mad, doing assessments whenever I could. Very kiasu, I know.
I remember there was this CA1 Math paper I scored 95 for, and I cried buckets. Had been because it wasn't up to my usual standard (wth now I think I'm mad), and I didn't top class like I always did in P5.
Then Miss Lin err. Counselled me.
Walao this is damn screwed.
After my CA1 (which was rather disappointing), I enrolled myself in more tuitions (at that time I had two). Then when the new Math tutor knew of my results, he was like saying, "Get 95 why still enrol in tuition?! Cannot everytime expect 100 one!" ROFLROFLROFL.
At the middle of the year I somehow slacked abit. Actually slacked quite alot. Somedays I would just do my school homework, and that's it.
Then there had been this day which this piece of paper really caught my eye. And shook me awake.
It had been my source of motivation...I printed it out at the beginning of the year and pasted it on the wall in front of my study desk, so I could see it everyday. It was also pasted behind my toilet door so I knew exactly what I could do after my bath, and also on my file. (:
I was that despo and crazy.
Abit embarrassing, now thinking of it.
Had been many memorable days..
The top three most memorable ones (in no order):
-The day NYGH called my mum to tell her I had to go for the second (and final) round of selection for the DSA.
-The day I opened the DSA confirmation letter, and my HCI cousin had been at my house at that time. So I was screaming, "YAY OMG I'M STUDYING OPPOSITE YOU NEXT YEAR!!!!!!"
>< Haha I had been uber duper happy.
-The day I received my PSLE results. =))
Contradictory, My PSLE days had been damn depressing. After taking the English paper, my mood totally changed. I had made so many mistakes that I turned supersuper emo. Well Shuin Jian had been my source of comfort. Thanks alot. I really mean it. (:
I couldn't communicate with my p6 friends; I was shutting them away from me. I had been really afraid they would say things like, "Oh, the paper was easy."
Out of 5 papers, 3 totally screwed me. English, Math and Science. It had been weird that Chinese and HCL made me smile, since I hated Chinese like hell. But the papers had been easy.
Worse paper was no doubt Science...Booklet A had been fine, but Booklet B had been a total disaster. I was holding my pen, my hand really trembling, and I didn't have an idea what to write. But time was short, so I wrote whatever I could to simply fill the lines. And I finished 7 minutes before the time was up.
After my PSLE days, I somehow met alot of 2E people? And got rather close to the class. I have no idea how and why.
The one I'm closest to is OBQ.
CONTINUE READING!
...And I would like to make it superuber clear here that we're nothing more than good friends. And, sometimes enemies. (:
Cause sometimes his niaoing really piss me off like mad. Sometimes so mad that I could kill him? Yeah.
The first day I knew him didn't go well. Actually it went so badly I had to dao him. -.-
Also got a few other close ones lah. Pinetree, Sean, etc.
Hmm okay.
My bed is awaiting.
I can see my NY uniform beaming at me.
I guess that's about all for 2007.
Most likely the most eventful year of my life. And my favourite year so far, too. (:
