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

vietnam.
PS, too lazy to align pictures to centre so just do with it. :]Vietnam Trip! :D
"Company Trip", apparently.
DAY 1
Tahaha. Woke up at 4am on Saturday morning, rawwrr half asleep all the way there. =/ Short flight only, so budget terminal will do.
Had breakfast over there, keep stoning hahaha.
My seal~!
Wei Ying meimei, very mature for a 4-year-old. ^^
160 kJ. (:
YZ & Shijie
Slept the entire flight! Arrived at Ho Chi Minh city's airport before noon I suppose. Parents went to change money, hahaha got a damn big shock.
!!!
S$8.69747 -.-
Me & Wei Ying
Second shock I got after the money thingum was THE AMOUNT OF BLOODY MOTORBIKES ON THE ROAD.
I swear you can barely see any cars around, and I swear the whole bloody road is infested with motorbikes of all shapes and sizes. It really looks like traffic jam, and I swear that I saw many family of 4s to one motorbike. AND I SWEAR ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO CROSS THE DAMNED ROAD!
I swear I've never seen so many motorbikes before, tahaha.
Isn't very horrifying in the picture cause the angle sucks. -.-
But I still feel very traumatized and I don't wanna go back there again. ):
After that we went to walkwalk at what, Diamond Plaza for half an hour. Daddy and XiaoJiu had coffee though. Anyway the place is similar to Paragon/Ngee Ann City, so there isn't much to see cause the price and stuff there are about the same anyway. =/
Yeah, smoking. -.-
Can you see the man behind it?
As in all the balloons tahaha.
Afterwards it was lunch, shall say I'm pretty satistfied with the meals for this trip. Cause all go to nice nice places! Cause if go to some noob place where everything is aged and yellowed I won't have the appetite to eat at all haha. Then go on tour lose weight. -.-
Menu in the form of a scroll.
Hmm after lunch, back to the airport again for a delayed flight to Nha Trang (some bay in Viet). Slept the entire flight again! Even though it's only around 35 minutes?
Since the flight was delayed, we didn't have time for city tour so there was much deliberating, and in the end we went to check in first, then go to Dam Market TO SHOP!!!
On the way to Yasaka hotel.
Bus-ed back to hotel, checked in and washed up for awhile before going to dinner. ♥ the suite room, it is uber shiok. Best thing is that it's facing the seaaa! (I can sense someone turning green. xD)
Zhizhi was nice enough to take this bed. (:
I sleep hereee. Join me? xD
Parents'.
Dam Market.
Bought a pair of (fake) Chanel sunglasses (which is gonna snap like, real soon) and a white/purple bag. My mum bargained the sunglasses from 320 000 VND to 85 000! Pro right! x]
Honestly, I just learnt how to enjoy bargaining. When I was younger I always sigh when my parents bargain cause it takes a damn long time to do so. But the satisfaction you feel after getting your ideal price is damn ^^.
Dinner was good too, tahaha. Had beer despite my mum's protests. :]
Smoking again...
Back to hotel, found out that the foot massage wasn't very costly so we decided to have it tahaha! 10 people cause Er Jiu, Er Jiu Mu, and Wei Ying went back to take a rest first.
My bro was being very gleeful cause got chio ladies in miniskirt massage our legs, rofl. -.-
Quite shuang overall, I feel asleep halfway through. =P
Went back up to hotel room, my bro showered first then me. Settled on a book "Sailing to Capri" by Elizabeth Adler soon after. Generally interesting I suppose, except that the beginning was a tad bit too draggy. Finished the book on the third or fourth day.
DAY 2
Cau Da Habour (wtf) after breakfast in the morn.
Very amusing Xiao Jiu!
Someone remind me to send him his pictures, hahaha. He bought a (fake) Adidas shirt for me so cannot break promise liao. =/
Me & Liyun. ^^
And yeah thats my (fake) Chanel sunglasses. =P
Transferred to a boat to some island to see some aquarium thing. I'm not interested in fishes TAHAHA.
See the black cloud of smoke in the middle? Very bad air pollution. ):
On the way.
Kinda got me there for a second, thought it was Hollywood. -.-
Aquarium pictureees! (Pretty dark though D:)
Back to the boat again, then went snorkeling! Very good experience, pretty scary as well. Wasn't fully convinced that there weren't any sharks in Viet. =/
And it was 6m deep down there tahaha!
Very amusing Er Jiu!
Kiasi people using floats!
Funnily enough, the adults were more terrified than the kids. Except my father who was the first to go down, the rest of them clinged for their lives at the ladder LOOOL. YES INCLUDING MY FIRST AND SECOND UNCLE, TWO GROWN MEN. ._.
My aunt and my mum used life jackets PLUS float. As if that wasn't enough ROFL!
After that we played Daidi on the boat, tahaha, the addiction!
Then went to shower, the shower place is very beautiful can! Very resort-ish, hahahah. Hmm lunch after that.
Seafood was really fresh, so that's good. ^^
Back to the boat for Nha Trang again.
Walking on bamboos.
Shadow on the boat~.
So anyway, halfway through dunno high tide or what, water came splashing in like uh?! Kept having to clean and recleaning my specs, rawwrr. ):
Tahaha~!
Nha Trang city tour!
The first place is idontknowwhatplace. :D
Tour guide, Tui!
Mummy looks very young in here, tahaha.
NOW I SHALL BE A SEANYY.
Next is some temple place. ._.
I kept staring at this house, idk why. ):
And guess what, a peek of New Zealand..
Then it was ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHURCH. See I know the name.
And then back to hotel again to wash up before dinner, but went to buy wine on the way. You wouldn't believe how cheap it is really, some of them are like cheaper than mineral water/same price, and they still taste really good! (Trust my tongue tahaha)
Some VERY tall Russian.
Zhizhi is 1.5m, so.. 2m?!?!
Wei Ying in the hotel~!
So adorable tahaha.
Dinner that night was my favourite meal over there I suppose, atmosphere was really, really beautiful can. Still got music tahahaha.
Enormous prawns.
Had some buggy ride thingum afterwards, motorbikes scared me again. Pissed and irritated by the incessant horns. Nothing to horn also must horn. Wtf. I didn't enjoy it. ):
Back to hotel afterwards, washed up and around 11+ alot of people came to drink wine/play card games. Haha I fell asleep while waiting zzz.
Quite fun lah, but I didn't win alot. ):
Remembered when I was in USA last year I like totally won 80% of the games lah. Somemore play with like 4 or 5 other people, and I was the youngest playing can! :D
*Ego moment*
*Ego moment over*
YAY. :D
Day 3
Mud-bath day!
Didn't get much pictures though, cause we were all either wet/covered with mud so yeapp. Anyway it was supposed to be shiok but I didn't really felt so because. I. Hate. Getting dirty. ):
AND WELL A MILLION OTHER PEOPLE FELT THEIR SKIN BECOME SMOOTHER AFTER THE MUD BATH BUT APPARENTLY MINE STAYED THE SAME. Or that I've lost my sense of touch. Tahaha.
But anyway, Thap Ba Hot Spring it is. The entire process + pictures over there tahaha!
Shower place?
Heh then I think it was check out after that, then lunch, then airport again to head back for Ho Chi Minh.
Lunch.
On the way.
Plane back to HCM was freaking small, it was like 2 seats one? And there were only two rows, so its like. 4 seats per column? OKAY VERY CONFUSING LALALA.
Check in hotel alr went to some temple thingum. Zzz.
Then Chinatown to SHOP!!! Bought a shirt and a pair of shorts? But the shorts really sucked, cause its like, not long not short. Ugliest.
Dinner.
What does this look like? xD
After dinner, went to Ben Thanh market to SHOP!!! with Daddy, YZ, Shijie and Xiao Jiu. My mum and the rest went back to rest, rofl. Bought one (fake) Adidas shirt for myself and another one for JF cause 5/9 is his birthday. Then I bloody well forgot to get 3 more for Peng HR and KL lol.
Was quite cool, the whole night market business. Didn't quite like the motorbikes though, zzz. ):
Found out that we changed hotel room after we got back. Cause the previous one really sucked ass.
Previous one was this:
New one was this:
Gahh I suck at taking pictures of rooms. But it was much more spacious and not as spooky as the previous one. :]
Found my uncles and dad and mum having tea after I showered. Apparently my Da Jiu was around in Viet too during that time for some exhibition stuff (he works in China though), so he came by to pay us a visit. How sweet hahaha. ^^
Played cards with Shijie and YZ again, seemed like luck wasn't on me again. Ah sigh.
Day 4
This day was mainly the visit to Cu Chi Tunnel (some tunnel they used to hide in during the war + exhibition stuff) and city tour, so expect lots and lots of pictures. :D
Oh yah anyway Cu Chi is pronounced "Ku Chi", but I kept hearing it as "Gucci". RAWWRR!
Haha oh yes and I went down the tunnel okay! Super hot and stuffy, I wanted to cry in there. And you have to like, squat to move or something cause you can't stand at all. My dad and some uncle were like panting really badly but me, zhizhi and shijie were still okay. Treasure our youths! :D
On the way there
Made by very tiny bits of eggshells. :O
Flattened pearl. ._.
Cu Chi Tunnel
Lunch, then the Reunification Palace which is the place where the old president stayed? Viet war period or something, lol. Honestly I think I live in a more comfortable place than him can, HAHAHA. xD
Lazy to state what the rooms are, so WHY DON'T WE PLAY A GAME, YOU GUESS THE NAME OF THE ROOMS! Sounds fun right. :D
Using carrots! Impressive right tahaha.
Homework against my lap, managed to complete like two compres during the Viet trip okay. Not bad hor. ^^
Reunification Palace.
To hold special dinners. ._.
For press conferences.
Most beautiful room in the place.
President's BEDROOM. Wtf right.
Their National Day is on 2nd Sept, so just nice..
War Remnants Museum
Mainly about the Vietnam war, yup.
Pulitzer Prize winning picture, the above.
Have never given much thought to photographers, only then did I learn that many of them died too in wars. Pretty amusing how I didn't bother to wonder where those pictures came from.
Notre Dame Cathedral
Central Post Office
Dinner and then Ben Thanh again! ♥
At Ben Thanh mainly we just spent the entire time camping at one shop, cause got chair to sit so my parents and aunts and uncles koped alot of stuff and bargained like siao. I think they spent around 2 hrs just at that shop hahaha, but really bought alot of things!
Wandered off with Xiao Jiu Mu and An Qi for abit, bought some random tank top and shorts and went back. Then camp in the shop sian alr wandered off again with shijie and bought spags which says "same same" in front and "but different behind". Wth right tahahaha. xD
Oh yah then he got scolded for wandering off cause his mum didnt allow him to. Nehneh!
Day 5
Last day, free and easy alr! Followed the adults to Ipa Nima to buy bags. My mum, auntie Sharron and Er Jiu Mu took a super long time to decide and deliberate, but in the end they still bought alot. -.-
IDK why my father and Er Jiu didn't get bored omfg.
There were some which were really hideous by the way. LIKE THIS.
Random~!
After they realized that there's only half an hour left before check out, we rushed to Pet Shop. ._.
Selected my birthday present from Er Jiu there, brought another blue handbag with that. The things there are super cute can! Then we bought alot of not-very-costly handphone pouches also so next time ppl's birthday can give. ._.
xD
Obviously we were late for check out, but yah. :D
Had lunch, back to airport, ate AGAIN!
Cappucino.
Erm then what. Byebye Vietnam, hello Singapore.
No diff man, weather equally hot.
What I bought in total. Jealous? :D
YAY I MANAGED TO CHIONG THROUGH THIS ENTRY. OMGWTF I SWEAR I BLOGGED THIS UBER FAST, well not considering the uploading of pictures which took days. ._.
