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

byebye 2008.
“时光荏苒，2008很快就要结束了。在这365个日日夜夜里，我到底都做了些什么呢，又留下了些什么呢？寻找脑海里的记忆，片片的零碎，回想起这一年的中一学习生活，实在令我百感交集。今年做的事情很多，有些对，有些错，有些明智，有些愚不可及，然而不管是对是错，2008年都已事过境迁，无法挽回，现在最重要的是往前看。”Once again I’m not blogging the last entry of my 2008 year in Chinese that’s for sure, god knows how long I’d take to do that. Just an introduction from the作文 to scare you. You know, I really feel relieved that I’m not cramming all my “unspeakable noun” into the last few days of the hols – how dreadful that would be – and instead spread my homework over the weeks.
So 2008 is finally going to be over, so fast yet so slow. It was a relatively challenging year, uneventful, mostly okays and downs, ups weren’t as much as last year definitely. I have a feeling this is going to be a rather wordy entry, and I’m starting off by “appreciating” people.
Best girl friends you can’t do without, Shichun and Jiaying.. People who taught me how to zilian, how to go high~, and induced some “fashion sense” and a tad bit of feminism in the used-to-be-very-boyish me. Thoroughly enjoyed those shopping trips and outings, although there weren’t a lot but I still really looked forward them, especially our trademark lunches at LJS. And all those MSN chats and lovely tags too, much loves.
And then there’s Iffera, Ling An, and Regine, my desk partners who have since learnt to tolerate my unpredictable moodswings. I’m totally aware that when I’m PMS-ing/feeling pissed off they know better than to talk to me because I can be about the most intimidating person they’ve ever seen in their life. But then when I’m high and guailan they can laugh until they’re out of breath, cause I like making people laugh. x]
Wanli, Eleen, Ellen, Jiale, with the ability of going crazy with me also. I’ll most probably turn into some I-hate-my-life person without all those high and ridiculous moments in class and as you know, it’s already pretty hard to survive in 102. Heh and there’s a lot more, Hilary, Yue Ling, Shu Min, Klara, Sandra, Shuyi, Bernie, Cheryl...
Yay and then there’s Theatre Club Nanyang!! Especially EMO-batch, Nicole, Shumin, Melissa, Sixian, Shuhui, Daphne, Amanda. I swear this is one of the very very few thing I like about school, enjoyed most of the CCA sessions even though for this year we had to do quite a lot of “energy-consuming” stuff and got told off quite a lot for slacking. Marigolds, Scarlet First Instalment, Scarlet Final Instalment – all of them were very good experiences and I’ve learnt quite a lot from them, ranging from backstage to commitment and passion. There’s still much more to discover so I’m really looking forward to the next three years in TCN, especially next year which is SYF year.
Hmm and then you have CJY, WX, TKL, my recent bitch partners. It’s always nice to know that there are people you can go to and bitch and complain all you want, cause most of the time they agree with you AND add on to your bitching, plus they won’t judge you for all of that. Also YK, SB, SJ, JF, Gerald, Alex, Samuel, Andrew, for the occasional meet-ups/random chats on MSN, and this is cheesy but for the memories too.
OBQ, JJ, HR, Sean, Pinetree. Heh another year with the siao zha bor. x] Hmm and a lot of others, Poochy, Feelout, LOSPY, well...my family and relatives - mummy especially, for sending me to school everyday - though no words are needed for this one. (:
Oh yes and how could I forget, my husbands and boyfriends! Pardon my scandalousness tsktsk.
Husbands: Computer, W980 and Eric Cartman. FYI I have upgraded W980 to be listed under “husbands” cause he has been rather faithful and loyal so far. I’m dependent.
Boyfriends: Kenny McCormick, Jiang Zhi Shu, Gong Yoo, Peter Facinelli, Liu Yi Dao.
How do I live without you(s).
I’m also very thankful for ballet and piano lessons, cause to me they aren’t stressful stuff and they take my mind off the typical school/CCA worries. I have no intention of giving either up anytime soon; ballet lessons are when I get hyped up and go mad, yet at the same time enjoy the dancing even if it’s only for an hour (during non-exam periods). And like always, Friday night piano marks the end of the school days so it was pretty much a breather as well.
Secondly, I’ll recap my resolutions for 2008. Somehow I’ve got a bad feeling about this HAHA.
1) Improve/Maintain spine curve
Wow like why is this first lol. 40 degrees to 38 degrees, little but still not bad.
2) Pass 2.4km
With an ‘A’, which was miraculous, because my timing for 1.6 last year couldn’t have been worse.
3) Get at least 23 points for Napfa
25.
4) Master Algebra
...What?!
5) Write a good story (in English)
Couldn’t find the time for this old hobby of mine, now it’s just scraps of short ones.
6) Read at least one Chinese book
I didn’t even finish reading my Chinese textbook. (:
7) Do a split
Hopeless case, it more of got worse. Apparently I’m aged and old.
8) Pull up standard in ballet, since it dropped in P6
I don’t know if a distinction in Grade 5 counts, but the rest of the year I just slacked like anything.
9) Play Chopin’s Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2
I totally forgotten about this one.
10) To stop slacking in front of my computer so much
Sometimes there are some seriously impossible things in this world, even though some people say “nothing is impossible”.
11) To stop offending people so much/be much more sensitive
Well... Not really?
12) To be more gentle and feminine (what the hell)
Definitely not the first. There was some character change somewhere, but definitely not that.
13) Steer clear of BGRs
I've have sense in me. On second thought, not really. Refer to above lmao.
Lol I'm totally fail can. 4 out of 13.
Thirdly I was just scanning through entries in the past year and laughing at some horribly retarded stuff. Especially January-March which were weird and either super EPD (an unofficial emo disease) or super fake act high, but the thing is I don’t remember what’s my problem. It was totally not myself and it wasn’t as if I just broke up/was going to die superglueing my eyes ears nose mouth shut. -.- But well, it was good looking from the overview. Perhaps a year later I will be reading my recent entries too and laugh, you never know.
April was weird. May-July was the period of long entries, pretty normal, emoticon-ish, and quite funny reading them as well. A couple of flaming parts and _______ fonts here and there, a lot of hilarious 102 stories also! August was Scarlet-y, September was normal, October-December was more of recent stuff, EOYs and spam slacking.
When school reopens I’m definitely going to miss going out. With reference to my calendar, there’s only three days of December that I don’t step out of my house at all – December was so eventful I don’t know how I’m going to tune back to school life. And I made a total of 8 trips down to the cinema after EOYs.
Fourthly, change. There were some stuff I’ve taken interest in this year, especially shopping, camping in front of the TV after EOYs watching drama serials, and gaping at hot celebrities/falling in love with fictional characters with the exception of Edward Cullen. I swear these ain’t good stuff. With regards to shopping, in my life I have never spent so much money like I did this year, or is this crazy about clothes, shoes and bags. And hair and figure T-T. As for the second, it’s a waste of electricity and an effective method to gain weight, and the third is mad.
This sounds a hundred and one percent cheena-muggerish, but I’ve kind of cultivated my interest in ancient and modern China by quite a bit thanks to He Laoshi my Chinese tutor. Used to know zilch about it and never realized that it is so amazing, and even the word “amazing” is a lot underrated.. Unbelievable but I actually hope to get into BSP, although that would be stuff that matters in another year’s time.
I’ve stopped singing in showers.
I’ve also became more daring, which is a bad thing cause I’m daring enough.
And I’ve became more sensitive and prideful. I guess this one is especially prominent, if you think back and count the number of things I’ve said and done out of pride and sensitivity. There is more than just a lot I realize, as well as the amount of people I’ve hurt with rash words that usually don’t get past my mind before it reaching my mouth. But given my character that is inevitable, regrets and more regrets.
“Now there were some terrible seeds on the little prince’s planet – namely those of the baobab tree. The soil of the planet was infested with them. And a baobab, if you tackle it too late, can never be got rid of afterwards. It clutters everything. It will bore right through a planet with its roots. And if the planet is too small, and if the baobabs are too numerous, they will finally make the planet explode.” - The Little Prince.
Yet at the same time, I’ve gotten more self-conscious, and being over self-conscious doesn’t make you a very happy person. ):
Lastly, 2009 resolutions. I’m turning 14 next year so let’s have 14 then, but I’m also keeping some from 2008. Zomg I’m 14 next year haha.
1) STOP DROPPING MY PHONE. (and abusing it by flipping the cover whenever I’m bored)
2) SPLIT!
3) Improve/maintain spine curve.
4) 27 points for Napfa.
5) Gold/GwH for SYF’09.
6) Mug more.
7) Stop procrastinating.
8) Read at least 10 English novels and a Chinese book.
9) SAVE 很多很多 $$$. I WANT AT LEAST $700.
10) GROW TALLER. (and stop cheating by wearing high heels)
11) ...Lose a couple more pounds.
12) Sleep early (I can hear people whooping with joy and relief).
13) Steer clear of BGRs (overrated stuff).
14) Bitch less, be nice.
But somehow.. I don't really have a good feeling about 2009. I hope my intuition sucks. (:
“总而言之，这一年来的学习生活苦乐参半，学到的东西也只能算是皮毛罢了。希望在新的一年里卯足全力，加倍努力，多往图书馆里钻，做个优异的南中学生。”
PS. The latter part of the last line is so obviously not true.
