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

of memories and songs.
Hello world. I'm really feeling very pissed off, but anger needs to controlled. So I shall attempt to blog this out in the most rational way possible.Last week I was having a chat with a friend about how often we tend to attach memories to songs, colours and images too, or perhaps a certain period of our life. For example when I listen to "My Love" by Westlife I think of the colour blue, and the image that forms in my mind is that a of a sky, same as the image that formed back then when I was five. As for "25 Minutes" it's the colour purple and a church. When I listen to Carpenter's "Top of the World" I remember the carefree days of my childhood (wow I sound really old) when I would karaoke it, same for "Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You" but this one I think of my parents too cause it's their wedding song of some sort. When I listen to "Wake Me Up When September Ends" and "Take Me Home Country Roads" it gives me a country image, grasslands and the wind and all, nostalgic feeling. There are a few other songs that go here, the most special songs like "When I Dream About You", and this definitely includes MLTR, Air Supply, Bread, etc and all the oldies as well.
Haha this is fun, shall continue with the smaller stuff. When I listen to "I'm Not Missing You" or "Sexyback" or "London Bridge" or "A Public Affair" or "Promiscuous Girl" I think of P5 when I would camp infront of the TV which would be showing MTV. When I listen to "Dang Ni Gu Dan Ni Hui Xiang Qi Shei" and "Wo Deng Ni" I'll think of a stupid crush I had back in P5. When I listen to "Kong Qiu Qian" or "Xuan Lv" or "Zhu Ti Qu" I think of P6 and PSLE and tons of tuitions per week and random rebellious singing sessions with YK SB Odelia Carrissa during Chinese lessons. "Tokyo Drift" reminds me of P6 as well cause it's the alarm I wake up to every morning, "Ting Ma Ma De Hua" cause it's the first song I learnt how to rap under the influence of SJ, JF, Gerald, Alex, etc, and actually there are alot of songs under Primary 6 cause it was indeed a very memorable year.
When I listen to "See You Again" by Miley Cirus I'm reminded of all the determined running I did after school in sec one cause it's the song I listen to while I ran, when I listen to "Pu Gong Ying De Yue Ding" and "Shan Hu Hai" I'm reminded of a period back last year, when I listen to "New Age Girl" or "Love Stoned" I think of Lifeskills Camp'08. "Eleanor Rigby" and "Norwegian Wood" reminds me of Scarlet and TCN'08♥. When I listen to "Come a Little Closer" I'll think of December hols last year cause the song's from a drama serial I watched during the holidays.
When I listen to "Mad World" I think of American Idol Season 8, "Always Be My Baby" of Season 7. When I listen to A-mei songs I think of my mum, "Pokerface" of my dad cause he's addicted to playing Poker on Facebook, "Thunder" by Boys Like Girls of my brother cause he couldn't stop singing it last year, songs by Bryan Adam I think of my maid cause just like me she loves those songs especially much too. "A Thousand Miles", "Everywhere" etc I think of BQ cause they're his favourite songs, songs by Dream Theater and Metallica obviously reminds everyone of Edgar, songs by Xandria and Nightwish of Leon, and recently when I see "Jai Ho" I think of SC, and tango songs remind me of her too. Yiruma songs I'm reminded of Hilary, Spirited Away songs of HR, "Because You Loved Me" of JY because she used it as one of her blog songs before and I really loved it.
Southpark soundtracks I JUST LAUGH, Rihanna songs of KL, Jay Chou songs of CJY, M2M songs of SB cause we always sing those together back in P6, "Mr Q." of YK, "Lips of an Angel" of Pinetree, "Loving You" by Minnie Rippleton of NGP zomg, "Tim Mcgraw" of a senior whom I don't talk to now already but anyway I sent her that song last year and she loved it almost immediately, "Shi Fei Ti" of Sean, "Crawling Back To Me" of my cousin WT, "Fergalicious" of YC, "Violet Hill" of Sixian, BBT songs of Nicole, Adam Lambert songs of Shuhui, Allison Iraheta songs of Bernie, "Sha Shou" I think of myself and my 'sadisticism' LOL, "Dancing Queen" of Miss Swan who's some comedian, and a whole lot more.
and then there was one.
Haha those were in random order cause I just typed whatever that came into my mind. I think some of you are gonna be like WTF why does that particular song reminds me of you haha.
Okay well but sometimes we attach bad memories to songs too. Which is one of the reasons for me being so pissed off in the first place. I'm not fuming that badly now after typing the above out cause most of them are happy memories, but still I'll tell you. Okay this is damn lame but apparently someone I'm not particularly fond of likes a song I really really really really really love and so now I attach bad memories of that person to this very beautiful song. And it's not the first time. So I'm feeling very pissed off with that person. Resop. YES THAT'S ALL. THAT'S THE REASON WHY I'M PISSED OFF and it's very funny. Oh yeah and this reminds me, I have to give some recognition to "If" by Bread, cause it's such an amazing song yet some stupid music teacher went to ruin it by making a shit version of it on Garbage Band which sounded absolutely horrible.
I'll blog family chalet tomorrow!
And this if "If" by Bread back from the 70s, enjoy.
"If" - Bread
If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to know.
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
You're all that's left me too.
And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour yourself on me.
If a man could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you.
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you.
And when the world was through,
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
Then you and I would simply fly away.
