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

all hail facebook.
Seven Reasons Why Facebook is Rocking.Facebook is doing some amazing things – and it’s not just because it is a smart social network. Innovation is constant and is heavily influenced by Facebook members. As time goes by, Facebook is solidifying its grip on a very loyal userbase and attracting new members because…it’s just better.
Take a look at some of the data out there and it may just be the reason why we continue to see tremendous percentage growth (Compete.com estimates that compared to this time last year, Facebook visits are up 127%).
So, without further adieu, here are seven reasons why Facebook is rocking:
1. Privacy
Facebook’s success starts with it being a clean, secure, and stable environment. Basically, it is the opposite of MySpace.
Facebook puts the user in control, allowing them to limit specific pieces of information they want to share within their various networks. In fact, there are so many privacy controls that it is a bit overwhelming at first.
2. News and Mini-Feeds
You might have heard about the backlash to Facebook’s News and Mini-Feeds when they first arrived. Essentially, these feeds show updates from a user’s networks on his/her homepage: ”Mike and Bill are now friends”, “Michelle posted a link.”, “April tagged Jen in a photo”, etc.
I would argue that feeds are now the defining feature of Facebook. It is what keeps users logging in, expanding their networks (e.g., Mike sees that Bill became friends with Andy and knows Andy too, so then he connects with him), and more generally being active on Facebook. Feeds keep Facebook fresh; their absence on MySpace makes it stale and boring.
3. Status Updates
If you are a fan of Twitter (or know anything about it), then Facebook Status Updates are right up your alley – except they are smarter.
While I like the idea of Twitter, sharing “what you are doing” with everyone in the world doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. But what if you could share your status with a subset of trusted friends? Status Updates are Twitter 3.0 (yes, two versions ahead of it).
4. Mobile
Of course, Status Updates couldn’t be compared to Twitter unless mobile updates were available. And they are. But in addition to updating your status, you can post links to your profile and get info about your friends – all via text message commands.
There is also a very sleek mobile version of Facebook available at http://m.facebook.com. Try pulling MySpace (or most websites) up on a mobile device…not pretty.
5. Near Unlimited Photo Storage / Advanced Photo Editing
While MySpace is out buying Photobucket, Facebook allows near unlimited photo storage on its site. Each album is limited to 60 pictures but there is nothing indicating the maximum number of albums a user can have.
Facebook also allows people to “tag” photos. See your friend Sally in a photo? Tag that portion of the photo and it will get associated with her. You can even view all photos tagged with “Sally” (users can remove the tags if they don’t want them on the photos).
Check out the most recent post on the Facebook Blog – Facebook Photos Infrastructure.
6. Facebook Marketplace
Yes, it is true that MySpace has this sort of functionality (i.e., a classified section). But in Facebook, you leverage privacy and perhaps more importantly, benefit from targeted listings. Items are posted into networks, so it makes them easier to find and more relevant. Classifieds do not work as well unless they are geographically based.
7. API
The Facebook Developer Platform allows interested parties to build on top of Facebook. Picture Facebook as the Salesforce.com of the social networking world.
Facebook’s Firefox Toolbar is one very cool example of what you can do with it. And I’m certain more powerful examples are yet to come. If you don’t want to take my word for it, maybe you’ll listen to the WSJ (Facebook Opens Its Pages As a Way to Fuel Growth).

The Facebook Song
I wouldnt call myself a social butterfly
and theres not much that separates me from the other guy
but when I login I begin to live
Theres an online world where I am king
of a little website dedicated to me
with pictures of me and a list of my friends
and an unofficial record of the groups that Im in.
Before the internet friendship was so tough
you actually had to be in peoples presence and stuff
who wouldve thought that with a point and a click
i could know that Hope Floats is your favorite flick (harry connick jr. ?)
Facebook (Facebook)
Im Hooked on Facebook
I used to meet girls hangin out at the mall, now I just wait for them to write on my wall.
(its more than a want, its more than a need; id schrivel up and die without my minifeed)
Take a look. (Youre Hooked) on facebook.
oh Link's status changed. it says hes playing the recorder....
how do you know this person?
did you hook up with this person?
do you need to request confirmation?
or did you just think they looked cute..from their picture on facebook?
if the internet crashed all across the land
or my facebook account was deleted by the man
Id carry around a picture of my face
and a summary of me typed out on a page
Bye, I'm going to play Typing Maniac. And then everyone shall see me at the top few ranks and go like, "Hey! Isn't this that Yan Ying who-"
All hail Facebook.
/edit
I haven't felt this pissed off for a very long time. You know when someone pisses you off that badly, your blood seriously boils with rage, you want to hurl all kinds of vulgarities at that person, you feel uncontrollable, and for me my feet turns cold too (weird). Also when I get really angry I want to cry very, very badly.
My anger had to constantly increase for about 3 hours. Sometimes you get to storm right out of the situation which pissed you off, but for me I couldn't. I think it's just my stupidity that I have to get it done one way or another or I can't have a peaceful sleep tonight. To think that I was even relishing at the thought of sleeping at 8pm, since there's no homework to be rushed today or whatsoever.
At 35 I was banging on my keyboard, at 25 I was on the verge of tears, at 15 I gave up and went to Google. Even with the walkthrough at the later parts I still took a total of, say, 2 hours and 45 minutes to complete this damned game. Actually I think I pissed myself off.
