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

kissing crystal drops of the rain.
Lack of updates even though there's been alot happening lately.Firstly thanks to the people who wished me happy birthday one way or another - MSN, Facebook, SMS, etc. I didn't do this last year and a little bird told me that I should be more appreciative, and so I will. Here goes, and in no particular order of importance or time,

Happy finding your name. Sorry to those I left out, don't kill me. I'll thank the presents another day because apparently I haven't received all of them yet, though most of it have already been promoted to red packets. I'll spend them on clothes someday.. Banking in the money makes me feel sad because I don't know when I'll ever touch them again.
Of course I have to thank my mum and dad as well cause without them I wouldn't be here today. Yan Ying Sim - Made in New Zealand woooooo no wonder it's my favourite country. But I'll escape to New York when I grow up. Other than that, from them I got these: Tickets for MLTR's concert (best present in my 14 years of existence), tickets for Genee Award Ballet Competition, and guess what, a mini laptop. So small that it's just slightly longer than my elbow to wrist, very portable. Are you jealous now?
Also happy belated birthday to Junjie whom for months I didn't believe shared the same birthday as me. Study hard and get into express stream, grow taller, forget the girl, stay cute the way you are now don't become beng. Most importantly continue hugging your bolster!
5th September was out with SB, SJ, JF, Gerald and Alex, combined celebration with JF since his birthday was on 5th Sept. Caught "Where Got Ghost", average humour, and damn scary at some point. There was one part where this idiot snuck up to a ghost in the bathroom and the door suddenly opened and there was this ghost dripping blood and I screamed and buried my head into SB. She laughed, and I realised how much of a pussy I am. Again. Yeah it was just an average movie, abit of cheap laugh, wouldn't watch it again.
So it was a free movie treat + handmade card (I love those) from SJ as birthday present, a carebear and mirror from SB, and a bimbo pink furry bedroom slippers omg (from JF, Gerald and Alex?). Went to KFC after the movie and I shall officially announce popcorn chicken to be my favourite fast food item. Slacked around, went home.
Can't deny I wasn't at all disappointed, heh three out of five of you will probably get what I mean. Nevertheless it was still awesome to be able to hang out with you guys again, can't wait to do so after EOYs. (:
Hiphop, then grandparents' house for dinner. Epic eyebrow-plucking session, a room of females ranging from 5 to 43 year olds waiting to get their eyebrows sorted out. Xiao Jiu Mu's very pro at it!
6 September started from the midnight SMSes and MSN conversations, blasting MLTR on my radio, and singing at the top of my lungs over the phone. Things became more silent by three and 3.30 to 4am exactly was the best part of that day because I was smiling half an hour straight - funny how little things can make your day. Slept a little after five, woke up at one, drowned myself in MLTR all through the afternoon. Can't think of a better way to spend it. The spamming on my Facebook wall was really sweet, thanks again people. (:
Headed off to the temple at 6 for like 15 minutes (...) and then Palm Gardens' function room for a combined birthday celebration with my cousin. Haven't uploaded pictures for this one yet, soon will but I'm damn lazy to tag people.
Yay so anyway it was quite fun - my 14th and Jia Tian's 21st. Though I'm serious when I say I'll get myself totally drunk on my 21st. As usual the buffet was the most awesome part of it, and also the innovative thing my cousin planned, which was to pen down the best memories you've shared with her, and your birthday wishes for her on a piece of paper. In the end she read all of them out and some of the memories were hilarious, can't believe I've never heard of them before.
Blasting MLTR on my handphone and singing with Wan Ting..
Fail mugging with Shun Xiang and I did not even get a single line in.. Forget it man.
Yeah that's about all. The rest was pretty typical, can't say "catching up with relatives and cousins" because we just saw each other the night before. -_- Okay we did the kick 4D-number thing again which resembled a ritual, and my cousin and I kicked a 2469 which did not come out. Sadly.
So do I look exceptionally ugly in yellow?
7th September was outing at Vivo with girlfriends. Was late again, "very predictable", though I actually setted my alarm clock to like 9.30am (and 9.45 and 9.50, three alarms okay)? But alarms don't work on me so I fell back asleep and my mum ended up waking me up at 12.20. If she didn't I would have slept till like 2pm or something.
Reached the MRT station at 12.50 exactly. 30 minutes to prepare and get there, awesome or what? Grabbed some random shirt and shorts, washed up damn quickly, tied my hair on the car - it was possible. SC treated me coffee-flavoured bubble-tea because my present's not ready yet (I'm wondering wtf it is), didn't know there was this flavour. Long John Silver for lunch as usual, we have it every clique outing seriously, but I don't ever get tired of it something.
I did something very, very brave. Almost got bashed. First time w0rhxzxz. xD
Watched The Proposal, very lag but still.. Loved it! Not the best movie ever but the humour was good, the plot was cute, and it made us go "awww". They chose perfect people to play the roles - Sandra Bullock does look like a fierce bitch/ poisonous witch and Ryan Reynolds has a very cute innocent baby face. Albeit with a manly body. We didn't want to movie to end but it did. Okay what am I talking about of course movies end.
Afterwards we went to Sky Park for mass zilian-ing session and cut the cake without blowing candles or whatever. Because my mum said that belated birthdays cannot be celebrated. I suppose a cake would be fine without the candles right..? Please say yes. Anyway I think the pictures taken that day is our best set ever (the next is Vivo again after EOYs last year I suppose) because this time we had balloons to brighten up the entire picture and that really made alot of difference. We also kept toilet pictures to a minimum - wait I don't think we even took any in there.
In all we took 104 pictures, nevermind the failed jumpshots. IT WAS CRAZILY FUN. I love my girlfriends. ♥ Can't wait to go out after EOYs! Damn I dread that thing.
Somehow I really love the last one so I shall just include it!
Ballet at night was okay. YK passed me my present and made me unwrap it in front of her. She wrapped it with 14 wrappers so I only finished unwrapping them when I got home. -_- Must have taken up alot of time! Thanks for the chocolates though, yay for Cadbury!
8th September was going out with HR and gang. Okay you know what I'm just gonna dao whatever ZS said and just blog about it because it's too memorable. I'm gonna refer to Sean's blog on this: So on the night before BQ, JJ, Sean and Stan had like three chats running concurrently. One was the daily mass chat with everyone inside including HR and I, the second one without HR, and the third one without me.
So what they told me was when BQ cues 1, 2, 3 on that day we'll all say "Happy Birthday Hanrui" and whip out our presents for him (intentionally making me feel neglected). And in the other convo without me they told HR the exact opposite thing. So the real plan was that when BQ cues 1, 2, 3, everyone else is supposed to shut up except for HR and I who will say "Happy Birthday" to each other. Okay yes sounds good right, but we all know plans fail because of unparticipative people, or in this case "victims". Nevertheless it was still damn sweet and stuff.
Yeah and thanks Sean for proceeding with your mission "with utmost determination and flawless disguise", because the "the choco exotic cake, with (our) names engraved with cream" is good. And yes you are very pro at Dance Dance Revolution. Well basically we just took spoons and dug the cake and ate it like that, obviously it was messy but nevermind. Played racing car in the arcade, can't believe I even stepped into it. Bought new earphones because mine is spoilt, ended up spoiling it less than 2 hours later. Bloody horrible right? And my phone's auto restarting again even though it was just sent for repair days ago. I really cannot take care of gadgets.
Afterwards went to the library with YK for awhile, then went home. She is awesome I love her too. (:
So out of the 4 days I went out, 3 of them were combined birthdays - super cool, never had so many combined birthdays in a row before it was just awesome. This year's September holiday is like especially fun, not to forget the MLTR concert and Genee Award!

AHHH I'm thinking ballet like crazy now. MLTR's "Look Around" is playing and I'm subconsciously combining ballet steps with it in my mind. Very weird combination, I know, but ballet's not all slow. Should tell you a little bit about the Genee Award Semi Finals today.
We sat diagonally behind the judges! Because we went in quite late, there were barely other sets of five unoccupied seats together. So we just sat anywhere we could and what the hell it was like beside all those reserved seats and important people. It was supposed to be from 10am to 5pm but it ended early at about 3.30. Nevertheless still very long hours but I was awake the whole time despite sleeping for less than 6 hours yesterday.
I feel like cursing the people who bought tickets there to sleep.
If you're not serious then don't go. Sell, no, give the ticket to someone else who's really dying to watch it. And if you're not serious about ballet lessons then don't come either, can't you see that our patience is already wearing thin? I've been wanting to blog about this and I guess now's the perfect opportunity to do so. 1) Wearing your leotard plus a character skirt home is plain retarded, unless you want to get raped, if not please have the decency to at least slip a shirt over your leotard. You're 14, not 4.
2) Coming for lessons at 9pm when it starts at 8.30, giving stupid reasons like "eating dinner" and "playing basketball", does not make Miss Wendy happy at all. Yes, we'll remind her to lock the door next week when lesson starts. 3) Acting cute by feigning stupidity does not work - yes, I totally believe you can't differentiate between your thigh and calf muscles - and all it does is waste our time. 4) Bringing your guy friends up to the fifth level where we are practising our splits and dance steps piss us off big time because we respect a little privacy here. Hey, why don't you dance for them to see? Let's see if they'll applaud you. (:
Hopefully she doesn't see this or it'll be awkward sitting next to her in the finals (there's seating number for that one). If she sleeps I'm going to kill her. It's an $80 ticket. Not like you get to watch the Genee Award International Ballet Competition Finals everyday.
And going back to the topic. I'm really rooting for number 7, 28, 44, 54 and 55, who are Claudia Dean, Danielle Muir, Nicola Wills-Jones, Daniel Roberge, and Paul Russell respectively. Funny thing is that all five of them are from Australia. Hopefully they'll get through to the Finals. And Daniel Roberge looks super hot in the booklet, though it's not just that, because that eyecandy dances very well too.
Learnt a few new ballet terms today, understood most that were said fortunately. At least I got what was going on. Can't wait to watch the second round of semi-finals tomorrow!

Tag replies another day. There's alot to clear but unfortunately I want to sleep. Goodnight.
