Today's post will bring bad news.

My maternal grandfather passed away this morning. I'm tired and I don't know what to update.

May you rest in peace, Tok. We all loved you, in our own little ways. And I hope you knew that.

St James Power Station called me today. I'm starting work there next week.

You raise me up.
So I can stand on mountains
You raise me up
To walk on stormy seas
I am strong when I am on your shoulder
You raise me up
To more than I can see

Today was an excellent day.

1) The laptop was home.
2) I am /almost/ done with Prison Break Season 1
3) Taufik Hidayat beat Lin Dan for the gold medal in Doha 2006
4) I am going for the Muse concert in Jan.

The Taufik thing really pumps me and makes me wanna play badminton all over again. hurhur. I think I should keep videos of Taufik vs Lin Dan games. They amp me more than any other kind. Heh. Except when it's Sigit Budiarto and Chandra Wijaya but they don't play together no more. Sigh.

MUSE!!! oh MUSEEE!!! They'll be in Singapore in Jan! How E-X-C-I-T-I-N-G! Much love! And I am GOING. Going you hear me? If I can't go for Rain's for some good girlish screaming, I'll go for Muse's for some good hard old school MOSHING and bellowing!

Gennie will you be in Singapore then? 16th Jan. Hope all is well with your debating. <3

Hoho. I suddenly have this huge urge to blog. Why? I dunno but it's there so here I am.

...

Why am I even explaining? -_-"

Anyway, I'm so pleased my sister has finally brought home her laptop so I can watch my K-dramedies to while away time. It has been rather boring at home and because I don't feel like it, I haven't been out since the pseudo-date.

Her laptop being home means I can also watch the dvd-rs that Albert (bless his kind-hearted soul) has burned for me as well. I've watched four episodes of Prison Break from where I left off on TV and I'm estatic and absolutely on the edge of my seat with excitement. Why I've only stopped at 4? Well I had to go grocery shopping so I reluctantly stopped.

I popped over to Lot 1's TS Laser before heading off to the supermarket. The K-drama DVDs they sell make it a favourite hangout of mine and there... I am pleased to gloat I saw the Goong DVD going for $49.90 $39.90. That's right. Ten whole dollars off! With an additional 20% discount! Here I am gloating in a blackhearted manner because I had enough restraint to not buy Goong as I know the price will drop and well TADAH!!! It has. I have however, decided that I shall not buy it just yet as I believe though the price is not going to fall any further, that the stock is more plentiful. And because the ending really really blows.

However, with good news comes bad news. Which Star Are You From (starring my baby Kim Rae Won) has not come out with the DVD version I prefer. And here my dilemma arises. I have a $5 voucher that expires tomorrow and I am reluctant to buy WSAYF before my preferred version comes out and yet I do not know which other DVD I would like to buy. Right now, I have 3 choices...

1) Princess Lulu
2) My Love Patzzi
3) Only You

However, all of them are priced only at $39.90 which means I would not get another $5 voucher and there it bums me. However, I believe all of them also has a 20% discount and!!! I have the members card from TS Laser. Sooooooooo. I believe I might just decide on the spot and see which one jumps out at me.

Gennie has briefly described Only You to me before. It's a Kim Sam Soon-like story where the protagonist is a chef. Princess Lulu... Well, I have never /heard/ anyone's opinion but reviews online are not bad. My Love Patzzi stars my baby Kim Rae Won, and is also something I have only watched halfway on TV. Sigh... decisions decisions.

I am, of course, secretly pleased that this is the hardest dilemma I have to make in days to come. I'm positively brimming with joy at the prospect of buying another DVD.

Perhaps I shall open up a rental of my K-dramedies. Heh. I have a whole library of it already. Which of course means I must clear a space for me to place all my k-dramedies. Cleaning the house has been quite.. well.. SLOW. Partly because of weather, largely because I am procrastinating and dreading the job. Personally I don't get why I am even bothering since none of the other members of this household not bringing home the bread (read: my sister) don't even want to clear the clutter and mountain full of laundry that "they" (read: she) have. Sigh. But I seriously don't like living in a clutter anymore. At least, the communal living room and dining room and kitchen are rather clean and tidy.

Hmm. Must do Xmas shopping soon. Boo.

Zomg!!! I'm going mad. I got so bored online that I started googling names of celebs I like and nothing excited (no, not in /that/ way, in a teeny-bopper way) more than googling KIM RAE WON!!!!


SCREAMS!!!


ZOMG!!!! KIM RAE WON!!!!

I think I'm going to faint. Haha.

I FEEL LIKE WATCHING ATTIC CAT AND LOVE STORY IN HARVARD ALL OVER AGAIN!!! ahhhhhhhh.

Prime piece of Man-meat at only 25 years old. Heh heh heh.

Name: Kim Rae Won
Birthdate: March 19, 1981
Zodiac: Pisces
Blood type: A
Height: 183 cm
Weight: 67kg

Haha. The post title sounds like a really bad title of a broadway play. -snerks-

I went down for my job interview at St James Powerstation with Ruizhen today. I hope I get it! It'll be so fun to work at a club. An eye opener. Experience. Pays $6.50 an hour. 30 hours/week and it seems alrights because the pay falls just short of having CPF being deducted. Bahahaha. Plus, I still can tuition!!

Anyway. I went out with Tony to Kenny's after that, like I said in the previous post. It turned out to be a great date. Tony was such the gentleman. He was attentive, and he laughed at my jokes. He paid for dinner and accompanied me to Millenia Walk's Candy Empire and didn't mock my childish glee at all the candy. He even disagreed with the fact tt I'm fat. HOHO! SO MANY ADDITIONAL POINTS!!! Then he escorted me home even though he lived in Tanjong Katong and it was past 10pm. On the way home, he even commented that I'm easy to be around with cause there's no need for any form of pretense. Hoho. What a nice boy.

Pity he's flying back to China in two weeks and that he's only a friend. (Haha, Sorry Ro! No mudpie for ya!)

Damnit, I want my own Sam-shik!!!! (You'll know who I'm talking abt if you watched Kim Sam Soon).

Sam-shik ah, odi ae yo?! (Haha! YES TT IS KOREAN!)

I think every single girl should have pseudo-dates like I did tonight. It's the best kind of therapy. Thanks Tony!!! You're the best!

Something I wrote in my cellphone last night after I /just/ switched off the com.


Listening to Class 95, hoping to it'll lull me to sleep and it's playing Whitney Houston's most famous song "I Will Always Love You". And here, I realised how much I loveeeeeeee songs that I grew up with. They seem to be able to evoke so much more emotion than songs nowadays. Even older movies, like in the last post about Roger Rabbit.

These are the thoughts that crowd my mind at night when I cannot sleep. These songs from my formative years evoke such emotion that can make me feel lonely yet at the same time, the same feelings can reach into the depths of my being and touch me like no one and nothing ever can. It feels as though it will fill this void in me for the rest of my life.

But when I drift to sleep, lulled by their harmony and melody, and awake the next morning, I know this feeling will be gone and I am once agiain the Nadya that I am conscious of. The Nadya that feels as though there's something missing and is always always trying to occupy that space with something tangible.

Class 95: The best mix of music. And, at this moment, I must agree. Because it plays the best kind of music. The music I grew up with. I think if I ever have difficulty sleeping again, I'll just tune into the radio. Alrights. Time to snooze.

I love my new blogskin!!! Spent two hours on it though, but wheeeeeeee~!!!

Going for a job interview tomorrow at St James Power Station with Ruizhen. I wonder how much it pays. I hope it pays well. I shall refrain from hopping over to Vivo City after that because I want to wait for Gennie to come back so we can explore some place both of us haven't been to before. Exploring a new mall with Gennie will be so awesome!!! It's like being in Hongkong, except in Singapore.

... what am I saying?!?!?! -shakes head-

Anyway, dinner with Tony PRC (from Pre U Sem) at Kenny Roger's tmr! I wonder if I could con him into giving me the treat. LOL. Man, but I haven't had Kenny's in a /LONG/ time. I hope their standard hasn't dropped much/at all. And I hope there wouldn't be too long a queue.

I hate long queues. They take up time and effort and most of all it reminds me that I haven't got any special privilege and I'm simply an ordinary customer. And I am no ordinary customer. I confess, I am one of those difficult customers who loathe to wait, and would complain to the manager when the waiters/waitresses are surly, rude and slow. Well, the slow thing is relative. I'm not that completely unreasonable. Yet.

It's inherited, this lack of patience and understanding towards service staff. My mom and my sister are the REALLY difficult ones. They have very low tolerance for bad service and that is perhaps where I picked up my nasty behaviour from. So compared to them, I'm like spring, all bright suns and cool breeze while they are like winter, all cold, harsh and biting.

Maybe because my family and I have low threshold levels for bad service, we actually really take note of good service. I like helpful, earnest, polite and unobstrusive staff who try. Even if the task doesn't proceed as smoothly as it can, so long as I see the effort, it really just strikes a chord. And I have told restaurant managers when their waiter/waitresses are so well-behaved and efficient and yes, when I get good service, I generally try to persuade my friends to tip. Unless of course, I'm shit-broke.

Anyway, going on another different topic, I was just talking to Malcolm about this. I want the "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" vcd/dvd for X'mas though I probably wouldn't get it because 1) it's not sold in Singapore (at least not to my knowledge) and 2) because so very few actually know what show I'm talking about.

In lieu of sounding really old, they just don't make them movies like they used to. If you do know the show, please tag so that I can prove to Malcolm that despite what he thinks, I am NOT the only one who knows the show.
