So, I was out with Gladys today. Went to Pepper Lunch(Finally!) for dinner. Really nice! I enjoyed the texture of the rice, and the taste of everything mixed together; so complicated, yet so delightful. All you Pepper Lunch virgins, go lose your virginity now! It's something that you would not ever regret. I swear.
After dinner, we went to Kino and I was trying to explain some of the abbreviations in knitting instructions to Gladys. Had to hands on with her current project to show her. I think the Kino people must have thought that I'm crazy. We went to look through some fictional books after the knitting episode and I realise that I really miss book-browsing with Gladys. I can still remember that when we were in lower sec, we visited the library together all the time. SokEng would, sometimes, look so blur and put off by some of the books I chose due to the "explicit" pictures some of the romance books had. Sigh, those were the days.
Anyway, after that, I took a bus to Plaza Singapura so that I could show Gladys my workplace and at the same time she could take a look at the yarn collection at Spotlight. I bought a "Fairy Cupcake" and shared with her, and guess what? Marcus had very nicely added a scoop of ice-cream for us. Squee!!! So nice of him! Heh... I think I was almost floating with all that sugar in me after some time, because I started to proclaim myself as Gladys' "Fickle-minded lover". I suspect that the sugar also caught up with Gladys because she went all teasing and poking, and I was trying to resist pushing her off the moving escalators that brought us to spotlight. I'm sad to say though, that Spotlight has been really disappointing these days. The yarn area was so bare that I wanted to cry. All the nice yarnsies on the display tables near the entrance were taken to God-knows-where, and in their place sat terribly-Christmassy things. Ugh, I can swear that this is the first time in months that I've felt such hostile feelings for Christmas! It was definitely HORRIBLE.
We left Spotlight empty-handed and after taking a look in "Sembawang", the CD shop, I decidedly dragged Gladys to the Cathay and straight to Gramophone. Good thing we went there too, because they are having some kind of Warehouse sales for their old stocks. Gladys and I spent quite a lot of time and money there and as much as I was happy with what I found (Disney Recess, The Mummy, Evan Almighty, Desperation and HP & the Sorceress Stone-All below $10 and only the Disney cartoon wasn't DVD), I am frustrated that I could not find any films with Alan Rickman in them (I miss the man, dammit!). Gladys complained about the amount she spent (LOL) all the way to the MRT and after sometime, she stopped (I then told her about my decision to get another part-time job). We managed to catch a train to Marina Bay and back (Whoo-hoo~! Seats!). Listened to music from Gladys' handphone all the way while I played my Zune's sudoku and at some parts of the very very nice songs, we ended up singing along. Funny! :)
My love for this scene grew again as Gladys and I listened to the songs in her phone. I was reminded of the love that was in the lyrics and some parts of me now wonder who Elton John wrote this song for. Must be someone important. :)
Anyway, at the start of the video, it's a little awkward because Satine (Nicole Kidman) was all
sexual and
horny. LOL. I was trying really hard not to laugh at Christian's (Ewan Macgregor) expression when he was reciting poetry and all he saw was Satine thrusting around on her bed. My favourite bit was the part when Christian starts singing (Can you hear the angels join in?) and Satine just stares at him with awe. It was really really good, that scene. *Shudders with delight* Did I mention that in that bit, all my goosebumps suddenly decided to visit? Heh.
By the way, the movie is Moulin Rouge. :)
Ah well, I have to go now. I'm meeting up with a lady called Khloe tomorrow to collect my Holga. Yep, it's finally here!!! My beloved. Whoo~!!!!
Goodnight!
