my metal grandma

i'm still there everywhere, i'm the dust in the wind, i'm the star in the northern sky...
i just heard those lyrics coming out from my grandma's room. what!? grandma is listening to stratovarius??? i will never believe that but it's a fact that something on tv that she's watching is playing this song. the next thing that came to my mind was, "ah... must be commercial" but!!! it's not possible to catch stratovarius on singapore television. so my next instinct was to run into her room. ah... there's the answer. a korean drama she's watching called 初恋 by 裴勇俊， 车太贤，崔智友 and the likes is using stratovarius' forever in their soundtrack. i just ran into the room again to check if i typed the names correctly. grandma must be wondering why i'm so excited about it now. she's probably thinking i'm interested in korean dramas. for a moment, i thought something new is happening. no one in the house shares my interest for finnish metal and i don't even listen to insane rampaging of the bass drum and bass guitar kind of metal. bands like stratovarius, sonata arctica, iron maiden and such are fine, aren't they? *tag question*
last month, i bought season 2 region 1 dvd of friends at hmv for $93. today, i went to gramophone and the same thing is going at $69.95. damn! i've wasted like $23.05! anyway, they don't have seasons 1-4 in stock now.
speaking of friends, i don't know if it's because of jasmine, but after what she said about not connecting with the school, i realised i am pretty much not connected as well. i travel in the school alone and don't make many friends. jolin also commented, "这样可怜". really? that was why jasmine chose to take part in freshmen orientation projects and many other activities held by the students' union or arts society (whichever) and came to make many friends. me? i'm still attending lectures alone, lunch alone, go library alone, attend tutorials alone. i'm not even that close to some of my group project members.
really? yes really...
