She has been labeled as the sweetie pie kind for over 10 years, and she wants to revamp her image. But, she does not believe in pushing it, whatever will be, will be. Having experienced two breakups, she says she is destined to live a single's life. One might see this as a resignation to fate, but she views it as living in the present with a driven attitude. What can be more valuable and practical than living the life before one's eyes? Nnadia was on a skiing trip having completed her performance in Toronto when I called. Though she was a first time skiier and was already having difficulty with even simple basics like walking, she still ended up playing Ice Hockey. A word such as "danger" does not exist in her dictionary, there is only "fun". "I'm like a body of pure flowing water, able to stream into all kinds of environment. I'm an easy-going and highly adaptable person, and of course, this versatility would hopefully apply to my performing career as well." And so she attempted to seek a breakthrough in two of her latest works -- the action-packed movie "Summer Assassin" and comedic serial "In the Realm of Success". In the first, she appeared in a sexy two-piece as a cold-blooded assassin and the latter, a blur white-collar office worker. "When I was done with "Realm", I figured comedic roles would allow me to give my skills a better boost. People who didn't know me mistook it for good acting, but the close ones knew I was just being myself, ha!" But it has been 16 years of apparent flawlessness, can this really be changed overnight, just like that? Nnadia turned 31 at the beginning of the year but it seemed that the audience still cannnot get enough of her girl-next-door image. In the new telemovie "Deathtrap", she was back to portraying the kind of roles she had been used to, this time round she will be a kindergarten teacher with a heart of gold. As for her period drama serial "Zheng Ban Qiao", she plays the enduring and virtuous wife of Wong Hei. The more her roles defy her current image, the more she craves for them, even if it means being a hateful vixen or a frumpy character. "I've been with the audience for so many years, they basically know how I'm like beneath. Even if I'm to play the villian, everyone will still treat it as a challenge to my acting skills and not mix things up. As for a frumpy middle-aged woman role, that's even better, no need to apply makeup, what a save of time, ha! The things I can't get a taste of in my daily life, I especially want to try them out onscreen." But to revamp an image is not a factor that is dependent on her alone. "Though I've already moved 10 steps ahead, the audience may only have advanced one. This applies even to the producers in this industry, they can't catch up, so I'm still given similar roles as those of the past. As the saying goes, one can only do so much, the rest is up to destiny. I'll do my best when the chance comes by, as to when others are willing to change their views, I wouldn't worry too much." He who flew in specially from the States to give her well-wishes personally, this is the love-struck millionaire who appeared during her birthday party. But like the horde of suitors, he was unable to move her heart. "Others rush, but I don't, my approach towards relationships is to take it easy. Nnadia came from a troubled family, when she was 17, her kind adoptive mother took her in. Her background has veiled her views towards on marriage and family. "The love between two people can sustain, maybe up to 10 years of happiness, after that it'll be transformed to a kind of responsibility. I'm afraid of being hurt and this leads me to hold back. Deep down I feel that the lesser you give out, the lesser the hurt during the breakup. Such a view has prevented me from submerging myself totally into a relationship. I've no confidence in love, I also don't know if I can be a good wife or mom, and the least I'd want to do is affect the next generation." In reality, Nnadia loves kids, she even took up a course on child psychology just so she could understand them better. "Especially when I see kids under five, I go crazy and I want to hug and kiss them. My friends will stand beside me and pull me back, or else I'd definitely have rushed forward! Now I've learned to smile only when I see kids but actually, I'm already salivating deep down, ha!" She even thought of adopting a kid herself and be a single mom. "But, it's still healthier for kids to grow up with both the parents. At least in guiding them, the parents can play different roles, one being strict and the other the lenient one. If there is only the mom who is always disciplining him, he'll definitely be compelled to run away eventually!" Not long ago, Dasmond Koh was in Hong Kong gathering materials for his variety program and Nnadia guest starred in the opening act. She also celebrated his birthday for him during the trip and the Hong Kong media took to interpret it as old flames rekindling. So their relationship is of.... "Actually I'm not too sure, and a little confused. I'm blur towards relationships and don't hold much expectations. It can be said we're like brothers! My character is more straightforward and not detail-oriented, when I'm around guys, it always ends up either with them becoming my sisters, or vice versa." Though it is said they are of a brotherly kind of relationship, but on the topic of whether the two keep in frequent contact, or if the communication is via the phone or email, Nnadia appears to want to keep it confidential with a tinge of avoidance by briefly bring it across. "Whatever it is we still keep in touch." Any chance of turning the relationship around? "Isn't it good as it is now? Everyone is comfortable with it, no matter how much you give out, you still can't escape what destiny has in plan for you. Whether you will meet that right one, it's all in the book. Maybe I will never meet Mr. Right in my lifetime, rather than hope indefinitely,why not just admit to fate."
