Radio is trash. TV is trash. Some literature is still good, I suppose we can be thankful for that.
Shannon was giving me a lift after today’s WKW potential-freshie reception.
Sitting in the car, the following scene played out.
*Liz is very tired and stoned, emo chinese music has been playing for on the radio for a while*
Me: Eh, the songs all very melancholic.
Shannon: *switches to English channel*
*Song that plays sounds like the English equivalent of the Chinese song that was on the other channel, and Liz points out as such*
Shannon: *trademark Shannon glare/pout* *switches to another channel*
*Song: It’s getting hawwwt in hereeeee, so take off all your cloooothheeees~*
*Both of us give each other The Look*
Much channel switching ensues, and we finally settle on Power 98. Two ‘okay’ songs play (Man That Can’t Be Moved and Save Tonight). Silence has reigned in the car for a good 8 mins while driving down PIE because we’re both super tired and we were also happily yakking (quite enjoyably) with the potential freshies during the morning so we needed to recharge our word count.
THEN. THE most ridiculous song of the year came on radio.
“When you see my face~ Hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell~”
*Me and Shannon start to laugh*
Shannon: Wahlau, very stupid leh. *proceeds to turn up the volume*
Me: Stupid still play louder!
(Shannon then proceeds to turn up EVEN LOUDER)
*Both listen in silence and clear bemusement, then the BEST PART OF THE SONG COMES IN. The all male chorale singing the chorus*
Shannon: *HOWLS IN LAUGHTER* Oh my god its like a chorus full of emo guys!
Me: Yes this song is so totally the emo anthem of the year.

Oh my like srsly, what they dare call music these days is deplorable. You could jolly well yell out the entire song if you wanted to, and in fact the all American Rejects probably are yelling out the song. Wait, can I even call it a song?

In other funny conversations today…
Me: (talking to Clifton, whom I bumped into at Vivo yesterday when going to watch ‘HAAAAAM-SAAAAAMMMMM SUUUIT-O’ with Walter. Yes it’s so totally pronounced that way.)
Clifton: So what movie were you watching?
Me: Oh, Handsome Suit, it’s quite lame lah haha. What did you watch?
Clifton: *pregnant pause* 17 Again.
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA OMG THAT’S WORSE.
Clifton: mumbleiwaswithmyfriendandshewantedtowatchitsomumblemumble…
