I listen to the radio, All the songs we used to know
Begin the day with a friendly voice, a companion unobtrusive
Plays that song that's so elusive
And the magic music makes your morning mood.
Off on your way, hit the open road
There is magic at your fingers
For the spirit ever lingers -
Undemanding contact in your happy solitude
Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antenae bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback, on timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price - almost free
All this machinery making modern music
Can still be open-hearted
Not so coldly charted; it's really just a question of your honesty.
One likes to believe in the freedom of music
But glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity
Invisible airwaves crackle with life
Bright antenae bristle with the energy
Emotional feedback, on timeless wavelength
Bearing a gift beyond price - almost free
"For the words of the profits were written on the studio wall and concert hall
And echoes with the sound of salesmen."
Today, was epic. Because. I was chatting with this guy (or girl, I don't know) on omegle about marvel comics.
And he/she went like "Do you read X-Men?" So I told him/her yes, and asked which was his/her favourite story arc, and his/her favourite characters.
And he/she told me Wolvie, Scott and Betsy, and they loved the Planet X storyline. It was pretty amusing because, really, Wolvie, Scott and Betsy? They're all so different! And then they asked me the same questions, so I said Emma, Ororo and Raven Darkholme, plus I think the Phoenix story arcs and Divided We Stand are good. So this person was like, Emma, Ororo, and Mystique?! And I went "yup." Gosh, it was so funny when it actually happened. I'm a terrible narrator.
And yes, ruitong, you should never say anything you don't mean in front of me. Or behind, for that matter.
ALSO, ZOO ANIMALS ♥♥. And yes, I do have a reason for saying that.
As a footnote for staff if you're reading this (I have reason to think that you are, by the way), THEY SAID IT WAS CATERPILLAR CRAWL, AND NEVER MENTIONED WORM. ._. But anyway the point is that even if it is phased out, it still did/does exist. JEEZ.

RG Open House 09! and other stuff
I am so absolutely awesome hence I shall blog in chronological order. Then you'll find me even more awesome. x)
THIS IS MY SEVENTEENTH BLOG POST! Therefore I shall dedicate this post to anyone who likes the number seventeen.
Before we start talking about anything in particular, let me get this across.
NO I DO NOT RANDOMLY HELP TO RUN ERRANDS OK. DON'T ASK ME TO RUN RANDOM ERRANDS ANYMORE. I AM NOT KIDDING.
Anyway. RGS OPEN HOUSE '09!
I reached at around eight. Then we used the class computer and played PINBALL. We as in Joelle Chong and Kwang Lin and me. Then we went to walk around and go to our booths.
I helped out at the CLE and Bio booths. CLE in the morning and Bio in the afternoon.
I only helped out at the CLE booth for like half an hour, which was like NO ONE AT ALL. Yeah. So basically we just slacked. I chatted with Suzanne and Ashlynna, because the PB and PSB boards were right beside the CLE ones. So.
And then it was house cheers at the amphi. My throat still hurts now.
THEN MY FAVOURITE PART OF THE DAY - LUNCH! We ate lunch in CLASS. Which means we literally broke school rules. x) I love breaking school rules.
Then we had MORE cheers. This time in the hall. I don't know why I keep on spotting random NCC people/seniors around the entire place.
Then we went back to class. WHICH MEANS AIRCON. THE GALLERY WAS SO FREAKING STUFFY.
Went down to the canteen for dessert! Met Rui Tong. Went to Koi Pond area together.
Saw Jennifer (actually she saw me first). She went like "Ooh Shermine! Look at that!"
Yeah. And dragged me to a random booth. I looked up at the person manning the booth. And then looked down at the "jelly". And then looked up again and went like "Oh. Hi Rebecca." Bluh it was so freaking funny. And then ran some errands for her (eg getting more toilet paper from the E block and fishing out little bits of "jelly").
And then it was Bio booth time! But before that Ka Ying and I went randomly to the Chem booths. It was kind of cool.
I got paired up with Wenxin for Bio booth and Hui Min and Ka Ying went around "stalking" people a.k.a. dragging them to our booth.
Then I saw Cheryl. Cheryl like our infocomm vice chair. At the same booth that Rebecca was like about 1 hour ago (I think).
AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN.
It's not like I'm stalking my seniors or anything, but WHY WHY WHY do I keep on seeing them?
ANYWAYS.
Wenxin and I had parents asking us questions like: "Are you Sec 2?" And then when we said no they were like "Huh?" I swear, they would have said WTF if they could. Bluh.
Yeah. And then it was the end of the Open House. It ended at four. I was there from eight to four. Then we went to help to put the stuff back and give the organisms back to their "rightful owners". Note the quotation marks.
Cheryl was helping out "for fun". Or so she says.
And then I left school at around 4.30 to 4.45.
Met Suzanne on the bus. Went home.
Half did blog post.
24th May 2009
Continued blog post.
Went to grandmother's house.
CHIONGED/ING PHILO.
I SWEAR THIS IS WEIGHING ON MY CONSCIENCE BUT I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED YET!
Anyway. Can't wait for Monday. WE HAVE NCC!
I just realized I'm starting to like NCC.
Like at first I honestly didn't like it. (Please don't tell me the seniors are reading this.)
But now I actually look forward to it. Like an escape from normal boring class time. AND PHILO. AND PIANO PRACTICES.
The only bad thing about it is that I have CCA on Wednesday. Which is basically slack day. We don't even have a single "academic" subject, so to speak. But NCC ruins the day. And we don't get to go home early.
ACK I JUST REALIZED I'M DEVIATING FROM THE TOPIC AT HAND A.K.A. OPEN HOUSE.
Whatever. I need to CHIONG PHILO AA.
P.S. I found my philo article for the AA! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! (And thank god[dess].)
SHERMINE x)
Purple is for Hadley.
