Students! during this very trying time, please take care of your health! We know mugging is important, but don't neglect food or drink or rest at the expense of your health! We of all people should know. This is what the Establishment would have you believe: that mugging is key and all there is to life! But no! Besides, mugging we can also, uh, read notes, no wait that's mugging...do tuto-...no...ah, there's other stuff to life besides mugging. I think. Its like the wind. You may not see it but it's there. Yup. It's there. We have a collection of shocking pictures to scare you into taking a break. Labels: plastic muggers
Sorry. I was kidding. There's no health without mental health. There's no growth without good grades. Get back to your mugging. Fun's over.
Do you have a little brother or sister? Do you fear they won't be able to catch up with our current education system? Do you fear they won't do well in the future? Do you want to jump on the Uniquely Singaporean bandwagon of turning your child into a little scholar prodigy at the mature age of 3 years old? Or does your child have some spare time in between his/her school, tuition, CCA, piano, violin, swimming, phonetics and quantum physics lessons? We have the answer for you!
Little Mugger Flash Cards! Yes! The newly designed Little Mugger Flash Cards are a pack of 26 cards containing each letter of the the alphabet from A-Z! Each card has the capitalised and lower case form of each letter on one side, and a picture of a JC topic that begins with the letter on the other side with a short definition and description! Your child may not know what subject he/she will be taking in the future, so we have thoughtfully included a few terms from each possible subject. They are designed so that your child will learn about the alphabet as well as something new from JC.
Eg. R is for Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase Oxygenase or RuBisCo!
Rubisco is an enzyme involved in the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis.
Simple and engaging! Just train your child to recognise that a certain letter corresponds to a certain term and you have taught him or her something to impress the other kids at his preschool of kindergarten! Here's a sample of what our cards will offer.
A: Absorption Spectrum
B: Berlin Wall
C: Climograph
D: Desmonda
E: Epistemology
F: Figurative Language
G: Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate
H: Horror - "The horror, the horror!" -Heart Of Darkness, Joseph Conrad
I: (-1)^0.5
J: John F. Kennedy
K: Keynesian Economics
L: Lithosphere
M: Market Failure
N: Non-cyclic Photophosphorylation
O: Opportunity Cost
P: Permutation & Combination
Q: Qualitative Analysis
R: Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase Oxygenase
S: Solipsism
T: Trinitrotoluene (TNT) (C6H3(NO2)3)
U: Uniform Circular Motion
V: Venn Diagram
W: Wavelength
X: X-axis
Y: Yttrium
Z: Zenith
Also, look out for the My First Complex Numbers cards to be released next month! They're designed to familiarise your child with complex numbers at a young age to take advantage of their huge capacity for imagination and prepare then for JC math. Remember, (2+3i)(3+4i)=(-6+17i)!
As we all know, the sudden proliferation of laptops of all shapes, sizes, colours and shades can only mean one thing. PEE-DUB-EUU! That's right! PW! There's like a minimum or one or two laptops everywhere you tread in school, and it makes some of us J2s want to say HAHA!...PW!!! Lol. It is rather amusing when you think of it. If you're J2 I mean. =P Don't worry J1s, your turn will come soon. We know quite a lot of you dislike(or vehemently hate with a burning vengeance) the subject. I, for one, particularly liked it. Either I'm weird or maybe I'm just not suited for JC life. Lol. Because I never found any aspect of PW irritating, annoying, tiring, or a pain in the gluteus maximus before. I pratically enjoyed it to the max. Or maybe my group was just great. So I have no hard feelings towards PW.
But in the end, when they ask you if you think you have learned anything from PW or if you would encourage it for the next generation, I'm guessing that many of you will say yes. Just as we did. But I wasn't lying. The rest...wanted the next batch to suffer the way we did, and thus continues the cycle of misery. Such sadness in the world. Either way, here's a little Glossary of PW Terms to entertain you for a while. Enjoy.
Glossary of PW Terms
1. PI - Preposterous Ideas
2. WR - Written Rubbish
3. EOM - Evaluating Obscure Materials
4. IR - Inane Rambling
5. OP - Overly Painful
6. PW - Pointless Work
You guys requested for it, so here it is, The A Level Movie Trailer.
You might notice a slight difference in the video especially at the end as this was the first edit of the video. Yes, we do multiple edits to ensure the end product turns out well. (: In any case, the final edit will be up as soon as possible once -=[K]=- sends it over to me too.
Cheers.
You go home and your mom asks, "Who are you?"
You think hamburgers go well with notes.
You enter a fast food restaurant and the manager immediately chases you out. (Toodles to Kovan Macs manager for being the inspiration.)
Your usual seat at the outlet has your butt print on it.
When 80% of your allowance is spent on fast food to keep yourself from being chased out of the restaurant. (The remaining 20% is spent on mugging accessories.)
Your home is defined as where another place to spend the night.
You have 45 other places to spend the night. And they are all 24/7 Macs. (applies only to MacDonald's muggers)
You don't eat anything that doesn't contain a "Mc-" in front. (applies only to MacDonald's muggers)
When your definition of breakfast, lunch and dinner is your immunity shield against being chased out.
When the fast food outlet is closing in 2 minutes and you think, "just one more page!"
When you know each of the staffs' name, personal history and family background. And you are not the manager.
When you can recognize the sequence of all the songs on the MacDonald's "TV". (applies only to Macdonalds muggers)
When 40% of MacDonald's' revenue is contributed by you.
When you are truly indeed "Lovin' It".
When you try to make jokes on mugging too much at fast food restaurants.
Proudly brought to you by taky and -=[K]=-.
But The Posts Goes On.
Primetime Update! - We're on Facebook!
Hey guys! We've gotta keep up with the latest trends also, because it seems everyone and their mother has facebook now and we've been putting it off for a while. Anyway, just look up "Mugalomaniac" and join us!
[UPDATE]Watch movie first. Read end of post. =D [/UPDATE] Labels: movie, plastic muggers
This fall's latest blockbuster hit. Coming your way soon. Turn up your speakers if you like. And I think you will.
This is probably one of the coolest things the plastic muggers have done so far. We hope you enjoyed it. I had just as much fun making it as I hope you will have watching it, and its my favourite Plastic Muggers post right now.
Like the trailer? Click the vid, go on youtube, comment, rate, respond! So what do you guys think? Hopefully this will be an incentive for you all to tag us. =P
[Note: The film is rated M-18! So only us, your seniors can experience the full thing. This is due to some Graphing content, and strong language from KI. Geddit? Graphic content? Graphing content? Hahaha!]
I'm afraid we won't be making a movie out of this, because stop-motion animation would totally kill us, and even a series of pictures like in the trailer itself would be amazingly tedious. Still, this came as an idea to me, and since I work best fueled on ideas, I ran with it immediately. Threw everything together in a coupla hours, slept at 2AM on Mon. Or rather, 2AM on Tues morning. Hope you guys like it, even if it is just a trailer. =]
[UPDATE]READ AFTER WATCHING[/UPDATE]
This just came to my attention, courtesy of one of our readers, that our storyline is similar to that of The Outsiders novel. And thus begins one of the weirdest coincidences in my life ever. It may be freaky and weird, believe it or not, but I'm serious. I've never read it the book before, but the theme and storyline is similar, including...wait for it, the NAME of the dead guy. It just popped into my my head, that I should use that name, and wonder of wonders, it turns out to be the same name of the dead boy in the book. There is also the same theme of him dying at such a young age, I think, and the similarities are pretty uncanny to say the least. I basically half-read half-skimmed through the article, and it's quite interesting, so you can check it out here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outsiders_(novel)
My strange life has been marked by several highly improbable coincidences that make you think "What are the chances of that happening?" But this is definitely one of the weirdest.
The recent prelims onslaught was devastating enough by itself. Many prevailed and stood strong in the raging wave of questions, but many others were lost in battle to SAMS, Severe Acute Mugging Syndromes.
As a part of mugalomaniac, I have went around taking pictures (with photo consent) of these muggers, and hopefully these pictures can do well to warn those in mugland about this horrifying disease. And, I am sure those in Mugland would see these people around, grinning madly in despair and mugging hard at the study benches.
The first is a mugger who just finished his prelims. Stunned by the Ultimate results, he went crazy and started doing question after question.
As you can see, the muggers have no control over their desire for more questions. This mugger is obviously exhausted but he has gone delirious and hence is unable to stop mugging.
The next one is a mugger with the regret symptom of SAMS. After the paper, he just emoly sat there, thinking about all the mistakes he could have done in the exams, and what he did not do.
Worrying is not useful folks. Please do not succumb to such factors of "I-should-have". Seriously, just remember not to do that for the final paper. Well.. erm.. if you can remember. But STILL! This is bad. ><
The next one is SAMS so highly evolved that the bacteria has managed to fully take over the mugger's mind. What's coming next is highly graphic and please... do NOT view if you had just taken your dinner.
Are you ready?

This is the state of disillusionment. Forget about psychoing yourself. This guy has mastered the art of deceiving the mind. With a wide teethly smile, he happily grabs the pen and prepares to tackle another practice paper. (I get SOOOOO jealous at these people. ><)
But, the SAMS has not gone unnoticed by the public! Following I will show some photos that proves the recognition of the mugger syndrome. And believe me, these photos are NOT photoshooted. Hmm.. at least, not entirely.
Mugalomaniac's believe it or not!
Entry no.1
BE CONSIDERATE, DO NOT STUDY.
This sign can be found in the airport at popeyes. Yes, yes, what better way to spend a study break camping at the airport, diligently preparing for the Alevels. But still, people need to eat. This photo is real. DO NOT cope seats when the public needs to eat. Have courtesy.
Entry no.2
MUGLISTON ROAD! A road named after the act of mugging! This sign can be found around katong. And seriously, the stop there does don the picture to the dot. A special name for a special spot. =D
Well, don't believe that SAMS exists? You better believe it now. On the most crucial point in the entire year, right before A levels, we all teether dangerously on the mind's edge of SAMS - or not. So, folks, STUDY WELL AND HARD! ^^
Hey there guys! Guess what? Yesterday Mugalo turned one! =D Sorry about the lack of posts, but we didn't really wanna jam up a whole lotta posts together, and stuck to our rough schedule of Wed and Sun posts. Anyway, here's a big THANK YOU to all our beloved readers! We do hope you will continue reading, and also introduce your friends to our site, and help us spread publicity. Think of it as a birthday gift to us. =]
To all those who have been with us from the start, we thank you for your continued support and we hope to see you guys down the road still. One small birthday wish, tag more, ok guys? We'd love to hear more from all of you too, which is much more exciting than just watching the hits counter. =P
Meanwhile, for any new readers or people who haven't visited in a while, check out the Mugalomaniac's Fund for Stressed Muggers (Plastic Muggers comic), and also take part in our poll for which song YOU'd like us to remug!
Just a quick heads up here, and to build up a little hype for later, we'll be releasing something special this Sunday...so be sure to check in on Sunday, or late Saturday night, (depending on how loyal a fan you are. =P) to get first peek at that special something we have for you guys! We're pretty sure you'll like it. It's sorta my own birthday present to Mugalo, but I'm releasing it on Sunday to stick to our schedule. There will be more interesting developments coming your way soon!
(Want to know what the Sunday post is? Its a secret. =P So secret only the Mugalomaniacs know what it is and they all got a sneak preview of it today. Hint: It's already up on Youtube...but its private! Hehs.)
