no more mugging excuses!!

HI EVERYBODY!! ok, firstly, we're so so so so sorry for the lack of new posts man. it's really hard to find inspiration nowadays, especially when our main source of inspiration (our favourite activity! mugging!) is currently missing from our lives. ='( but no worries, we are still here, albeit a lil stoned. =S

anyway, here's a post on *points to title of post*. seriously! we just cant use these excuses anymore when someone asks you out and you really dont like the person, so you dont want to go, or you are just plain lazy. OR there is some big event you wana attend (like the click five concert on the 1st of june...) but just cant get round your hesitation and well, just coz you are too old to use the excuse, "coz my mama dont allow."

1) i have to wake up at 6am the next day for school and i dont wana be late! i mean, the first lecture is GP/Maths/Bio/Hist/Econs/Lit/Chem/GSC/Physics and my love for it is stronger than any word can describe, so i really cant go! i just cant risk!

2) i am just a student and my job is to mug my hardest which does not generate income, so i although i am willing to go out with you, im unable to coz i have not enough money for luxury goods. *grins*

3) i have to study for a test/exam/timed-assignment-which-is-counted-but-not-considered-a-test on the day after that! so i really really cant go. im so so sorry! *innocent look with just the right pinch of worry injected*

4) i have CCA until 8:30pm and i may have another committee meeting after that. and coz there is *states strenuous activity* i will be really sticky and smelly and have to take a bath. and then after picking up a quick bite and after travelling there, it will be like, *states a really late time* and i think i may as well not go. sorry lah! next time if there is an earlier timing i will definitely go ok? (if i dont make up another mugger excuse that is. wakakaka!)

5) according to economic theory, humans are rational beings, so they are able to rank their choices according to which one will give the highest satisfaction. and since acing my A levels is my ultimate goal, i am unable to spare time before the A levels (which is this year, or maybe even next year!) as i am unwilling to trade off time which can be spent trying to get into uni to spend time with a loser like you as you are not even the second best choice according to my ranking. im so so so so sorry man! really! maybe next time lah (or the time after that or the time after that or the time after that............ *ahem* you get the idea.)

or for the not so mugger-inclined:

1) aiyah! dont want lah! getting MC to go there in the day is too troublesome lor!

2) CANNOT!! the event end too late and the next day still got school! if i late for one more day hor, i kena see principle le!

see? no more of such excuses. *SOBS!* and so this is another reason why we miss school so much. we cant make convenient excuses any more!

now isnt that just another lovely reason to love being a mugger?

The truth about the world

In the past, when you're a mugger, people don't call you a mugger. They call you hardworking. Not just average hardworking, but really, REALLY, hardworking. They don't mention the fact that your room is filled with essays, stacked to the ceilings. They don't mention that your dustbins only contains pens and is in fact, overflowing. They don't mention that the fire that burnt down your neighbor's house, and your neighbor's neighbor's house, was started by the candle you toppled during midnight after being too excited by your answer to the calculus question, setting fire to the essay tower. They don't mention all that. They completely and thoroughly censor those facts and keep to their story, you're hardworking.

Not a mugger, that is oh-so made fun of in high school. In the past, when you are a mugger, you're HARDWORKING.

Then, people started to realize that it was abnormal. Normal teens did not like studying, they liked playing games in fields. They liked making balls go into nets, be it with their hands or legs. They really liked lines, running around, following the endless lines, going in circles just to make sure that their feet finished stepping around the lines. They liked piling on top of each other. Suddenly, studying so much was not a hardworking sign. It was a sign of abnormality, of weirdness. So what do they do now? They make a funny name for it. A mugger.

Mugger! How weird can it get? Why in the world, did anyone, in their right (or left) mind, create a word, from a MUG, that describes a person that studies a lot. It makes no sense. No logical link.

Perhaps a person who studies too long will dehydrate, therefore requiring the assistance of a mug, to continue re hydrating himself and thus being able to continue to quench his knowledge. Nice.

So call them weird. Now people are really getting affected by this seemingly harmless word. Call them a mugger and see their reaction. "NOO. I'm not studying. This? Pffftt. Hahaha. Why would I be studying? This result? Tyco one lah. Won't be so good."

Now people will not want to admit that they are even hardworking. No way near that line. Too dangerous, too much of a reputation to sacrifice if one would admit that they are STUDYING. Gosh.

But then, when so many people refuses to study, the general cohort now becomes more and more slackish, as some would call it. People are playing left right and center, 'not' burning the midnight oil, 'not' bring books home to mug, ops, study. They are SO 'not' hardworking. Then, one person admits,

"Yea, I'm a mugger. So what?"

And then, people see that being a mugger is outstanding, it's different.

See? People don't want to be a mugger just for the mugger thing, people want to be different. The world moves in a cycle, just like fashion, just like the habits and thinking of people. What is here now, was here before.

So now, what we are? What this is?

This is the truth about the world.
