Oki, it is nearing the end of the exam season (and for those in NTU, long over), but nonetheless, here's just a lil commentary! NUS have a lot of tables, definitely! Benches, tables, desks... but if you want to study, you have GOT to get the CHOICE bench/table/desk right? Right! With that in mind, here's a lil comic. =D
Storyline and lil paragraph: taky
Art work: -=[K]=-
=D
disclaimer: this is post is just for the sake of peace, laughter, fun and joy. any resemblance to any student dead from mugging or barely half alive from the exams are purely coincidental.
On a photo. =P I was looking through some exhibits and saw that my unit visited MJC before! So cool! I didn't know! only found out today. Lol. I think it was a few years back. How interesting. ^^
It was any other normal day, yesterday was. I just finished my last paper and took the shuttle bus back to my hall, minding my own business when suddenly, these four people caught my eye. They were also minding their own business, but to me, they stuck out like a sore eye in the huge crowd below the central library in NUS, which is the central forum.
FOUR people, wearing MJC pants and MJC schools shirts! One wore the red meridian leaders shirt, another a PE shirt, the other two had on some kind of other MJC shirts I think. Walking together like that, they were definitely drawing some kind of attention, at least by me.
"I SEE MJC PEOPLE!!" My friend is from VJC so he wasn't as excited as I was.
"Where?"
"THERE!" I pointed my finger against the bus window which I was sitting on and looked on as the four people nonchalently walked across the forum to the road.
The question : What were they doing there?
Maybe... Maybe because they are fevernt readers of mugalomaniac, then see what we wrote about NUS, they decided to go there to mug!! Well, that was one thought that came into my mind.
Or maybe their A levels are over and they want to go NUS to look around but forgot that it was a university and don't need to wear uniform so wore the MJC uniform!
Or perhaps they heard that the food at the deck (arts canteen) is good and decided to go there to eat. Cheap and good food. =)
But whatever it is, seeing MJC people roaming around NUS like that flooded me with memories of MJC! I really miss MJ. >
I remember once, when I sneaked into TPJC's internal drama performanace, they actually included a part about MJC in their script. They said, "Aiyo, who would want to go to MJC? Their uniform light blue colour de. Like teddy bears!"
RAR. Haha. But still, going to MJC is great. Our uniform is fireproof, anyway. (Please do not try to test this out. Our dear ex council vice pres did try to test this and ended up with a hole in his uniform. The uniform's fireprooflity is that under extreme heat it can protect you for a while, NOT under direct fire. But please, do not run into any burning buildings and try to save people. The smog will probably suffocate you, which is how most people get poisoned in big fires. =) )
Anyway, if you have any ideas on why they were there, feel free to comment. ^^
Please note that I have no intention of making MJC hate TPJC people or vice versa. Friendly rivary is always nice. My best friends are from TPJC too. =D
The PSLE results have just been released! Usually, every year I don't take note of it because I don't have a child and my own PSLE is kind of over since I was P6. Anyway, there is NO escaping it. Singapore is like, a broken record played over and over again during the PSLE results period.
98.7FM : And the top scorer this year comes from...
98.0FM : ... Nanyang girls school...
95.0FM : ...Top malay scholar and indian scholar are...
Me : MUSIC! Rar. (switches to chinese channel)
93.3 : zui gao zhuang yuan...
Me : -.-"
And then I reach my destination. Which was chinese swimming club, by the way. I wanted to go for a swim. So I went into the changing room and I heard these two ladies.
Lady A : You know, my son's PSLE results not very good, cannot enter this secondary school.
Lady B : Huh.... then you got try DSA or not?
A : The school say must at least 240 then can appeal so I appeal lor... lucky can at least get 240.
B : wa... you good lor... your son not bad ah.
A : Thank you... hahaha. Also not say very good lah...
Ok. By now I think I sort of get the point. PSLE results, Singapore, out. Ok to whoever the one is that is trying to pass me this subconscious message. Don't get the point but, thanks. Now I know that results are out. So I wanted to keep my stuff, and then my phone rang.
Me : Hello Mum?
Mum: Hey! You know PSLE results are just out?
Me : (bangs head against locker)
The story here has no intention of making fun of any sort of race, culture, religion, age, relationship, skin colour, weight, height, eye colour, hair type, country clubs, or any other thing that you can think of. This is for the sake of pure entertainment and information that PSLE RESULTS ARE OUT. And the author feels that an array of experiences that keeps telling her that PSLE RESULTS ARE OUT should be shared with the mugalomaniac world or the unexplained coincidences will be for nil. So, if you don't get that PSLE RESULTS ARE OUT, well, PSLE RESULTS ARE OUT. SO there.
Oh my. It's the super tensed up exam period now in NUS and it's
.
.
.
Kind of scary.
Staying in hall, I have no qualms about agreeing to meet up at 8pm to study at the central library study benches, cause I can easily go back to my room to sleep at night. But then, I realized something.
The central library remains open for those who fervently want to swallow all their lecture notes and extra readings. The closing time is 7.45AM in the morning and the opening time is 8AM, 15 minutes! And the library remains active throughout the entire night!!
Since the library has no space for us ( sad people ) , we decided to stay outside it to do our work. Midnight came and went and we decided that we're hungry. And guess what! Mac, just a walkable distance away, is still open!
Wow.
Back in MJ I really thought mugging till school chases people out was bad, but here, well... if you can't beat them, just let them be I guess.
SO, for those who enjoy the intimidating stress of being outstudied by everyone else, come on over to NUS. And see how many muggers can concentrate in one location. =)
ok, i know this is all about mugging here, but hey! everyone needs to chill and relax sometime right? not everyone is a super mugger and some people just NEED that break, especially since it's the exam season! of course, some of these can be done ANYWHERE, so have fun picking what you wana do!
after that list of exercises, here's the guide to relaxing on campus... so here's a list of things you can do to just take a break from your books and just chill...
1) Drink from the milo van!
yes! EVERYTIME the milo van comes, people crowd around and get a drink of the delicious drink. it's not uncommon to see people (like yours truly), queueing up again and again and again for the drink. 3 cups! 5 cups! 8 cups! they will then sigh, "oh! drink until full le... can't eat lunch........." and it is also not uncommon to see people (once again, like yours truly), filling up 3 to 4 cups and tapaoing it back to their haunts for the people who are so busy mugging, they can't go down to get the milo themselves.
2) Dance on the benches!
you've mugged late into the night. you feel bored, stiff and tired. unlike the super muggers around you, you are unable to mug any more, but you have to continue! you have an innate need to continue! walking around won't help. it will just make you even more depressed. so how? DANCE ON THE BENCHES! jump on it! hop around! skip on one leg on it! jump from bench to bench! leap and fly and soar on the benches! just be careful not to disturb the super muggers. they may you their >insert super powers< to fry the shit out of you. =S
3) Play with LEGO!
you have one powerpoint. you have five laptops on the table. they all need that one powerpoint. so just for the sake of a need and the sake of relaxing, whip out two mutliplugs, and start assembly! *plug plug plug plug* get that perfect combi! get that perfect score! *plugplugplugplugplug!* TADAH!!! plug in to the powerpoint. "Power ON!" study.
4) Sleep at the Central Library!
you've been studying the whole night~! *groans* and unlike super muggers, you do not seem to be able to survive on mugging alone! so now what? skip over to the central library! enjoy the air con... close yor eyes.... let the soft hum of activity around you lull you to sleeeeeeeeeeep....... just remember to wake up on time for your lecture.
*usual disclaimer* any risk from doing these activities, physically, psychologically and socially, will be borne by the people doing these activities themselves. the mugalomaniacs will not claim responsibility for any of the activities done. =D
Non-Muggers
OK, these are the people who doesn't mug. At all. They go around, have fun, enjoy life. They look down on all classes of muggers, labelling us all no-lifers, but hey! The rest of us will have a rather nice life in future. At least, that's the norm. If there are a few who doesn't (touch wood!), don't blame it on us!
Normal Muggers
These people don't mug all the time. In fact, they call themselves slack! They are the general population. They mug when there are tests. They mug when exams are near. They do their assignments (most of the time) and they actually have a life. They watch movies and go out and have fun. BUT they still study. See? That's you and me!
Hardcore Muggers
Okay, these people are not as creepy as the Super Muggers, but they are still rather intimidating. They eat, drink and breathe as normal people too, albeit skipping some meals. You will still see them with books on hand all the time, but you will at least you will hear them say, "So should i go home now? or should I stay and study?" At least they contemplate going home. They are just hardcore, not insane.
Super Muggers
Super muggers are just people who mug like they breathe. they mug standing up, they mug sitting down. They mug in transit, they mug upside-down. They mug as though tomorrow does not exist to mug. They are the sort you see in school EVERYDAY in the same place, same position, maybe even in the same clothes! (Do they ever need to bathe and eat?!) They have a perpetual stoned face, most probably from the overdose of knowledge forever seeping into their brains. They don't drink water, they drink coffee. They don't eat food. They don't breathe. They eat and breathe their notes. They are the ones who turn slowly towards you with murder in their eyes when you talk to them, coz you are disturbing their mugging time. These are the people who are close to attaining nirvana in the mugging world and are to be respected, even though most people keep clear of them coz they are just so weird. Oh, and they are the hated ones who drag up the means and averages of every module they take. To be honest, they seem like supernatural beings.
Ahuh Ahuh (Slacker go mug)
Ahuh Ahuh (Take three... Action)
Ahuh Ahuh
