hi five undergrads!

introducing the latest entry to the list of vulgarities here at maisngsiao: m*gging.

come this time of the year it's in to be seen m*gging, be it the library, benches, smelly canteens, or fast food chains with tables so small my kipling pencil box occupies half of it. exam stress? can't cope with your work? bullshit.

it'd come to my noble attention that undergrads are lying assholes. before i elaborate, let's take a look at an example:

*conversation between knoddy and a random undergrad. for convenience sake, let's just call him fuckface.*

"eh desmond.... how?!?! stress lei.. think i'm gonna fail my xxxx. it's so tough! i'm so gonna fail trust me."

"sure anot fuckface. i see you chao pia everyday in the library since the first week of school and you still think you're gonna fail? take it easy la"

"nonono i'm serious! i totally can't grasp the concept... xxxxxxxxxxx." whateverrr.

*after the release of results*

"eh fuckface so how, did you fail your xxxx as promised?"

"no! lucky sia i passed... phew!"

"awesome... so you got d la."

"errrrrrrrrr............ actually... i got b la.. hehe!"

as you can see, i'm pretty disturbed by this kinda behaviour. people come to me and bitch about some subject they're gonna fail and yet do so well in the end. wtf is wrong with them? they m*g like fuck, do all their tutorials before hand and still wanna fucking complain just for the sake of it, to gain empathy and for their sickening self-gratification.

in reality mr fuckface may be damn worried about failing a particular module but sub-fucking-consiously, he's actually aiming for an a grade. therefore he panicks when he stumbles upon some lame ass concept that got him buffled and may prevent him from achieving nirvana.

"oh no i don't understand this small portion. there goes my distinction!"

which leads me to the conclusion that... people actually aim to do well in university!

*enter damn shocking music*

whatever happened to 'just do well enough to proceed to next stage' mentality and all play no work attitude of jc and sec school?! no more! come university, the whole world has to m*g just because everyone's doing it.... fuck gimme back my jc days anytime man.

acherly other than this culture shock, i have nothing against people who aim high. go ahead get your first class honours, i don't give a flying fish. but if you aim high and behave like mr fuckface, go see a shrink. you are sick in the head.

in all seriousness, there is absolutely no need to m*g as an undergrad. no doubt the workload is slightly heavier and concepts may be difficult to grasp, but with relatively consistent work, one will definitely do well enough to pass. and if you wanna get distinction, well don't ask me... consult your m*ugger friend.

man i'm so fucking slack and lovin' it. i can't stand myself sometimes though, but that's only sometimes.

off to m*g loh!
