Club 30's "Kill the Boredom Demon" Jive Pad, 33rd Edition

To be frank, I know of a few psychos who actually stay back in the NUS Central Library every single night till 10pm from the very beginning of the semester.Originally posted by elindra:Fudgie you study too hard
Bear....Frog massager? what the heck is that
I don't how these guys do it... I can only maintain all-out revision mode for about four weeks before I start to burn out.
But then again, those aforementioned guys are the ones with perfect point averages. I know that I can't get anywhere near their standard.
I just want to put in my best effort and accept whatever that happens. -
are they good at anything other then answering exam questions
i've seen many who cannot do anything other than that... -
*sigh*Originally posted by elindra:Cos he knows that the ham murderer needs the money for his wife treatment
and this is why I insure my ass to the hilt, if I ever kena cancer or whatever I can cover the cost of my treatment on my own without needing to be employed or becoming a burden to anyone else.

*sigh*Originally posted by viciouskitty74:This is just like the previous year, all over again!
I am so sianzzz.
sell it to either party and just be done with it once and for all? -
Fudgie, you'd be suprised how many of this kind completely fall apart when they start working. Some of them cannot accept failure, and do not have the resileince to recover from setbacks.Originally posted by fudgester:To be frank, I know of a few psychos who actually stay back in the NUS Central Library every single night till 10pm from the very beginning of the semester.

You've got a point there.Originally posted by the Bear:are they good at anything other then answering exam questions

To be frank, I sometimes wonder how they're going to learn to properly socialise and interact with others.
And really, to some students, all that matters is what they learn in their textbooks and lecture notes. Everything else is a 'waste of time' to them, and they read the newspapers and news magazines for the sake of doing well for their GP.
I can agree that such mercenary students would excel in academic knowledge, but they would be sorely lacking in all other areas.

well ... here's a thought people ....
do you think its worthwhile for me to return home eventually ? ....
if you were in my shoes, would you come home ? ....
(note that I still use the word "home" ... it's still the place that tugs at my heartstrings .... )
but sometimes .... -
Yeah.... I remember reading a very interesting HR article on academics who suck at learning at the workplace precisely because they have never tasted failure before.Originally posted by av98m:Fudgie, you'd be suprised how many of this kind completely fall apart when they start working.

In the end, they end up not only fearing failure, but fearing the fear of failure itself. -

families.
you give an inch. they want a foot. -
If you're making a good living there, the ans is NO. Unless there are other push or pull factors.Originally posted by Fatum:well ... here's a thought people ....

Esp if you're thinking of 4 fatumnettes.

Sometimes it hits them even earlier. I had a few all A students in my platoon during NS that completely came apart at the seams because they could not take the army and the change of environment and spent their national service being transferred from unit to unit and probably saw the SAF counsellers more than their own parents. And mind you, none of them were even in combat vocations. Most were clerks. We had one such case in my dept and the bloke could not even do the simplest of tasks. He scored like 4 As for his A levels. I did not stay in touch with them and quite frankly I doubt if they are doing well in their working life, assuming they are even employed.Originally posted by fudgester:Yeah....

I mean Ham murderer is lucky that he has my boss
No where else will he be getting the pay he is getting now coz he is grossly overpaid for what he is doing -
Another example that happened even earlier: A guy I know in uni from another faculty - he failed one paper in his first year - his very first failure in his whole life then. He couldn't take it and decided to transfer school - to another uni in another country.Originally posted by av98m:Sometimes it hits them even earlier.
