Prophecies Of Pendomonium

                  Thanks Shanker for your enlightening piece on mcs. As you guys knows, the mcs have developed into one of God’s Boons to modern Society. Where can one peice of paper have the power to completely render your day free so that one can go shopping.. wait wait.. sorrry rest at home and recover from his serious ailment that is currently corroding his lungs into pulp. Somehow every mc is justified these days with syptoms that seem to rock the foundation of earth. I mean 2 days mc for sore throat. That is so correct. His tonsil must have been in such bad shape that if he opened his mouth it might have rolled out. Now, as much as the use of the mc has been looked at disapprovingly, a major reason it still holds its position is due to one factor, TRUST. This word be it in work, relationships wadever the case is vital and one cannot stress further on its importance. But , recently, ive seen a large rise on this trust being felled.

                  At work, the standard thing to do after a World Cup match( mind you at 3am), since we all are exposed to the intense radiations of the televisions screens, is to develop CFS(Compulsive Fever Syndrome). Hence one has to do the ‘dreaded’ job of reporting sick. So when does this become a menace and one’s trust called into question. Most, of the times, being human beings, we would realise that another can become ill. Becoming ill 3 times a week may be normal in Mars, but sorry its a little hard to believe on earth. And worse still is the mentality of taking mcs to siam work. That is when one who places the trust in you completely loses it. Its important that one sticks his neck out when he takes a job if not the quality is gonna be zitch. Forget about this ideal. If ya do something make sure ya do it well if not ya gonna have to re-do it. Simple. No ones gonna lets you off with a shody job. And by taking this bloody mc, you are still gonna have to do your job eventually and worse still, its gonna be at the expense of your co-workers looking at ya like scum(which you probarbly already are). Basically, you are going to have to work in a situation where peple will push all work to you cause they will never feel you are an equal contributer( Though an extremely devout one when it comes to mcs).

                 Another thing which makes this entire scenario hilarious are the guys who take mc and then feel they are gonna get caught. Eh doofus, if ya know ya gonna get burnt, why put ya hand in the fire. They happily declare they are on mc. Then they squibble to even go out of their house to get dinner. Im talking about the basic necessities of living here, not watching movies all ar (That "illegal"). So if ya believe that people are keeping such a close watch on you it mean that obviously you are doing the valiant thing of skiving off right. Especially since you believe that you are important enough to be watched 24/7 by the someone( yes you are Singapore’s Top Secret agent wannabes). Then why the hell do you wanna get off anyway. Might as well clear what you have to and do it such that people don’t actually bother about you and are genuinely concerned about your helat. Don’t get me wron here. I dont advocate mcing. But one cannot deny that once of twice there may have been that twinkling desire to abscond right. Make sure you always have the trust of your peers. It will take you far. No body is gonna report you for being chow keng if you work hard for them. And people do have brains, if you believe otherwise, to know that an injury cannot take a year to recover, unless ya have to regrow half your brain or something.

                  And just to add on to this point on brains, I think Shankar makes a valid point about taking an mc and dancing for a show. Ive, seen this like 3 times already. And dancing one week after coming off an mc does not count as well. As much a ‘talented’ dancer that ya may be, i aint thinkin ya gonna learn steps in a week and others can probarbly work that out. Yes, and be wary. People tend to get a litlle peeved when they have to do a job when they see their peers having a mini- holiday. So make sure you don’t trust everythin around you that plainly. The downfall of many have been in the hands of misplaced faith and as they say "Assumption is the mother of all fuck-ups"
