Students are the most entertaining lot of people. Looking at them navigate the trials that come with being a student sure brings back memories. Their form communication really quite fascinating. The way they express, the way they exclaim, pure uncut entertainment. Not the actual conversation but relating to how 2 male  students communicate with each other on the topic of revising for their test capturing the essence of their unique and rather crude exchange of words. 

*Note: some words have been censored out purposefully for the sake of imagination and because words like that are not very nice and polite. In fact it is extremely rude. And if you are local, my advice is to read it with that Singaporean tone. But if you are not, I apologise.

Two male students walk into the MRT and dropped their bags on the floor as they leaned against the connecting section of the train.

"Eh eh eh bro! You got study or not yesterday??? For the test today?" 

"Aiya! Ok la. Study a bit lor"  came the reply of the friend.

"Don't  lie ah bro... Your a bit is the whole book right!!!???"

 To which the friend replied with much exclamation, "F*** you! M*****F*****! I spend the whole night sleeping la you. Tired leh study"

Ignoring his friend's reply, he ask "So which topic you study?"

"Don't know la you. Ask so much! A lot to study. Think will fail lor"

"Again anyhow you M*****F*****! Your last test you nearly full marks"

The friend adjusted from his leaning position and shook his head, for a brief moment, a slight smile could be seen.

"Luck la bro. Is luck. Is my cheat sheet got all the right formulas. Hahaha....."

"Tsk tsk. You a**. Eh eh, you know that time the cher show us the question, you think will come out or not? He teach until so much. Like will come out like that"

Clearly agitated now as the friend adjusts his positioning again ,"Aiya! Don't know la. Come out don't come out. Also like that what!"

"Think I better go check that question. Later come out. then GG how?"

He desperately rummages through his bad and fishes out his dogged-eared file with bits of pieces of paper sticking out everywhere 

"Eh bro, what the question ah? Something to do with some what math formula right? You cheat sheet got remember to put bo?"

The friend rolled his eyes, "Aiya! Don't know la. My cheat sheet also anyhow do one last night. So many formulas. How remember???"

Still looking through the file he answers his friend back, "What the s***. How come my English homework in this file? Eh eh, later reach school show me that question. I want see if I can remember how to do"

The friend shook his head once again, "K la k la! Eh f*** you bro. Next stop already, you still searching! Fail already la bro!"

"Weh weh f*** you understand. F*** you" , as he shoves his file back into his bag and follows his friend out of the train.

Entertainment. And cheers my friend to the life of a student.
