In conjunction with the release of the CHENG WOO's new policies regarding education and procreation, an informal study revealed that the easiest most commonly used method to pick up GIRLS is to FAKE STUDYING. Contrary to popular belief that this method has long fallen out of fashion; faking studying was, is, and will still be employed effectively by thousands of students. It has withstood the demeaning trials of time and technology. SAMedia discovered that it is through this process (or excuse) of studying together that the necessary bonds form and feelings develop between the two parties involved.

SAMedia understands from Associate Professor Du Shi Shu, Director of the National Evaluation and Research Development Service (NERDS) that when GUYS and GIRLS are engaged in the process of STUDYING, up to 79.4% of the total time spent is unproductive. Prof Du indicated that nearly all of this time is wasted on taking discreet glances, fantasising at each other and discussing what to do after that. " There are just too many distractions present for either party if they were to study together," commented Prof Du. "The other party himself or herself could be the greatest distraction of all."

New Understanding Training School (NUTS), rival company of the NERDS, spoke to SAMedia over a telephone interview that gave a clearer insight on this issue. NUTS Chairman Dr Chin Chuay Chek told SAMedia that the stresses involved in studying also play a pivotal role in assisting the overall development of feelings. Dr Chin was quoted saying that "when u are all stressed up u need to do something to relieve it and the first person u'll turn to is the person supposedly studying beside u." He indicated that very often both parties are equally stressed up and hence the tendency to seek solace from each other is very high.

NUTS has been closely monitoring this issue for a fairly long period of time and were able to produce conclusive results from its research. NUTS have verified that 79.4% of the time spent in the process of studying is unproductive, agreeing in principle with NERDS that most of this time is spent facing distractions. "The other reason is that when u are studying, u are bound to come across stuffs that u do not understand," said Dr Chin. "This is when u ask the other person for help, and it won't take long for u to feel indebted towards the other person." This feeling, SAMedia learned, makes the indebted person want to give more than he receives in the future.

Researchers at SamLab Technologies Linguistics (STL) have determined another important factor that both the NUTS and NERDS overlooked. Associate Professor Toa Lam Pah, Assistant Director of STL, explained that the release of results also has a significant effect on the way the feelings develop. Prof Toa said, "When results are released, [usually] a sense of satisfaction engulfs both parties and they turn to each other again to share this happy feeling." He summarises it by indicating that such relationships develop quickly when joy, grief, stress and gratitude is closely shared between two persons.

While this process disadvantages those who are not in favour of hitting the books often, it does not completely exclude them, as a well-timed effort or two can set the atmosphere right for such sparks to fly. Prof Du made this point clear by giving SAMedia an example, citing that "an effort, whether genuine or doctored, gives the impression of desiring to work hard, and almost always gears the other party into a similar drive." He continues to add that as long as the two are engaged in the act of studying, the basic conditions for a relationship to take root have been "set right".

In fact, the CHENG WOO is already recommending and putting into place measures that require schools to trim and fine-tune the syllabus, starting right from JC then downwards. This wise move allows JC students more time to study, interact, and procreate among themselves. This interaction is critical as it largely determines what kind of activity that students could possibly engage in during study breaks. And since SEX relieves stress, and studying is forever so stressful, this could prove to be a breakthrough solution for our Nation's ever-declining birthrate. SAMedia will use this explanation to solve the mystery behind why GIRLS in NUS and NTU are able to derive so much unparalleled pleasure from studying, something which has never occurred in JC or sec sch.
