the college life i've never experienced

tonight, I accompanied my mom while she watched TV. she was watching Bio-nik, a Malay drama about *surprise, surprise* a bionic guy, the story's kinda like Robocop, where he was involved in a gruesome fatal accident, and it turned out that his father was a neuroscience professor, so he was turned into a bionic man. minus the cop and the robotic costume.

anyways, what i found both amusing and dumb is the attitudes of the students at a college (TPM college? never heard of it!) the bionic person was going to. in my college, things between the students are usually quite peaceful, tolerable and beautiful (err...not so much XD). things may get ugly between some bitches, but those melodramatic scenes are to be dusted under the carpet (who wanna care about them? let them fight and kill each other, the one left standing will be us XD).

anyways! the medical students are quite shunted from the other students of UNIMAS. we're far away from them. we dont really go to the main campus, and if we do, it would be some administrative stuff, or events like graduations. so yeah, we dont socialize much with other people, we dont really have the campus life thingy, and we're confined to our cosy little hemisphere XD.

so, do these things that happened in the drama really happened? like;

1. students wear jeans n tees, or clothes like hip hop and rock star wanna-bes
2. they use "gua" and "lu" with each other a la samseng kampung (SUPER MASSIVE MAJOR YUCK!!)
3. stereotypes still exist = jocks n geeks or whatever, and they fight with each other like high schoolers.
4. students fighting irrationally and barbarically over stupid little things (usually involving the most popular and so-called beyond the world the most beautiful *unsurprisingly, education is brushed aside in those drama* girl in the college)
5. they think acting dumb and making stupid so-not-funny jokes equals to "coolness"

yeah, those are some difference that i spotted. it might just be the drama production of Malaysians are not really parallel with reality. what are they trying to tell me about Malaysian college students? what message are they trying to convey? that Malaysian students think those stuff are actually cool? that those are actually the epitome of a campus life? *vomited a bit in my mouth!!*

sorry im being a bit too harsh in criticising Malaysian drama. its just that parading dumb attitudes throughout the drama is quite unacceptable. or is it really how a campus life is in real life? i dunno. enlighten me.
