This is in response to Wenky’s suggestion… many many months back!

To satisfy the criteria the person-in-concern should:
a) Satisfy 5 or more of the following points.
b) Satisfy at least 3 of the following points, AND be able to recite the entire criteria.

1. myopathic face (6th cause)
- could be secondary to depression, lack of sleep (bilateral ptosis), generalised ’sianness’ or a combination of factors

2. have spent at least 4 years in an institution where studies take up a greater proportion of time than sleep time, meal times, socialising and ‘pak-tor’-ing time.

3. when startled (eg. by someone patting them on the back), turns around with a wild look in the eyes, alternately brandishes a tendon tapper or yells, ‘I NEED MORE TIME TO STUDY!’

4. willingly gives up all angbaos during CNY in order to study more!

5. has the stamina to study from 9am to 9pm AND more hours at home if he/she should desire so… and do it continuously for a week at least!

6. has undergone significant weight change (gain or loss of 5% of body weight) over the last 4 months… (haha i know the criteria is different from our usual 10% in 6m)

7. have sighed an average of thrice daily for the past 3 months. HAIZZZ…

8. be able to recite detailed TMN staging for breast cancer in one breath
