My Utterly Rotten Apple!


Why do I always get plagued by rotten high-tech products despite my very best attempt to be an IT-savvy person? Why am I more often being penalised for embracing new IT gadgets when I should be encouraged? (Remember my Nokia N80?) You will know what I am trying to tell you if you look closely at the image above. What do you see? A gorgeous black MacBook? Not really. An utterly rotten Apple with an irritating blue line of dead pixels appearing in the middle of the high-resolution screen. No more Apples for me!

Truly Undesirable Attitudes, Man!

I thought my wrath would have subsided after penning my displeasure over a male group member's working attitudes while working on our AAE101 group project. He pissed me off yesterday by chasing after us for our data and saying, "We don't have much time, you know. Left with 2 weeks only." Anyway, where is the resource book that we have requested from him since 17 September 2007, Monday? 12 days already!!! That was even before the 1-week recess. And what had he been doing during that 1-week break? God knows. And now he dares to come and chase after us for our work?? I was even told that he managed to finish his AED105 individual essay at the eleventh hour?

I am generally good-natured and seldom blow my top. And if I do, that person who incurs my anger must be very, very mean and detestable. The thing about this immature (or overly sensitive) male is that he keeps recycling his infamous lines - "We don't have much time." and "You don't understand what I said." - whenever he feels like picking a fight with us. Who does not understand who at all?? I admit defeat if I am the ONLY one who misunderstands him. But for the 3 of us to misunderstand him? Either he is being not clear with his utterances or we are dumb. And it seems that despite his many years of working experience, the OSOAG fails to develop any soul-searching. Or perhaps in his world, he is always right.

OSOAG - Overly Sensitive Old Age Guy!
