8-8-08

Babies born today get their faces spread all over the newspapers! ...What?!

If it even qualifies as ''baby publicity'', I think babies born in my batch are the ones that deserve it most. Hey, 8-8-88 okay! Heh, so what's so great about 8-8-08?!

Anyway, the original title of this post- as I was 'constructing' while in LAN class earlier was initially meant to be: Irresponsible Asshole. But, considering that asshole apologized, I shall not degrade him as I had originally planned to.

The story is somewhat of him agreeing to do the presentation while the rest of us were in charge of finding information for the slides. So, so happened today, when class started, that guy was no where to be seen. So I thought to myself, oh well, he's always late anyway..

At 4, still not here yet, so I sms-ed him. No reply.
At 4+, I figured I should just call. No one picked up!
At 4++, I called again. This time, it got through, but guess what?! The conversation that took place is somewhat similar to the below:

Me: Ey, u coming for class or not one?!
Him: Har? Ey, I am in a seminar now lah, I told xxx I not coming today.
Me: WHAT?! You know u are presenting today right??
Him: I in seminar now lah, cannot come for class.
Me: Huh? Then what about our presentation??
Him: Har, I seminar lah, cannot come...
Me: Then did you inform the lecturer?
Him: No..

I was so pissed I would have said into the phone: U f*cking get here now lah wtf.
But no, I passed to phone to Kevin and asked him to do the talking.

So yeah, basically, all he knew how to say was, I IN SEMINAR NOW, NOT COMING FOR CLASS.

Freaking asshole I tell you. If you knew you were going to be in a seminar then don't freaking VOLUNTEER yourself to do the presentation. And if you are freaking not going to show up, the least you could have done was send us an sms. And if you had some sense left in you, you freaking should have at least informed the lecturer that YOU WERE JEOPARDIZING YOUR WHOLE GROUPS RESULTS BY BEING ABSENT WHEN PRESENTATION WAS DUE.

I was honestly so pissed! So pissed that I sent him an sms telling him to screw himself. I absolutely DO NOT tolerate irresponsibility.

Anyhow, that sms of mine managed to get him to response with a very apologetic message saying: I know I deserve no forgiveness... da da da..

So well, I decided to not disclose who that fella is. For those who know, well, good for you. Don't ever entrust an important task to this dude or I can assure you, mission is bound to fail or for that matter, be aborted.

Just needed to get it out.. Now that I am done with that, fellow people, it's the opening of the Beijing Olympics tonight! Go watch it on TV alright! =D

And I have no idea why the mom is giving me a cold shoulder now.. It was so not my fault and she knows it.

Life is just so... unfair.
