Ok, now that I'm calmer, I shall blog on what exactly happened during the weekend. No pepper or vineger or salt added. Juz plain facts.
Last week, our group were the presenters of an econs summary. Supposedly, we should have done the powerpoint before the weekend together as a group. Tiffany (now we know her name) was supposed to bring her laptop which weighs about 1.8kg to school so we could discuss together...
I was aware she stays in Bishan, so I offered to bring as well, in case it's too trouble some for her, but she said no need, she can handle. I even reminded her before Friday to bring
Then when we met up at Dover, Friday morning, She said, "Hey, I din bring my laptop la, why dun we juz discuss and write down on a paper den, I go home and do?"
We were shocked. I, in the first place, never liked changes of plans when everyone agreed to something already... But, nvm, since she has the sincerity to volunteer to do it at home. During our discussion, she looked like she was dying to leave. She told us she had a BBQ to attend in about 1 hour. So we chop-chop finish split our duties and went home.
During the weekend, wanyi and I quickly finished our parts of the summary and I compiled ours together. Then I contacted Tiffany. She said, "I'm not feeling well, I think I'm having fever la..." She can even tell me she was at a coffee outlet surfing the net!
"But I'll still do the powerpoint", she assured.
I said, "U finished already, pass to me so we can compile..."
Then later, we somehow came to an agreement; do it, save it, compile on Monday.
Sunday,
Me: remember to bring ur powerpoint and laptop huh~
Tiff: Am veri sick- Having fever... Ya, I'll bring the laptop and pwpt tmr
Monday, Wanyi and I reach Dover. Tiffany was no where in sight. So we went for our lessons without her, assuming and hoping that she'll juz be late because of fever... Hell, were we wrong. During the lesson, she sent this msg: "Sorri guys, have high fever. Can't make it to school today(FULLSTOP)" Immediately, my mind went into PANIC MODE. What about our powerpoint?! Can U send it to someone now?? I msged- She never replied.
So we went to speak to our econs tutor... Fortunately for us, he said we could postpone it to next week. We convinced him that what happened was realli unexpected and last minute. Later on that day, she told us she'll be on 2 days mc... still no indications what-so-ever of our missing presentation.
When she came back, we told her the tr let us postpone to the next monday. She just nodded her head. I told her to send me her presentation through MSN or email etc. These were her responses:
"Later can? I not free now..."
Me: anything lor, anywae i'll check it late"
(At night, I found out that she hasn't sent over yet, and msg her for it again)
"I think no need la, I'll juz bring the CD for u tmr."
Next day, NO CD. then she keep quiet, like thinking I wouldn't rmb...
Then last weekend, she put up the sick sign again- dengue fever... I told her, better pass me her presentation SO THAT IT CAN BE CARRIED OUT ON MONDAY NO MATTER WHAT...
She chose to remain uncontactable. It msg her, telling her strictly to reply us... Soon my patience ran out after waiting for her reply and calling her to no avail... my final msg to her was pretty fierce;
Tiffany, I dun noe wad happened 2 u, but Pls, giv us a reply asap! Maybe ur in hospital.. but wad abt our econs summary? Are u done wif ur section? - No need to say la, she nv bothered to reply...
I got SO PISSED OFF by that, I actually miss call many times intentionally... If someone put the hp to silent, den later see that i has so mani missed calls, wud have enuf brains left to call back no matter how high the fever right~! dead wrong again! I ended so fuming MAD, I nearly cried... I become rude to my parents... but after a while, I told my mum what happened..
That night, I asked for a late night ride in my dad's car to cool off... My whole family came along and I din think abt the incident that night.
On Sunday, Wanyi and I finished off her job for her...
I brought the laptop for our presentation on Monday. I was thinking, U better not show up in school today; U have a lot to answer to... we "tapped" out off Dover station and there she was. Non-chalant as ever!!! We tried to ignore her as much as possible... Then after the first lesson, we felt it was too awkward for us, who were angry. So we approached her, pretending not to be fed-up with her... The first thing I heard her say was: " Ey, I tell U all arh, my com crash, so I dun haf my powerpoint..."
"SNAP!" the torelance cord in us went...
She did it, she realli did it... she made me dislike someone like I've disliked anyone before... And the BEST PART was, she wanted to go home becoz she was still "feeling unwell".. We were like go la go la, we also dun wan u to claim any credit for our presentation!
I think I most disgusted by her total lack of responsibility... I mean, if u're sick, or ur com was "sick", THE LEAST U COULD DO WAS TELL US! She left us hanging by a thread of what had happened to her & the pwpt, THEN drop a bomb on us the LAST MINUTE everytime... no one can ever imagine how terrible our situation is, working with such PEOPLE!!! U all could see right, she had sooo mani chances to get help from us early, but she chose to ignore and annoy us.
GOD! I still have TWO PROJECTS WITH HER IN MY GROUP!!! ARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
