Awkward moment

by Nazri on 5/08/2009

An interesting day today, worthy enough to be penned down!

I was grouped with 2 girls for my Client Server Application Development(CSAD) assignment.

Last Friday, they didn’t seem to be interested in doing their work when the deadline was just hours away. I took matters into my own hand and did everything on my own.

After I have completed everything and burned it onto a CD and ready for submission, they asked whether i would like to combine the work.

Is that a joke? When I already finished everything?

I ignored them.

Today, Wednesday, is our presentation for the assignment that was due on last Friday. I already told them on Monday, we are separating as a group. When Mr Lim, our CSAD tutor, walked in. They had a talk with him.

Soon after it was my turn.

I just HAD to spill all the beans. I was very prepared. I printed reasons why i decided to abandon them. Mind you, it’s 3/4 of a page. Are you gawking yet? It’s a paper filled with complex things and it is somewhat deadly. Xavius had a peek at it and he was shocked. He was like, are you seriously gonna say this out? This is really nasty. Spare some thought for the girls.

4 words.

What do i care?

Mr Lim eventually singled me out and we had a talk outside.

LOL IT WAS AWKWARD?

I explain everything why i abandon them but i didn’t say the last sentence in the paper which can turn the table around and give the girls a one big fat zero. The only reason was that they were given extra time to ‘understand’ the codes. i said stuff about how i gave them enough time to complete and yet nothing is being and i mention i notice them playing in class instead of doing work. And so on.

The weird part was that, the girls did submit their part of the work. When they talked to Mr Lim, they say that they didn’t understand the codes. Intriguing isn’t it? They do not understand the codes yet at the same time they manage to come out with codes for the assignment. It doesn’t make sense.

Obviously we can deduce 2 conclusions. Either they copied someone or someone did it for them. I reckon it’s the latter since I DO know who did it and i did hear them cheering and said “Ohh Thanks XXXXXX!”

I said to Mr Lim, “Who knows, someone did it for them.” sarcastically. Later on, I DID mention the name of the person who did it. LOL.

I was talking with Mr Lim and he proceed on saying, so you guys are not talking anymore?

I said, yeah not talking anymore. I wanted to say, “What do i have to lose anyway?” but i didn’t it sounds rather smug.

And i told him I’m changing class too so it doesn’t matter. He was surprised and asked, you’re changing class next semester because of them?

I said yeah, most of them are going to the C# route and I chose the Java route.

And then somehow i told him i was introvert but i don’t remember how we got there. And he began changing the topic and started talking about me instead.

And he began questioning me like, so you’re alone most of the time & who do you voice out if you have issues of difficulty?

I was thinking myself, good lord why are is he talking about me now? Isn’t the focus of this talk is about the CSAD assignment? One more question he’s gonna ask about me and I’m gonna say “Mr Lim, i thought the focus of this talk is about them and not about me excuse me.”

LOL. I don’t like it when people ask me those questions, makes me feel uneasy.

My reply is even more comical.

“I AM JUST WEIRD OKAY?”

LOL.

He did mention later on saying that like it’s important to voice out if you have difficulties and stuff.

That is pretty much sums up my conversation with Mr Lim.

I was the first guy to present.

Devaju back to my WDS presentation which i did so badly.

My presentation is super short. AND MY INSERT STATEMENT SUDDENLY DECIDED TO CRAP OUT OF ME WHEN I TESTED IT LIKE A BILLION TIMES AT HOME. I SWEAR IT’S THE BLOODY SHITTY COMPUTER AT SCHOOL.

I really hope I didn’t screw up my presentation that bad.

All in all, it was a good day.

Now, I’m left with my French assignment and designing of brochure for my CMSK.
