It was a tearful renuion, with tears of joy being shed as they embraced each other, one passive and planotic while the other boundlessly enthusiastic...

"Computer! Internet! I've missed yooooooou!" *glomps*

The Modem shuddered in disgust (or perhaps, from the sheer force and massive weight tracing an arc through the air).

Ok, so the above passage is abit anticlimatic.

It's true, and BOY, I'm glad that my Broadband connection is FIXED. There's nothing worse than being able to on your computer and realising the broadband is down so you cannot surf the internet...

Maybe it's due to suppressed anger yyesterday. I almost wished I had a voodoo doll.

KNN I AM ANGRY AGAIN!

My friends know I am in a project work group (Read! CCHMS 2008). and that my group members consist of, fortunately, Kai Ting, Zi Yu, and unfortunately Sharon.

Kai Ting did most of the work, she put the most effort in. She did the slides and put up with translating to the Chinese guy (my chinese stinks) and putting up with my sarcasm and bad moods. As the RIGHTFUL group leader (yes, it was by votes) I feel rather guilty that I was not abl;e to do more.

However, Mrs Lim (2007 English Literature teacher, Onions should know her) came up and decided to 'appoint' Sharon as the -unofficial- leader, calling us 'Sharon's group'.

I don't give a damn about this, because I can work on the sidelines and if anything goes wrong, the in-charge will be in Hot Hell. However, I did come out with the idea and tried to develop it. It was my brainchild, and of course I hoped that the project went smoothly right?

You notice up till now I have not listed Zi Yu's or Sharon's contributions. Yes, they did not contribute, but I do not blame Zi Yu (No offence, Zi Yu, but you would have been a hindrance more than a help, I think you are fine as you are, just sitting there quietly...engrossed in something). Besides, he's not really fluent in English, so he probably doesn't understand the rapid-fire instructions.

However, our dear Sharon is, I assume, perfectly fluent in English. Therefore, she does not have ANY EXCUSE WHATSOEVER to SKIP OUT ON MEETINGS and NOT DO ANYTHING BUT CLAIM CREDIT FOR OUR HARD WORK!!!!!!!

But then again she could be a moron, or a perfect nitwit.

We (Kai Ting and I, with Kai Ting doing about 60%) did all the work, from presentations to filing. That day, on Tuesday, we were the ones who met her and came up with the proposal. EVERY. SINGLE. FUCKING. THING.

I did the proposal as Kai Ting had something on (she needs a break, anyway) and when Mrs Lim met us on Thursday, WE were the ones with the prepared proposal. Sharon? Oh, she stood there and did the LABRIOUS job of looking at my written words. Is this group work? You bet it is! It's the most individualised group work I have ever seen! One person who is fluent in Chinese, one lazy, incorrigible asshole, one hardworking girl and one (sometimes slacking) sarcastic 'voice' and 'thinker' of the group!

Mrs Lim told us that the deadline for the poster was very tight and we needed to hand it in by recess. I compiled the text and gave it to Sharon to do, thinking that she would be able to get off her fat, obnoxious arse and DO something for a change, instead of leeching off other's ideas.

I and Kai Ting askd her repeatedly that day after recess, but all she gave us was a deadpan face (yeah, that look of the woman in RD with a huge snout of a nose) and CLAIMED she did so.

Stupidly, we trusted her. I wanted to give her a chance, but unfortunately one must remember that sometimes it does not opay to be kind.

On Friday, everyone witnessed how Mr Becury informed 'Sharons's group' to meet Mrs Lim at the MRL. I had the information earlier (thanks, Xin Zi) and told the group (Kai Ting, who informed Zi Yu) about it. I was pretty nonplussed about it, thinking that Sharon had completed the project and everything. I and Kai Ting dashed out of the classroom, waiting for Zi yu,and I was looking at Sharon. Somehow, my subconcious knew that something bad was about to happen, and that Sharon would be the prime antagonist.

True enough, Sharon did not turn up for the meeting.

We then rushed to the MRL. Mrs Lim was waiting there. She then informed us that she did not receive the poster. (!!!)

You'd think that things couldn't get worse. But it did.

The VICE PRINCIPAL heard about our project and was keen to organise it for us. Therefore, not only are we keeping the PW teachers waiting to execute the project, we were keeping the VICE PRINCIPAL HERSELF waiting.

Oh, and let's not forget the the ONE AND ONLY COPY OF THE TEXT was with, none other than our darling Sharon, who had begun a hasty migration home. And at three, I had my flute lesson, so I couldn't really stick around to help.

I typed out the text hurriedly and let Kai Ting and Zi Yu do the work. Thank God they managed to finish it, therefore bringing a happy ending to the fiasco.

BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT OF IT.

THE POINT IS THAT SHARON, THE LAZY F***ER JUST RAN GALLIVATING OUT ON US AND LIED, KNOWING FULL WELL THAT SHE DID NOT DO HER PART AND WANTS TO GET HER MARKS WITHOUT PUTTING IN ANY EFFORT.

AT LEAST ZI YU STAYED BACK LAST FRIDAY TO HELP. WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU? DON'T GIVE ME ANY EXCUSES, I'M NOT FUCKING INTERESTED. DON'T GIVE ME THAT PATHETIC KICKED-PUPPY LOOK. I DON'T CARE. HATE ME, DETEST ME, BUT YOUR HORRENDOUS ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOUR WILL STALK YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE.

This is another reason why you can't trust people in general-- they are just lazy pigs who want their cake without baking or buying it.
