Well, back few weeks ago KK, Denis and me went out shopping in Low Yat. We were taking LRT (Light Rail Transit), and have some conversation about “Heroes” the TV series that is coming out for the second season.

Eventually, KK start saying “yea, at this time, you will have people around you stop moving, Denis is not moving, I am not moving. Then, some stranger come to you and say ‘My name is Hiro Nakamura.’, then before leaving will tell you ‘Save the cheerleader, save the world’, and everything goes back to normal.

Well, just for people who didn’t watch the series, you may not know what is going on. Basically, the phrases said just now was some of the catch phrases in the TV series “Heroes“. Read more…

There is one old joke that I remember, which I heard from my secondary school teacher (Not sure where is its original source). It sounds like this:

There are three pair of couples having their dinner in a restaurant. One pair of British couple, one pair of American couple and one pair of Malaysian couple. There goes the battle of “showing how romantic you are”.

The man of the British couple said “Honey, would you please pass me the honey?”. The man of the American couple, not wanting to lose face said “Sugar, can I have the sugar?”.

Last but not least, the man of the Malaysian couple speaks. “Hey cow, gimme some milk!”.

…… This is so cold.

No doubt, there are a lot of annoying people in this world. Things get worse when you are assigned to a group assignment or a group project, and some of your team members turned out to be the “responsible” team member.

Several categories of “responsible” team member when you are on a group work basis:

• NATO (No-action, Talk-Only) - this kind of people are big talkers, but never really produce anything productive. They can keep giving empty promises, at the end you have to cover the work up for them.
• I-Do-Not-Know-How-To-Do type - this is less destructive compared to the NATO type, at least they push away responsibility in the very beginning already, so at least you have time to deal with their workload (supposed to be assigned to them).
• Credit Stealer - got to admit this type of people is so annoying, that you feel like physically give them a punch in the face. Not only they do nothing, they even take all the credit. They talk loud, and they claim the work of others. Would you able to stand that?
• Hollow Partner - this kind of group members, do not even appear at all. It’s like you are doing a group project, without even knowing his existence. Weird thing is that, they are able to appear when you need to do presentation of your work. Good thing is that, they go low profile and try to keep their presentation short, better that Credit Stealer.

So, have you ever encounter any of the “responsible” team members before?
