This shall be the last part of the experiment. We have seen the good and the bad. Now, the ugly.
Honorary Mr. Ong Khan Lee (PKR) from N24 Kebun Bunga replied to my email on May 24. I present to you the verbatim (that means word-for-word) reply from him:
Personally I m not aware of the price and tender but what I know so far that each of us will be given a laptop and printer and this was approved by the previous government!
Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device via Vodafone-Celcom Mobile.
Yea, Mr. Ong Khan Lee. Personally I am not aware of the price too. If I did, I wouldn’t have asked you. And if I asked that means I hope you could find out for me, you know, since you’re an assemblyman and all and you supposedly have more power than I do.
I don’t know if the last line was automatically generated from his BlackBerry® or what. I presume it is.
What surprised me more was the use of the punctuation – the exclamation mark (!) at the end of his email. When I first received it, I do not know how to interpret it. I asked my brother and he said it was of excitement. I see it as anger.
Maybe my emails has come as an annoyance to him and he decided to say “Piss off” with the exclamation mark. I still do not know. As if that’s not enough, two days later on 27 May he sent me another email, saying this:
!
That’s all. If you don’t believe me, have a look:
Yea, he seems pretty pissed to me. A screenshot from my Gmail.
Well, I have no idea whatsoever what he was trying to present to me. Maybe it was a typing mistake or something. Or maybe even the BlackBerry® is angry with my email and decided to say piss off to me one more time.
Well, the real reason for it? We will never know. That’s another mystery of the universe.
