What is the difference bet man and woman????

I know the CtYF NTM is way overdue and yes, i got it written down in my HP in bits and pieces (wrote as i commuted on trains these past days and week). And no, i have not completed and so wait. BUT i need to write this down lest i forget every detail of it and its exasperation.....

Yesterday Dr lowly n I went for dinner after a staff meeting in his office. I was rushing to make it to prayer meeting on time as i was the pianist for the night. It was already 7.40pm and he parked at West Mall. I came out of the car eagerly and started walking to the exit door. I stopped and turned to look when i sensed he wasnt beside me. Saw him fidgeting next to the car and thought perhaps he wanted to take something out or what..... Waited a while before i realised he was struggling. Walked back and was told "this stupid electronic stuff just couldnt lock".

"Huh?" Yes, it is a new car and yes, new high-end technology... but comeon, what can be so difficult to lock it up? He said the car just refused to be locked as there were signs indicated at the dashboard that something was just not right.

"What was it? Just follow the sign and settle."

He didnt reply me. Gave me a "i know better than you" look and continued in his struggles. I had a glance at the alert sign and offered suggestions like brake, footbrake, parking gear, etc.... You know when a man is angry or frustrated, he is not listening.... sigh....

Then i told him to pretend he is driving out, start the engine, off it and then lock the car. Surprisingly, he "obeyed". But it didnt work. The annoying sign was still there and i was going to be real late. And so came the next suggestion from me, "Why dont you just pretend to drive, as in move out 1 foot and move back"....he tried and no solution in sight.

Desperate, i said, "Why dont you let me try?".....he was angry, as in like what can he not do that i can do......besides, it is his car key, set to his seating height and depth and i didnt bring mine. So what difference does it make who try to lock it. But with all the stupid cow sense i have in my head, i still insisted that he let me try. He has been going in and out, starting and trying to off the engine for umpteen times....it will be a long long night and no harm of me trying.....

MCP??? Haha... i would think so.... When i asked the 3rd time to let me try, he gave me a look like "you are neither smart nor have common sense and there is nothing you can do that will ever make a difference". I never gave up. I thought maybe a 2nd person, 2nd touch can make an impact... hahaha... i dont know. I needed to settle this problem real quick and it was really silly wasting time over the BIG toy that refuse to SHUT UP!

Oh man..... i bit my lip and asked the 4th time. This time, either out of frustration or just wanted to see me "defeated", he passed me the electronic key. At that moment, i didnt know if i could "solve" the silly problem, and so i sat on the seat. As i pressed the switch to turn off engine, for the first time i saw the warning sign clearly......the front passenger door is not locked.... as in the pic showed that door. Immediately, i came out, went over the other side, opened and closed it. Then i handed the key to him to lock it......so pretty sure it would work this time. True enough the car SHUT UP.

It was a moment of which he didnt know whether to be angry with me or not.... COZ i was THE ONE who caused the problem....didnt close it properly when i came out. BUT didnt he read the sign??? What does a man really see when something is flashing? I wonder.... but you know what, i arrive at this conclusion:

A woman creates a problem of which a man has no clues to solving it nor able to control it and finally, it takes a woman to end it.

And i was late for prayer meeting, they had to sing acapella before exhortation.....argh.....

hmmmm what can i comment except to agree with both hands raised real high. so for the sake of convenience, i will never go for high-tech things. i prefer simple and conventional ones that are easy to manage and handle. my wireless printer tho not so high-tech is already a headache to me liao.....
