Technology Genius
Dee claimed that he was the technical expert at home and in the office. He never gave up any chance to brag about his latest technical acquisition, be it a handphone, a laptop, a printer, a mouse, you name it, he says he has it.
Dee's favourite haunt was Funan Centre.
It used to be Sim Lim Square but a spate of crackdowns on illegal software shops at Sim Lim Square has dented its reputation a little and Dee would never ever be caught being associated with pirated software.
To him, it was nothing but the best. Or nothing.
He had just spent a day at Funan today. He haggled over prices for phones and laptops. He bragged about the latest technological advances in the US and in Europe and belittled the shopkeepers for not having the latest products in their shops.
"Import them! You think we cannot afford?" Dee taunted them.
The shopkeepers are used to Dee. This guy, they feel, seemed to know everything about the latest. He comes often to check prices, look and try out merchandise, but he hardly bought anything there.
Yet, the next time he visited the shop, he could be seen holding on to the very item that he tried out but didn't buy. He was also not beneath bragging about the cut throat prices that he acquired those items.
Dee may be a technological gimmick maverick.
Yet, Dee has a little secret. Beneath his shiny surface, he's a pathetic excuse for a man. He is entirely not able to understand or use most of the everyday stuff for his life. Today, he was caught with his hands in the vertical hand dryer. He left them in there for the longest time. Yet his hands didn't dry up.
Actually, to use the vertical hand dryer, users insert their wet hands into the device and slowly raise their outstretched hands and let the horizontal stream of high pressure wind sweep the water off the hand. The usual drying takes about 10 seconds.
Stared at by an irate toilet user, Dee stood for another 15 seconds (he was already at the dryer since the toilet user went in) and then walked out with his hands still wet.
