I threw a question through the most trusted private email to a lecturer of a particular lecture. Was expecting a reply for several days. So I patiently waited, thinking he might take a week or so to reply thinking of the possible extensive research he might be undergoing.
No! Halfway during lecture when everyone was restless and just had their break, he flashed tutorial questions and suddenly, my email. Yes, uncut, uncensored, unaltered. With the polite addresses "Dear Dr.X and Yours Sincerely, Me" still dangling in the screen. Horror! Horror! Just when I realise the horrifying moment, he asked that question;
So who is me! urgh!
People started turning their heads and as I was sitting at some strategically located back aisle seat, I was opened for full view. The natural reaction would be to cover my face with whatever notes I can find but felt it was a bad idea cos everyone will be able to identify me easier as I was the only one (as i can see) in orange today.
And that was my accidental instant fame.
Fortunately, it is very forgettable. If not, I will be labelled Chao Mugger or the guy who emailed.
