Keeping up with times...

I'm quite a technologically challenged person. Seriously, i say that with no shame what so ever. I was probably MMU's biggest misfit, and as mentioned before my name and the current company I'm working in equates oxymoron.

Its amazing how i get along really, seeing as how almost everything is done via the computer or some sort of machine nowadays. I'm quite chicken in that area. Actually i think the correct phrase would be lacadasical. Doing it old school style always worked for me so i never saw the need to adventure out and try doing things the simplified way.

Confessions coming your way. You're allowed to laugh and mock me at future meet ups.

Hi, my name is Annu and i've never made an online transaction. I dont even have an online banking account. The only tech savvy thing i do at banks, before today of course is deposit cheques through the machine instead of line up at the counter. Everything else, i would, like a good (ignorant) citizen, get myself a number and wait in line.

TODAY, i deposited money into my account by dropping the new fresh smelling 50 notes into a bin, machine! You have no idea how much anxiety was going through every iota of my body at that moment. It was like looking at my hard earned moolah fall in a dark pit with no end, never to be seen again! I finally ceased to hyperventilate when the nice guard took me to the table set up to renew my bank book and i saw the money in. But i have to admit, it was much more convenient and took far less time. I can just see many of you keeling over at my stupidity and kampungness while reading this. Go ahead, i had it coming anyway.

Baby steps my dear, baby dear.

Actually i think i'm just an old soul when it comes to all this gadgets and gizmos. Some would say thats a nice way of putting being complacent. But i dont see whats wrong with what i'm doing now, so i dont see the need to change it. If it aint broke, dont fix it rite.

Or, it could also be because my dad always did my banking for me and my banking activities comprised simply of withdrawing money at the ATM or banking in a paycheque. Nah, i'm an old soul. I have a Sony Ericsson T630 but i'm yet to activate the MMS and yet to explore what else it can do besides make/receive calls, send sms, take photos and play nice ringtones. I till today, do not know how to work the new DVD player in my house. My car is just to take me from point A to point B (but i love it endlessly and have learnt to change the tyre,out of desperation). I never figured out the fax machine in my old office.

If it wasnt 1 am and if i didnt have to be up and about again in 7 hours, i'm sure i'd find more things to prove how jakun i can be.
