hmmm.. was inspired by ju-zi's and emu's posts on apples and apple pickers.. so i thought i would just talk a little bit about my personal take on e apple theory.. not really going to talk abt apples per se or wat desirable qualities they should have.. but rather i'm gonna talk abt e apple pickers and e process of apple picking..

anyway, my personal take on e apple theory starts off with e apples and apple pickers growing up alongside each other in this enormously vast apple tree farm.. it is often not understood by e young apple picker tt apples r meant to be picked and consumed.. and majority of e time e young apple pickers would develop close relations with e apples tt they grew up alongside with.. so when it came to e time tt e young apple picker finally understood e apple theory, he would look beyond his part of e apple farm for tt 1 elusive apple with all e desirable attributes, as he would have known tt it isn't really rite to pick those apples which grew up together with him..

i know of this apple picker A who came across this apple picker B who was interested in this apple found in e area where apple picker A grew up in.. nothing wrong there.. just tt e apple wasn't exactly wat 1 would say is ripe for e picking.. which was y apple picker A wasn't really happy that apple picker B was picking on this immature apple growing in his area.. it also turned out tt apple picker B was one who liked playing around with his food (in this case e apple) before picking it.. tt made apple picker A quite pissed, because prior to this incident, he, just like e other apple pickers, thought tt apple picker B was a gentleman..

there is also this apple picker C and apple picker D tt i want to talk about.. both apple pickers were acquaintances.. one day, during a walk in the apple farm, apple picker C chanced upon this apple which he was really interested in.. he was about to set off to gather his equipment for e apple picking when apple picker D came along.. he casually asked apple picker C which apple he was interested in, to which apple picker C pointed towards e abovementioned apple.. e conversation goes on with apple picker D telling apple picker C tt he was interested in this apple on another tree somewhere else in e farm..

so off went apple picker C to get his equipment.. but alas! when he returned to pick his apple, he discovered tt apple picker D had already picked e apple for which apple picker C had set his eyes on.. apple picker C was very angry at apple picker D for such ungentlemanly and rather lowly behavior.. in a similar fashion to apple picker B, apple picker D was seen as a good guy in e eyes of other apple pickers..

having said so much about e stories on 4 different apple pickers, u might have noticed tt there is some kind of a information asymmetry in both scenarios.. apple pickers B and D were seen in a favorable light in e eyes of other apple pickers, but this certainly didn't apply to apple pickers A and C.. so should apple pickers A and C disclose e information they have about apple pickers B and D? would e other apple pickers believe e story?

NNB songluck!!! Are you trying to hint something? This freaking apple story is damn analogous to u-noe-what situation and u-noe-who lah....
