Psychic

Foreword: This is written by a Depressive Schizophrenic who is testing its psychic powers…..

He heads into D’Building (which is in no way related to DiGi’s D’House at Subang Hi-Tech Industrial Park) to his exclusive retreat. As usual, as one of those rare breed of Malaysians who adopt the M-Time culture in a P-time based society, he is 2 hours early.

He looks at his watch, it’s 6:45. “Time to go,” he says. He gets off his "iconic Herman Miller design classic- the aesthetically pleasing and highly ergonomic Aeron CEO chair", gathers his stuff and heads out off the door. Up the stairs he goes because the lifts have been out of order since time immemorial, to his assigned workplace, full of determination, enthusiasm and persistence to share his wisdom and knowledge with those under his tutorage. He wonders if he would be the first, like always.

He walks through the quiet hallway. From afar, he sees the room door close. “Great, I’m first,” he says to himself.
He reaches his designated workplace, opens the door, and right before his very own eyes, he sees 2 mortals sitting resolute at their respective places, oblivious to their surroundings. 1 is staring at the notebook while the other one seem to be configuring a profound mathematical equation.
He blinks his eyes to make sure that he is not dreaming. For the first time ever, 2 mortals are already present when there is still 15 minutes to 7:05. “Have the pigs gone scuba diving for pearls in the sea??”, he wonders.
Nope, the pigs have not gone scuba diving for pearls in the sea. They are still waiting to move into the Selangor PKR-lead state government’s proposed RM100million centralized pig farm in Ladang Tumbuk. PKR’s Tian Chua and Penang’s DCM II, Prof. Dr P. Ramasamy, were among the 29 MPs who had "forgotten” to submit their parliamentary questions on time for the inaugural meeting for the 12th Dewan Rakyat Question Time, thus not fulfilling their elected responsibilities to question the Frontbenchers. Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi is still the Prime Minister of Malaysia, though Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has expressed his confidence in becoming PM within 3 years.
It’s just that these poor souls have been plagued by the curse of assignments. That is why they are extremely early, in hope of catching up on their MR assignment 2 before it goes down the rafters……..Unfortunately, the WiFi in D'Building is SO SLOW that these mortals could not even access their Study Desk.- and I thought D'Building's WiFi is from foyer to roof top and everywhere within. Heck, we could not even go online in the reading room and on the third floor.

-END OF STORY-

May your desire to see the gist of Consumer Behaviour permeate into the heads of those under your tutorage (especially the author of this story!!!) be realized……..
I am NOT a psychic……..

Discipline, dedication, hard work and attentiveness are what I need….

*Assignment and Quizzes are calling*

Take care, pals
