The day The hippopotamus starts to fly....

One fine day, delightfully ended my Monday's day job, off me goes to my usual night class. Early I was, reaching the class at KL Plaza, half hour earlier than the commencement time. Hmmmm… I wasn’t the earliest but other 2 class-mates were there already. One was about to have her lovely and motherly prepared lunch box, the other pseudo M, reading his favourite anime books.

Clak, clak! The lunch box was unlocked, an aromatic smell oozed. I still had have not taken my dinner, the stomach started to make noise. To cease further excretion of gastric juice, I walked all the way towards the door and open it, to permit ventilation.

Clock struck at 5 minutes before class commencement, more students arrived and sat at their respective seats. However, our fellow Korean class just opposite of ours, started earlier with a Korean music being played. Due to corridor was designed narrowly, the music can be heard slightly clearer on which caused a bit of annoyance.

Deng, deng, deng....teng.....

M, raised from his chair, went to knock the door requesting for toning down the volume:

M: "Can you please lower down the volume, it’s VERY NOISY!" with his usual grumpy voice.

Korean teacher: “You….close the door….then will silence!” spoke in strong Korean accent furiously not amounting to engage into a conflict. Most probably dislike the way of request being done.

Out of blue, I don’t know why and don’t ask me why,

M interrupted: “日本語で　話して　下さい！ [Please speak in Japanese!]” was thrown to the Korean teacher.

We were all astonished and stunt with inquisitively look at him! "Ahhhhh" was the only word escaped softly from our mouth with hands grasping our hairs.

What had happened, you may asked curiously? M requested to tone down the volume in English language and the Korean teacher replied in English, out of sudden M quaintly demanded the teacher to speak in Japanese??!! Insultation, wasn't it? Hahhhh!.....another "superlative" things done by M! The teacher turn a blind eye to him and continued her teachings. Now, with our classroom door shut, indeed, the volume reduced significantly!

I wonder what will happen, if the fury was to continue with the teacher countered in Korean language? WW III eruption, dooms' day, armageddon? Ok! Preston, desist your imagination, a bad guy you are, see what had you done again! Why busied yourselves opening that damn door :)?

What kind of person M is, you can read back on my very first blog written with a title “Awaken from slumber not SCHLUMBERGER!”.

On second taught, it was funny :) and despondent :( combined if you were familiar with him, thus, I laughed….hahahahah and sad *sob**sob*.

Awaken from slumber not Schlumberger!

7:17a.m, 29-Jan 08, Kuala Lumpur, Home.

Yesterday (28-Jan 08) was the number of "x" times I had been attending the class. The number of students from different walks of life who are aware of the importance of the languages of which I do believe to be the next necessity after the advent of Information Technology (IT) and the Investment era is absolutely amazing, so to speak.

Forget about the necessity, it was this my classmate, pseudo 'M' (alphabet being picked in conjunction with Quantum of Solace roll out, the reprisal role of 007's boss - The 'M' :-) who caught my attention, de facto all the students of that particular class.

M is a very young, talented and energetic student. M scored 100% in his previous exam where the others struggle to get ......ahem.... a reasonable survivance scores :p! M will leave no stones unturn be it on exercise or worksheets. A perfectionist, M is, till yesterday.....

As usual, while awaiting for the class to commence, the previous worksheet/homework is returned to the respective students. M shouted and uttered, "HUH WRONG........! WRONG......, WHY!" unstoppably stomping his legs followed by pitiful, sorrowy cries "I HAD DOUBLED CHECKED THIS, AGAIN AND AGAIN BUT WHY WRONG *sob**sob*....muahhhhh *sob* muahhh!". Eventually, M stormed out from the classroom to shy away from the rest of M's classmates in order to shield M's emotionally distress stance. The mistake that M had done on his homework is very minimal and iota if compares to us, indeed but such sudden depression scares us out of our wits followed by a pang of pitifulness.

This is not the first time, occasionally, while the lecturer is teaching, M utters few words loudly and intermittently.

Curious I am. The next day before the class commenced, I bravely volunteered myself to offer a non-hostile conversation with him. Slowly, I dug deeper and deeper where I used the ditto method of deciphering the actual clients' concern in my Sales arena. M admitted, that M sometimes will unconsciously experiences roller coaster emotional depression a.k.a "Bipolar Disorder" in psychological vocab. In short, for those who are inflicted, his/her emotion swings drastically from cheerfulness to extreme sadness, thus depression and the opposite.

I, in certain extend have similarities with M. While having a simple conversation with a person, unconsciously I feel hostility (sudden swings of emotion) even though the hostility doesn't exist, unequivocally, I struck back. Though not achieving the state of depression but yet alarming.

I rooted back the day I was born, the environment and the the ambiance of childhood and parental advisory of why this is happening to myself, all in all does matter in shaping an individual mentality. Ditto to M.

Hence, I would confidently say, psychological needs, helps, guidelines, seminars, educations and etc are the next necessity or I should say a prerequisite of life besides other necessity as in Hardworking, fluency in English speaking, savvy in Information Technology, Investment gung-ho and lastly additional fluency in other languages, in assurance of understanding human's behavior, programmed and nurtured them well before releasing them to the beauty, cruelty and a realistic society. Physical disorder can be helped or automated. For instance, a poor eye vision can be easily repaired by wearing a spectacle, paralyze can be automated by a wheel chair. Meanwhile, for those who are already affected like M (mental challenges), counseling is urgently needed for repairment.

How many available psychologist out there where their expertise are direly needed in Malaysia easily reachable? Thus, M's sudden escaped emotional imbalances awakes me from my SLUMBER and the importance of the newly discovered necessity to be part of our skill collections. "Not the oil rigs, Schlumberger but SLUMBER duh!", I lamented to an oil & gas employee :0).
