Calling Chicken

It was one of those days.

It began atypically after a lousy morning where we were late for the clients stipulated deadline for arrivals; fortunately, he seemed to have forgotten about the dateline given to us.

This was probably because, R & U, as you may recall from our various reports, frequently cancelled and delayed appointments.

Today was the first time they applied a (our) dedicated auction presentation software, FusionCore; so it wasn't really surprising the way R & U's boss was raving about our product to some VIPs.

He then asked us to give a short presentation of our presentation to the VIPs, presumably to impress them.

Chong Yang and I ended up having to adorn R & U uniforms for the duration of the event just for a rebranding exercise they were carrying out.

These guys seem pretty serious about it, splashing out good money they wouldn't cough up for FusionCore a few months ago to a promotional team, who videotaped the entire event.

These were expert cinematographers, lining shorts artistically with the precision of a seamstress sewing a flag.

The auction event began more than two hours after our arrival, therefore (technically), we weren't late.

The important point of the entire exercise was to show the important people how much R & U has progressed from its herbal remedy roots.

The most salient point though, was the auction event itself - two of the three auction houses were using FusionCore.

The third will probably be weeded out by the process of evolution.

After the event, we went out for a typical lunch at a fast food restaurant.

Nothing fancy - it was just a RM 500.00 budgeted lunch at KFC.
