Watch this space...

The other day I experienced the weirdest thing, I was in the bathroom busy brushing my teeth and you know when you can see something from the corner of your eye, well I saw my mothers’ room door opening…but the thing that confused me was that the bathroom door was closed.

Standing there in this state of confusion, I slowly opened the bathroom door while thinking to myself, when I entered the bathroom my mothers’ door was closed and if this door is now is open OMG and to my dismay the door was indeed open. Freaky I know, the time between seeing the door opening and me actually opening the bathroom door was merely a split second. It was definitely not a coincidence.

I started pondering, is it maybe possible I have a super power. I can see through walls. Is it so far fetched? Imagine how much fun it would be to see through walls though. I’ll be all-knowing. I’d pledge to only use my super powers for the good of this earth though and ill try and wear my underwear underneath my pants.

So watch this space for further developments on the curious case of Ridhwaana Baradien.

This is based on a true life happening.

I would hire those who are hardworking

I would share my knowledge

I would demand that someone buy me lunch

I would have a bed in my office, for those times that I need a nap

I would never raise my voice

I would give myself a pay raise

I would only communicate via facebook
