striving.

okay. tan zhi han. *slaps!* wake up! *slaps!*

my parents showed me a thesis written by their colleagues' son. (fyi, that guy is currently studying in Harvard, USA) i read his thesis and suddenly, i feel so inadequate and infinitely tiny! he was voted Best Debater in an inter-school debate championship; received a distinction in ICAS English awarded by Cambridge International at the age of 16; completed Grade 8 in piano with a distinction, plays the guitar; is a one Dan black-belt holder in taekwando; tennis player in secondary; and the freakiest thing of all was that he represented the country to go for an APEC Physics Convention a few years back and met physicist from around the world!!! see the GENIUS? and can you see the fool in me?

i was in awe when i continued reading. in his thesis, he inserted a report on calculus, done when he is in form 4. and as a form 5 student, i dont understand what the heck is he writing. this is definitely a jaw-dropping thesis. but the weirdest thing is that my parents say that they dont want me to be that good. they just want me to be successful in the future. now that's good news. =) thanks dad, thanks mum. i wont let you down. =)

the next PPD test is in 2 days. i will try my best! =]
