Yes, Mr Aw is in liaoz. =P

Thanx Yuqing for the administrative part. So what's the first post from me about? How about telling u guys ur average score for the Math Common Test is 14.6/20? Hahaha~ tomorrow we'll go through the test paper. =)

Anyway, how can we do the survey thing here ah? Name for 1E1s' boys and girls... orh-nee? duh... Seriously, anyone here can do the survey thingy over here?

Before I go off, let me share with you my story. Not really a story as its real! It's during my university days in Sheares Hall NUS.

=== Story ===

He was there. Playing singles at the badminton court. The time is 4pm. I walked off.
He was there. Playing doubles at the badminton court. The time is 6pm. I walked away.
He was still there. Playing his beloved sport at the same court. Practically all the time. I start to think.

This boy is gonna so fail his tests and exams. I remember his face. He is decent looking, not as handsome as a certain emmm AKYA. But well, his sharp nose and infectious smile might have gotten him labelled as handsome by some. Hehehe~

I told my friend Vincent about this guy. "Vince, this guy is really wasting his time away! Not studying at all! How is he going to pass his exams?"

Vincent replied, "Alan, that guy you mentioned, is the top scholar from the Science Faculty."

I nearly puked my wanton mee when I heard this. The guy who spent the whole day playing and not studying? How is that possible? Is he a genius? O.o"

The next day, he was there again. Playing the same old badminton at the same old court. Not one to ignore my curiousity, I walked up to him and start to bombard him with my queries. "How come you can do well for exam without studying?!", I asked.

"Alan, the time you saw me playing, was the time I HAD ALREADY done my revision for the day." He replied. He further explainefd that each day, he would, without fail, study for 4 hours at home. Every single day. Weekend included.

I said, "That's the secret? Not that you are a genius to begin with?"

He replied YEAH... thats the secret! Just having to study 4 hours at home. He humbly said that he is not a genius but feels that its through his consistent hardwork (4 hours a day) that he is able to really do well and fulfill his potential academically. Genius? Hardly. Hardworking student who always can't solve the problem at the first try but keep trying and trying, asking friends and teachers for help if need be till he is able to solve every single problem? Definitely.

=== End ===

So that's the end of the so called story. The secret has been revealed. Are you a genius? Maybe, maybe not. But till then, let's start with the 4 hours revision. OUSH~!!! =P
