Retarded

I created my first simple computer programme when I was in fourth grade. I learnt how to play the guitar in about a day when I was 8 years old. I wrote my first song when I was in fifth grade. I taught myself HTML when I was in sixth grade. I scored myself 14 points for O levels without studying.

Yes, other people have probably accomplished more than that in a shorter period of time, but may I remind you that I did it to my own accord, and practically learned everything myself. With the exception of lessons in secondary school, of course. What makes people think I'm not intellectual?

Is it because I enjoy watching shows like Jersey Shore or 90210? Or is it because I am never seen with a book, and if I am, it's with something like Princess Diaries? Is it because I usually only talk about the superficial stuff? Or I speak in Singlish? Or is it because I'm extremely lazy?

That doesn't make someone's intelligence.

I enjoy bimbotic things, because they're entertaining, and I like being entertained. I enjoy easy-to-read books, because they're relaxing, and I like being relaxed. Ahh. Why can't people understand that? Just because I am incredibly chilled out, doesn't  mean that I can't use my brain when I want to.

So annoying.

In other news, the best thing I heard from the FMSA event today:

"My son studied overseas, but he wants to continue studying in Singapore. Actually, no. He didn't pick Singapore. He picked your course in FMS."
