Hai guys, I believe I am somewhere out there on the adventure program right now as this scheduled post gets posted. I can't remember when I last did a nonsense post heh. Well heres one, I actually wrote this LAST YEAR, like, before my comp crashed and stuff. I think it was during exam period of something. Anyway, its was on my desktop notepad document forever, then transferred to my new comp and stayed there since then too. Well I finally got round to posting it =).
Before that though, KEEP PRAYING FOR PLC ITS THE LAST DAY KTHX!! =D
Enjoy.

So I was just thinking about random stuff, and suddenly I thought about me as a kid and recalled some awesome stuff about me =p. Yes I was an awesome kid, im damn proud of myself kay. So I decided to ask my mom for more information and see what she recalled about me, and that made me even more proud of my kid version wheehee. Below is a collection of my top five achievements in my younger days.
Ego mode is on by the way heh xD.
5) Aura of awesomeness
I had an aura of awesomeness since I was a kid. Other kids are astounded by my 1337 skiilz.
When my mom once went for a parent teacher meeting in primary three, a mother tapped her on her shoulder and asked her if she was my mom. At first, my mom wondered what trouble I had gotten into again, teacher complain not enough, now even parents want to complain. Haiyo, this guy ah.
But you know what she said?
'My son told me that whatever Matthew says its correct, no need to argue sure correct'
OSHIT I DAMN PRO.
I HAVE MINIONS SINCE I WAS IN PRIMARY THREE.
Seriously, I know you're jealous of me already. Look at you now, how old are you. Have you ever had REAL minions in your life?
WELL I DID HA.
Fear my aura.
4) Strong intellectual growth
I was damn smart when I was a kid. Something must have happened along the way =(. Maybe it was the time I did a giant leap from the main door to the sofa, bounced off it, hit my head again the table and bled. Oh dear bad memories. I still vaguely remember being in a daze, bleeding badly and my mom carrying me around in panic mode. She still remembers that too and till this day im not allowed to do that.
Anyway, I digress. My point is, I was damn smart. So smart that in KINDERGARTEN, my teacher told my parents to take me to take a MENSA TEST.
KINDERGARTEN.
NOT MY PARENTS WANT ITS MY TEACHER SAY I OUGHT TO GO.
I think I could have been a kid genius, attending university at 14 had proper measures been taken since I was young. Society hindered me man. And the table incident too.
=D
3) Rapid intellectual growth
NOT ONLY WAS I DAMN SMART, I BECAME DAMN SMART DAMN FAST.
Haha which of you noobs were still learning to speak when you were two years old. My brother is one of those noobs lololololol.
I bet you're not as pro as me, because I could SPELL VARIOUS COLOURS WHEN I WAS ONE AND A HALF.
Haha I bet you guys couldnt even distinguish the colours, or at least didnt know what they were called.
I COULD SPELL.
RED. BLUE. YELLOW. GREEN. BLACK. WHITE. AND MORE.
ONE AND A HALF YEARS OLD.
HA NOOBS.
Eh but seriously, ego mode aside, this is apparently really quite a feat. Been watching my cousins grow up and I kinda know around what age kids are able to do what, and this is really awesome =D.
THE KID ME DAMN IMBA.
2) Powerful intellectual growth
Yea I know, I know, im just saying over and over again I was damn smart when I was a kid. Lololololol.
I dont care man, im proud of myself, im one of those against the odds kids, didnt come from a rich family, dont particularly have geniuses as parents who could coach me in all my studies (my parents gave up on teaching me math and science when I entered nh lol).
Anyway, I called this powerful intellectual growth coz I think what I did was damn powerful.
Ok, lemme ask you a question. A math question.
What is 94 x 106?
Go do it now.
Done?
How long did you take?
Because when I was PRIMARY THREE, I solved this in FIVE SECONDS.
HA.
Wanna know how?
Its 100^2 - 6^2.
Yes, by the time I was primary three, I figured that you can get the product of two numbers by squaring the average and deducting the square of the difference between the average and lower limit.
Anyway, try it.
6 x 8 = 7^2 - 1^2 = 48
23 x 27 = 25^2 - 2^2 = 621
98757 x 98261 = 98509^2 - 248^2 = 9703961577
Only tried it for positive integers so far though, im not that bored and I dont do so complex stuff in primary two.
Wanna know the proof for this? Its actually damn simple haha.
(a + b) (a - b) = a^2 - b^2.
Of course, not many people realised you could apply this formula like this even in their secondary school days. And I didnt even know about this formula's existence in primary three. Heck I didn't know what algebra was in primary three except for it being the mysterious hated topic in archie comics.
But yes, whoohoo.
I also figured out in my primary school days that the consecutive odd numbers starting from one will give you consecutive square numbers.
See. Seriously, I used to lie down and in my head have these abstract stuff floating about, thats how I derived most of these stuff. One of my random day dreaming sessions, just lying on my bed thinking about life. Somehow though, my thoughts about life in primary three consisted of math. Why is that so I do not know. I think it was during an era that I thought math was interesting. Foolish me.
Sadly, I havnt been deriving things for a long time. Not since they put alphabets into math probably. It got worse when I entered IB and now they have greek alphabets too sheesh.
Now if only I could pwn math like I used to last time.
1) AWESOME
FINALLY, IM DAMN PROUD OF THIS.
I CANT THINK OF ANY BETTER WORD FOR A TITLE THAN THE WORD 'AWESOME'.
And it i has nothing to do with me being a smartass kid. The greatest achievements in life are not about being smart.
The day was 31st decemember 1996.
Oh gosh, I think I still have some fragment of memory of what happened, I kinda 'remember' it.
Oh side track, there are two instances from my super young days (pre nursery) that I seem to have memory of. One is this, the other one was me sitting on a gray sofa in my old house while my dad took a picture. So cool right.
ANYWAY.
The day was 31st decemember 1996.
I was going to go to sleep. Took my pacifier, stuck it in my mouth as routine every night and climbed onto my mattress.
Here, my mom jokingly commented 'eh boy tmr one new year already, still sucking your pacifier, going to go nursery already leh'.
Well she said it in chinese but yar.
At this moment, I just STOOD UP, took the pacifier out of my mouth, THREW IT IN THE BIN, walked back to my mattress and went to sleep.
I never used a pacifier again after that day.
I AM DAMN AWESOME OH MY GOODNESS.
I AM DAMN PROUD OF THE KID ME.
HAHA.
My mom tells me she was so stunned by that, and she was so amazed that I really never touched that thing again. She tells me the story over and over again as I grow up and I keep telling her that yes I know I remember. Eh, maybe thats why I remember, it was reinforced in me haha.
THIS KID IS A REAL MAN.
Now people, share your epic kid stories =D. Im sure you have some too, just not as awesome as mine ^^.
P.S. My math noobness might be genetic. My dad scored 3/100 for his math exam in secondary two HAHA.
