I want a brain like Daniel Tammet's!! If not Kim Peek's also can... lol. x)
Extraordinary.
And he even composes poems! o_O
Yesterday I went to Gullfoss
Appeared a rainbow there
I stepped on it by mistake
And climbed into the sky
Looking down I could see
The light-swept land
Wet moss and gleaming stones
Bathed in warm and rippling air
I saw my friends, like angels
Disappear into the shining spray
Wearing the waterfall
Close against their skin, against their hearts
Elsewhere I saw rivers, their floors coated
With travellers’ silvered hopes
Flung below like falling stars
Into the streaming darkness
In the distance I could see
Turrets of steam
Pulling at the horizon
And in the towns and cities
I watched people talking among themselves
Stitching their breath
With soft and coloured words
In a harbour “Sólfarið”,
A sunfaring man
With outstretched arms
Hugs time
Remembering the tide-washed dreams of men
Born and those still yet to be
*Daniel Tammet holds the European record for memorising and recounting Pi to 22,514 digits in just over five hours and speaks a variety of languages including English, French, Finnish, German, Spanish, Lithuanian, Romanian, Estonian, Icelandic, Welsh and Esperanto!! (fellow monsters: siao~)
**Whereras Kim Peek is probably the world's most famous savant, one who devours books on anything and everything, (as many as 8 in a day! even Huiqin cant do that..haha). He reads at a phenomenal rate, a page that may take others 3-5 mins will only take Kim about 10 sec! He reads the left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye and will retain about 98% of it. o____O He has 15 subject areas but about the only thing he can't do is, he can't reason out mathematical problems. Haha he should befriend Daniel... (which he did! lols.)
I simply love documentary shows. hahas. xD
Currently on Arts Central, the Mosaic Monday (9pm) has showcased incredible peeps like Budhia Singh and Daniel Tammet (coming up next: Ben Underwood--the boy who sees without eyes). It's a series of documentaries recording the lives of some truly amazing people who demonstrate abilities that we could hardly find possible.
Highly recommended!! x)

Hee.... It has been a month and I’m finally back...! xp
Previous weeks had been hectic + happening!! x)
Eh.... I shall blog in Chinese. Lol.
首先呢,我终于穿上了学校的blazer! Wee~~ SA 不止是校服漂亮,连blazer 也是pretty 的loh!! Eh....照片leh? 找不到了Haha. 等我找到了再放吧。;p
那天去先驱初院领奖时碰到了前去采访的良子跟摄影队的姿洁!平时都是我采访别人,现在反过来还真是有点…怪怪的。哈哈。之后又被Straits Times的记者采访,竟然还上了英文报… -_-lll 当天一大清早又在全校面前被邝老师“很隆重地介绍给大家” 。差点被自己的鸡皮疙瘩吞没。我可是很低调的ok~
后来跑到了义顺初院为今年的校园记者大赛主持。没稿、没经验、没口才、没暖场的天分。那我到底是在干什么东东去了huh?
Heehee…没经验就去累积经验,没口才就去锻炼口才嘛~脸皮要是能在厚一点说不定就可以在台上耍耍宝,too bad我脸皮就是不够厚!
不过终究是个很好玩的尝试跟经验啦,也很庆幸美娴姐 (958老板娘) 的评语是“不错,够稳。” 。哈哈是不是怕碎了我的玻璃心我就无从得知啦,只要没砸场就是万幸!耶。;p
通讯员博毅、忆隽跟芸观也有参加噢!
窃窃私语什么呢? 忘了。
家彪大哥以前是读义顺的wor。
