Intro
Zeng.
Loves Singapore and Gippsland, Vic, Australia.
Am experiencing the four seasons of the year for this first time in my life.
Got the chance to wear winter clothes for the first time too...
Got the chance to switch on the heater in the day and at night to keep warm...
Got the chance to get extremely dry skin and understand that we can never get the best of both worlds...
Got to see places where there's more cows than people, more trees than buildings, more love than scams...
Sometimes misses hot and humid and unpredictably rainy weather...
Constantly misses the love for me from the little red dot...
PROFILE
Learning in an instituition called university...
To be precise, the place is called Monash University
To be more exact, it's called Monash University, Gippsland campus
To be very clear, I'm studying in Monash University, Gippsland campus, undertaking BA (Psych and Humans)
To paint the most descriptive picture, my main interest is in education.
But I'm learning about psychology, sociology (mostly under Aussie context) and History-politcs for now.
Social justice issues, politics, education, environmental issues, social realities and things like that intrigues me...
For additional information, I'm not doing that well most of the time.
But don't you dare judge!
There's ups and downs and you never know how high up I can get...
I don't know too but we'll find out...
It's a constant struggle but,
It's never too old to learn.
Never too poor to school.
Never too stupid to think.

Kim Peek... 7:29 PM
Have you heard of Kim Peek?
He's a savant. Have you heard of a savant?
Savant -
From the French, meaning knowledgeable. The term is used of persons who display special, indeed occasionally extraordinary, mental capabilities, such as individuals who have had no formal musical training but are able to play on the piano any piece heard but once, or those who display a computer-like capacity to perform arithmetic calculations or are able to calculate the day of the week on which any given date in the future will fall. Such persons were once called idiot savants because they often have rather limited overall social and/or mental capabilities; fortunately, this term is fallin out of use. (Reber and Reber, 2001) (Dictionary of Psychology)
"You don't have to be handicap to be different. Everyone's different." ~Kim Peek
Love yourself. Work on your strengths. Be modest.
Luv,
Me
