Tired feet. Funny Mum. Smartass me.


Just back from Mel's sister's birthday partay at pasir ris park. We walked back okay, the lot of us. Edwin, Taariq Karen and I. At 1am, we took the tampines park connector and trekked home. My legs were killing me and my ankles were giving way, but lucky mum came to my rescue just after we got past dunman and bought a big gulp to quench our parched tongues. And I was whisked home in no time.

The partay was enjoyable, but more 'bout that some other day when I've the pics ah. Lots of food, lots of photos and the usual blah.

Mum was so funny! She was basically whining to me as we pulled into the parking lot 'bout being reluctant initially to come and pick me up because she was wearing socks. And she thought it'd be super embaressing if any neighbour caught her wearing those socks (with her flip-flops) at the lift lobby... She was like telling me she'd never be caught dead in those socks but she still had to put them on 'cos she had applied some medication on her feet. So I told her that she could just try and hide her feet if any neighbour appeared and like gawked at her fashion faux pas. And then she'd have to find a solution - which is to start blabbering convincingly in japanese and persuade them that she's really a japanese lady.

A passing thought: Why do japanese find wearing their socks with their slippers so cool? Cleanliness or just pure habitual?

And I just did this quiz thing that I got in the mail. Its some Brainteaser Test which is able to like tell you how smart you are after you've successfully completed the questionnaire.

Here are my results.

Andre, you answered 20 out of 30 questions correctly!
Congrats! Your score is in the 87th percentile. This means that if 100 people took the test with you, your score would rank higher than 86 of them on average.
When we analyzed your test, we also discovered that when it comes to visual-spatial ability, you measure in the 70th percentile. This score indicates you have unusually strong ablilites when it comes to spotting patterns in the world around you. You're easily able to envision things spatially in different positions, and this allows you to determine what spatial patterns are present . Compared with you, most others lack the creative ability and/or skill to imagine the movementof objects or patterns in time and space.

I don't know whether I should trust their accuracy, but the whole lot did imply that I'm a rather visual person. And yes, its right, I'm a visual learner. So maybe this thing has its truth after all? Well I guess so.

I can send it to you if you want to, just come ask me, and then we shall see if you're smarter than me! 86th percentile okay!
