It all started with Tru and Pho asking me," So, Po Chin and you, who's smarter?" Hmm...what a tough question...to be diplomatic and modest, I said that Po Chin is smarter. Hehe. But really, I've always thought of Po Chin has the smarter one out of the two of us. I mean, I am better than her in many ways too, but I think she is the Brain, while I'm the Pinkie. When I asked Po Chin about it, she said that I am smarter in a different way. In a more scientific way. Hmm...like what's that supposed to mean?

So I can grasp scientific concepts better than her? I know that theories to do with physics have always bewildered quite a few of my friends. But the fact that I'm able to understand them better does not necessarily make me smarter than them. In the first place, is intelligence a mere matter of IQ? The IQ tests that I have taken may indicate that I have a relatively high IQ, but I don't think I actually show it.

This makes me look bad, but get ready for this......I don't read a lot. Newspapers every morning is already more than I can take. I don't think either. I know of quite a few people who ponder about the meaning of life, the essence of society blah blah blah all the time. When we do get about to talk about it, which is not often, I guess I can always cook up some little comment to call my own, but they're just crap. Most of the time, I'm really quite contented with listening to the other people's theories.

In other words, while I might have the brain cells for it, I do not fully tap the intelligence potential I have. Assuming that I do have some potential to start with. And I do not want to be a "scientifically intelligent" person. I have met people who impress me so much, "intelligent" is one of the adjectives I use to describe them. Do the people around me think of me as such?

Apparently, no. There was a night when Tru, Pho and I were talking and at the end of which, Pho said something like,"Hey, you're smarter than I thought." Oh wow, thanks a lot...hahahaha...Now my personal mission is to become smarter. Humph.
