Some people just have a natural propensity for understanding and applying concepts - also helps to have a naturally good memory and daily study habits. I know a guy from secondary school who topped every science subject simply because he was attaining near perfect scores, and multiple people in junior college capable of scoring straight As for A levels at the end of J1
bro is the asian cousin everyone’s parents compare to
i was in the audience and i must say everyone was beyond shocked
this guy broke last year’s record of 6/7
also i’m quite sure it’s 11 awards 💀💀💀
I know him somewhat (next class) and he's genuinely a very normal guy. If you didn't know him he'd rub you as a bit arrogant but I mean he has the skills to back it up
either high flyer, get good education, top position in company/start own company
or iq too high think too much and become depressed and do normal job, cannot function well in life
some smart people end up doing stupid things and jeopardise their future
I would disagree and yet also agree. There is NO boundary drawn, and any such line drawn is arbitrary and man made.
No one thinks Middle Easterners are Asians. Just saying
Oh this was like some guy in my sec sch. He got top in
Bio(actually 2nd but 1st guy marks not counted cause VR), phy, HCL, Geog, HSS.
1st in standard
Best part is my friend said he was from sg but hcl somehow so good. Tho his psle was much better than the sch cop. Also the same person got 1st in standard for 4 years in a row
Dk how these people do this also lol
10 is on a whole other level
Congratulations to him for winning these awards in our society’s definition of merit.
Don’t forget that there’s other ways of defining and measuring merit too.
Do what you do best, and don’t give up on it.
honestly, academic achievements by themselves aren't even that shocking anymore in comparison to the genuine super smurfs out there with IPhO/IMO/IOI/IChO/IBO medals + ISEF/STS + WSDCs team + RSI/PRIMES
just any one of those achievements in isolation takes more effort than the average 90rp mugger and it's pretty insane to see the level of effort put in by the 0.1% relative to the 10%
(not downplaying this guy's achievements or anything - there's a good chance they become a super smurf too once they enter jc)
this is honestly the scary part lol, I'm friends with some gigasmurfs and they have HOBBIES, a SOCIAL LIFE, a RELATIONSHIP, and time to commit to ccas and whatnot
meanwhile i'm here wasting my life reading derrida lmaoooooooo
As an intl olym medallist, I gotta say it’s different skill sets tho, I cld nvr get 90rp no matter how hard I tried. I just happen to be very passionate about one subject and excelled in that, my other subjects suck. But ofc there are ppl who excel in both sch acads and olympiads / other things
i’m jealous of ppl like that tbh, i can do decently in my school subjects but cld also nvr get 90rp no matter how much i tried (pw b), but i have no passion for anything and don’t stand out that much, and idk what to do in uni and after uni because everything seems too boring or difficult for me
omg tch huge fan
edit: with removal of H1/PW from grading system, you'll just need to study abit on GP to get perfect rp now right, given PFM is basically one subject
the learning styles for higher chinese in china and singapore are really different, so you could be goated in chinese in china but at the end of the day the marks for the exams esp for the 2 compres usually rely on the answering techniques which is different
Funny enough, he didn't even get 4.0gpa for higher Chinese because only 1 person got 4.0 on the entire level. I believe they take the top 1-2 students for each subject.
So, when do we all think he'll crash?
One does not simply maintain perfect performance. Either he's under a ton of pressure (1) or held up by some kind of philosophy (2). Because-
1. When the pressure is gone, you marvel at the newfound freedom and will focus on everything else you've missed out on
a. Forever be obsessed and controlled by the childhood trauma of the pressure until your psyche can't handle it anymore and, in the best case scenario, you get a nervous breakdown
2. The best philosophies are either vague or misleading. Either you lose your will to live after losing direction, or-
a. You realise the flaw in the philosophy you've based your entire life on, up to that point. Either way, nervous breakdown (in the best case scenario)
I know him somewhat IRL and I doubt its either of the two you mentioned
He studies a lot harder than the avg student but it's nothing absurd or unimaginable, it's just that he's able to convert the hours spent studying efficiently to results.
It's not like he's overly ambitious or insanely self-driven, I think. he's genuinely quite a normal guy that has an affinity for academics
Why must there a downfall for every brilliance bruh? He might just a be a smart dude, and judging from the comments from people who know him, he is just a normal dude who studies relatively hard and is very good at that. Not everything is fair in this world, and not every smart person will crash and burn one day.
Employee need to answer to one person.
Boss need to answer to:
Customers
Vendors
Investors
Employee satisfaction
Regulations
Industry practices
Social contracts between the firm and various stakeholders
I know bro I'm quite close with him and I wouldn't call him arrogant at all, just that some of his traits cam definitely be interpreted as arrogance by others
Sinkie must pwn sinkie. I mean I’m kinda salty too cuz he seems have a natural talent for academics and social life skills and time management to do all this and still lead a normal life. I’m out here struggling to pass my exams so kinda makes me feel like shit. How does one feel valued when there’s ppl like him? There’s literally nothing you can offer when compared to perfection

that looks like raffles too 💀💀💀 being top of the top is a whole nother league
He IS from raffles, school went crazy during prize giving ceremony (also this guys got 7 awards last year)
yea he is, i rmbr he got 4 whole slides for his awards 💀
haha when the projector screen needs to be lowered done momentarily just to accommodate all the awards for that one guy
What's the name?
Bro IS the final boss💀
Bro is Einstein isekaied
bro is the asian cousin everyone’s parents compare to i was in the audience and i must say everyone was beyond shocked this guy broke last year’s record of 6/7 also i’m quite sure it’s 11 awards 💀💀💀
Curious how he is like personally
I know him somewhat (next class) and he's genuinely a very normal guy. If you didn't know him he'd rub you as a bit arrogant but I mean he has the skills to back it up
Last year record was 10/11 i think. So he just tied
Maybe he got 11/10. He got so many they created an award for him for getting all the awards.
Honesty I'm curious about where such a high achiever will go and especially what he becomes after his education.
PSC scholarship to Ivies/Oxbridge then either come back and become a high flyer in Govt or break bond and make millions in IB or tech
do mba then end up with a very high level director role in an MNC
either high flyer, get good education, top position in company/start own company or iq too high think too much and become depressed and do normal job, cannot function well in life some smart people end up doing stupid things and jeopardise their future
Future government minister
It’s actually 11 prizes you missed out his top in form prize.

Yeah I think you should delete this comment first…
those calling out this guy having no social skills/ nerd is crazy. im friends with him and i can confirm hes chill 🗣️🔥
Is he tall, rich and handsome too?
Is he like Asian Jesus or smth
Jesus is from the middle east, so Jesus is Asian
Fock off Middle East isn’t Asia. Arabs aren’t Asians. 😂
So which continent is the middle east in?
That’s not my point. Jesus isn’t Asian. Generally Arabs and Jews aren’t considered Asians.
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/asian Take it up with the dictionaries
Doesn’t say anything about ME?
Did you not agree that the middle east is part of Asia?
I would disagree and yet also agree. There is NO boundary drawn, and any such line drawn is arbitrary and man made. No one thinks Middle Easterners are Asians. Just saying
Asian Buddha, because Jesus sure as hell isn’t a real prince or King, but the BUDDHA actually is from royalty.
Curious how is he like personally
what’s his CCA!
one of the nerdy ones lol; but he does in fact have a social life
he is a debater, recently won 2nd best speaker in some national debate meet comp as well
can confirm 🗣️🔥
guys he received a standing ovation too 🙏🙏could never compete (I'm dropping out after this)
Really spoil market this kind
Academicmaxxing
Thank you for ruining my day (I'll never achieve anything that great)

He doesn’t even mug he literally plays games and does stuff like a normal person would do 😭
this is honestly the scary part lol, I'm friends with some gigasmurfs and they have HOBBIES, a SOCIAL LIFE, a RELATIONSHIP, and time to commit to ccas and whatnot meanwhile i'm here wasting my life reading derrida lmaoooooooo
I think ur just bad. Like get better or just give up atp u know
so true!
Wow some kids are really just born this way
trust this man is gna go for icho and ipho hes lotrrally only y4 get off his back
And some say he may also go for IBO, IOI and IYPT???
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ye definitely
As an intl olym medallist, I gotta say it’s different skill sets tho, I cld nvr get 90rp no matter how hard I tried. I just happen to be very passionate about one subject and excelled in that, my other subjects suck. But ofc there are ppl who excel in both sch acads and olympiads / other things
U r my goat. Pls give me your autograph 🐐🐐🐐
i’m jealous of ppl like that tbh, i can do decently in my school subjects but cld also nvr get 90rp no matter how much i tried (pw b), but i have no passion for anything and don’t stand out that much, and idk what to do in uni and after uni because everything seems too boring or difficult for me
tch! you're an inspiration 🥰
omg tch huge fan edit: with removal of H1/PW from grading system, you'll just need to study abit on GP to get perfect rp now right, given PFM is basically one subject
“Study abit on GP” easier said than done HAHAHA not me getting D
Prodigies and also by working hard obviously
I heard he doesn’t study much and leads a very normal life
What the hell, I'm here studying my ass off to get Bs at most, well people are just born with that knowledge I guess
he studies very hard just not to an abnormal amount
Nah he doesn’t really study till near exams. He’s quite normal
I don't think what u consider normal is the same as me lol
Like he has a social life. Ofc his achievements are not normal but like u won’t be able to tell he’s this good just by talking to him
to get top in higher chinese, this person must be an overseas scholar
I believe he is local
it is unprecedented for a local to be the best in higher chinese
I'm know him. He is local lmao.
the learning styles for higher chinese in china and singapore are really different, so you could be goated in chinese in china but at the end of the day the marks for the exams esp for the 2 compres usually rely on the answering techniques which is different
Funny enough, he didn't even get 4.0gpa for higher Chinese because only 1 person got 4.0 on the entire level. I believe they take the top 1-2 students for each subject.
How many local has bro ever met to make this conclusion. Bro has definitely never known the difference between Chinese Chinese and Singapore Chinese.
nope
They usually do go to Harvard tho
Honestly, good for him. I wish I had his talents. Either that or he worked his ass off
Wait im just curious if acads isn't a challenge for these ppl, then what challenges does these ppl face in their lives
Social stigma, maybe
I better not let my parents find out about this😓
An Asian parents’ dream kids:
I was there for prize giving and bro took up 4 whole slides
COOL!
honestly big kudos to this guy , being the top in the top school is just an insanely amazing feat!
Yoo I know this guy he really is super smart and this is RI
Thats very impressive, being at a top institution and topping probably every course he took...
Don’t show your parents any stuff about this guy and you good

10 years later he will be working for someone who failed his exams and started his own business
I wonder how these people interact with average people who are just getting by with their studies lol
[удалено]
dont talk shit about my goat please 🙏🙏
Sit yo ass down till u can compare to my goat. Ain’t no one better than him 🤫🤫🤫
you clearly don't own a hullett award
Never ever slander my goat again you ain’t know shit about him
Unpopular fact: These smart kids are going to be employees eventually Edit: just like all of us average people
As opposed to being jobless? Ain’t everyone an employee
As opposed to being da boss lah
Employee need to answer to one person. Boss need to answer to: Customers Vendors Investors Employee satisfaction Regulations Industry practices Social contracts between the firm and various stakeholders
No one is truly the boss, everyone has someone to answer to, eg CEO to board of directors
Yeah no shit cuz that’s how most of the ppl live their life as💀not everyone wants to start up their own companies or do something else
Whata his name?
John tan xiao Ming
一个风和日丽的早上，小明得了很多很多奖。老师们都like他

this is raffles bruh
Yup I agree Raffles is a really bad school. Naval base secondary school is better.
[удалено]
I know him IRL, he’s a very nice person
Damn that’s rare. Usually I see all the top people(sometimes “just”top few) all arrogant one. At least got some here is nice one
he's very nice but I wouldn't say he isn't "arrogant" depending on how u define that word
He isn’t arrogant if u truly get to know him. He may seem abit arrogant but that’s just cos of how his friends and him interact la
I know bro I'm quite close with him and I wouldn't call him arrogant at all, just that some of his traits cam definitely be interpreted as arrogance by others
Brother I’m supporting ur point.
[удалено]
!?
I see
sounds like pure cope lmao. there are ppl who are capable of having a social life and being good academically
Why you hating man - bro didn’t do anything to you
Sinkie must pwn sinkie. I mean I’m kinda salty too cuz he seems have a natural talent for academics and social life skills and time management to do all this and still lead a normal life. I’m out here struggling to pass my exams so kinda makes me feel like shit. How does one feel valued when there’s ppl like him? There’s literally nothing you can offer when compared to perfection
Could have said the same thing about you harassing a girl today on r/aww
yah lor! say people but he himself bully
not hating, just telling the truth
the salt is crazy
see other ppl academically successful and u cannot cope until have to insult their person ah? look into a mirror before you talk next time please
[удалено]
and you know him better than everyone here who's personal friends with him right.
