Hong Kong Math Whiz Gets 'World's Highest Grade'

AFP News – Sat, Feb 26, 2011 6:38 AM PHT

(AFP) - A 16-year-old Hong Kong student notched up the highest grade in an international math test, his school said Friday, despite barely studying for an exam he claimed "wasn't very difficult."

Anthony Leung took the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) exams last June, when he was 15, and learned this week that he topped thousands of other students.

"It was quite a shock. I was very surprised and certainly happy," Leung told local paper The South China Morning Post. "My parents were happy, a little surprised -- but, like me, they don't quite believe it."

A school spokeswoman said Leung received a certificate from Britain's prestigious Cambridge University saying he had the world's highest grade.

The test, designed for 14- to 16-year-olds and given at schools that teach an international curriculum, was divided into three sections, including one exam that had to be completed without a calculator, the report said. It covered statistics, trigonometry and geometry, among other topics.

"It wasn't very difficult but certainly challenging," Leung said. "But since that wasn't the only exam I was sitting, I didn't study much."

Sueño de Espadrilles: Toy Story version

I really wanted to own an espadrilles since last year. Luckily, there was a sale last month at Sueño de Espadrilles store in Podium . I bought two pairs; one maroon and the other pair is white. I decided to buy a white pair and have it designed. I chose the main characters of Toy Story: Woody and Buzz Lightyear. I waited for a month so I can wear it and I was so happy with the final design of it. 

Here you go!

Thanks again, Maysie Lecciones, for the design. (Of course, I paid her!)

Woody and Buzz Lightyear

Take Me or Leave Me

Of all the broadway shows, RENT is my favorite so far. I even bought the Original Broadway Soundtrack when I watched in NYC way back May 2003. Yesterday, I was so surprise when it was featured in the hit TV series, GLEE. I really love the rendition of Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) and Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley).

And of course, I need to post the original version of this song.

My NAME in JAJA.TV

Of course, I love tweeting and got a mention that my tweet can be seen in http://jaja.tv/brothers---sisters/ and I even made a screenshot of it. I just love it. Lol.

Cheesiest Poem!

Na-receive ko tong text na ito way back June 2009 pa pala at naka-save pa pala siya sa phone. Timing lang pala na i-post ko ito ngayong Valentine's Day! 

ENJOY!

Mahal kita todo todo.

Walang break, walang preno.

Mabangga man sa kanto,

Ikaw pa rin ang mahal ko. 

Sa dahon ng gumamela, 

Sa bulaklak ng sampaguita, 

Doon mo makikita

Ang salitang "Mahal kita!" 

"Mahal Kita!" sa Tagalog, 

"I love you!" sa English,

143 sa Mathematics,

Ewan ko lang sa Physics.

Tubig is Water, 

Ilog is River.

Combine it together, 

I LOVE YOU FOREVER!

Hahaha! Ano laban ka?

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

PACMAN's Crib

This video is circulated so fast in Facebook and when I checked it, it was the crib of our People's Champ, Manny Pacquiao that was featured in MTV Cribs.


Kudos, PACMAN! I so love your swimming pool!
