Zeng, King of Geography from Singapore incidentally putting us on the world map

[BabyBlade]

I have to admit, I know none of the answers. His knowledge of the world map is out of this world. His knowledge of the American history is also unbelievable. According to the article on CNA, he stares at maps four hours a day. 😂

Alamak. Thought you are into jp culture.

Definition of otaku

: a person having an intense or obsessive interest especially in the fields of anime and manga —often used before another noun otaku culture.

Reminds of my son, he has the whole NE line, NS Line, EW line, Circle line and LRT line memorised when he was in the upper Primary and  secondary school.. LOL..  He can tell you the name of the station and it's station number... Ask him what station is EW26, he will tell you it's Lakeside, and vice versa.  But he is not a otaku, coz he couldn't care less about the train, or any new arrival of trains..

Now in poly, all the useless knowledge forgotten liao..

Look like similar achievement many years ago with our Singapore Ex-Porn Queen, Annabel Chong who also incidentally putting us on the world map. Not bad at all

It goes to shows, if interest or passion and knowledge are aligned, kids can memorise alot of stuff..  Too bad most kids aren't passionate about school subjects.

I had to compromise on the cards becos he wanted to join soccer as cca and I went against it. Told him horror experiences I had with the sport...of course, I added lots of spices to the stories lah 😁
