Most Interesting

I have a younger brother who's pretty gifted in many ways. Some might argue he's the better son, many see that he's the taller one, a great many would also regard him as the more learned brother of us with a current cumulative GPA of Almost Perfect in Law.

He's still my younger brother who ran to hide behind me whenever mother needed to whoop his ass. I don't care what you say about his muscles now.

That said, I dare say he's one of the most interesting persons I know so far. At a tender age, he made it into the Gifted Education Programme, an event which surprised the entire primary school we both were in at the time, but a move that was highly encouraged for someone of his calibre.

Fast-forward to today and he's acing Law after a rather tumultuous period which saw him grow up into quite the fellow now.

He broke a school record or two in the sports he participated in. He's gotten more scholarships in the past few years than there are immigrants to Singapore. A winner's trophy in Law-related competitions here and there now decorate his humble living space. A good heart lies within as he volunteers his help with unfortunate children born with mental retardation. Some young ones have been fortunate enough to have him as a tuition teacher as he earns extra keep to not stress the family's already strained resources. He plays the acoustic guitar, but chose to sing in a school event like it was our bathroom. If anyone says guys can't multi-task, the Macbook Air and Samsung Galaxy S3 that I suspect is wired to his consciousness would prove everyone wrong.

Also, he cooks a mean meal and crochets and makes bracelets and now does woodwork for leisure.

As far as I'm concerned, the lot of us might as well give life up so he gets more oxygen necessary to flourish further.

Maybe I'm over-selling him because we share blood, but if anyone deserves a scholarship to read Law in a university in the United Kingdom, it's him. No, seriously, if you do know of any decent, comprehensive scholarship to read Law in the UK, please do drop me a note in the comments space below. Helping out a real bro here. Thank you.

Dremel, oh Dremel. He's good with wood.
