The thinker and the guy who likes to think
One of my professors was one of the interviewers for the NUS discrete admission exercise. It’s where people are given another chance to get a place in NUS if they are unable to make it based on their A level grades. My professor asked an interviewee casually what he likes to do in his free time. This guy replied that he likes to think, that he thinks everywhere he goes. I don’t know bout you, but I found his reply rather funny so much so that I nearly burst out laughing in lecture. I wonder whether he got into NUS in the end.
One day, I want to go and see this sculpture ‘the thinker’. Art rarely evokes any feelings in me as it is supposed to. But this particular piece of art does that and makes me want to just stand there looking at it and thinking my own thoughts too.
What I am thinking now is that I do not know enough palladium chemistry to save my life. Oh dear...

Liking to think in your free time, is probably a bad answer. It does to some extent, imply that most of the time, your not thinking =p
Yeah, I think he said that to impress the interviewer. Sadly, it probably has the opposite effect.
And like how people who proclaim that they are smart usually aren’t, people who claim to do this intense intellectual activity called thinking alot usually don’t do much thinking.
