In February, he told CNA about his love for maps, which explains his truly impressive knowledge of geography.
The former Hwa Chong Institution student was quoted as saying, “I stare at maps for about four hours a day. Not in one stretch, but I just stare at maps when doing other things. I’ll just tab into Maps and tab out of it. I use OpenStreetMap; I hate Google Maps. I have OpenStreetMap open constantly; I’ll just tab in, tab out.
It’s kind of a… fixation. I have very little of a social life. So I have a very restricted set of interests. I just think of maps all day,” he replied gingerly. I had a globe next to my bedside at like three years old, and I just memorised everything on it. And then I got my Geographica which was a 600-page, A4-size for-scale world atlas when I was six years old. Again, I just spent all day looking at it.” /TISG- Advertisement -
