What a sad tale

I was eating my sad, sad dinner when I noticed an article in the Chinese Shi Min paper which my packet of rice was resting upon.

Maths prodigy who won an Oxford place at 13 is now a £130-an-hour HOOKER

The above link is the whole story from a UK tabloid paper.

I am not going to type out the whole article. But the girl in question was a Malaysian and her story was an extremely sad one. Sufiah Yusof was a child maths genius who won a place at Oxford University at age of 13—but now the only sums Sufiah Yusof is interested in are the ones she earns as a prostitute in Manchester.

According to the report, Sufiah passed her A-Level at just age 12. Sufia was a strict Muslim child who prayed five times a day and was subjected to her strict father's famous Accelerated Learning Technique. She was also pushedby her super strict and psycho Dad to become the No.8 seed in Malaysia under 21s tennis.

Her brain is thousand times more brilliant than mine but she is selling her body now to earn money at the age of 23. A brilliant gift down the drain.

Her story is quite heartbreaking. By the way, her topless photos are also in the link. So if you are easily offended (although I am not sure really why would anyone be offended by topless photos), don't click.
