WANTED "MR. MATHEMATICS"

To give a proof to that? I did not count the change of my money. I just put it directly to my wallet. I also do not like anything that comes with calculations and computations but I am financially good. I know how to save with my only rules don't buy what you don't need.

This hatred with mathematics started with my very terror math school teacher (i just hope that she's alive today for her to read this blog) who happens to give an assignment to our class which is memorize multiplication table but unfortunately on that day I was absent because I was a sickly and absentee child during elementary days so on the following day when I attended our class, everybody knows the multiplication table except me. Very poor Amelyn. It was one of the bad day! I was one of the unfortunate who never had an idea what to do? the rule of the game is if you give a correct answer , you step forward and when you don't know the answer you stay put. I never move from my place up to the end of the class and my math teacher scolded me as if she wants to tell me your such an idiot. well, up to this time, i was never been motivated to study math even if i already finish my master. I don't really care with number. I've got serious trauma on that day. Then, never, ever study math.

well, i am not saying it is an excuse but maybe i was just so stubborn. i have this attitude if i hate something or someone then i put a mark on my head. YOUR X!. it is not good but my mind works like that because I am a kind of person who will give everything up to the time I will be bankrupt but once I give up. There is no point of turning back.

Going back to math. Only now, that I quite recover because I realized that I really need to study this subject because it is needed especially tomorrow that I will have my final exam in Statistics. Oh my God! pls. help me. Anticipating tomorrow exam will make me call all the saints from heaven, earth and the terrestial and not only St. John de Baptist de La Salle. But in fairness to my teacher here she's really good. I've learned to appreciate stat subject than before despite of the headache it gives me. I was even thinking to study it more this sem break. This is not a serious joke but a commitment to make.

Not, because I am desperate not to find a man who is good in math who can save me from this hell in mathematics but because I tend to learn I can't live in the academic world especially if I want to venture into research field without understanding math. How, I wish later on I can explain in my paper some words like "this is significant at .05 level" di ba charing! or "probability" oh, my God I still need to study Chi Square tonight.

Well, goodluck Amelyn. It is a tough job. I just hope that I cannot recall my school teacher face again when I study math. anyway, I already forgive her.
