I think I need tuition all over again.

Damn me. I'm so ashamed of myself today. Here I am, university student to be, losing out in arithmetics to some kid waiting for his O level results. And he's not even a China scholar. Grrr.

Here's the scenario. Got this temp stocktake job at some stupid stuffy warehouse. Trying to count the number of Hitachi spare parts all messed up on the shelf. At first I wanted to count piece by piece, then I remembered what my primary school maths teacher used to say about incorporating mathematics in your daily life and all that bullshit, so I tried to do the additions and multiplications in a desperate attempt to save myself some effort. Bad mistake. Let me see, so that's (13x4) + (6x9) + (12x15). Godammit. 20 seconds later it was still (13x4) + (6x9) + (12x15). Fret not! I still have my handphone calculator! I was punching in the numbers into the keypad when that idiot said, "286 isit?" @#*$&!, never gave me a chance to 下台 at all. Moron. *evil thought: hope he failed his E maths in his O levels*

Argh. So freggin demoralised. =(
