unbelievable? believe it.

u are an arts-inclined person, or a conditions-manipulated science student whos more interested in social science than genes n Newton. n ur intrigued by e media, so much so tt ur willin to deviate frm e path of riches of engineerin or accountin. be different, u insisted. u gave ur best shot for a place in e elite communications school in asia. u get it. for ur place, 4 others were rejected. media. film, journalism, tv, magazines, adverts, public relations, radio. screw e engine n calculations.

along e way, u meet an unfamiliar but fearsome foe.

its inexplicable how Statistics managed to sneak into our coursework.

hello. last time i saw numbers n when 1 only equaled 1 n 2 stayed as 2 (which isnt e case in arts) was 2002 olevel a'math. i tried tutorin lower sec math but i stumbled aplenty along e experience.

imagine e panic when ur world becomes one where yes can only be yes n u cant argue til its a no. so i gotta mug. really mug. e kind u crash ur head w facts.

trust me. ppl were clueless. even for e supposedly and arguably intellectual population (this is a dirty word now) of WKWSCI. when a tough course comes along, ppl seek answers. but at least w smart questions lah. Stats, ppl were askin dumb questions. no one was afraid. coz anyway it seemed like no one got it. e questions seemed dumb, but not many could understand em too anyway.

theres a serious problem, n proof tt mass comm students sldnt be takin Stats, when 90% of e cohort, three weeks into it, say Chee-square/Chai-square/Kee-square instead of Kai-square.
