When the Discriminant > 0

Multiplication is vexation
Division is as bad
The rule of 3 perplexes me
And fractions drive me mad

This little poem I memorized when I was in Kindergarten still stays etched after so long. I never got the subject, never really had the gift for it either. Until Sec 1 and 2 I had fantastic math teachers, Mr Teo Tiong Hin and Ms Seow and the whole subject became a joy to learn, and whenever I solved a problem it was such a satisfaction. I thought I finally had it. Until this year, oh it's back to square one. (Shit, even a phrase "square one" has to have math connotations)
I was so fed up learning Quadratic Functions I totally went beserk. I believe I can get it, but I need the right person to guide me through. It's a mess, really.

2006 has been a fantastic activity year, but I only wish I could change my grades. (P.S: Looking for a top grade hacker, ha ha). But there's still 5 weeks. There's still time.

I hope.
