Check out MATH!
This post is dedicated to those Singaporean kids or people studying in Singapore who feel like they're drowning in Mathematics due to the incessant demand from the Singapore Government and Ministry of Education. It is also dedicated to those who have gone through the fires of Mathematics and vowed never to look back at it again. This is also dedicated for the people who agree that Mathematics is one of the BEST subjects in this whole wide world (namely: Bong, Sean Lim, Sandy, and etc.).
This is for you to check at the irony and be encouraged to learn MORE Math.
Seriously...Math is good for you. Helps you calculate how to park your car, improves your spatial ability, gives you more room to put your thinking cap on, helps in receipts and tax, and especially for young people with limited spending ability (and those going dutch) to calculate how much to pay what when the food bill comes.

American students are much more confident about their math abilities than Singapore students, yet they do far worse: Even the least confident students in Singapore outscore the most confident students in America!
Cool yeah?
