Merry Christmas from the land of quirky posters,
And … umm … even quirkier restaurant names.
From a land with a dashing night view,
Where the locals can be really zealous in spreading the joy of Christmas …
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! … and now to hunt down the culprits *grrrl*
On this day of Winter Solstice,
when Jφss Sticks are smothered by the first flakes of snow,
when students disappear to faraway lands …
Winter comes in earnest, to put an end to an era.
Merry Christmas everyone *Wipes away a tear*
On Monday, Miss Loi saw this article on the newspaper that appeared initially to undermine the very core of her fundamental mathematical beliefs.
But upon closer inspection of the rest of the article, which went on and on and on about the minority side of things, she realized (to her relief) that there was probably a typo in the title – in which “More drivers agree” would sound more appropriate.
Because, if 26% is considered to be the majority, then are we having the right government running this country???! it’s simply mathematically incorrect.
11:59PMAM (TYPO!!!):
Miss Loi waits patiently in the car, with sunglasses on.
12:00PM:
Target appears – spotted walking towards another car. Miss Loi’s eyes brightens. *Grips steering wheel*
12:02PM:
Aunty (i.e. The Target) takes an age to squeeze her groceries into car. Miss Loi getting impatient.
12:03PM:
Aunty completes squeezing of groceries into car. Aunty drives out of parking lot. Miss Loi takes off sunglasses and quickly zooms into vacated lot before the Ah Beng car behind beats her to it.
12:04PM:
After a thorough scan across the horizon, Miss Loi tears her parking coupon (like all good parking citizen should do), as shown below:
12:05:00PM:
Miss Loi hippity-hippity hops away from her car.
1:20PM:
Miss Loi hippity-hippity hops back to find this on her car:
1:30PM:
A distraught Miss Loi calls Mr Loi:
Bro! You wouldn’t believe how SUAY I was at the carpark just now! I tore my coupon to start at 12:20PM, left my car at 12:05PM, and I got summoned at 12:08PM! They employ ninjas as parking attendants these days is it?!!!!
Mr Loi replied in a calm voice:
Sigh … that is a ‘hot’ carpark with a parking attendant coming every hour. Please brush up your rusty A-Level Probability & Statistics and solve the following question to know your chances of getting caught, and try to lower your probability of getting caught the next time:
Assuming that the parking attendant visits the carpark once every hour, and that the probability of her turning up to check at any given minute is 1/60.
Miss Loi tears her coupon to commence at 12:20PM and left her car at 12:05:00PM.
* Take each minute as a discrete random variable
1:35PM:
An angry Miss Loi hangs up the phone abruptly

Miss Loi’s Christmas Present
(7)It’s not difficult for regular followers of this blog to guess that Miss Loi has spent Christmas last week in a neighbouring country.
And this festive season would not be complete without mentioning the Christmas present she received from the warm and friendly locals, who were so sad to see Miss Loi leave that, in the true spirit of giving, they stopped her on her way back in the middle of the highway to present her with this parting gift:

didn’t have the heart to ‘reject’ this gift (for RM50)
In order to stop this blog from degenerating into a traffic fine farce (if it hasn’t already) and potentially having to rename its title to “For Non-Effective Prevention Of Kena Saman Syndrome”, Miss Loi now has a pretty good idea of what her New Year’s Resolution will be.
