Able to reach the deepest recesses of one’s consciousness, it’s known that the fresh-scented smoke from Miss Loi’s therapeutic joss sticks has got a calming effect on troubled students’ minds, soothing ruffled nerves on those stressful eves of major exams to let them see the light, when they finally realize at the death that (a + b)2 is NOT a2 + b2.
