A quick check with her Trusty Webmaster was met with vehement denials that no online ad was ever placed.
Ever the curious, she clicked on the link with trepidation, half-expecting her chaste name to be forever ruined alongside the bold promises of Viagra, Ciallis and some Nigerian banker. Her heart melted when she saw this:
Despite Trusty Webmaster‘s initial remark of “Walau! That maths question my grandmother also can do!!!” (he’s so mean and uncouth!), Miss Loi finds the little monk so very cute and is mightily touched by this kind gesture from The Young Businessman.
But now Miss Loi is under a bit of pressure. According to earlier comments, the previous beneficiary had rewarded this enterprising blogger with a free copy of their software!
But what can a humble tutor like Miss Loi offer? Certainly not free O-Level Maths tuition to someone who’s well past the puberty age. Hmmm … will divulging the secret location of Miss Loi’s Temple be suffice?
All Singaporean students should watch this video *LOL*:
Perhaps this is why angmoh and cyborg students are always asking questions in class, while many Singaporeans sufffering from Acute Face-Loss Prevention Syndrome (oh my, we’re a disease-ridden bunch!) are finding it difficult to unseal their golden mouths to ask questions in class.
Miss Loi’s rowdyhappening lively classes aside *ahem*, there are rumours of some classes these days resembling wakes (minus the coffins and the mahjong sessions).
Instead of reciting the old adage “You won’t know till you ask!”, Miss Loi shall say this:
You’ve paid your expensive school fees,
Now don’t let your teacher get away scot-free!
You won’t look stupid in front of your crush
Your heroic act may even make him/her blush
So fire at will all your questions to your ‘cher
And make him/her suffer!
More importantly a better student you will make,
Rather than letting your ‘cher become a Buddha statue at a wake!
Wow. Miss Loi is blushing at what she just wrote …
Ok so you’ve spotted that cheapo Mentos in this picture, but it’s Miss Loi’s thought/teaching that counts!
Bonjour!
Not many know this, but Miss Loi loves her students so much that she frequently braves the Seven Seas, the CTE traffic, and the extra 10 minutes of her parking coupon, to raid supermarkets in the furthest reaches of our land for the most heavenly and ambrosial hors d’oeuvre for her joss sticks sessions.
Interestingly, Singaporean students are a curiously shy bunch at the start. On average, for every new batch, this is the status of the tidbits jar up till Session Three:
Why so shy? Scared Miss Loi charge you extra for the sweets? Or does Miss Loi look so stern that you don’t dare to lift your finger?
However, from Session Four onwards, most usually can’t stand it anymore and this will be the status of the tidbits jar at the end of each lesson:
Hence this will also be the time for Miss Loi to plan her next journey across the Seven Seas, CTE traffic, and to buy new parking coupons.
Yes the packet in the middle was opened prematurely by Miss Loi. She was damn hungry when this pic was taken!
UPDATE:
Sigh.
Students these days are not easily contented with traditional cuisine in the form of Mentos, Fruit Plus etc. Having been threatened with the possibility of mass demonstrations and hunger strikes outside the Temple Grounds should they be continually denied their favourite brands of snacks, Miss Loi scurried down to the supermarket today to purchase several premium brands.
Yes … they look appetizing don’t they? Just imagine the smooth Italian Galatine chocolate (with 80% milk) melting in your mouth …
But before you lot of greedy *%&^ rush forward , let it be known that these premium tidbits are only available as rewards to those of you who can answer the questions correctly in class!
What’s the difference between the Kinematics question below and the previous one?
Just like stubborn Physics students who insist on using their super duper rocket science motion equations to attempt A-Maths kinematics questions, equally-stubborn A-Maths students will insist on using their Level 99 magical differentiation and integration powers to tackle E-Maths kinematics.
These Paper 1 questions usually take up a paltry 6 marks. Though it’s still around 7-8% of your overall Paper 1 score, Miss Loi thinks you should save up your ultimate Level 99 skills for the bosses later.
So what exactly is the difference? … Graphs!
The diagram is the speed-time graph for the first 30 seconds of the motion of an object.
Given that the distance covered by the object in the first 10 seconds is 60 metres, find the value of u.
Find the speed of the object after 16 seconds of motion.
On the axes given below, draw
the distance-time graph for the first 30 seconds of the motion of the object.
the acceleration-time graph for the same 30 seconds.
Having sacrificed their work-life balance to painstakingly churn out these graphs on (heaven forbids) MS Word, do you seriously think the examiners (and Miss Loi) are going to simply let you ‘off the axes’?
Once again, think about those who don’t take A-Maths for a schooling. Concept of gradients, similar triangles etc. are some of the rudimentary Level 1 powers they have at their disposal
P.S. It is imperative you already possess the Level 2 skills of deducing Speed-Time, Distance-Time and Acceleration-Time graphs from each other when you attempt this. And please don’t fall into the trap of getting stuck in the overrated speed = distance/time thingy. We don’t draw the graphs for fun!

Did We Just Order An Ad?
(6)When Miss Loi logged in to her blog console in preparation of her sad but angst-ridden post yesterday, she was alerted to this incoming link titled “MissLoi Advertisement“.
A quick check with her Trusty Webmaster was met with vehement denials that no online ad was ever placed.
Ever the curious, she clicked on the link with trepidation, half-expecting her chaste name to be forever ruined alongside the bold promises of Viagra, Ciallis and some Nigerian banker. Her heart melted when she saw this:

Don’t tell her she has to 以身相许?!!!
