Update two months later …
For the last time,
Even the coffeeshop uncles know it was an April Fools' joke now
Update 4 April 2012: For those of you who are STILL not convinced, Miss Loi has just clarified this on 新明日报 (Shin Min Daily News). 😕
Alright, this post has been STOMPed!
If you belong to the 50+% population of righteous people who are “Enraged” by this, do take a glance at the date of this post (and read through the comments here too just to further convince yourself, if necessary).
Else, enjoy your stay at Jφss Sticks and feel free to browse around, especially for previous 1st April jokes blog posts for your reading pleasure 😉
As countless rejected callers would have known by now, Miss Loi has stopped giving private home tuition since a few years ago – choosing instead to focus her effort and limited time on her 14 (++) exclusive joss sticks sessions at The Temple.
On the other hand, though, there are rumours of her being spotted in the vicinity of various housing estates across Singapore in the wee hours of the night.
*Sigh* … 既然事情已经到了这个地步, Miss Loi feels that she should now come clean on her moonlighting activities, which require her to visit students’ homes regularly again, in part to nip any potentially-nasty gossips in the bud about her sidelining in one of the world’s oldest occupation (DON’T YOU DARE).
You see, as reported in this recent news paper article, the combined demands of school work, CCAs and Level 99 worksheets from well-meaning elite tuition centres these days has produced a new (albeit slightly underground) market in the local tuition scene, where specialist tutors zip around the island to “service” students by helping them complete their homework while they get their much-needed rest.
As for Miss Loi, she first got into this a few months back when a desperate parent called her for help, promising to pay her a “fortune” if she would help her son complete a tall stack of math homework left on his desk by that very night.
An inner voice told Miss Loi it wasn’t quite right, but having massively overspent on last month’s credit card bill a look into the pleading, sunken eyes of the pale, emaciated student evoked her immense sympathy and the rest, as they say, is history. Though she later discovered his lack of rest was caused by watching too many ‘live’ football matches at 2-4 am 😕
Anyways, now that she has let the kitty out of the bag, Miss Loi might as well take this opportunity to formally announce …

Absolutely hilarious. *vbg* I liked those "tweets" that set the story in motion, and I burst out laughing at "Neat handwriting that resembles your child's".
