We, your humble GCE O Level 2009 students
Thank you with our heart, our dear Heavens,
for standing by our side, throughout this week’s grueling fight.

We thank you for the easy EMaths Paper 1,
despite a little debate on which tin is The One.
We thank you for another easy EMaths Paper 2,
despite ‘cheong hei(long-winded) questions to snare those whose England English is not that powerful.

Some of us may begrudge you for AMaths Paper 1,
with a Page One that left many stunned.
Others may be grateful for a (slightly) less stressful AMaths Paper 2
though that binomial question left some of our rough paper like kiam chai cha lor ti (badly crumpled) too.

Before the burning of maths books begin,
many rue what might have been,
when they run through the solutions below
But please point out to Miss Loi any mistake though 😀

The pros amongst us who aim for A1 perfection
will pray that no significant digit nor careless mistake went undetected
While the mortals among us who simply aim to pass
will pray that everyone is as stupid mortal as us.
(Alright you know Miss Loi doesn’t mean this in the literal sense :P)

For such is the curse of moderation
that causes such widespread selfishnessness in the name of competition.

But give us the strength to let it go
and the inner belief to know
that we may have no regrets
as long as we have tried our best.

For now we need to renew our efforts
to face two weeks of Humanities and Sciences.

Speaking of this,
we wonder why Science & Humanities are lumped together next week?
And please ask the one who sets schedules for a living
why does the last maths paper always fall on the eve of Halloween???

劇終
The End

P.S. As usual, please inform Miss Loi should you discover any mistake (since she did this in haste at a cafe in Bugis Junction this evening). Feel free to discuss in the comments below should you vehemently disagree with any of the answers/approaches described within.

頑張って!!!
