Many greetings from a land far far away

Hi handsome dudes and pretty dudettes and respected English teacher!

I bring you all greetings from a land far far away!

It's called China!

Land of the good food!

So yes this post actually has another reason for being here. I would just like to say that I CAN'T GO FOR THE COMPULSORY CIP HENCE IT IS NOT COMPULSORY FOR ME.

And I will also miss the prelim orals because I will be in China until the 23rd.

Alternatively, maybe the school can send me the topic and I will happily record my reply in cassette tape format after I'm done preparing and FedEx it over.

Do I need to bring any proof? Boarding pass, etc. etc.? D: Let me know!

Also, please don't reply to this post because my connection is very screwy and it doesn't allow me to view LiveJournals, Blogs, or generally any online diary thing. So I can't view my own blog!D: !Ultra-sadness! I can't view comments as well. How did I see the posts for this blog, then? Well, there is something called Edit:Posts in the Dashboard. ;D

I can only post, which is why I am posting to tell Mr Faizad and Farnie. So yes, I have an excuse for creating this attention-seeking post.

Okay? Okay. Also, I can't find Zijing's DVD cause I can't find a DVD shop, which is super weird. But I think (I hope) I'm going to the city quite soon, so it remains to be seen. Just in case, tell Zijing not to get her hopes up please. : D

Dear dottiesunfish (my memory fails to help me pinpoint your true identity),

Firstly, I take offence - "Hi handsome dudes and pretty dudettes and respected English teacher!". Why are the first 2 adjectives for the first two nouns in the quoted sentence / greeting related to beauty while the last adjective describing the last noun veers completely away from being aesthetically-pleasing? Is it because they do not collocate? Or are you stereotyping and making hasty generalisations that English teachers cannot be pleasant to the eye AND be venerable at the same time? Remember what we learnt in class - parallel structures! :P~

Secondly, I'll be within your vicinity soon (in about 12 hrs time to be precise) but in the SAR instead of the motherland. We can make arrangements to have the oral exam at the border crossing or I could meet you in Shen Zhen. No need for cassette tapes yeah? They are so passe.

On a more serious note however, I think you need to let your classmates inform the examiner the reason why you won't be coming for the oral exam. It would help also if you could get a letter from your parents.
