Just heard from Eric aka No. 21 that Ms Tang told him that we can now go back without having to stay for 10 days at one of the other halls. Great! Now I can go back... NOT!

Sigh, wrong timing, but at least it shows that the worldclass brains upstairs managed to knock some sense into themselves. Maybe I'll go back when term starts...

Patiently awaiting the arrival of the gold spray...
