Woe to this day! For it shall forever go down in the Annals of Time as the day The High Priestess, with an aching heart, pulled the lever that swung shut the heavy Temple Gates, much to the dismay of the massed ranks of LMBFH Syndrome sufferers beyond.
As if the heavens share the pain of this tragic event, a light rain began to fall, drowning out the torturous cries of those stranded in the plains of Novena. Miss Loi knelt to the floor, as a river of tears smothered the once-divine lights radiating from her face.
The fight for the Cause has been long and hard. In the dark months following the Release of the Mid-Year Results, The Temple Gates were open as long as they could, taking in and caring for all fleeing the ravages of the LMBFH Syndrome, including those labeled ‘incorrigible’, ‘hopeless’, those with the poorest of poor grades, and even the enigmatic Privatus Candidatii.
But alas, the weight of this great burden has finally caught up with her slight shoulders. With only one Miss Loi around, there is a severe shortage of personnel within the Order of the Temple to tend to the needs of the sufferers.
The endless tide of Mathematical refugees meant that Miss Loi’s humble little sanctuary of hope is now bursting at the seams, and more importantly she is unable to minister the required joss sticks and maximum tender loving care to any more wishing to pass through The Gates.
With the imminent battle against the evil Dark Lord Preliminario looming, a painful decision was made to close the Temple Gates for now, so that the Venerable Miss Loi can focus on preparing her existing charges for the upcoming onslaught.
To those of you currently stranded in the plains, Miss Loi feels your pain and suffering. But despair not! For you have her word that The Temple Gates will be reopened once the Dark Lord is defeated, just before the final showdown with the Ultimate Enemy. And defeat him we shall!
Prepare for battle!

Oh my gosh. When I read your title and first paragraph, plus the weeping picture, I thought you were closing down your temple permanently! Gave me a scare lah!! Tsk tsk. 😛
But, once again, another well-written post! 🙂

Miss Loi writes reasonably coherently, but I'd think it'd take more to make it as a copywriter.
Since her own business running the temple is so good that she's got to shut it down temporarily, perhaps she should just stick to it ?

Encik,
Haha what mama drama? *LOL* This is just Miss Loi and her usual babble.
Copywriter? No way! Can you hear the dissenting voices from the Copywriters Guild?

To all esteemed members of the Copywriters Guild,
Miss Loi has never been schooled in the ways of your ancient art and thus will never, ever profess to be one of your kind.
All said and done, she's just a (busy) little (timid) tutor who'd like to think that she has always been sticking to what she does best.
