Hi Bingge,

I have to be honest and say that I'm pretty bad at remembering people's birthdays! I'll have to defer to the whole team on that question. :-D

Hey Jenny, that's so sweet of your parents - and so very typical of Chinese hospitality.

Jenny, Dave, Eileen:

祝你生日快乐! Hope you all have a great b-day celebration.

So this begs the question - how about the other b-days at Cpod? When are they? Enquiring minds want to know. People world-around will celebrate with drinks in your honor ;^)

Henning, I was kind of thinking that, but lesson 730 won't be at ChinesePod's two year marker, that already passed over two months ago! (earliest pod date is September 1, 2005). So while that means it would take two years for a poddie that does a lesson every day to complete (no, wait, because by then there would be another 730 lessons... every day still adds one!), doesn't seem to be too much of a mile stone. I would say 750 is a nice round number and call it good then. ;)

Oh, if only it was even possible to think what kind of things ChinesePod writers will come up with in the next 700+ espisodes. That's gotta be a little overwhelming to newcomers on what to study among so many lessons! Is what you can teach with Chinese exhaustive? Is Jenny? Just to think she is the voice in almost all but a few of those! (and while John said when I met him there were a few without Jenny, I forgot which... and don't know if he refered to the fake lesson with him and "Bob")

Jenny, I'm there! When and where? :) But they are going to have to reserve a hall or something!

Happy Birthday! Or should I say Birth-yesterday? It's still your birthday in England as I write this :)

730 = 365 x 2

AZERDocMom, Try to send the mp3 per message (go to her profile,like for the MM guess ya know?) or send it per e-mail.

朱琦萬歲!

哇，真羡慕你，Bazza！

Here's one with Amber and Jenny. :)

What did I do to deserve all of you?

When I showed my parents this page, they were so touched that they wanted to invite every poodie to dinner at our place.

btw,

哇，Chinesepod really does have a lot of 美女s！

AZERDocMom, looks like you're trying link to your desktop. ;) You'll have to upload it to some webspace.

henning,

is '730' some kind of internet slang?

朱琦，生日快乐并且祝愿你最佳这个新年在你的活。:-)

Bazza- Doh!! (or is it Dou4!!)

Rich,

the relevant lesson-count milestone will be "730".

Bazza,

how do I post a short mp3 to share? What I posted above didn't work. I have a iMac G5, OS X

Well, that didn't work : (

I wish for you peace and joy and happiness! Thank you for being a beautiful shining light in this world and sharing yourself with the us. Happy, happy birthday : )

RonInDC, I'm saving these for later. ;)

This is for you, dearest Jenny!

And if you didn't see it in my post on the lesson today, Happy 700th Lesson of ChinesePod! Can there even be 700 different things to talk about? 加油！

Happy Birthday Jenny!!!

(finally able to get online... one hour and19 minutes before the day ends)

Happy Birthday Jenny !

and

Happy Beaujolais nouveau Day !

All together, it sounds like a very good opportunity for a party.

Happy Birthday Jenny.

"Pretty soon Jenny will be half of all our avatars."

Don't get me wrong. Jenny is fabulous. But I think I might be a Amber or Eileen person, myself.

我感谢耶稣赐给了你那么多才能。祝你朱琦生日快乐和上帝的保佑！

朱琦老师！

今天热烈祝贺你生日快乐、

并同时我祝大家学有所成。

这里没有人问你多大岁数、

但很容易想象你比我年轻、

也许是比我的女儿大一点。

羡慕你们就有美好的前途。

请你们年轻人也顺便祝愿

我们中老年人健康长寿吧!

AuntySue, they have an international service, you just select the country and shows you what available within that country, then it's sent from a local outlet. So it was sent within 2 days of ordering.

You're welcome. :)

Friendship immortalised on the internet...This is a great life to live, remember and show off to my kids and grandkids.

Thanks everyone for making me feel very very appreciated.

Bazza,

Thank you for the flowers. I wasn't in the office today (not out drinking either), but someone at cpod took a photo and emailed it to me.

Thanks a lot!

祝你生日快乐，朱琦！

按照你的年龄，你还是算我的小妹妹啊 ;-)

Hmm, if they happen to realise that China is a day earlier than they think it is, do you think they'll be able to find the place? I'm betting on it ending up as a Friday delivery, which is party day anyway so that'll be good.

I send a plant from interflora. :) They're supposed to the deliver the day you specify.

Sorry Rich, I can't see what you've written. ;)

Jenny, 生日快乐! I hope you have a really great day! :-)

Did you send her your glasses? ;-)

> Bazza: I only remembered because it says on facebook. ;)

Cheater! Hmm... I knew I had seen it in black & white before, and you can't get any more black & white than Facebook (with some blue at the top)... I should have known I had somewhere seen "Jenny Zhu, November 15"

Jenny, did you get the gift I sent yet?

Made it back (even though I should be going to class) to actually wish Jenny 生日快乐 on the actual day, and then to wish David and Eileen 生日快乐 as well! Have a wonderful party ya all!

In Cologne we would say you and Eileen and Travelyan are "Karneval children". But that conclusion only works with areas where carnival is celebrated as wild as in Cologne I guess.

:)

Happy birthday Jenny! Thanks for sharing your wonderful self with us for another year.

Jenny,

我们俩也祝你生日快乐！

And to amplify all the voices here let's echo in the congratulations from last year:

http://blog.praxislanguage.com/2006/11/14/happy-birthday-jenny/

That was a great year - wasn't it?

生日快乐！

Pretty soon Jenny will be half of all our avatars.

Happy birthday, Jenny!

Jenny you will be feeling warm and fuzzy after all the sake bombs that are in store for you.

Happy birthday, Jenny!

See you tomorrow at the big bash... :)

Thank you guys, you always give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Eileen, David and I will do a joined party on Friday. Stick around for some incriminating pics.

To everyone whose birthday is around the corner, 生日快乐！

Haha... it was a pleasant surprise that Dave and I shared the same birthday! :-)

Bazza's right though, it's Thursday and that means, its Jenny's BIRTHDAY!

Happy Birthday!!! :-)

To MexicoBob, yes it was. hehe... :-)

Wasn't Forrest Gump´s girlfreind named Jenny also :)

It's now Thursday in Shanghai, so 生日快乐 Jenny. :)

What? You all celebrate your birthday on Friday?

Mine is not that far away either...

Hi guys,

Just to continue what Bazza said, "... and our very own David L./trevelyn" as well.

:-)

I think it's Eileen's birthday on Friday as well.

Yes, and Bazza reminded us in another post that it is on Thursday. Everybody, get ready!

I only remembered because it says on facebook. ;)

Thanks 白说. So I'm right... in 2 days (11pm here in UK on the 13th). That is what I remember, but don't know why I remember, so I doubt myself. Oh, of course the podcast from that day with Ken told me the exact date. It was even called " Happy Birthday", go fig. So, what lesson will they have her do this year? "I'm getting old"? Ha ha...no, Jenny looks so young anyway.

It's on the 15th.
