i really "hate" to talk to my direct superior. And, I have decided to resign. Can I just email her to inform her and then cc. HR my superior's superior? And, then place the letter on her table? I know it is rather awkward and unprofessional.

Please don't be a dummy. Inform her verbally and drop her an email. HRM is not superior than to anyone. Let's go step by step , shall we?
i. Inform verbally to your immediate superior.
ii. Carbon copy (c.c) to your immediate superior, HRM, and to your personal mail.
If you have written resignation letter...
i. Tender it personally to your immediate superior.
ii. Photocopy a sheet and submit it to HRM and another copy for your personal safekeeping.
Start with a bang and end with a whimper or start with a squeeze and end with a bang.

hey guys, I'm planning to resign from my current job soon. I'm supposed to give a 2-month notice but I'm planning to give about 1-month and a half notice due to certain circumstances. Here's what it says in my offer letter
The period of notice for termination shall be two months or salary in lieu of notice. This notice shall be in written form and the commencement of notice period shall be calculated from the date the said written notice is notified receipt by the employee or the company as the case may be.
So does it means that I only have to pay a compensation of half a month salary? or is it either 2-month notice or pay 2 months salary? (as in nothing in between)
It's pretty much obvious. Pay whatever that is of shortage from the two months notice period. To simplify, you got to pay half a month for salary in lieu of notice.
Regards, Joey
p.s: It's stated very clearly there.
