Just came back from my first day of work after 2 weeks on hiatus. Things haven’t changed much. Everyone’s still stressing about the tonnes of things to do in this place, and everyone’s sick…..like literally. Cough and flu bug all around the office. Have to start stocking up on my vitamins.
Went for an interview at the US Consulate on Thursday to apply for a visiting visa. The family and I applied together to go to my youngest aunt’s wedding in South Carolina/L.A. in October. It was quite a hassle to get into the embassy building. First, you have to switch off and leave your mobile phone and anything electronic (even my mum’s calculator was confiscated!) in the security area, put your bags through a scanner, get your bags wiped and checked for explosive particles, then walk through the metal detector and get body searched and your begs turned inside out, before being able to check out of the security area.
The interview process was surprisingly quick though. Maybe it was because we applied as a family, and we all didn’t look much like terrorists, so the interviewer didn’t ask us much and said that we can go back to pick up our visas and passports the next day! 10 years visiting visa to the US, woohoo!!
So even if I can’t make it for the trip in October, which I am pretty sure I can’t because of work constraints, I still have a valid visa for the next 9 years! It would be great if I could go this October though, we’ll have to see.
Going for ‘Man-I-Look-Good’ Gary’s pool party tomorrow night. Gonna ‘try’ and mingle with all the rich, ‘heir-to-the-multi-million-dollar-business’ kids that are going to be there….hahaha…
Anyways, hope it’ll be fun. Gary….it better be! 
I got to go get some beauty sleep now. Nite kids!!
