Hi,
Today is great. I had a great experience today at the US Embassy. Yeap, i went to get my visa interview done. Is such a experience. Will explain.
I woke up early in the morning, to get myself ready for the day. I didn't have a good night sleep but is alright it kept me awake through out. Shower and eat some cereal. Mom woke up to give me some documents that she forgot to give it to me. I make sure that i have all the information i need for the visa interview. Waited for awhile for my aunt to get ready. (my aunt work in the US Embassy, she is quite high rank, she gets to meet many president and leaders and so on around the world). So by 630am we left Subang. It was quite a smooth drive. Not much traffic on the road to the US Embassy.
My aunt stop at a place for breakfast. Cause we arrive in KL like 650-7am. So i had my breakfast at a market place. It was quite pack with people but the atmosphere was peaceful. Finish then my aunt brought some food for her friends in the Embassy.
Waited outside the US Embassy building. The place is so huge. And the security there is so tight. If you are not a worker in the US Embassy, you are not allow to bring in your hand-phone or any electronics. Even no sharp objects. They did body check, scan your items you brought to the Embassy. If you bring a electronic, it must be given to the security guard for safe keeping. Going in the building, there is another round of security check. Inside the building, they set the temperature just right, either cold or hot. Maybe little higher on the cold side. But it was just nice. Before my interview, i had to take a number and wait. Since i was the first guy there, my number was A001. COOL!!! my interview was suppose to be 740am, i was early. i was in the Embassy like 720am.
In that space of time, 720am to 740am, my stomach was making dinosaur noises and aching. So i know i was time to go to the toilet. Thank God that the business was short and they haven't call my number yet. So about 745am, they call me in. So i have give out my documents, scan my finger prints and then lastly, the interview. Some how i wasn't panicky, i was calm as a peanut. I chit chat with the people who are also doing the interview. And i gave many smiles. Bring a sense of joy to the place. The people who work in the Embassy are so so so so friendly. I had a get time there.
So my interview was quite fast. Like just 20 minutes, it was done. The consul just ask me, how are you, what your purpose there, your results are this and that. We had a long conversation about my high school result. Cause my results isn't fantastic. So i told the consul, I will do my best and study well. And i gave her a smile. Well i believe that is God's work in hand. I think He place some thing in her heart to grant me a visa to the States. Thank You, God so much. She said to me that she will give me a chance and make me promise that i will do well. So i got my visa. YEA!!!!
Later, i had to wait for my mom to pick me, my aunt can't cause she works there. So i waited till 10am. Saw my friend that day too. So we chit chat a little. Till my mom came to get me. Me and mom went to get me a credit card for me. This whole day, God is really blessing it and helping me walk through to so my doors easily. Went to Citibank, they were quite rude to my mom and me. So gave them a look. Then they told my mom that i can only get my credit card in 2 weeks time. I knew it was full of rubbish. This bank, is a international bank. These banks should be able to produce credit cards like what...3 working days or less. So my mom sought of scolded the person. But they are so thick face. They keep on saying 2 weeks. Till my mom say that I'm leaving to the US by the end of the year. Then they say, give us a airline ticket that he is leaving in such such a date, will put your son in the urgent list and should able to get your credit card by before Christmas. Amazing that God can do so many good things for His people.
Late morning, my mom decided that we have brunch at ss14, later go to Uncle Swa place to help me confirm my air ticket. After lunch we went to Uncle Swa place, chit chat, get my air ticket done, fax it to Citibank for proof that leaving end of the year. Then chit chat some more. So you guys must be wondering, when am I leaving for the states? This is confirm already. I'm leaving on the 30th December, departure time is 1145pm. So i have to be at airport by 930 or 10pm. But don't worry. I'll be back at the end of next year. Why? well my mom say that this air ticket is more cheaper then flighting there one way. So i be back next year. Guess you guys won't be missing me much.
I have settle the major things already, now is the minor things. Hopefully can get it done in 2 days time. Came back home, waited for aunt Jolene to come by to get church key from me. Took a nap. Help fix up some thing for my mom. Then in the night went for basketball.
Today basketball, instend of playing a game, we did drills. Mostly free throws. I cannot imagine it that today i miss so many free throws. My percentage really drop a lot. Got to buck up. After the drills, played a little game. Talk with Sze Jiun a bit. Went for supper. Come home shower, now ready to play some "games". So nighty nighty
Junior fish,
