Biometrics done.

Sent application off last Tuesday. After finding out what it meant by proving sufficient amount when arriving UK.

Window shopping!!! Finding out what to bring, what to leave, and what to sell. I am thinking of getting rid of my speakers (SOB), and find out what winter wear to buy to survive my one month. Am also wondering about what career to move towards to, which is my next life dilemma.

PAcking some stuff so that it can be shipped from Malaysia. Cheaper.

Awaiting for biometric fingerprint scan. Only then we are allowed to send our application to Wellington. That causes a slight delay to the trip. Sigh. Oh well. Some things just can't be helped.

Exciting exciting exciting

IT HAS ARRIVED!!!!! OMFG

Issued: 1st Feb
Received: 15th April

=D

Looks like they have got back the packaged on my birthday and re-sent it again on the 13th of March. It still hasn't arrived.

If I timed this, including a huge marginal period, it should come at worse this week. If not, my plans has a slight delay. The next stage takes 3 weeks, in which it will be done before early May and that is where I'd like to fly off.

If not, I'll have to pass the Hong Kong trip (unless its a day trip) and cut down the period in Malaysia (which is kind of a good thing anyway). And in the mean time, spend time with dad, look for a casual job and setting a date for the Agency is also part of the list.

Perhaps, its best not to create any backup plans. So that I'd put 100% into the application. Guess its another learning curve.

Sigh....let the waiting game continue. At least I am not alone. My sis is expecting soon :)

And so I rung them to issue me a new decision letter. Saves the effort to wait for 12 weeks to officially know that it is lost in the mail.

New Degree - $75
New License - $31.70

Academic letter and transcript - spare

Rest - can be forgotten...

For the last 2 weeks, I had this funny feeling that something was not right and its so true!! Gosh, the anticipation really gave me a hard kick one night so much so I was waiting for an email response from them. And I tried calling that night but it didn't go through. I woke up 6 times through the night, and to wake up and receiving this:

A decision was made on your application on 05/02/08, and was despatched to you by airmail to the following address:

OMG....how in the world can they get the number wrong, as well as Manukau was spelled incorrectly.

But a response is better than none at all. My heart is satisfied and content. I can now settle down.
