Hey yiwei clan (for those who are still following this blog..kakaka)....time for my weekly update again...hehe..
Happy Chinese New year in advance!!kakaka....
I think I mentioned my visa application to you guys on sat/sun...but really thank God for what happen today!!
To cut a long story short:
I was expecting to meet up with the lim's and get the other yiwei members to come out and just hang out after I got my visa on friday. The visa application got processed way ahead of schedule and I was like thanking God for having the visa approved so quickly(I sort of assumed that the visa application was successful). So I went to the visa application centre and got the parcel with my documents in it, and once I opened it......"REFUSAL OF CLEARANCE ENTRY"....was the first words I saw...and ya u know the rest...making phone calls to the high commission ruined my day not to mention my weekend where we got a trip to genting planned...had to cancel it cos I needed to be in K.L on monday...damn...so sorry guys..especially to Lik...didnt manage to bring u anywher....haiz...
back to the visa thingy...ya the appeal letter stated it was gonna take one month at least to process the appeal...and I thought: oh no...I might not be able to make it to the UK...and through out the weekend I was like worrying...playing the different scenarios that might happen at the UK high comission on monday:"they might overturn the decision then and grant a visa..yeah" or "no...its gonna be complicated..and it gonna take a month and I'm screwed" etc. etc...basically just worrying and not having enough faith in God that things will work out..
Then today I rang the british high commision to talk to someone...and I manage to get in touch with Miss Chong...a lady in charge of the appeals..and I just pleaded my case to her..saying I gotta get this visa really quick and I've attached additional back up documents etc. etc...and I was half expecting she was just gonna be like the other people I talked to:"er sorry sir..we cant do much...you can try lodging an application again which cost another RM535 but might be quicker than appealling bla bla bla...". BUT..THANK GOD!!SHE WAS SUPER HELPFUL AND NICE!!!...she sounded really nice and patient and ask me when I was leaving...and said she will let the clearance officer reveal my application asap....and talking about asap....i thought ya maybe I'll get a ring end of the week...but when I got home...she gave me a ring and said that I can collect my passport on wednesday and the visa's been approved!!!yeepee!!!Once I heard the news i was thanking God, amazed at how He works, how He answers prayers if you A.S.K (Ask,Seek,Knock) and how foolish I was for lacking in faith.
oh ya..really wanna thank dad for allowing me to "borrow" his site office and staff to photocopy and print my appeal documents and mum for driving me to the British High Comm and for the nice Dim Sum afterwards...kakaka...and of course thank heaps for all the prayers from you guys..really appreciate it!!!
Wah long post again....I didn't really cut the long story short did I??....sorry ya its a bit tedious to read..my England..I mean english..no good la...kakaka...
alrighty hav a great CNY ya!! get many ang paus...kakaka..jkjk...really be safe and enjoy time wif family and friends ya..
