Visa Interview - My Experience...

Woke up slightly earlier today coz I have to take public transport tu US Embassy in KL. Took Komuter to KL Central and Putra to Ampang Park. Took a taxi and tadaa... I'm at the front gate of US Embassy.. Tapi mek kura2 ni jakun sikit.. Pi tanya drebar teksi tu.. Betul ke ni US Embassy? Hikss.. Pakcik tu pun jawab.. "Amerika kan? Ni la tempat orang amik visa tu.. Tu nampak tak, panjang orang beratur tu.." Hikss...

So, I immediately queue up with the rest of others and meet this cute guy. Hehehe... Aku pun tanpa segan silu beramah mesra la ngan mamat itu.. maklumla..

"Nak gi sambung study ke?" (Aku tanya dgn senyuman paling menawan sekali)
"Ye"
"US kat mane?"
"Kat Texas.." (Dalam banyak2 tempat kat US, mamat ni nak g Texas? Tempat yang panas itew..)
"Akak?" (Akak? Dia panggil aku akak? Adakah aku tak nampak seperti undergrad? Why? Why?)
"Saya gi Missouri..PhD ke? Dari University ye?
"Ha ah.. .. University.. Akak?" (Another University's PhD taker with I believe have no job experience.. Haksss..)
"Ye.. Saya sambung master je.. Dah tua2 ni baru nak sambung belajar" (I end the conversation nicely.. He doesn't look that cute anyway.. He looks totally normal and average..)

After some time.. Sampai la giliran aku.. I have to leave my hand phone, ipod, camera and car keys behind.. I also have to drink (only some) of the water I carried. They afraid that was the fluid bomb or chemical poison or whatever.. I have to drink it to prove, it was indeed.. only a water...

I met this nice lady inside who are going to US for a meeting in Chicago.. I have a words vomit syndrome due to the too long waiting for my turns.. Too much info expose from my side.. Hahaha.. But no worry coz it will never be in the tabloid anywhere.. Haksss.. Furthermore, words vomit is a drug for boringness.. It cured it for some level.. Haksss..

My long waiting come to the end and finally it's my turn for the interview.. (The interview is open where, if you speak loud enough.. The whole room can here you)

"Hello, good morning"
"Good morning.." (Tell you, this guy is cute..)
"Why you want to go to US?"
"To further my study in Master program" (Thank you I can make a proper sentence..)
"What program you'll be taken?"
"Electrical Engineering"
"What is your undergraduate study?"
"Electrical & Electronic Engineering at University Science of Malaysia" (I'm doing good I think.. Hikss)
"You work with the government?"
"Yes.. "
"Tell me about your work and your research"
"Bla bla bla..." (He wrote something about what I'm doing.. whatever...)
"Who will sponsor your study?"
"The Government"
"What type of scholarship?"
"Errr.. Wait let me read... errr.. Scholarship by the government?" (What kind of question is this?)
"What is the name of it?" (Wah.. soklan cepu emas ke ni?)
"Err.. let me read the letter.. hmm.. Err.. Do you want to see my letter of financial affidavit?" (I'm blank.. HELP!)
"You know.. like the younger people.. JPA, MARA etc.."
"Oh.. Yes, JPA.. just like them.. same.. same.. only this is for a Master program" (YOUNGER??? You mean I'm OLD???.. Suddenly, you are just another average Joe)
"Ok.. you are done.. have a nice day and you can collect your visa on Monday after 3p.m"
"Thank you average Joe"

Finito! Yay! Finally.. Walking back to Ampang Park's Putra Station to KL Central.. Have lunch and back to the office.. Lalalala..

Tapi Purp and Shelly tgh plan nak tengok citer tajuk lucah.. Hikss.. Saya nak join la.. kalau tidak nanti saya sedeh lagi.. Tengok citer tajuk lucah ni best jugak rasanya... Jangan salah paham tau.. citer ni "U" = UMUM.. Tak tau la nape tajuknya begitu.. Ataupun aku yang bengong.. HAHAHA..

Oh.. Aku meroyan lagi nampak gayanya.. Ni mesti sebab aku sedeh.. Huhuhu.. Sian kat aku.. Purp kata tak tau lagi nak tgk citer tu hari ni ke esok.. sebabnya kena confirm ngan Shelly dulu.. Huhuhu.. Aku sedeh...

US Embassy Appointment... & Ramblings...

Yay! Akhirnya aku dah buat appointment utk gi US Visa Interview.. Slow betul aku ni.. kekawan aku yg seangkatan mostly dah gi dah.. Ada yang dah selesai pun.. tinggal nak terbang je tapi aku ni mek kura2 sikit.. hiksss...

Interview Appointment Date: 11-Jul-2008

So, rasa nervous la jugak sikit2.. Hehehe.. Sat gi aku tersengih2 kat embassy tu kang nampak tak serius lak kan.. hikss.. Rasanya semua dokumen dah shiap.. Yang tinggal nak confirmkan location je.. Ada kata kat bangunan MCA.. Dalam web pun kata Visa kat bangunan MCA tapi kat surat confirmation ni kata kat US Embassy - Malaysia, Jalan Tun Razak.. Isk isk isk.. Kena tanya San ni, dia wat kat mana hari tu..

Okla.. Sebenarnya semenjak Sasha takde ni, aku macam malas memblog.. Pastu sekarang ni sibuk ngan umah baru lak.. my bro pulak baru register UiTM Sabtu hari tu.. Pastu Sabtu malam my older bro buat kenduri kekah anak2 dia.. Sungguh sibuk jadual aku kan.. Hehehe... Now my parents ada kat umah aku.. Lepak-lepak.. Sian diorang sebab aku gi keje.. Tapi yang bestnya tgh hari ni balik umah sebab mak masak.. Yay!!! Hahaha.. I suka.. I suka... Esok diorang balik la plak.. Sedih.. Huhuhu..

Okla.. Rasa cam dah meroyan dah sikit.. Tadi membaca review catz yang masih lagi jiwang ngan filem Sepi tu.. Cakap hanya org yang tengok je dapat paham.. Huhuhu.. Jiwang!!! Mood aku sekarang ni tidak sesuai untuk berjiwang jadi aku tak tgk la kot citer tu.. Opss.. bukan jiwang kata catz.. Realiti.. Realiti nangis2.. Huhuhu.. Even jantan macho pun nangis katanya.. Adakah hubbynya yang dimaksudkan itu??? Hiksss..

No More La La Land...

Aku sungguh busy sekali.. First of all, of course la pasal rumah baru yang memerlukan perhatian aku kan.. Tapi aku juga sungguh malas sekali.. So, bila busy + malas = tension...

Kerjaya baru aku:

1. Aku jadi plumber.. Aku sekarang dah pandai jadi tukang paip.. Hahaha.. Sebabnya aku baru je tukar kepala paip aku untuk mesin basuh aku..

2. Aku jadi bibik.. Hehehe.. Mula2 dulu aku upah Indon kemas baju2 aku pastu aku rasa cam tak berbaloi sebabnya aku kena amik dia jauh pastu aku pun tak sure mana nak kemas, mana nak buang, mana nak simpan.. So, jadi la bibik untuk diri sendiri

3. Aku jadi administrative officer.. Dalam dua, tiga hari ni aku dok sibuk mengexplore beberapa website untuk dapatkan maklumat.. Aku cari best price motel kat missouri (pastu check google map lak utk pastikan it's a good location), pastu aku duk kaji website bandar columbia untuk memastikan samaada aku boleh bayar letrik, air dan sewer secara online, pastu aku dok sibuk menguruskan + membayar visa process.. (Ni siap menyumpah2 maybank customer care yang kurang care kat aku pagi tadi) dan lain2 process documentation..

Aku sebenarnya physically and mentally exhausted.. Aku duk pk pro and contra pegi awal ke us.. Pastu duk pikir camne aku nak duk umah sorang2 lagi.. Abby outstation and Shelly dah tak larat nak tido umah aku..

Aku no more in la la land.. What happen to David Cook now? I absolutely have no idea..
