Been up and down a roller coaster. Yet time stood still.
If none of you have known, I am still holding a Bridging Visa. It’s a cross between applying for a spouse visa during your tourist visa (not allowed to work) and getting a temporary permanent residence. My officer in the Aus immigration has been expecting my final document to submit in (it’s my police clearance) since Jan 22nd. Though my stepmom screwed up in getting my police clearance (she gave me false hopes from telling me -It will be done after cny to after F1 to after the elections till a few days ago she said,”BN lost the election, I lost my contacts and I can’t do it”).. I became speechless. Good thing is, my mom is gonna speed things up for me. She made a few phone calls and found out that she can get my paper within a day. All I need to do is to go to M’sian Embassy, meet with the high consul and get his signature. Which I did on last Tues. I also helped my father-in-law with his paperworks. I’ve already posted the documents to my mom which she should be receiving by Mon to hand over to Wisma Putra. *Eva sighed in relief*
Though we’ve moved all our things from a bachelor’s pet near the city to a slightly nicer place far up north that doesn’t have public transport convenience nor any petrol stations nearby.. I in person have not done anything differently other than my everyday routine. Sad to express this but I have been locked up in a cage (I’m implying my house) for six months now. I rely solely on my husband to take me out. That’s only on his non-working day (mon and sun). Even a short trip to the chinese shop would make me happy.
I have been doing shoppings ..No, not the malls here sucks. Most products are from china and they charge a bomb! As I was saying, I shop online. My laptop is my bestfriend. My 15″ white Toshiba feeds me with daily gossips, songs from billboard.com and things I need to furnish the house. I’ve ordered two black chandeliers from Melbourne, two rugs from Sydney, astonishing oil paintings directly from China and two ridiculously gorgeous waterfall basin taps which I bought impulsively and not knowing what to do with it. All I need for now is a water feature. Still hunting.
The house still looks kinda empty to me, except for the mess I make. We’re slowly converting the garden. We planned to remove all the horrible looking plants (currently, the front lawn looks like a padi field, weird looking grass that has a scientific name planted everywhere. it’s sharp,pokes and looks cheap. I have no idea what the man who built this house was thinking.) and turn it into a zen-like place. Over the weekend, we dug out a small area in the entrance, planted a medium sized white frangipani and a few cute looking mondo grass and placed my sitting buddha that’s approximately 76cm (height) -70cm (width) by it’s side. We also decorated white riverstones around to cover the soil. It looks like a big improvement to me. Soon, the front will look attractive when it’s all covered with white riverstones. I’m dead sure it will brighten the whole area. It’s gonna be soo chic!
I miss home. I’ve never been away this long.. it feels funny.
