I tried blogging after the embassy visit with my BlackBerry and I thought I was doing fine except for a few mishaps. Apparently not. The mishaps got published (and subsequently deleted) but the saved blog never showed. Oh well!
So the visa applications got processed. We had some adventures with not having the right change (must be old $10 notes, plastic notes will not do) for the photo taking at the booth in the application section and not having enough money to pay the visa fee. On top of the cashier's order which we had already prepared some days ago.
So everything went smoothly and no awkward questions asked about junior's passport. Whew! Maybe the questions will come when I go collect on Friday. Hope not. Anyway, even if the visa is given for this passport, in 2 years' time, we will have to find a way to renew both passport and visa over there.
And did I mention that the car would not start last evening? Better half and I had dinner with Doris and Bui at a Sin Ming coffeeshop. Had to leave the car in the car park overnight. After the embassy, we went to get the car workshop to bring the car for repair. Long time at the workshop but eventually got it fixed. Battery had finally caved in after 5 years of faithful service. Painful to spend this kind of money so close to selling off the car. New battery seems to have also removed some spinning noises that had been obvious for some time. Weird!
Keeping my fingers crossed for Friday. Next hurdle - medicals for all four of us after collecting the visas. Cheers!
