what’s in my bag / flickrversary, originally uploaded by superlocal.
3 suitcases. 60kg.
1 knapsack.
1 camera bag.
1 ladies’ handbag.
I’m not sure I can fit the September issue of Topgear. I heard it’s got a review of the latest Ford RS (300bhp in a 2L engine?!).
I’m going to miss my GHM family. I’ll miss the children I teach […]

LL got up this morning and checked on the VFS website and it said our application was ready to be picked up. We weren’t sure what to expect, but I’m glad we arrived just in time before the visa processing centre closed.
We got […]

I just got two emails in this format below, which I did not before when our visa got rejected. Does this mean that our visas have been approved? We were thinking approvals take longer to process, and so far this round has been a longer waiting period. Let’s hope it’s gone through okay. And let’s […]

I just got done watching Episode 1 of TopGear’s Season 5. It was entertaining, no doubt - it’s got great storytelling, visuals, and of course, cars. But while I was watching it, I couldn’t help but ignore this nagging feeling at the back of my mind that the time spent watching the show wasn’t ever […]

Visa Re-application and farewell
We have resubmitted our application to the British high commission. We scrutinized (scrutinised) our application until we had no practical reason to reject us, but they still might. Fingers crossed, we put it in anyway.
The last time, it took the high commission 3 days to give us a result. “That’s really fast”, […]

Our UK visa application got rejected yesterday, on the grounds of insufficient proof of sponsorship. We made a mistake and misunderstood what the application form was trying to say. I guess it didn’t help that our situation was relatively unique. We should have gone to see the British Council for help from the start. It […]

LL and I are moving to London.
I am attempting to diversify my career into the area of Human-Computer Interaction, which I have grown more fond of over the last few years. So, I’m planning to pursue a HCI-E MSc at University College London for the 2008/09 year, and see […]

I think you’re crazy… Just like me !, originally uploaded by Nas .
They say that learning isn’t like a ramp, but like a step. A leap of faith would be succinct, to put it another way. Because, to be honest, faith isn’t grown, it is learned.
Ever since I started work, something in me has […]

70/365, originally uploaded by hijukal.
One of my biggest problems is my inability to get things done. It’s a psychological problem - I rely on motivation too much. If I could just take a “robot” pill, it would solve all my problems, at least for the meantime - because I have so many things to do […]
