ARGH!!! Just got in to office not too long ago. Spent almost 4 hours at the Singapore Immigration; 4 hours that I’ll never see again in my entire life, gone down the drain.
BUT… It was for a good cause; I think. Went down to finalise my PR matters today. They make you wait for your queue number 5 times just to settle everything. First time to submit your approval letter so they can search for your file. Second time to submit the rest of the paperwork. Third time to pay for the entry and re-entry permit. Fourth time to register for IC. Fifth time to collect back your passport. And next week, have to wait one more time to collect the IC. I seriously think that this entire process can be streamlined, but hey, who am I to complain? Hahaha…
So yes, now I’m a Singapore Permanent Resident, complete with an IC number (IC only come next week). My advice to those who are still waiting to collect, either take the whole day off, or take the afternoon off. Cuz you won’t feel like doing work after they put you through 4 hours of waiting !!!
As as result of 4 hours of waiting this morning, I now have to come in on Saturday to cover up the 4 or so hours of work I missed this morning. Argh… That means waking up early on Saturday. Thought I could sleep in a bit cuz this week still no Children’s Church. Oh well, think God planned it in such a way.
Okay… Time to buckle down and try to get some work done, no matter how sleepy I am. Which, by the way, I am very sleepy actually… Cheers…. :Þ
