Its my
second last day of work today. I am sooo looking forward to tomorrow cos after that I can finally slack freely, not that I haven’t been slacking for the past 2 weeks but slacking in front of your boss is much more restricted and I sorta feel paiseh being such a slacker in front of him. Hope this does not taint the impression of SMU students that he has, anyway its not my fault that he has no work to give me rite?
Anyway, the aim of this post is to make up for the earlier angsty and bitchy post about my boss. Looking back, I was too hard on him lah. He is in fact a really nice boss cos he is not demanding and has no mood swings. Not a perv either haha even tho he does look like one. He is also quite concerned about my exchange preparations and often asks of the progress of it. He even offered to speak to his brother for me if I had problems dealing with the French embassy and my partner uni in France since his brother studied in france for 6 yrs and can speak French rather fluently. And today when Ying called me saying that she had received the housing confirmations and asked me to go down asap to get them so that I can proceed with my visa application, he allowed me to go without any hesitation. And I am really grateful for that so I guess instead of complaining about the small little things that he does that irk me, I should thank God for giving me such a nice and understanding boss. This slack internship was also a blessing in disguise since I managed to get a lot of my exchange work done while slacking and pretending to be bz at work. Managed to put together a decent traveling itinerary, book hostels online, print put hostel confirmations and bank statements and photocopy my IC and matric card etc. If I was slacking at home, I would probably not have been so motivated and efficient since I would probably be sleeping or watching TV most of the time. So yah, I guess God does work in different ways and He probably knew that I needed time to settle all this stuff if not kan cheong me will panic and worry all day long thus the reason for the understanding boss and the slack internship. So yah think I shall go buy a nice box of chocolates and a card for my boss to thank him. See I am not so mean after all rite?
I can breathe a sigh of relief now that I have got my housing confirmations. After nights of worrying and countless emails, I am finally able to go ahead with my visa application. I had given up hope on my host uni, they are really inefficient and slow and something always goes wrong to impede the progress of their course selections or accommodation confirmations..eg. guy in charge of housing was hospitalized, system for course selection and housing confirmation got cocked up, Bastille day so long holiday needed and the last straw the person in charge of the Exchange office decided to go on a long holiday and will not be back till like 3rd Aug! I wanted to cry and faint after reading her mail man..so yah the fact that we finally got our confirmations is indeed a miracle. If not Meijun and me will probably end up as illegal immigrants in France since Meijun is leaving on the 2nd and me on the 7th and the visa takes 5 working days to process, you do the math, we have
no time! Anyway, hope that the embassy will accept all our documents come this Wed, if not we will really have no time. And the French are supa supa ngeow and rude. Compared to Meiting and Xiaolu, we need to supply like 10 times more documents.. =( so yah hope that they will be nice to us on that day and do not think we look like criminals if not we have to go to the Police HQ and get some proof of non-criminal record..bleah
Got my new camera yesterday! Had to charge it so could not try it out. But will definitely be playing around with my new toy soon so expect to see lots of pics here soon!
