WTH...

My day just did not start out with a nice tone.
I came back from work and had to rush to embassy to do my visa. I fixed the appointment at 9.45am and I was there at 9.30am. As I went in, the security guard told me to switch off my phone. Then after the security screening, they kept my phone. When I went into the building, it was filled with people. I took a number and waited for my number to be called. I submitted my documents and the lady at the counter handed me a piece of paper and asked me to," Read the instructions." So I asked," And what's next?" She retorted back," Read the instructions!" Fine. And so I read and followed the instructions. Do you know that the queue handling the payment was so long that it was all over the place? Some people had got a seat while they queue. And they moved from seat to seat. And only 1 counter to handle so many. After payment, we had to wait again. This time, it was for the officer to "interview" applicants. People had all sorts of reasons - to study, for business, husband is there, etc. I heard one, "I wanna go there to learn their culture. Blah blah.. I wanna make new friends. Blah blah..." I was laughing in my heart.
My reason - simple: my job requires me to go there. haha.. I fought hard to hold back my tongue... Why do they have to make us go through all this trouble? Waste our time. Furthermore, everytime we are there, it is only for 3-4 days.
When my gf went to do her visa some time ago, the fire alarm went off. All the staff behind the counters evacuated. So my gf asked the security guard if the people who were waiting need to evacuate as well. He said no. After awhile, the staff came back. An announcement was made that the fire had been put out. So there was an actual fire. However, only the staff evacuated. Others need not. It did not make sense. Even if it was a drill, the more they should evacuate everyone. What's the morale of this? Their people are worth saving but not others. Sick!
I left the place at 11.45am.
I took a bus back. When we reached Orchard, the bus driver actually came to help a family with a wheelchair to get off the bus. I am proud of the bus driver. :) This incident brighten up my day alittle.
Then I called my client to cancel her appointment. I can only make it at a later time, if not then we will have to do it tomorrow. She slammed the phone at me. B**ch!
It is only 1.15pm and so much had happened. I better go shower and get some sleep. PMSing...
