US Visa Approved! Luggage Bought!

Went to the US embassy this morning to settle my Visa. Suprisingly, the staff were extremely efficient and professional. However, the following items in my bag were detained at the security counter.

1) A stapler
2) A computer mouse
3) A camera
4) A handphone.

But overall, it was a quick and efficient process!

Next, I went to get my luggage. I walked Tangs, Lucky Plaza, John Littles, Isetan and Metro... And finally decided on this baby from Tangs!


Confirmed my flight for the 8th, then received news from Merrill that I got selected to attend Superday... which had to fall on the 8th of all days.

Scrambling to see what I can do now.. urgh!

Preparations for Exchange (1)

The clock heading towards exchange keeps ticking, and each day I'm crossing out days before the 8th of January.

Spent the whole of yesterday shopping for clothes in Vivocity but I didn't find much. Only a shirt and a pullover!

Today I bought a huge pile of toiletries from Watsons which should last me for the 4 months that I will be in LA.

Also bought a new sweater, which was pretty nice!! Seems like the expenditure has started even before the flight!

Happy holidays everybody!
