why doesn't my entry show up? Oh well...just another one of those setbacks in life...what's the dif!
Well well...when one problem gets solved, another gets thrown in my way.
The English test thing is settled, but the mother of all obstacles is firmly rooted to my path: the visa. I can't study there without the visa. I can't go to Germany and get it either. It has to be from here and it has to be issued before I fly off.
The respective authorities whether in Dresden or Singapore have been sending me to hell and back...I'm totally bruised from hitting all the dead ends. I bloody give up! I've called and emailed and faxed and wrote...nothing works. I haven't been sitting around doing nothing about this...but yet the results seem to be the same as if I hadn't done anything at all.
My mum says I've been living in some idyllic world and it's time to wake up and smell the garbage (okay, she didn't say that, but it's what she implied). Some help she is...so maybe it's true, but the line about "Why don't you just stay in Singapore if you can't handle it" felt like a stab to the heart.
Then of course, I can think of many many reasons to stay in Singapore. But you know, it's all in God's hands.
Maybe I'll just be going to Germany for a holiday. I can only wait and see.
