Garden of Eden

I’ve a slight confession to make. I needed the eCOE number of enrolment for me to proceed into the visa application, which is why I was understandably frustrated having not received mine after nearly 2 weeks. I even emailed and called them to enquire what went wrong, why take so freaking long one! On one morning where I was that close to snapping, I found THE mail that I’ve been waiting for all this while sitting right under my nose since 4th December...omg so pai seh. But technically not my fault, who ask those officers of administration to be so stupid and not send the mail to the address I gave them. I believe I wrote extra clearly edlee.goe@gmail.com but they were so smart, TOO smart to send it to my Monash account. That thing which I ever hardly use at all, like so wtf right. What's the point of asking me to provide the mail in which would be used for all the online procedures when it's not going to be used, sheesh.

At least things didn’t turn out that bad after that, was pretty smooth sailing except for some occasional health questions which were unnecessary and vague at best. For example, have you ever had breathlessness etc? I’m sure at one point of anyone’s life they would experience shortness in breath maybe due to lack of sleep and the fact that you just ran up and down the school stairs to do errands. Maybe it’s just me being in a foul mood to get annoyed by these seemingly like-durh-of-coz-no questions, but I still declared myself super healthy anyways.

Unfortunately, even then I still had to go for a basic medical check up in which I did today. I would say it’s probably the most expensive hour I have recollection of because at the centre, all the employees treat you like their king. This way please, Mr.Lee. Please have a seat, Mr.Lee. That’s an excellent picture, Mr.Lee. Thats some serious ass kissing over there(!). But the best part would probably be Dr. Ong, who concluded the entire visit there. This hair thinning 50-something uncle is the bomb la. Unlike those stereotyped perception of some serious cocky or maternal doctor, he is extremely humorous. At one point during his routine, he asked if I smoked or took drugs in which I would probably would have answered the obvious but before I could his response was ‘okay never mind that, I’ll let you go and just give you the all clear (by closing an eye)’ in an extremely sarcastic manner. Farnee.

Say, I’m actually quite tired after all these. And my index fingers hurt after replacing that ko-ed CPU power box. Time to rest, continuation soon!
