woke up at 430am..
I was sick last night.. sad right
hmm then we (xz & moon) went to the place at 645am..
wah.. the queue is like 100m long oredi..
so it was like queue for 1 hr to get the first queue number..
then use the first queue number to queue for the security check..

wah lau.. the security check is like mad lol.. u even haf to take off ur shoes n belt..
then queue to submit the DS-156 DS-157,158 and other forms..
after tt take another queue number..
and queue AGAIN.. for the interview..

okie.. the visa officer (vo) for my queue is mad lah..

basicaly he rejected everyone b4 me..

there was one guy applyg F1 visa infront of me..
gg to Grinell on 50% financial aid..

vo: Can you explain to me why 90% of the Chinese students nv come back after their study in the US?
the guy: erm..
vo: u r rejected..

then there is another guy.. gg to Yale for postgrat..
.........
vo: I dun want to see this.. this.. and this.. (throwing out materials.)
(writing white slip.. rejected..)

then my turn..
vo: What is a JC?
xz: Junior College
vo: is a JC same as a high school in US?
xz: yes..
vo: then why did u attend Dunman High School?
xz: cos Dunman High is a secondary school.. it's like grade 7 to 10 in US..
...
vo: how long do u want to spend in umich?
xz: 3 yrs..
vo: can u finish?
xz: yes.. bcos i am awarded 34 credits oredi..
vo: 34.. tt's a lot.. why?
xz: the admission officer decided to offer tt..
.......

then the interesting part came..
vo: so who will be payg for ur study?
xz: my parents..
vo: can i see ur financial supporting documents?
xz: sure..

i showed him the bank statements n the passbooks lah..
but the idiot lol.. doesnt even know the bank statement got many pages lah..
the first page only got abt 160000..
then he said.. not enough money what..
so.. xz is powerful lah..
i grabbed the bank statement..
wave the one whole stack of paper and screamed.. "cant u see it has many pages? cant u do simple maths?"
then I sort of went crazy..
hehe vo was sort of shocked lah..
then i got the green slip..
tt means.. PASS..

hehe..
after tt i found out he rejected almost all F1 visa applicants today except for me..
so i am super super lucky..
maybe bcos i was the only one who dare to screamed at the vo?
who knows?

well sorry moon..

People have asked me why my name is so damn bloody hard to pronounce, I would say it's not my problem. Just in case anyone who is interested to find out what the name actually means, here it is:

萱 pronounces as xuan, is the flower called daylily pictured above;

仲 pronounces as zhong, means I am the second child in the family

弦弦诉人意,弓弓道世情

可以高贵,可以平凡
可以不问英雄出处
可以痴情风流的二胡
一弦可以大江东去
一弦可以月游西湖
一曲未了竟有琴弦启开江南
让俏丽的姑娘
用浓浓的茉莉花语
从红袖里伸出酥手
把一个河山香透

My Erhu, My Forever Love
