Apply Visa? Troublesome -.-

As usual before you go to other country you need to apply Visa. For me, I applying Visa to Australia to further my studies as an civil engineer :)


Applying Visa for higher education involve many stages, 1st you must get the Offer letter from the University you applied, easy step right? Noooo!!! You need to wait like freaking long to get, I wait like freaking 4 months wei!! Haiz during the time that you are waiting for your Offer letter you will feel like Hell, the reason? You dunno yourself get accept by the University or not and when your friends ask you where you going to futher you studies. We sure said the University that we are applying but if the University turn out not accepting you, I guess you also know the feeling yourself :) Still got a lot of things to think about during this period like Fees, Accomodation, whether you can adept to living there and much more.



After getting Offer letter you need to mail the correct amount of deposit and insurances to the University that accepted you. When they receive that payment they you mail you a Letter of Comfirmation. Letter of Comfirmation if a letter that comfirm you are coming to Australia to study and you can now apply a student (temporary) Visa :)



After filling in some blanks, you are charge for the Visa about AUD$450. Expensive right? After that you need to print out 2 medical form and go to the nearest panel doctor to comfirm you dun have are deathly virus or disease. Panel Doctor is doctor that comfirm by Australia Imigration Office that will not write fake report like you have 3 hands or whatever.



Ok then I bring my Medical report to a panel doctor. After waiting for like 15 minutes and done some stupid test like: "Read out this number." (The number test is to test whether you are color blind or are you a total retard.). By today I just know I am just 172cm =.= So so short. Haiz even my little brother is much bigger than me already :-( Back to main topic, So the doctor even ask me to take a Urine test, the purpose I am not sure. Finally the doctor test my eye sight, and she have a shock after knowing that my left eye is Lazy Eye that can hardly see the 1st lane of alphabet, doc told me go get a letter of Eye Specialist and X-ray from a Radiologist. Haiz troublesome!!!!



Early in the morning, I go to see the Radiologist and take X-ray of my chest see got any broken bone or any worm inside :) After I registered and wait for like 1 hour while watching movie : "Number 23" that staring Jim Carrey. Oh, I forget the meantion that the hospital is very very Cold plus outside also raining. When I entered the X-ray room, I was ask to take off my cloth and OMG that was cold like hell. After positioning me infront of the X-ray machine, a flash was seen and that was it :) Billion and Trillion of cells dead. After I wear my cloth and walk outside of the room, the nurse suddenly come running to me and ask me to take another picture of my chest. I was shock and ask her why? Izzit I got 30 ribs or 3 hearts or whatever, she answer me that the picture taken was not PREETY and need to take another 1. Guess what? I took a total of 3 X-ray to my chest today and I feel sorry for my body cells. Oh ya, I still need to wait for the doctor to write my report and pay for the bills and this whole process take around 2 and a half hours.


X-Ray Machine


Then off I go to find the Eye Specialist. Took around 30 minutes to find the stupid eye clinic. When I enter I saw like 15 Malays inside :( this could take forever and the worker there ask me to go back. "Har? Go Back?" I told them I just need a regular checkup and after 10 minutes of discussing the problem the eye specialist agreed to check on me but after all the surgery is done. Another 1 hours of waiting and guess what? All the Malays are gone :) This is because just a total of 3 surgery is going to be perform today and the clinic plans to close early. Just my luck maybe, when I saw the eye specialist, he quickly notice that my left eye is useless and told me this problem is not fix-able and I was ask to check whether my eye got "Holes" inside that may cause blindness. So he use some yellow liquid and put inside my eye. During that 30 minutes of waiting the medicine to take effect, my eye vision is blurly and I cannot even read the words in near distance. The worse part is yet to come. I was thinking that maybe he use some thingy and poke into my eye to check whether got "Holes" or not, but I come to a relieve because the whole process just involve a helmet and a magnify glass. I was wrong, this process really Sucks, the eye specialist use the magnify glass to aim at my eye balls and use a steam of light to check wheter inside got "Holes" or not. And if I am not mistaken I say out "Oh my God" about 3 times, because the light shoot inside eye balls is not a nice feeling. The whole process take just 2 minutes but the effect of the medicine take around 4 hours and even until now already 8 hours I still hurts a bit when I see direct light :(



After that I need to bring the report from Eye Specialist and X-ray from Radiologist back to the Panel Doctor that will help me mail to Australia :)



Conclusion: TROUBLESOME.
