Oh, on to the good news. It is required of anyone working with the Malaysian Government to get approval in order to travel overseas to ensure their safety. I had experienced some delay with mine but today I got to know that my application has been approved! Yay!!! I had been so worried that I wouldn't be able to get the approval in time.

 Thank you Lina for getting it done so quickly! I heart you even if you're just a voice on the other end of the telephone. Lol.. I would nominate you for an APC anytime.

Anyway, I have been shopping for my trip and have bought some things that I am so, SO excited about. Will be posting some pics on them as soon as I get everything organized. Until the next post (which will be soon.. Lol..). Cheers my dears!
