Extreme Paperwork

It’s an ordeal this time. I’m sure everyone has experienced the hassle of paperwork at any government departments. I know that and I detest it so much that I’m beginning to be frightened by it. The long queues in the wee hours of the morning, the rigid guidelines, the unfriendly staff and everything you name it, I have been there and done that.

 

Well, my point is not emphasising the weaknesses of the public services. It’s about my situation. I’m currently dealing with the renewal of my French carte de séjour and soon, the renewal of my Malaysian passport and in about a month’s time, my Singapore PR Re-Entry Permit. All is happening at the same time but with different governments.

 

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear….it’s stressful just thinking about them!

 

 

Weather and boots

It was snowing in Paris today and I was a little surprised. I haven’t seen snow in a big city until today. Luckily the snow didn’t stick around for too long. The melted away as soon as it hits the ground, which might be a good thing after all. Though I didn’t have my boots on, my feet remained dry throughout the walks. I learned that boots do not necessarily keep my feet warm and dry unless it has good thick soles. You could wear any shoes with a good sole, with a pair of leg warmers, and it would just make your day in a gloomy weather.
