Song of the day
September 21, 2006
This is a great song. I knew there was a reason why I like Pink from the very begining.
Come take a walk with me
Let’s pretend we’re just two people and
You’re not better than me
I’d like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
Are you proud
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
And tell me why
Were you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
Are you a lonely boy
How can you say
No child is left behind
We’re not dumb and we’re not blind
They’re all sitting in your cells
While you pay the road to hell
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
You’ve come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
How do you walk with your head held high
Can you even look me in the eye
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
Let me tell you bout hard work
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Let me tell you bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
You don’t know nothing bout hard work
Hard work
Hard work
Oh
How do you walk with your head held high
Dear Mr. President
You’d never take a walk with me
Would you
I’m back

The interview wasn’t exactly what I expected though. I expected being interviewed in a room, away from everyone else. Turns out it’s just an officer over the counter asking you questions on your intentions of visiting the US and what you do blah blah blah. Just very trivial things to be honest.
I was almost late for the interview because the stupid plane to KL was delayed due to ignorance of the construction workers who were doing the rennovation at the airport. They left some junk on the runway!!! How stupid is that???
So by the time I got to KLIA, the earliest transit train to Bandar Tasik Selatan was in 30 minutes! I was SO nervous at that point. By the time I got to Bandar Tasik Selatan station where I was meeting my cousin who was going to drive me and my mom to the embassy, it was already 8.55am!! My interview was scheduled at 9.20am.
Surprise surprise, on the way to the embassy there was TRAFFIC JAM!!!!! Inside my head I was going “OMG OMG OMG OMG WE ARE GOIN TO BE LATE!!!!!”
Fortunately, we reached the front gate of the embassy at EXACTLY 9.20 and the security guard let us in. WHEW. That was SO close.
The visa is good til 2016. =D We haven’t decided exactly decided when to head to the US though but would love to attend cousin’s wedding ceremony in New York on October 1st. I’m looking at leaving on the 28th and coming back 20th October but nothing is written on paper yet as it depends on availability and flight schedules. I really wanna go see my Robbie!!!! It’s been WAY too long. We need to SNUGGLE!
Back to the visa story, we had to wait for an hour before it was our turn. When that was done, my mom and I walked to KLCC and did some turbo shopping before taking the LRT to KL Central to catch the KLIA Transit back to the airport to come back home. I didn’t bring my digital camera with me because it’s not allowed in the embassy but thank God for camera phones! =D Not too good of a quality but at least I caught a nice shot of the Twin Towers, don’t you think so?
