Oh God, I´m sorry. What a shitty situation :((
German bureaucracy can be the worst, seriously. And they are so slow sometimes its not even funny. My Mother ( who is a Socialworker here and has to deal with this stuff on a daily basis ) also complains a lot.

I hope you have a good support behind you back !!

I like the developement in your recent work, much more variety and a good balance between saturated and desaturated color. Also sweet pose on the violin player, though I have no idea who he is ;(

don't be sorry it's not your fault ^_^ appreciate the thought though. yeah i was kind of worried it might take long TVT hopefully this time it'll work out sooner.

thanks for the support TVT >v<

the violinist is edvin marton who collabs with plushenko on performances ^_^ i think they're good buddies? OvO

Oh my god, Mary. Seriously, I want to say "only you," but then again, I know full well how shitty the whole visa/immigration/permit thing is. Lost in translation indeed >: Find someone who can identify the right forms next time?

I'm really sorry to hear about your missed trip to France, though. That really sucks, especially since you paid for everything already >:

Any idea when you'll hear of a decision or have a date to plea/argue your case? And you now have your permit... but they've got a ban on you now? God, so complicated. It's one of the reasons I want to go back to Asia after graduation - just so I don't have to deal with immigration forms/work permits to stay in Canada!

I guess Germany's system is better for the social system as a whole (good for the community since no one can cut corners), whereas China's system is good for the individuals who have connections, since, you know, it gets you places. But prob. not so good for the community as a whole.

Oh my god, Mary. Seriously<-- many ppl have been giving me this reaction lately XDDDDDD

yes only me orz it's just like the time i realized my visa expired when i was in china, only that time i was in time to go renew it in HK. technically on a canadian passport even if i go "back" to asia i'd still have to deal with annoying visa crap =v=

yes the france part was the saddest part TVT

i'm waiting for the lawyer to call me and tell me if and what charges the immigration office is pressing.

the thing is in china everyone has some connection or another wwwww it's confusing but everyone has their convenient side. unless of course you're like me, whose only friends are in the anime circle =v=

i'll keep u guys updated on this whole thing XDDD

*pokes* hope you had a great Easter, at the very least? I ended up going to Harrison's and playing a million rounds of mahjong!

Let us know how things go, eh?

I haven't seen you online lately. Will be on a trip Monday - Wednesday, exam on Thursday and next Monday, but after that... I guess I'm done with university. It is such a weird weird weird feeling...

So your stuff is still stashed under my bed, what do you want me to do? One of these days I will make a list of all the stuff still hiding there..
