  • 15th Sept 2022 – An Update

    Quit the job 2 days back. It’s been a short, 4 months with the company. Days went by relatively uneventful, still, I’m glad to at least have a place to be and things to do to pass all that time. Two weeks before I leave for London. This is the time for me to meet…

  • 16th August 2022 – An Update

    After 6 months of waiting, I’ve finally received my visa. Took the day off to collect my passport yesterday, but I wasn’t expecting to receive it though, since RuiRui was telling me I’m supposed to receive a letter which states whether or not my visa has been approved or not and I haven’t receive such…

  • 04th Aug 2022 – An Update

    UK Decision Making Centre contacted me recently, in regards to my VISA application. They wanted me to send some documents and future proof of my relationship with RuiRui. That’s good since that means that they’ve received my application and it’s currently in consideration. I spent a good part of last week consolidating several selected pictures…

  • 06th June 2022 – An Update

    How’s it hanging? Since 18th April, I’ve managed to find myself something (a job) to keep myself busy as I continue my seemingly endless wait for my VISA approval. It’s not too bad, this current arrangement. I stay busy, my mind stimulated and I get paid for my time. On top of that, it’s a…

  • 07th April 2022 – A Rant and Update

    Sup? These days are testing times for me, mentally. I would love to talk about it but there’s only so much I can talk to my friends or loved ones without sounding like a broken recorder and I also understand that there’s really nothing much they can do for me except to listen or spend…

  • 25th Feb 2022 – An Update

    At the moment, I’m waiting for my UK Spouse Visa to be approved. The gentleman, who assisted me in processing my application, informed me that I’ve got to wait “60 working days” for the result. The husband of a good friend of RUI RUI was in the same situation as me, a few years back…

  • Happy 2022!

    It’s been a while since my last entry. We are 11 days into 2022. Things will be very different. I will be heading over to London to join up with my wife, Rui Rui. I’m aiming to fly over sometime in the middle of February. For the whole of this month, I’ll be preparing for…

  • 9 unchained days

    It’s been 9 days since I’ve been a “self-employed” man. How do I feel? No Gym for Now. Let’s see. First and foremost, I wanted to “hit the gym” in the morning. It was one of the daily tasks I’ve given myself for a sense of routine and direction towards my personal goals. Since I’ll…

  • Long Distance relationship

    I have another 3 more working days, after today, left with my current job. I’m not leaving unprepared; I’ve got my plans all laid out before me. I’m equally excited and uncertain with my next phase in life. I’ve not seen my (legal-er) wife, Constant Companion RR, since February of 2020 since the pandemic started…

  • The biggest issue with being self-employed

    From yesterday onwards, I’m serving my one month’s notice from my work. My last day with the company should be on 8th of May and from that point on, I’m self-employed (aka unemployed). After being an employee for so many years, drawing a monthly salary, it gets a little scary without that sense of security.…
