and i can be so dumb!

as i waited patiently for the contract for my job, i did a little research of mine to see if i can change my visa status after 12 months in UK. Based on a point system, i can be eligible if i meet the point system. So i did a little calculation on my own and realised with the pay i will be getting, i fall short by a little. or so i thot.

i am not sure why i even think for me to qualify, i would only need 1k per annum more. so i plucked up my courage to have a chat with the HR again and suggested to her if it was possible to revise it. She told me to send in a justification of my request.

so i went back to the website and did my research and finding and realised to my horror i told the lady the wrong thing! I needed an extra 4k per annum to qualify for it! i felt like such a liar and greedy person to ask for more and more...

anyway, 我硬着头皮, and did up a justification for my reason for pay adjustment and apologising like mad for the wrong info which i gave the HR.

anyhow, the HR was really really nice and replied that she will bring this up with her boss and the MD. Taking into consideration that the jump is significant, it might not happen. But she assured me that when the time comes for the visa application, she is pretty sure that they can work something out for me if I wanted to stay longer and if the company wanted me as well.

I think this is really what i needed to know. To know that after 1 year, i can have the choice to continue working in london if I wanted to and the company will try their best to help me get the relevant visa.

But i am leaving this to God. With the pay i will be getting, i am very sure i can make ends meet and even have a little bit of savings at the end of 1 year. Like i have mentioned, i really dunno what is going to happen as i am taking 1 day at a time. I just trust that God is in control all the time. i mean, He led me thus far, He will not leave me in the lurch right?


so i am just going to enjoy the next 1 year and like i have mentioned in my blog earlier...

where the wind blows.... where God leads.....

so people, you have 1 year to come visit me!!

btw, i start work on 30 july! =) monday!
