In Kota Kinabalu Again, and I’m almost an Illegal Immigrant ><
By Leighton | March 15, 2009
Well, another week has come and gone and Sharon and I are that much closer to coming back to the USA. We really can’t wait, and we are crossing our fingers and praying that all will go well with the interview. If any of you who read this want to help, please pray that we will be able to pass the interview and get the Visa with no problem. You may think that the previous sentence is somewhat haughty since I assume people actually read my blog, but the truth is that I have this power. I can tell whenever someone reads my blog. For example, I know that YOU are reading THIS right NOW. Was I right? I know I was. Hehe. Plus I have my stats that show me who visits (I have your IP addresses – BEWARE!) haha.
Anyways, Sharon and I are in Kota Kinabalu again. We flew in from Miri this morning. We have to come so that Sharon can get her Medical Checkup and since there aren’t any approved doctors in Miri we had to fly to KK. On the way to the airport I was looking at my passport and discovered that I had only been given 1 month last time I got my passport stamped. I had just assumed that I would get 3 months since I always had in the past. I got my passport stamped last when I came back to Malaysia from Brunei on February 14th. Luckily February was a short month so my 30 days isn’t up until March 16th (tomorrow) ><. So I was able to come here fine but the immigration officers looked skeptically at my passport before stamping it. My options are running out now since I only have one day to get my Visa taken care of. I have 3 options: Fly to the Philippines, Fly to Brunei, or get my visa extended at the Immigration Office. I will try the extension first, but depending on how much it costs (or even if they will do it) it may be cheaper/easier to just leave the country then come right back. We’ll see how it turns out… I’ve always wanted to go to Manila >.> Haha
Speaking of my passport, I am running out of space! I only have two more squares for people to stamp, which may be gone after tomorrow. I will have to get additional pages put in when we go to the American Embassy in Kuala Lumpur. Especially since my passport doesn’t expire until 2015.
Depending on the blood tests, we may have to stay here in KK for 4-5 days, but we’re hoping we can get the results back before then. Hopefully Sharon doesn’t have anything bad, like HIV or some other STD >< 
. But I’m sure she’s just fine 
We slept most of the day today, which for me is odd, since I don’t usually take naps (Sharon takes naps often though). We watched the Office season 1 and had a good laugh. We also got all caught up on Heroes and Criminal Minds. We may be a bit behind on Gossip Girl, but we’ll get that fixed soon I bet.
Nikki Yoder, one of our good friends, made us some really nice Wedding Invitations. If you are one of those lucky enough to receive one (insert evil laugh here*), you will see what I mean. She has been really helpful in many other things too, giving us valuable tips and pointing us in the right direction as we are preparing for our reception and wedding. If you’re reading this Nikki, let me just say, thanks a million!
