Otherwise would have one month after my last working day.

not feeling all that bright!
just wasted 2 hours to get my new employment pass only to find that I couldnt get mine done today because it would mean the Mrs wouldnt be allowed back into Singapore on the 24th. so have to wait till she is back.

it takes a few days to be honest with you, then you get angry, then you are over it and you move on. Can the Mrs not come back sooner or does that involve the right carry on with the Airline saga again?

shes waiting for her new passport. She should get it on Friday. Then the first available flight is 23rd (getting here 12.30am 25th). so she wont be back any sooner.

had bought a bookcase and paintings for the apartrment whilst she was away as a surprise to make the place more like home. Guess that has back fired now.

and for us moving on is ging to involve a lot of stress getting a visa.
no wonder I hvnt eaten for 24 hrs (guess I an afford more than most to skip a meal)

How about flying to her place and surprise her? Have you been there yet? Maybe the two of you could start up a business there? At least you would have family support around you. Just an idea.

Same with mine. Living in Kenya doesn't seem to be an option but I would love it.

Sorry to hear this. I'm just back from Sing (for a wedding) and the mood was pretty glum all round. Three of my friends laid off.

Good luck finding something...
