Good night Ladies, Gents and Tuyen.

Hope everyone had a peaceful evening. See there were some good discussions tonight.

Just got in from the party. Was amazing.

Am exhausted.

Night Y'all.....
glad you had fun, Halfmoon! :)

Good morning/afternoon, everyone! Oh what happened? Is Lady Tuyen really banned again?

I gotta say this must be love. Being up in the middle of the night to talk and help someone edit their applications.

I can not wait for not for the 9 hour time difference to be gone! And to be cuddling in sleep instead of sitting in a cold bed with a phone to my ear. :-X
Oh! You applied in November too? :)
Yes...I know...time difference makes it so much harder :(

Ya. seemed to take forever to ensure we had everything we could think of.. and then after we sent it was a lot of thought of what was missing!!

The day I can put my phone away and sleep through the night will be such an expereince! How do you deal with the time difference??? I know I have to keep Mr Malawi in line so I don't fall asleep on him (which he is an expert of by the way) :)

It's difficult for sure! We text a lot during the day, write e-mails, chat, skype/talk when we can. Lately because of work and time difference we haven't been talking that much on the phone and even if we tried the connection's been bad. But texts help a lot, plus you can be at work, gym, out with friends etc and still talk using text messages. I know there are also a lot of useful apps out there, but I'm worried about the limited data thing (haha that was well said :D Sorry, I'm not sure of the correct way of saying that in English)..I mean here we have unlimited interenet on your cellphone for 5€/month but I've understood it's not like that in Canada.

It can be downright tough, Agreed!!! I think most of us here would be in the same boat! Texts do help.

And poor network connections - do not get me started!!!! There are days I would love to give a piece of my mind to those network companies!!!

Haha I'm sorry, what I wrote was more like an answe to "do you guys keep in touch and if you do, how?" ;) My point was that we don't necessarily stay up that much later or get up earlier to talk (because of work), which is why we write e-mails for example when we can, or text all day long so one can have breakfast and the other one can be going home from work and still we can talk.

Oh yeah... we do have good internet connections here and they're quite cheap, but my personal problem is my computer, and well we all know Skype doesn't always work perfectly when there are millions of users talking at the same time :)
One day all this will be just a memory...and I hope that day arrives soon!

I know and I can not wait for that day!!! I think all couples find a rhythm that works for them and maximize their time together. For us we do not have reliable internet connection for him so we decided early on the days when he can find a computer or credit to skype or email we would maximize our time there, but in the mean time its phone calls. Though lately we have been able to chat via What'sApp, which has been awesome. Just need to teach the Mr. about the time difference though! :)

This is very true. The application process seems like such a distant memory now. Having said that, it was traumatic at the time - especially when we failed to obtain one of my husband's police certificates after six months of trying (many sleepless nights worrying he was going to be refused based on this).

Good morning everyone. Another night of fruitless attempts to sleep. Bah!

Another day at the grind stone. Luckily, it's Friday for us. Hubby doesn't work tomorrow!

As we all know, Halfmoon was the life of the party last night. We want pictures.
