Post-Honeymoon Trip - Visit to Australian Embassy

Australian Embassy is at Nassim road just beside US embassy near botanical gardens. The application for visa is from 9am to 12noon and 2:30 to 4:30, Mondays to Fridays only. We took a cab from the Orchard MRT. Before we went in, we were asked to leave our camera phones, laptops, cameras and other electronic devices. They also asked us to leave any id with a photo then went through under security inspection. The visa application is on the second floor and we went straight to the reception area to get a queue no. It was quite fast than what I've expected and there's only few people waiting. While we were waiting for our no to appear on that screen, we overheard one applicant with her husband i think telling the officer that her husband is very rich. :D Wow. Talk about desperation. Hahaha. It's so funny though. When it was our turn, we submit all the requirements to the officer, asks us to pay $136 each, told the officer that we need the passport by friday for our genting trip to which she asked us to come back after 2 days. All that in less than a minute. By 10.30 am we both got a call which we both missed. It was from the Australian Embassy. And we thought that we forgot to submit something or that our visa got denied. Habiga called the office before lunch time and he was told to call before 2.30. We were both anxious to know what the call was about. Before 2.30, habiga called again the embassy. And he was told that our visa got approved! That was really fast! Wopeeeeeeeeee. So happy!
