Visa Outing

25 May 2022 (24 Syawal 1443)

Today Ihsan, Aqeel and I left home for BSB for UK visa appointment around 0645.  We left early to avoid traffic.  Fortunately since we were early, the visa centre in town center at PGGMB building, was easy to get to.  We arrived 30 minutes early.  That was the building where we did our visa for umrah in 2019. 

Since it is early, so we went to the balcony to watch tamu Kianggeh, Brunei River, and the boats and cars passing by.  We also saw the new bridge i.e Sg Kebun Bridge.  Of course, we also took some pictures to remember us by.  Very nice view.

It took awhile at the visa centre.  Even though Aqeel had uploaded the necessary documents, when applied she has included the payment for scanning the printouts, so they did on her behalf.  

Ihsan of course seeing new surrounding, he wanted to look around.  I had to go back to the car to get the stroller,  Ihsan so heavy.  With the stroller I walked him around while waiting.  I brought him to the balcony couple of times so that he won't get bored.  While inside the visa centre, Aqeel fed him. During that time, the staff had done the scanned and upload, and wanted to take picture of Ihsan.  He was so sleepy and we had to wake him up.  Poor Ihsan!  It took a while to wake him up,

They informed no fast track now for visa as now the regulations is about 6 weeks to get approved.  May Allah make it easy for Aqeel & Ihsan's applications.  Aamiin.

After all done, we went for breakfast.  Trying to go to Gadong area but, car parking full.  So I droved to Country Patch and we had our breakfast.  Ihsan was asleep once we left the visa centre and carried him inside the restaurant and put him in the stroller.  Funny thing is, when the food arrived, he woke up!!  He ate with us and enjoyed it!!

A good outing today.

We have another outing with grandpa and Mushu, In Shaa Allah. 

p/s visa Ihsan finally got approved first week of August 2022.
