Overstaying sa Singapore

April 22, 2011 ara na ko sa Singapore for a vacation and partly YES! for job hunting. Tourist Pass lang ko so para makalawig-lawig ko stay sa SG nag exit ko sa Malaysia sang April 30 kag nagbalik man lang daun. So meaning ma end ko sa May 30. Pero nag apply ko extension sang May 20 pa lang kag na approve.

June 3, I decided to go home sa Pinas! Sang sa Imigration na, I presented my Approval Form. Pero sala ang na print ko. Application Form lang to ya gale... pero sure ko na approve ko kay nagbayad na ko gani. So, gin hawidan ko danay sang isa ka officer kag gin dul-ong sa isa ka officer for verification sang application ko kag gamay nga interview (Interview kuno ha!).

After few minutes, gin tawag ko sang isa ka officer nga mal-am.

IO: Why are you overstaying?!!! (angry mode)

Me: So what's the problem Sir if I overstayed? I believe, my application for extension was approved.

IO: No no no! You are overstaying!

indi ko na ma gets kung anu ambot ya silingon... Ma sabat nko tani pero ga sige gid siya japon wakal nga "you are overstaying!" (so many times with matching pointing his finger at me - agry face!). Samtang gina akigan yako, gina buksan ya man ang gate para ka sulod ko sa departure area.

Indi gid ko ya ka inchinde! Nga-a akigan ya ko bi noh? Kay klaru man kaayo nga na approve akon extension. Kag biskan sala nga form nahatag ko gin verify ya man.

Last day ko nalang gid to sa Singapore na badtrip pa ako! Na init ko! Ang iban ga hambal gina amu na kuno nila basta Pinay. Kay basi Burikat man kuno ang kadto. Indi ko ya pokpok! Kag tani indi nila pag e generalize ang tanan nga Pinay!

Im aware of the law..ga basa2x man ko a!

Under the Singapore Immigration Act, the penalty for illegal entry is a jail term of up to six months, plus a minimum of three strokes of the cane. The penalties for overstaying (exceeding 90 days) are – a jail term not exceeding six months, and caning not less than three strokes. In cases where caning cannot be administered, the offender will be fined up to $6,000.

A Fox News channel claims 'Obama bin Laden dead'.

Modern media works at lightning speed, especially social media such as Twitter. Which may explain the grimly amusing raft of spelling mistakes confusing Osama (bin Laden) and (Barack) Obama. The conflation of the terrorist chief with the American president by a Fox station in California may have struck many as not a coincidence given Fox News's openly critical stance of Obama.

A TV headline at the Sacramento station read: "Obama bin Laden dead". Leftwinger Keith Olbermann, a former host at cable news channel MSNBC, made the same slip – blogging that George W Bush had "deprioritised the hunt for Obama". An MSNBC correspondent tweeted: "Obama shot and killed". In fact, the mistake was so common that in its apology the Sacramento Fox station pointed out that anchors or journalists had also got their Obamas and Osamas mixed up at another Fox station, CNN and ABC News.

David and Victoria Beckham have been invited to Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding.


British football hunk David Beckham and his expectant wife Victoria were seen arriving at the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton held at Westminster Abbey on Friday (April 29).

Vicki's fourth pregnancy didn't slow her down one bit! Posh dressed her baby bump impeccably in a dark-navy dress, killer heels and a "fascinator" headpiece by Philip Treacy. Her soccer star hubby looked dapper in a suit by Ralph Lauren.

And of course the bride looked stunning in her gown, which featured a two meters, 70 centimeter train. The happy couple are now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
