其实申请Visa不会麻烦与复杂，只要提早做好文件的准备，那么一切会更简易并更快申请签证啦！

由于我申请的以工作为目的，所以需要向雇主索取由台湾劳工局发出的work permit咯！下一期会与大家分享如何申请Work Permit的一些程序及所需要准备的相关文件。

在此，恭祝各位：新年快乐，事事如意，龙年行大运！^^

VISA 如何申请？？？

By Chris ^^

阔别了几乎一个星期，我回来了！自从我亲爱的电脑被人家“照顾”了几天，我超级想念它了！大家对我上期，十号的签证旅程有期待？其实整个过程是有点复杂，但一切还Ok!再跟大家揭晓我是否成功办理了签证，先与大家分享申请签证的process如下：-

其实在开始去领事馆前，做的搜集功课其中之一，所以不怕一万，只怕万一了。虽然整个process看起来很复杂，但最重要，只要带好所有相关文件，就容易办得多了。

最后啊，我的签证因为缺了一张approval letter by 台湾政府部门的相关单位，所以还在咨询当中。下一期，我会整理好简要的步骤及需要的文件,方便大家作未来参考。

现在，开始有点担心了。因为机票，护照等等的事物准备就绪，还欠“东风”-签证，所以开始知道步骤是要怎么规划了。如果有学弟学妹想到台湾实习，也可好好考虑看看，因为大可申请同样的Visitor  Visa,只是不同purpose罢了。

加油！^^

一月十日～我要去申请签证了！

By Chris ^^

嘿。。。休息了几天，筹备了该准备的事物，明天要来咯！什么大日子啊？我第一次出国，第一次办签证，第一次到大使馆参观去啦！

不知道怎么去？当然做好功课啦！首先google map,如上图显示，大概知道它的周围有些什么建筑物，那么找起来会更方便了。再来，乘搭些什么交通工具到哪儿呢？

由于我现在在Ampang,所以最清楚的就是搭LRT到Hang Tuah这一站，然后再转乘Monorail到Bukit Bintang,然后再走大概十分钟的路途就会到达Menara Yayasan Tun Abdul Razak咯！驻马来西亚的台湾文化与经济大使馆就在Level 7啦！

由于一个人第一次要走出去Bukit Bintang这地方，所以就会先搜集，做好功课，要不，我这路痴或许会迷路并遗失在这城市中。哇哈哈～当然不会这么严重，只要有嘴巴，就不怕找不到路。总而言之，有口不怕难，有口不怕找不到路，有口不怕找没有吃。从这儿，就知道“口”的威力啦！

虽然“口”的确能帮助很多事情，当然也别忘了“祸从口出”这句话哦！话要小心，细心并诚心地说，不可随便乱作，无中生有，并加盐加粗。

好了，今天update到此，明天出门回来，再跟大家一一分享。

Oh My Passport!!^^

By Chris ^^

十二月二十七日，圣诞节后的两天，我跑去处理护照了啦！

那一天的早上，就算我已经七点十五分在Immigration office了，但那边也好多人咯！原来每个都忙着准备农历新年时，出国旅行了吧？！因为80%都是华人，大家都是准备Renew passport或做新的护照了。

当然，切记丫，在出发旅行前，第一件事除了订购机票之外，当然也不能忘了检查护照。如果护照validity少过六个月（半年），会被拒绝出国，然后旅行计划泡汤咯！所以记得，千万要检查护照的有效期哦！

由于本人护照在今年七月就expired了，所以在未去办理签证(Visa)之前，第一件也该做的事就是去renew passport啦！当天，我用了半天时间，从七点到十二点，才成功领取新护照咯！各位都好奇，不是说办理护照很快的吗，一个小时就行了？当然从你交上表格与付钱后，只需再等一个小时，你的护照就可以领取了；可是排队拿表格，再等待到柜台交表格与缴钱，都花上几个小时了。

各位第一次办理护照的朋友们，别忘了你有机会申请两种passport哦！办理两年效期的护照只需缴付MYR100.00,而五年的护照就需要MYR300.00咯！除此之外，需要准备的文件是：-
1）两张复印的身份证
2）两张彩色护照照片（背景蓝色)
*女生特别注意，拍照时，一定要把前面的刘海夹起，整个脸的轮廓与两只耳朵一定要露出。
3）表格可预先到柜台领取，不需排队。填好了表格，再继续排队拿号码了。
P/S:-如果是要办新的护照，只需要带旧护照及两张就行了。

我的护照出了，接下来准备处理我PTPTN,政府的教育贷学金了。要不，毕业了接近半年，贷学金再不还，准备被Blacklist，不用出国咯！所以如果刚完成Degree的贷款生，记得一切需要安排妥当，避免名字被列入黑名单，过后就不能出国了。

好了，今天分享到这儿，接下来期待我的签证申请过程与结果咯！^^

打工度假@写实随意心情

By Chris ^^

人生只有一回，从来没有Take 2!我们需要为自己所做的决定负责任，也犹如个人的打工度假决定。台湾，我们对它的认识，有多少？旅游，又是应该等到什么时候？

一场漫长的旅途，计划是绝对不可缺的。有人常说：“计划永远赶不上变化。”虽然如此，那并不代表我们不需计划。为了这次的打工度假，你又计划与筹备了多少呢？回头想想，一路几个月走来，我的确做不多，也不少。碰上刚好要搬家，也是第一次的经验，让我2011年尾到2012年头的生活添上不少色彩。

每一次的第一次经验，从来不会觉得害怕，退缩；反而常抱着对于第一次的经验期待，兴奋与遐想。“人生不会只满足于坐在软沙发上，都想要出去看看他所看不到的东西。为什么人看到没有看过的东西会兴奋？就因为他心里有想象力的渴望存在。”摘自—梅子涵

个人非常赞同以上的这番话，所以活力会不断燃烧下去，让我即将来临的台湾打工度假充满更多的期待。今天笔录心情，所以下期会与大家分享更多咯！^^

Working Holiday 2012 March 22th, Taiwan – I am coming!!!!!

By Chris ^^

新年快乐！我回来了！几天没update blog,请多多包涵，未来日子里不会再这么重犯啦！

打工度假，当然是为了一边旅行一边省budget啦！谁说钱少不能旅行？旅行只有有钱人的专利？人，不是没钱，而是看自己愿意付出多少，来换取更多意想不到的快乐和知识。旅行，也只不过是这样的道理。

旅行，很多大马人都等到马航或亚航做大促销或优惠价时，冲着去订购，争取这个便宜的旅行机会。当然，没有马航或亚航做促销或优惠时，旅游的旅客们会更少。旅行对于大马人，首要条件是机票的价格。没有便宜的机票，很多人都提不起劲去旅行。

没有特别优惠或促销，我依然坚持到台湾打工度假走透透这旅途了。机票虽说会比平时贵多了，但它还不足作为绊脚石，因为只要货比三家，你找到最便宜那家后，你就会心甘情愿，开心地订购那机票了（至少便宜了！^^）。

首先，我浏览JetStar， Air Asia and China Airlines的round trip (from KL-Taipei-KL),启程时间暂定在三月，而归来的日子暂定六月。根据几天的survey, JetStar 的票价界于一千多，Air Asia就在八百多；而China Airlines 就是最贵的，价格是一千四百多。

经过一个月的上下查询与翻阅，最后我的出发日子锁定啦！22th March2012 , Taiwan – I am coming!我归来的日子已决定在七月二十四日，因为两个原因：一，当天价格较便宜，二，就是因为要呆在那儿四个月，而这天的日子也符合了个人的要求。

今天一月二号，距离我出发的日子不远。接下来的十号，我就要去台湾大使馆办理申请Visa的事物咯！Yeah…..^.^/
