Day 46 - Get a Certificate etc

A busy week started.  The last few days in Villawood.  I still don't know when to travel but I suspect it is 20th.  So I have to wind up everything tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.  It seems that the Immigration does not tell me the date and the time of travel in advance.  However, according to a guard who does escort, since I will go interstate, the custody has to be transferred from Serco NSW to Serco QLD which means that I should be able to take all my belongings with me.  I hope that is correct.

Today, I organised my court papers.  I also printed out the last documents that I might hand up to the judge.  Other than those bits and pieces, I read cases and had fun.  The Immigration never stop surprising the court (and the readers of the judgments like me).  They are astoundingly talented!

Tomorrow, I will introduce my quiet kind Tamil friend here to my caring friend in Sydney when she visits me.  The day after tomorrow, I will see my different gooooooood friend who will visit me.  Then I will have met all my friends living in Sydney before going back home.  I have a little bit of sense of accomplishment...  I successfully maximised this stay.

Tomorrow, I have to chase the activity officer to write a certificate of my participation/contribution to the Charity Walk.  I asked for the certificate last week to one of the vivacious Serco girls who said loudly, 'Only twice! It's not much!  I will write it when you participated 12 times!'.  Ha ha ha.  I managed to persuade her to write one even though it's ridiculous.  I may need it to submit to the Immigration.  Ha ha ha.  When I talk about this to one of my (naughty Oz) friends, he immediately advised me that I should also ask for a receipt from the charity for the tax deduction!
