Busted

    ”I am moving in from overseas,” I handed the application form to the ward office staff.
    ”Do you have your...” the staff said after checking my application form.
    I handed over my passport before she finished her question. I was proud of myself that I knew the procedure so well.
    ”I cannot find the address. Do you have the contact of the real estate agent?” she asked.
    Busted! It’s not a rental appartment.
    “I can call the agent for you, “ she kept asking.
    ”Er… hmm… it is a hotel, “ I relunctantly answered.
    ”Hotel address cannot be registered, “ she said.
    ”Oh, really?! I didn’t know that…“ I pretended.
    Damn! I had used a weekly apartment hotel once for resident registration. I thought I could cheat again.
