i just did mine in a black inl pen thing, same as i used for caf . . . hope they appreciate the effort and consistency! the pen was actually a needle tip 0.5mm ball pen made by energel with liquid gel ink in it if you're that interested. did anyone else get an saq that was just a photocopy, and not a particuarly great photocopy? i heard some people got like purple or pink card or something, similar to the caf, i applied to jesus . . .
