passport renewal

went to the immigration to renew my passport yesterday morn. it was such a breeze, using KIPPAS (kiosk pembaharuan pasport). was there at 7.30am, and i got my spanking new book by 10.15am. kudos, immigration dept! ^__^



i found this really, really useful guide on using KIPPAS (kiosk pembaharuan pasport) and followed it almost to the T. was thankful that my IC & passport were in good condition, and that my thumbprint were verifiable. the gal before me had problem with her thumbprint and she had to go wait in line. that really sucked cos if you've been to the imm dept, you wld know how long the lines snake and how stuffy the air is inside the waiting hall from lack of oxygen. can die wan.

however, as i was waiting in line at the kiosk, i almost had a heart attack when i realised that in my pic i was smiling widely, had no collared blouse on, and my ears were partially hidden (i thought all these were booboos - maybe they are requirements for IC), but the imm officer said that as long as i look like my prev pic, it shd be ok. i was so relieved!! and i'm glad i have a smiling pic lol ^__^ no more sour/mourning/shocked/pale face staring back, at least for the next 5 years. la la la..
