Joyful Wait

posted by FH2o

If there’s any visit that is more painful than to your dentist, it must be any government offices to apply for something; which in my case is to apply for the renewal of my children’s passport as we’re traveling outside Malaysia for a short holiday in early December. Since they're still under 18, I have to be there to sign the forms and do the thumb imprints. Not to mention the RM300/- it costs to renew each passport. Now everyone can fly - but only if they can afford the passport in the first place.

I strategize that if we get there before 8am then we would be able to beat the long queues but fat chance as when we got there 5 minutes before the counter opens at 8am there must have been over thirty people already there before us! These must have been there before 7.30am. Kuching people can be kiasu too. *sigh*

Anyway we finally got our application processed after spending over 3 hours there and hopefully it would not be another joyful wait when we have to go back to collect our passports on Monday.
Ying-yang keeps her cool despite any long waits, joyful or otherwise for us to return home.

here in Jakarta, we usually use an agent to do the administrative thing for making a passport. So, we only need to come to the immigration office for taking a pic and signature.

Oh.. ying yang looks so cute wearing the sun glasses, I guess ying yang is already ready also for vacation? hehehe
Dilvin just renewed his passport in Langkawi. No one was there and I really mean no one at all. He got it renewed and collected on the same day within 2 hours (although they promised 1). But I guess too far for you to fly over just to renew your passport.....
Did you get Ying-Yang a passport too?
