Passport

I went to collect my new passport today.

And realised how crowded it can be close to the holiday season. Yes, the school vacations are round the corner, and people are rushing to get their passports done so that they can go for that trip they are planning for.

So I ended up waiting for 2 hours, just to spend less than 5 minutes to collect my passport.

Anyway, the new biometric passport is valid only for 5 years (instead of the usual 10) and it comes with its own passport number, unlike in the past, when your IC and passport shares the same number. Guess that means having to refer to the passport everytime I fill in an immigration card...
