kiPPas

This morning, I went to the Ipoh Immigration Office to renew my passport. When I reached there, I headed straight to the form counter. The officer asked me if I wanted a 2 year or a 5 year passport. He told me that it's only RM100 for 2 years passport. That was very tempting but it took me a while to think.

When I decided a 5 year passport, he pointed to the kiPPas.

I haven't seen it before. As I entered the kiPPas, an officer assisted me throughout the process. It took hardly 5 minutes and I could collect my new passport in 2 hours time.

    That's fast ! I remember I gotta wake up at 6am when I renewed my passport last time in JB, and only got to collect it at almost 5pm. Btw, never been to the new Ipoh immigration in jelapang.

    As I'm in Singapore, I always renew my passport in the High Commission of Malaysia.

    5 mins to process is way too fast!

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
