Today's Errands
Last Sunday I had taken a photograph meant for passport renewal. The background has to be white and we need to wear a collar shirt. Today I decided to visit UTC instead of the Jabatan Imigresen near Meru which is further away.
When I reached there, it was almost 1pm. I just had to wait for a short while. After the payment of RM300 for 5 years span, I was asked to collect it at 2.30pm. Since I had so much time in between, I went to the bank to update my kids' passbook. Since my dental clinic was just nearby, I waited for my dentist at 2.15pm. She came in at 2.30pm and I was given the privilege to go in first.
I wanted to have my wisdom tooth extracted but the other dentist was on leave. I was told to come back in April. Never mind about that, I quickly went to collect my passport. This new passport has a photo of me in black and white. And I was given 6 months extra as my old passport actually expires in 8 months time.
On my way back, I dropped by another dental clinic near my place. I wanted to make an appointment. But it's on a first come first served basis. So I had to wait for just 2 people and that made me wait for an hour. When it was my turn, I spent less than 20 min. The extraction cost RM40.
I think I still prefer the one with appointment needed. So convenient and we don't need to waste time.
Good! You have gotten many things done on the same day. Is there any reason you want to remove one of your wisdom tooth?
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had been through a busy and productive day!
ReplyDeleteI too prefer anything with appointment, more convenient, save times as well.
DeleteGood night to you wenn, and Happy Valentine's Day!!
Looks like you got a lot done! We don't have drop in dental places around here!
ReplyDeleteWenn... U so brave to go dental for extraction...i will only wait till beh tahan the pain then only I go...very stressful for me ....
ReplyDeleteLots of things done in a day, good! I also fully utilize my day if I am on leave, so usually I will plan what to do, or what I need to do, then I apply leave. Wisdom tooth extraction? Like Reana, I will only wait until I can't tahan the pain only I go to the dentist, else, I will prefer to just wait for it to "rot".. Wait, "rot"? Yucky, hehe..
ReplyDeletehow nice you've got so many things done in a day, must be great for the forever busy Ipoh Taukesoh huh?? and yeah, i think it's better to renew our passport at the UTC instead of the immigration branches huh?? since less people know about this, errr yet i mean..
ReplyDeleteoh, the new passport has our photo in black and white now?? and so nice, you were given 6 months extra!! but then we always need to renew beforehand because we cannot use the passport if it has only 6 months till expiry..
ReplyDeleteThat's fast, can collect the passport in same day, ours can't collect same day, have to wait a few days...
ReplyDeleteI had my wisdom tooth remove many years already as advise by the denist...
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend ahead...
ReplyDeleteMy dentist here even with appointment sometimes still needs to wait a hour as the person inside maybe having dental surgery or something.
ReplyDeleteI think it is about time for me to go visit dental for checkup..
ReplyDeleteHappy chap goh meh and happy valentine day to you...
Nowadays, renewing a passport is very convenience and fast.
ReplyDeleteI won't dare to have my tooth extracted unless it cause problems (swollen, can't bite, etc). I'm too scare to visit a dentist.
What a coincidence. I also went to renew my passport during the CNY holidays but it was packed like sardines in KL outlets. I thought everyone were on holidays but I was wrong. They all thought the same and went during the week long CNY holidays. My colleague told me that it was almost fast and empty during normal working weeks.
ReplyDeleteYou were so smart and could even visit dentists! Wakakakaka
What a coincidence, I also went to the dentist recently, but in Singapore, extract one tooth costs S$45! Some even cost S$80 for one tooth... very expensive!
ReplyDeleteI also very scare go dentist, I will scream when the dentist wants to inject into my gums, very stressful for me and I will shiver...
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine to you and have a weekend ahead...
ReplyDeleteI waited for one and a half hour when I visited my dentist the other day... I didn't book appointment, it was a last minute decision as I already cannot stand the pain...
ReplyDeleteYup, for whatever check up I always like to make an appointment first, even though I don't like to talk via phone but just have to!!! =]
