Month: April 2009

Got my passport today. Got really nice expiry date, 14/4/14 hahaha…

Finally I did my booking! I’m going to Singapore this August. Will be going with my aunt and will meet my sis there in Singapore.

Did a quick research since this morning and only just now found out that Tiger Airways is having zero fare promo. I think it ends today.

Made the booking and I paid RM189 for return ticket. In fact my target was below RM300 but who knows there’s RM200 and below offer. It’s a deal! Even with the “hidden charge” of the airline, the convenience fee -.-” RM25 per person. I hate it. Why? That is because it didn’t reflect in the total and when you make your payment, it was only reflected after the transaction was completed. So be prepared to get shocked with the extra charge.

What you see in the picture is not the final amount you are making. The final total is RM378 for two persons.

Then the itinerary didn’t have much details just like Air Asia. You only see the passenger name, contact details, flight details and money you paid(without breakdown of charges) but there’s no other details such as passport number of each passenger.

Oh! One thing I’m not sure, I didn’t choose any seat because if you choose your seat, you will have to pay for it. Do they assign to you randomly or you must make your choice? GOSH! I hope this is not another hidden cost when check-in -.-” Anyone has any idea?

So I will be away from 17 August 2009-21 August 2009. Should be able to update blog by then or have series of scheduled posts ;p My mission is to “eat” Singapore, no shopping, what to shop? No money to splurge. I rather feed my stomach.

Finally… I got my passport renewed! I’ve been talking about it since beginning of the year and finally got it done now. Renewal is RM300 for 5 years.

My passport expired in 2007 and I only used it once way back in 2003. ONCE! Don’t you think it’s such a waste?

My target now is to use it more than once within these 5 years! At least 5 times. *cross my fingers*

In case you don’t know what you need to bring to renew your passport, here’s the list:

1. Your expired passport
2. 2 passport-sized photos (you can just go there and there is people offering such service, RM10 for 4 pieces of photos using Polaroid, I did mine there coz back then I did it outside, it got rejected and had to take new one at the staircase there. There will be people there that will ask you whether you got your photos already or not before u go into the building. So now I don’t bother to go other place to take. At least if it’s rejected, you can go down and “shoot” the photographer hahaha… It didn’t turn out nice but I don’t care as long that I can proceed with my renewal)
3. 1 Photocopied IC
4. Your Original IC
5. RM300 if you are going for the 32 pages passport (credit/debit card accepted)

The form will cost you RM1. All in all, I spent almost one hour there. Went at 3pm and left at almost 4pm.

Passport will be ready within 24 hours. I will go collect it tomorrow. The department is really efficient, service is fast and they are very helpful.

So? Why I renew my passport? I’m planning to go to Singapore this August with my sis else it will be this December. Someone has promised me to bring me around and hunt for food ;p

After Singapore, where next? I don’t know yet… Hopefully Australia? Hong Kong? Go on cruise? We’ll see by then. Make more money first.
