ica

okay yes i haven't blogged for more than half a month.

i haven't really had anything much to blog about really, so finally today i do have something worth blogging about.

remember the posting about me having to update my thumbprint in my passport? well the thing is yesterday i went to jb and the same thing happened - i kinda got callled up again into their rooms and half an hour was wasted. tomorrow i'm going to jb again so just now i went to ica to have this matter sorted out.

when i asked the lady at the 2nd level she told me to go to the 3rd one. so i took my queue number and waited there, wondering why i was sent to the identification card department instead of the passports department. well when i went into the room i found out why. the thing is this - my passport of course derives my thumprint from my ic. so when the person re-scanned (or updated) my thumbprint and i saw it against the one on my ic, i understood why i always have problems clearing the automated gantries at checkpoints. both sets were so different! at first glance you would think it's two different sets of thumbprints. anyway the guy said my original thumbprint was poorly done, but still - they both look completely different on the screen. so the thumbprint in the ic was the source of the problem, meaning for the past 7 years i've been going around with a thumbprint on my ic that isn't exactly mine. haha. well at least i think tomorrow i should be able to clear that automated gantry without any problems.

after that i dropped by sim lim square to try get the screen protector and maybe laptop cases. the thing is my screen is 9", and my sister's is 17". it's really extreme - one is too small, one is too big. so i walked around and i hardly saw any that could fit both. most were between 12"-15". so i didn't get what i wanted, and if screen protectors of that size were rare, don't even think about finding laptop cases of that size. in any case my lappie is really small, it's pint sized. it really affects the eyes, so much so that after a while using my lappie when i read smses on my handphone suddenly the alphabets become bigger, or rather longer top-down. haha. i'm not kidding. i'm still trying to get used to typing on smaller buttons on the lappie, so i think it will take quite a while.

the past 2 weeks have been filled up with various stuffs. so-called training camps for facilitators for the upcoming freshman camp, silat, last few days of work and just going out. so next week is the camp, and then followed by silat performances, and matriculation fair, barbeques maybe, and maybe also a chalet. haha. even holidays are ultra-packed.

i'm now just abit disturbed by the fact that the online timetable builder is not yet updated when the modules are already out. so i'm really still thinking of what modules to bid for next semester, since the political science modules are mostly such a turn-off but the history ones are very interesting. which really makes me want to major in history but well, i think i should really stick to political science. for practical reasons i guess.

okay that's all for now.
