@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Welcome! 欢迎!@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Welcome to my virtual home. This is a little private space for me to put my thoughts and share my feelings since 2005. Due to my wide range of interests, there are perhaps too many tags. I would explain some of the less obvious tags:

"About Life" is really about how I have been pondering about life and what enlightenments and paradigm shifts I had experienced.

"About Psi" contains most topics about happiness, optimism vs pessimism,
confidence, comparison, pride and prejudice and other psychological aspects.

"About Logical Thinking" is about my own way of interpretating and explaining
certain issues, aiming to debunk (or create?) superficialness of them.

"About Ideology" is about my thoughts on big concepts like freedom, justice,
fairness in society and religion.

"About Society" is more about my observations about the society, often through interactions with different peoples.

"My Country" reveals my frustration, critics and hope
on my homeland - Malaysia.

"My Little Pieces" has more short posts though mostly are written in Mandarin.

While I do have some posts on book reviews and business, I am planning to
separate them into author-specific and content-specific blogs. Stay tuned.

Enjoy your reading!

Malaysian Passport Renewal in Singapore

Where: Malaysian High Commission @ 301 Jervois Road
When: 8am -1130am (Submission) || 2:30pm - 4:15pm (Collection)
How: Read caibin's comment at worm's perspective (Thanks Kap Lam for finding me this info before we went. :) )
Efficiency: High, one day

We went at Tuesday by taking the earliest 199 bus, reached there around late 7. I got the pass number of I-15, finished the application by 9am, came back to take at late 2, got it at 3 plus. So few additional hints are:

1. The electronic form of IM.42 can be obtained at this site.

2. Go there early, with 3 serving counters and efficiency of 5 minutes per application, the high commission can process about 100 application per day. That's the reason why the pass in guard house is limited.

3. Bring along PR/employment pass/student pass. We didn't know this but luckily we always bring along with us.

4. There's a photo taking and photocopy machine.

5. After submission, you can collect at another day.

Officers there are very friendly, one officer even started the conversation with me.

Officer: Emak kamu Chinese? (Are your mother Chinese?)
Me: Ya.
Officer: Bapa juga? (Your father also?)
Me: Ya.
Officer: Jadi mengapa rambut kamu kerinting? (Then why your hair is curly?)
... @.@ +.+ -_-
(FYI, curly hair is the dominant gene)

I finally understood why my US visa application needs longer time to process.
