At 2.33am now, finally I have the mood to sit down here and blog about being at home. Hmm.. guess maybe I have more or less settled the mess that I have been in?
Went to the National Registry Department (Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara) at Puchong Utama at 7.00am today. Was among the first 10 (to be exact i was the 8th) in the queue, and waited till about 8.45am to reach my turn. Overall it was ok. Haha... one thing i realized, the technology being used over there is somewhat sophisticated! Guess what they use: Flatscreen monitor and Laser Printer! Haha.. ok I think I sound a little too awkward here. Nvm. Anyway, nothing much there la. Basically just thinking rubbish there while waiting for the Office to open and for my turn to make a new I/C.
At 9.00am, left the office and headed towards the Land Transportation Department (Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan or JPJ) in PJ State (or New Town). Don't know why but the traffic was horrendously heavy that time along the LDP. Really so heavy that I decided to make a detour from later the Federal Highway and pass through the housing areas of PJ to reach the place. Got a number 1230, and waited for about 45 minutes (reached the destination at about 10.15am). And i got my new driving license on the spot. Overall, the entire process was far much smoother than what i expected. Afterall still not so bad lah. And guess what, i think i still can pass my simple Malay oral test la... just that maybe i lost 60% of my PMR level vocabulary and perhaps 30% of PMR level grammar. Haha..
Actually the title does not accurately reflect upon this la.. not really a new identity but new documents for the same identity. Well at least this is an experience and serves as a very important lesson to me. To the person who was not honest in the bus: not that I want to curse you, but having greed on such a small fortune will result in a bigger misfortune in the future. Good luck to you. |
