It's been sometime...
life has been draining.... long working hours.... tight deadlines... n NS reservist coming up... sheesshz :S
Anyways... what happened today, re-enforces my belief that Singapore's administration system (be it public or private) is indeed very efficent. Last Saturday (10th midnight), I decided to make a new passport due to the constant reminder from immigration officers everytime I travel overseas. I made a new one online... which basically means they roll-forward your particulars and ask you to send them a scanned photo for the new passport. Before I knew it, they sent me an email on the 14th.. telling me that my new passport can be collected on the 15th onwards and to make an appointment online to collect if possible. Thus I made an appointment for 17th May Saturday 9am. I managed only to get there at 9:10 or so... The place was packed and I thought I was in for a long wait. I went to the queue ticket machine and they scanned a letter that I received from them (telling me to collect my passport). I got my queue number and checked... It turned out, I was next in queue!! I realised this was probably because of my appointment time. It was even stated on my queue ticket. Thus, I happily got my new passport within 10mins of stepping into the building :D
I bet this isn't possible in Australia :P
