Is the title interesting? Wonder will my readers get curious and think, " Eh? being cheated? how come oh.... =/ aiyo... what being cheated.. " Are you having this thoughts on mind? hehe. Ok. Let's continue~
My passport left one page only and the immigration in Brunei told me that if they chop the jamin pass, i cannot go anywhere else except Brunei. And so i went to my country, Malaysia at Miri yesterday to make my new passport. I went to Miri with my sister, my mum and my grandmother.
While reached Miri's Immigration, my sister dropped me there and told me to settle it myself. She said she want to bring mum change money this that. lol. I think she want me to be independent a bit, called me to ask people what to do. And so I just let it be, go there myself with my handbag and a bag of information for my new passport's use. Miri's Immigration moved to "Yu Lan Plaza", next to market. After stepping in Yu Lan Plaza, i looked around see whether there's any plate on Immigration. Found it and head straight to elevator to first floor.
Reaching the first floor, the immigration is just located on my right. It's so easy to find where it is. Then i get in to the department. I remembered my mum told me that i need to take form to fill in. And so after getting in the department, I look around. There's one uncle stared at me and like wanting to turn to me. I thought he's the security guard or what cause he got the formal wearing... I told him i want to do passport. He turned to the table, (table for filling form) and take out a piece of form. I don't know where he got the form, maybe from his bag or where. He asked for my old passport, ic, birth certificate as well. Then i open my bag and hand out my passport, ic those to him. After that, he took out his pen and help me to fill! He asked me to sit down also. I was thinking, why this uncle so good one? He help me to fill bo... or he help everyone to fill the form also? The uncle got long sighted lens, he hardly can see the letters from my IC or passport.
He filled the form very slowly and difficulty, ( his wordings very lousy also) till i wanna tell him i can help to fill de... But i didn't do so la. haha. The form has only one page and can finish it very fast. While he was viewing my passport, he said this kid so rich so young got passport for overseas. I didn't reply him, instead said in my heart, " eh? why security guard say these things de? "
After filled everything, he asked for my passport size photo. So i handed it to him. He looked at my picture and say something about my teeth! I said to myself again, " Why this uncle look at my photo o. " He handed me the form, and asked RM6. Got a bit shocked, i tot my mum told me only RM1. While taking out my money, the form is written RM1 !!! What!? Am I being cheated? Got a bit blur. Then he told me the form is 1 dollar, 5 dollar on the writings. -__-"
He asked me to go counter 12, i thanked him while leaving le... LOL
I went to the center, to let the people see my form, things that needed. He gave me number for me to wait to be called. While sitting, trying to look at the form that has just filled by the uncle. That uncle came to me to ask whether got anything wrong. I said ok. He asked me, " You know how to read malay?" LOL. Do i look like i don't know malay? I got credit for my malay le...
After a while, my mother joined me. I told them about it. My mother laughed at me, my sister laughed at me, my grandmother laughed at me also.... T__T
The number reached me, i went to the counter. My mum ask the lady where to get the form, the form cost RM 6? She said the form costed RM1 , it's located at the place where i get number. My mum told her about the uncle. She laughed also. T__T
That uncle... hais.. that's a way of business? I don't think there will be these "uncles" or "aunties" to be seen in Brunei immigration eh. Let me teach if any of you want to make money, take the opportunity to stand at Brunei's immigration, help people to fill in forms. Once per $3? or $5? lol
I took my new passport in the afternoon. After getting it, i viewed on my page. Scan scan scan.
Height written : 157 cm
-_______________-"
This height was 5 years ago... I am not that short anymore... T-T maybe i am now 159cm. That uncle copy my height from the old passport... T_T
My sister was so wanting to know how my dad or brothers react after knowing this incidence. My dad said, if that uncle ask me to follow him to somewhere to get form, then he kidnap me and sell me... LOL what la.. hais.
My grandmother's cat has passed away. I guess it's reaching its old age gua.. 9 years cat le...
