Passport renewal @ UTC Melaka

My last experience for renewing passport was 5 years ago when I was still residing in Ara Damansara. And it is now time again to get a new book for myself as I am travelling oversea soon with Be for our honeymoon trip :)

2 days before the renewal, i headed to Jabatan Imigresen Melaka to understand the latest requirement for the passport photo (as I can't seems to find any updated information in the Imigresen website). Out of my surprise, the officer told me that for renewing passport, I shall only to bring along my old passport and the original IC; of course money for payment as well :)

Ok, after gathering all the information required, here am i today drive down to UTC Melaka for this important mission. Reached UTC Melaka car park at 8.40am. And I have expected that there's gonna be a long queue to wait. But... ..., I got the number of 1007 while current number is at 1006! I did not even have chance to sit down when I heard and saw my number was being called! Haha.

I headed to counter number 4. The officer was friendly and greeted me with a warm smile. He got my old passport and IC for details verification, and asked for my latest contact number.  Subsequently, he asked me to turn to my left where the camera is, and 1, 2, 3 SMILE! That's it! My passport photo gao dim within seconds. And after verifying and thumb printing, I may leave the counter and wait for payment at counter 7.

The black box on each white panel is the camera for instant passport photo shooting

My number was being called again within minutes i left counter 4. After the payment, the officer gave me a receipt with time of collection being stamped on it. And then I was being directed to leave the receipt in a box at counter 6 which is the dispense counter.

Not even 20 minutes i started reading my book, again, my name was being called. The officer at counter 6 asked me to check and confirm whether all the details on the passport are 100% correct, and proceed with signature if yes.

And guess what, all these were being done within 30 minutes since i arrived UTC Melaka car park. Efficient right!

Receipt issued at 8.48am, and I collected my passport at 9.10am - 10 minutes earlier than the scheduled time :p

So here I summarise again the simple procedure for passport renewal for your reference:

1. Bring along your original old passport and original IC.
2. Go to the reception counter and get the queue number. Make sure you have all the documents with you as per stated in No.1 else no queue number will be given.
3. Wait for your number to be called. Passed the documents to the officer and photo will be taken here. (please make sure you are wearing dark color clothes; alternatively there are few black blazer provided there just incase some people are wearing light color clothes.)
4. Proceed for payment at counter 7. (wait for your number to be called).
5. Make payment and receipt will be issued to you.
6. Place the receipt in the box located at counter 6.
7. Wait for your name to be called and final check all the details before you sign on the book.
8. The end! haha

Fahrenheit 600 cafe @ Publika

Our second visit to Fahrenheit 600 cafe at Publika. It is more than a cafe I should say due to its' extensive menu.  And reason to come back: Super value for money lunch set + the superb tempting tasty cake as dessert!

Fahrenheit 600 was packed with customers as usual.  The Koi sisters had to wait for minutes before we got a table. We straight had our orders placed and again, as usual, the food were being served fast and yet, remain the same good quality. In fact, the Koi sisters were having such a great time here with the comfortable environment and energetic & humorous staffs :) Love this place!

A&H: Celebration of "ah, that's love" ~DIY Paper Fan

A&H decided to have the ROM ceremony to be held on the same day on our wedding day, 20th September 2014, at the 3rd floor pool side at Holiday Inn Melaka.

Since it's gonna be an outdoor ceremony, there might be a possibility for either raining, or we all gotto suffer under the big hot sun. In terms of raining kind concern, we were lucky enough as Holiday Inn Melaka pool side has the glass shade where guests can sheltered underneath.

So, to get ourselves prepare for the Mr. Sunny, we decided to diy a hand fan for every guest. Few things to prepare as  below:

1. A5 art card (or you may get A4 art card, then separate it into half which will give you 2 A5 card as well :p)
2. Wooden craft stick
3. Double sided tape (craft glue)
4. Scissor
5. Satin ribbon

This is indeed super easy. After creating the image you want in either Photoshop, Microsoft Words or whatever software you are comfortable with, test print on a piece of paper with the size you desire. If everything is fine then, let's start the printing job!

After you are done with the printing, fold the printing card into half (as per shown in the picture).

Place as many as of the double sided tape on the blank side especially at the edge of the paper.

Enhance the glue or double sided tape on the part where you have the wooden craft stick place on.

Adhere both side of the card. And last but not least, decorate it with some nice piece of satin ribbon with some craft glue stick at the back just to secure it.

Yup, that's all. You are done with this super nice diy hand fan!

You may opt for any other die cut shape you prefer eg. heart shape, oval shape. But it might be more time consuming though :p

Have fun to try it out!
