She has a Biometric Passport

Somewhere in June 2007, we received a notice from the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) informing us about cessation of Photo Update Service for Non-Biometric passports, this is in relation to Anthea's Passport.




We have been given the option to change her current passport to a new biometric passport. Considering that we will be travelling soon in August, we thought it was good to change Anthea's passport as the photo of her current passport was taken when she was about 2 years old. Also if we are travelling to Australia in 2008, it is better to change her passport as the Australian Immigration may be quite strict . With all these in mind, we submitted the new application in July 2007.

Yesterday, the notice of collection came via the mailbox. As Adrain is off today, so i took 1/2 day off and we brought Anthea to ICA to collect her new passsport. We reached ICA around 1pm and our Q number was 2736, there was about 91 people infront of us. We waited for about an hour and our Q number was called. We are lucky that we only need to wait an hour. Anthea was happy to see her new passport and we are now ready for our family vacations.

After collecting the passport, we went to Army Market aka Golden Mile Food Centre for lunch and also Adrain needed to buy some stuff.


Well, based on some good recommendation from Ieat.ishoot.ipost , we managed to try a few good dishes. Adrian ordered a plate of carbonara from Pasta Planet and i had the famous Prawn Noodle. We had the Sweet Stone Parad Ice Waffle with Belgian Chocolate and a single scoop of Ice cream. Anthea truely enjoyed this dessert.


Finally, we bought home some Muffins and cheese tarts from this shop SLII muffins. They looks very delicious and i tried the cheese tarts - I love it very much... : )

After a nice Makansutra, we headed home. AS we were leaving, Anthea said : "mummy, this is a nice place to eat, we must come again..ok ? " I was taken by surprised as she is quite a choosy person and usually she likes to eat at aircon places, so to comes out from her...it is quite an achievement and Yes, we will be back for more...hee : P
