I recently applied for a new passport because I cannot extend my old one. So I gave submitted a photo about 2-3 years old, when my hair was actually shorter.

I got an email saying it was rejected because I need to tie up my hair. Funny cause, in that photo, it was never long enough to tie up.

the Bear SG

ahahaha..

anyway, your hair covering your ears?

Keii SG

ahahaha..

anyway, your hair covering your ears?

In that photo, nope.

the Bear SG

hmm.. strange..

oh well, go grab a camera, slick back your hair and take a pic..

soon it'll be time for me to do the same... but i don't have much hair

I also had my photo rejected when I tried to renew my IC online, for some unknown reason, which is why 5 years later I am still using my old IC.

Keii SG

Then I have to deal with NS, apply for defer last Tues, I get this 7 day Doom countdown to get a letter from school to prove it, and when I went to school last Friday I find out that the 'person in charge' who gives out these letters has went on holiday. And I have to fax tomorrow somehow.

One whole school only one person can authorize meh. Please lah.

^Acid^ aka s|aO^eH~ SG

oh ya... Talking abt IC...

By wat age is it compulsory to change the IC photo again?

Keii SG

Anyone know what's going to happen to Formula 1 after Starhub Cable TV lose ESPN and Starsports at the end of the month?

I know Moto GP will go to Supersports.

the Bear SG

IC.. supposed to be 30...

and the F1.. i saw in the papers today MioTV says they'll get F1.. not sure if it's going to be to both the cable operators...

i think this is stupid... if it really is going to be "exclusive" the CEOs should know that they're being gouged and behave accordingly instead of being the rabid dogs fighting over a bone...

^Acid^ aka s|aO^eH~ SG

ahh... ic...

Thx ah bear...

Fatum SG

ahh... ic...

Thx ah bear...

I changed it immediately after ORD ..... cos for us our IC was made at 12 ........

I looked totally different .....

if yours was made at 12 you better change it too ....

I found it stupid why all this has happened, first the soccer, now this. I really don't understand why they're doing this (Apart from wanting to earn more money). Why can't they all be good in one thing, Starhub for cable TV, Singtel for land line and internet, and M1 for HP, all this competition and who pays?

Then in a few years what, M1 also want streaming cable TV? Mio isn't all that great to begin with since it relies on your bandwidth.

the Bear SG

i find it strange here in Singapore...

everywhere else, competition = people get things cheaper and better..

here, competition = people get gouged..

Fatum SG

cos there's really no competition here ? .......

and lau lee has spoken ...... we may see just one big bank soon .....

I lost my IC once b4 so I managed to changed my IC photo b4...

Think the next time I changed would be the 30 mark ba...

Stupid really. And it's not like more competition, and they bring in better goods. Singtel stole good channels away, only to support it with below-par broadcasting at a ridiculous price, only because you require higher broadband speeds to support it.

Kuali Baba SG

It's artificial competition and it doesn't benefit the consumer.

And I couldn't believe my eyes when the PM said we cannot expect a flood-free Singapore. Come on, when was the last time we had flooding this frequent in the affected areas? My memories of "flooding" in the 15 years prior to that are of ankle-high water.

I think that perhaps it may also be nature's revenge for our chickening-out of a commitment in Copenhagen last year.

the Bear SG

dying of hunger but there's nothing to eat.. or nothing i want to eat in the office..

Kuali Baba SG

The photo on my IC was taken almost 10 years ago, when my hair was still "long". If I get it changed now it should last me another 10 years, if things go well...

Fatum SG

the problem goes deeper .......

remember the recent brouhaha about how good a job the TCs were doing keeping their estates clean ? ....

people totally missed the point .... that our estates are kept clean only because of the constant efforts of an army of banglas .....

any let up in efforts and the whole place becomes a sewer ....

if we can learn to be a bit more conscientious we can get rid of the banglas and solve a lot of attendant social problems at the same time .....
