Lemme guess.... STOMP section, rite?

Really lots of stupid idiots in that forum..... they whine and moan about little things without realizing that they're intruding on the privacy of others and are potentially breaking the law in some cases....

The ultimate one was this woman who whined that her car got clamped for illegal parking at the Esplanade.... she claimed that it was not her fault, since she was late for a performance and so should be given 'flexibility' to decide where to park.

And guess what? She posted a photograph of her own car parked illegally on parking chevrons.... with the licence plate in full view.

That idiot can even state which camp.... Jurong Camp 2.

Wah... good luck to him. Essentially he has admitted to smuggling his camera phone into a restricted area..... and on the national newspapers, at that.

I dunno... some ppl could bring those phones in w/o getting caught... I could even believe not just men are doing it

When in doubt, SAF 8th Core Value applies.... do whatever you like, but don't get caught.

That is to say.... if you break the rules, then at least don't be stupid enough to proclaim it out loud.

the Bear SG

no one in? the whole day?

fudgester SG

I'm here.... spent the whole day doing some last-minute edits to my thesis.... my prof returned it to me yesterday afternoon with a whole bunch of suggested changes.

Anyway, you're just the person I wanted to ask, Bear....

Which one would be better: apply for a new passport online or go straight down to the ICA to do that?

I tried doing it online just now.... but I realize that I don't really have any good recent photos with plain backgrounds.

And my photo-editing skills are..... sUx0rz.

the Bear SG

you can go there and get a picture taken by them.. $5.35 or something like that for photos.. i think you get to keep 3 of them or something..

anyway, if you do it online, you get a $10 discount... or if you do it at ICA Building, take the picture, then fill in the form and drop it into the box, it's also $70.. if you do it over the counter, it's $80...

get someone to take a picture of you with a plain white background.. just any camera would do... then resize to (i forget what size) and send it in online.. so you don't have the face the crowd at the ICA Building twice

fudgester SG

Actually, I managed to edit a rather recent picture of myself and put up a white background.

However, after uploading the photo, my face was stretched in its width. They want 400x514 pixels... no amount of photo-editing could make my face look normal at that size.

Oh well.... I think I'll just spend a couple of hours to go down to ICA, take a proper passport photo and drop the forms in the box.

the Bear SG

okay.. try not to go during the lunch hours... that's when people come during their lunchtime and the lines to the photo booths are very crowded..

tip: if the 2nd floor booth is crowded, you can try going to the ones upstairs..

Thanks for the tip.

2000th reply.

I remember going to ICA early one Friday morning, and the queue waiting outside before opening time snaked around the perimeter of the building twice. However I was served within 20 minutes.
