Yes yes... i know, my birthday has passed earlier this month.... but it's this that changed my everything....
Like at those borned before year1980, we all tried our best to hide our NRIC from our friends.... when we come to age of pub hopping and drinking in public, we stubbornly refused to show our NRIC to proof our age n many have more than once risk kena kicked out of the party!
Reason: We have a Primary Six photo on our NRIC... BLeah!
Yes yes I knw... many can boost to have a nice cute photo on their NRIC.... not me! some of my friends even resort to "lose" their NRIC or have "accidentally" sat on it - so that they can rid of the "childish" photo...
I was supposed to change my NRIC when I turn 18... I was so looking forward to it when one fine day, I received a Govt letter informing me that since our faces dun expect to change much from age 12 to 18, the govt will not require those affected, to change their NRIC till they turn 30 yrs old! YAH RIGHT!!
What abt the changes to our faces between the period of 12yrs to 30yrs old?! OMG!
Whatever happened to those kids like me who started to sprout volcano like pimples on their nose or forehead - worse, everywhere the volcano can find a clean spot to erupt from! How about those Make-Up Bobbi Brown exploration period?!! Or those disastrous hairdo we had!?!
Apparently, like all Law-Abidding citzens, no one made a noise... we were only 18 anyway!
So for the many years, I endured with my Cutesy photo on my Identity Card, which Ironically - no longer Identifies me!! Bleah! Thank Goodness I went to serve the nation and kept my Pink IC with the Govt for safekeeping (Actually they confiscated my Pink IC! HMPH!) for 4 good years...
The day I returned my GREEN IC for my PINK 1, i stared blankly into it & thought: "IS this me?!"
I could hardly recognise myself liao!!
GOoosh.... Anyway, I am thankful it's all over!
Today, I collected my New PINK IC.... yes yes... I have reached the age whereby the Govt thinks that my face has changed!!! Heck!
Blast from the past!
Have u fallen off the chair?
Was I cuter in Primary Six or NOW?!
Kekek!
Oh! Yes, it's official - I am known finally for the name I am called! Phew!!
Thank you very much!
Btw, the photo got rejected so many times! This photo was taken the morning I was preparing to shave my hair!! Phew! Luckily they accepted this one! Else..... i fear to think the worst!
