Identity (card) crisis
Sat, 20 August 2005, 6:18 pm by jadeiteDaddy forked out $300 for my new IC today. I feel rather horribly guilty. He didn’t even scold or chastise one bit, just let out a little sigh and poked me in the side, saying “Three hundred dollars!” That’s me. Guilty as sin of wasting Dad’s money. Sigh. I’d have felt better if he’d scolded just a bit. Double sigh.
It’s like they’re punishing me for having my wallet stolen for the second time. I pay three times the original price, and I have to wait three times the original waiting time. Three months before I can get my IC. And I’d forgotten to bring my baptism cert, so I couldn’t add in the ‘Danielle’ in my name. Roar. What a waste. When Bing becomes a lawyer I shall ask her to help me draw up the deed poll to change my name officially to the dialect one. Then I’ll fork out $60 to change the IC particulars. Double Roar.
I’m not carrying my IC around anymore. Going to color photocopy it and laminate it and stick that in my wallet.
We might be going to Chiangmai in December, after Israel. Joy! Much joy! I absolutely love love love Thailand. I shall bring Mom to have a good massage. Heh. Then maybe I can get a fake pair of Madrids, because I don’t think I look good enough in a pair of Madrids to get the real Birkenstocks. Man. I can’t wait to shop.
And I need a frickin’ job.
fwah. i’m honoured…somewhat.
okay, can wait like many more years.
strange, that’s what your aunt told me too, (when she first heard i was studying law) that i can help her change her name in future.
…strange lah you people. ;p
$300. Ouch.
Do you feel bad enough to pay him back with you angpow money? ;)
I fear I have spent all my angpow money :D
I’ll find some way to pay him back. Blah. Eventually.
