Here's my identification card (IC) photo at age 30 (with some digital touch-up of course). Friends who were out with me recently would have noticed a difference - my permed hair. I actually had my hair permed for the photo-taking. The reason is not vanity or having too much money on my hands. I wanted to make sure that my IC would show a look that I would have more or less permanently. Of course, I would certainly hope that I would look slimmer in ten years time in comparison to the present.
Well, for the past 13 years, I have changed so much. This previous IC photo was taken when I was just 17 years old. I had this wierd hair band, no teeth smile, unpolished look. But I still looked better because I was 3o kgs lighter then - I am not joking I was much much slimmer then, I could fit in to a size M. Now my usual size is XXL. Anyways, since my IC photo is going to probably last me till I die (which I hope I don't go beyond 80). I have to make sure that at least I stay almost the same or better than the photo above.

My resolution after getting my new IC, which also symbolises that I turned the big 3-0 would be that I would only want to look better and better after 30. I find that people who sleep more and exercise more tend to look and feel younger. Maybe I should start to find myself a curfew right now.
Sleep at 12am each night and exercise 30 minutes three times a week?
Let me try.
Cheerful CC.

In the end, I told her that I will get my Chinese name formally changed to the existing one via a lawyer's office and this document called deed poll. Sigh, I really hope that everyone in the service line should just practice one thing - which is to listen first before speaking.
This lady and the other one from HDB parking would keep rattling and rattling on without stopping. When actually, I just need to clarify something with them and that would be able to resolve the issue on hand.
Shucks!
