Alissa's Trip to ICA
I bought my little sweetie pie to ICA on Sat to take photo and apply a passport for her. Having stayed at Lavender for the last 18 years, silly me still decided to go on a Saturday afternoon.Well, I thought that S'poreans will be gracious enuff to let my little princess jump queue at the photo-taking place since she is only 5 wks old, but as usual, everyone managed to miss seeing her. Same case as when a pregnant lady boards the train, everyone starts sleeping.
So poor mama and bb had to stand in the queue under the scorching spot lights for 2 hours before our turn came. I even have to feed her standing up and carrying my bag and stuff. hmmmf... finally i was 3rd in line and the story begins..
Staff : Mdm, who taking huh?
Me : my baby
Staff : that will be $5.25
Me : can i pay later, I am feeding her, no extra hand to take my wallet out.
Staff : u have to pay before we take her photo, its the rules
Me : i will pay, but i can't reach my wallet
Staff : okie, but later when you turn, u have to pay before we take her photo
Me : *as if i so cheapskate* okie
finally, my princess turn..
Staff : How many months?
Me : 5 wks
Staff : Huh, so young?? Make passport for wat?
Me : Travelling??
Staff : okie, you put her sit upright on the baby chair
Me: huh? 5 wks how to sit??
Staff : oh, cannot sit yet ah.. than u hold her using 2 fingers behind her neck loh..
Me : okie *starts adjusting baby*
Staff : okie, sit still and smile at the camera.
Me : *confused, she talking to me or precious?* anyway i told precious to big smile for the camera.
Staff : aiyoh, can u ask your daughter not to stick out her tongue?
Me : huh? she 5 wks how to understand??? anyway, i told my precious to keep her tongue in her mouth *as if she understands*
Staff : can you lift her head higher, i want to see her neck.
Me : huh, neck? anyway i do as per instructed, but my little bundle of joy has not much of a neck to talk abt...
Staff : Can you ask your daughter to hold still?
Me: huh? i try k? *this lady obviously have no kids b4, how to get a baby to understand so many instructions??*
Staff : okie, hold still *SNAP*
Me : phew, finally....
Alissa : *starts crying*
after 2 long hours, we finally have 4 nice photos and when i went back to show off to the aunties, they all say "eh, why look like boy?" hmmmf...
