Upgrading Driver's License @ Pos Malaysia

A friend recently renewed her driver's licence and showed me that it is now in a new card format instead of the laminated ones we all have been using, and apparently this new licence has been implemented since mid 2013.

Pink in colour,  with English translations, I thought it was a great improvement and wanted one immediately. I had 5 years remaining on my current licence and immediately felt left out that I had to wait for it to lapse before I could renew and get the new licence.

However, after enquiring at the counter, the staff informed me I can extend my existing validity and still get the new licence.  Great news!

After checking out the Electrolux sale in Jaya One, I chanced upon a post office and it had no customers! I immediately walked in to upgrade to the new licence and pay for a year's renewal fee, which is RM32. 

I signed a simple check form, handed over my old laminated licence and IC for him to process. A few taps at his computer, and the licence was ready! The photo on the licence will be according to the photo on your IC. The whole procedure took less than 10 minutes - totally impressed with the efficiency and speed.

Kudos to the Transport Department for this initiative! According to this website which details the look and feel of the new licence, our licence will now be accepted in 150 countries!

Malaysian Passport Renewal (UTC Sentul)

Image
Initially,  my plan was to renew my passport at the Plaza Glomac Kelana Jaya branch,  and upon arriving at 745am and queuing behind about 80 people or so,  I thought it was going to be a breeze.  By 8am the office had yet to open.  Observing the queue, the office could process about 30 passports an hour. It was dark on the inside and I had no way of investigating without leaving my place in the queue. Soon,  a man behind me went and enquire and returned telling his wife they should go to the office in Jln Duta. And they left.  After calling the 0380008000 number listed on the site,  I was informed by the boyfriend aiding me from home that the systems in KJ branch were down. Soon after, a man came and make an announcement but I could not catch what he said. In  conclusion,  I left for Putrajaya,  figuring I could get lucky. Ringing the official number to check if the quota of the day had been hit,  I received no answer. Guess the only way to find out was to go there personally.

Gossip Nails & Waxing, Jaya Shopping Centre

Image
We had some time to kill in the afternoon and decided to drop by and see the progress of Jaya mall and check out its new tenants. Browsing the third floor which is pretty quiet at this point I spotted a beauty parlour which offers manicure and waxing services, as well as threading! While the boyfriend waited for a juice at the kiosk in front, I popped in for a quick eyebrow tidy-up. Ten minutes later, I had neat brows, and to my satisfaction, all for RM5. Here's the current price list, and the boutique's front: Definitely will recommend the threading services. L2-09A, Jaya Shopping Centre, Jalan Semangat, Sekysen 14 46100 Petaling Jaya 03 7931 7453
