Renew Passport Malaysia 2022
It's 2022 and Jabatan Imegresen Malaysia has implemented online renew system. Duhhh finally.
Tapiiiiii still kena beratur panjang for pickup hmm
Now kalau nak renew passport wajib submit application online unless passport hilang or rosak. The issue is the system kadang tak stable and has error yang menguji kesabaran. They have long list of rule kat website tu semua kena ikut la.
I decided to take photo kat kedai then ask for softcopy senang sikit orang kedai tu dah resize siap-siap. Sekarang ni softcopy direct sent to email takde pakai cd dah.
Then opened Firefox browser, go to the website, click renew, bla bla, upload photo, click next, then nothing. Takde pape keluar tapi cannot proceed to next page. Try again few time, still same. Resize photo, try again pun sama jugak. Geram betul.
Tukar browser Chrome try again sama jugak stuck situ je after upload photo. Lepas tu try la guna browser Edge sebab well, website kerajaan selalunya compatible dengan IE/Edge je kan. Haaa betul la lepas upload gambar elok je ada keluar error message size gambar tak ikut spesifikasi. Apesal kat Firefox and Chrome tak keluar error message?! Buat orang confuse sebab stuck page tu je.
Rupanya need to resize again my photo so I used this site and finally boleh proceed to payment page. Buat online payment and done. Rate masih sama as 5 tahun lepas, RM200 valid 5 tahun.
Tunggu je confirmation email and lepas tu can go pick up at selected pejabat imigresen. Kalau in three days tak dapat any email boleh terus datang pejabat.
Thing to bring untuk pickup passport online renewal:
- Passport lama
- IC
- Resit bayaran (hardcopy, please print)
Lepas few hours I dapat email, excited cam wahh laju process ingatkan 3 hari. Sekali baca content email macam ni pulak
“Permohonan telah TANGGUH/SIASATAN kerana CAP JARI TIDAK SAH”
Alahai. So I decided to datang je terus imigresen esoknya untuk check this issue, bawak je 3 document tu. I decided untuk datang UTC malam sebab dengarnya orang kata malam tak ramai sangat orang. Reached there at 7.15pm, kaunter tutup gelap je will open back at 8pm. So buat urusan lain dulu then I came back tepat pukul 8pm line depan pintu tu dah panjang urgh.
Rupanya takde masalah datang je they will process time tu jugak. Patutnya kalau takde issue akan dapat email
“Permohonan telah LULUS”
Tu maksudnya passport dah ready and printed, pemohon tinggal amik je. Cepat sikit la urusan sebab tinggal verify and sign je so maybe waiting time less than 30 minutes depending on your no giliran.
Mine lama sikit la sebab they baru nak process kan so I got my passport after sejam tunggu. No more ambil gambar or buat payment at the counter haa at least part tu senang sikit dah cut a lot of waiting time. 9pm dah keluar dari UTC dengan passport baru.
A year later. . .
Just realized my last post here is on Feb 2021, exactly a year ago.
I received some email recording the blog baru la teringat this safe space of mine.
Fast forward setahun kemudian, we still fighting COVID19 virus. Dah lebih 2 tahun so I guess it is our new normal. Face mask, social distancing, doing things remotely is our way of live now. Now we are facing a new Omicron variant with higher infection rates so cases are back to 10k daily. Sigh.
But we have vaccine now! I have received mine, siap need a booster shot cause the virus keep on mutated. Dah boleh keluar negera with strict SOP need to follow. We are slowly back on track, takde la hanya terkurung sebab vaccine reduce severity, alhamdulillah.
As for my life, this year goal is to take better care of my self in all aspect: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual. I hope you are working on your own goal too. May Allah ease everything for us.
How have you been??
Hey there! I am still here guys.
Still all over the place, procrastinate things and regretting it later. There's times I would feel like I wasted my time.
2020 is such a tough year. Suddenly COVID happened. Since all of us is forced to stay at home most of the time, i am able to do some reflection on life and nasib baik mampu untuk pujuk hati to become a better person.
2021 condition masih sama tapi so far I feel much better sebab macam dah pandai control hidup, tak all over the place sangat.
Hope you too able to feel better despite all uncertainty during pandemic.
Lombok Bali Escape 2018 Day 2 & 3
1 August 2018
Time to move to Bali. As budget traveller mesti la pilih the cheapest way going there which is by Ferry. It is only Rp46000 and google kata it would be around 5 hours journey. We predict that we'll arrive at around 3 or 4 the if the take the 9am ferry.
But the reality is dah dekat maghrib baru sampai Bali. We have arranged supir to pick us up. Sebenarnya nak pergi jalan-jalan kat Tanah Lot tengok sunset tapi apa pun tak sempat. Singgah makan then terus proceed to check in hotel in Kuta, Bali.
Since the hotel is few meter from the beach, jalan-jalan kejap around that area and our day is done.
2 August 2018
Hari ni kitorang jalan-jalan around Bali. Start our day with visiting the Uluwatu Temple. Kuil ni terkenal dengan kecak dance, the traditional balinese hindu dance. Since we are here in the morning tak dapat la tengok kecak dance yang ada belah petang je. Pak supir baik belikan tiket masuk so dapat murah sikit.
Then off to Pantai Pandawa
Padang-padang Beach, cantik pantai dia tapi sesak sikit ramai orang surfing
Bali vibe is really something, macam tenang je padan la ramai orang suka.
Then tengah hari tu kelaparan ajak pak supir makan. Dia bawak ke satu restaurant sedap ni sampai sekarang teringat-ingat ayam betutu khas bali dia.
Lepas tu terus pak supir hantar to jetty to catch last ferry to Nusa Penida. Sampai je Nusa Penida, we just wanted to check in and rest but nope another drama happened. That's on another post, hopefully dapat update this year la hahahahaha
Till then.
Lombok Bali Escape 2018 Day 1
Exactly a year ago, it was the very first #wanderbabes👯, trip of just two minah just want to escape the adult world.
We booked flight tickets to Lombok lama dah when AA having their zero fare promo on 2017 but only start planning few months before travel date. I thought it would be a simple tour around the town and island, didn't expect we will experience a lot of unexpected thing.
Plan kept changing due to so many reasons banyak gila version of rough itinerary we had. Even dah book hotel pun tak finalize lagi tak pasal kena cancel. Akhirnya we decided to include Bali in our plan sebab teringin nak visit Nusa Penida. Geram tengok gambar kat sana semua cantik.
31 July 2018
Sampai airport dalam 12 tengahari, pak supir dah menunggu. Masuk je kereta terus dah ada places to visit.
Actually we don't expect to visit this Lombok traditional village tapi dah dia bawak kita turun jelah tengok-tengok. Kampung ni tak jauh dari airport.
Lepas tu menghala ke Pantai Kuta Mandalika. Sebelum jumpa pantai singgah masjid besar hujung jalan to pray and freshen up.
Pastu dibawa ke Bukit Merese. Kat google kemain cantik bukit tu tapi bila kitorang sampai kering-kontang.
Salah timing pergi masa musim kemarau.
Disebabkan pak supir takut kami sesat tak sampai atas, dia panggilkan seorang budak yang ada kat situ yang bawa kita naik ke atas merangkap jurugambar. Kita boleh je bagi duit belanja seikhlas hati kat budak tu. Ingat jauh sangat sebab dia risau sesat la jadi apa-apa la padahal bukannya jauh pun mendaki sikit je.
Kat sini dapatlah banyak sikit gambar sebab photographer tu rajin betul pandai je suruh kita pose macam-macam gaya.
Then bergerak ke Tanjung Aan. Terus order air kelapa sebab penat kan memanjat bukit.
Biasalah bila dah duduk-duduk ada la orang datang berjualan souvenir gelang la beg rotan la kain batik la. Since this is our first day memang takde la nak shopping. Tapi sampai sekarang menyesal sebab akak tu offer murah beg rotan bulat tu sebab dah petang nak tutup kedai katanya. Padan muka berlagak lagi beria tolak tawaran tu sebab ingat akan jumpa lagi tawaran yang lebih kurang sama on the last day.
Lama lepak bertenang kat situ sampai nak dekat maghrib tak sempat singgah other places so back to Mataram, cari makan, beli sim card lokal then baru check in hotel.
Sekian hari pertama di Kuta Lombok.
