Takde la checklist apa sangat pun sbnrnye. Just that, when i first got here there're so much to do/to get/to register/etc. Rumah tu semua satu hal la kan. Itu namanya essential. Ni yang antara essentials n tak ni. I finally got my corporate card. So don't have to depend on KL's anymore. Minggu ni jugak dapat business card baru. No more "This is my old card. Just ignore the address and the telephone number but you can you the email address" speech. And finally got my Emirates ID. All in one week.
Punya la 3rd world tak 3rd world nye tempat ni... Malaysia dah berzaman ada IC. Sini baru nak implement. Dalam 2-3 tahun kebelakangan ni la dia implement. Expat pun kene ada ID ni. Yang peliknya, paham la kalau expat yg dh lama kat sini nak kene apply and pegi register bagai. But for new expat they should have done it together when they process the Resident Visa Application. But they didn't. So end up i got my visa for like 2 months and now only i got my ID. Itu pun bypass the process.
The process is suppose to be, you go to a certain typing centre, pay a certain amount of money, and this typing centre will apply for you. I don't quite know the 'where' and 'how much' because sume ni was done by the PR in my office. He even paid for my application which was not the case for previous new employee. Lucky me.
After that you are suppose to wait for THE SMS (which never came btw) and go to the assigned centre on a certain date to get your finger (and palm) print and picture taken. I didn't get mine after 1 month so i decided to call them up. So they fix my appointment (that's what they call it) on 20th March which is like 2 months away. I can't wait that long. Coz without this ID i cannot go for driving license test. Without the driving license i can't drive.
I even planned to go to Dubai or Jabel Ali to get this done. Coz one of my colleague got his done there in one hour. Then someone told me that she saw some advertisement that it can be done in some post office. And for ladies only in Al-Bateen post office. So i went there.
I reached the post office at 9.30. Went up and got my ticket. It says 3 10.30am. I guess my turn would be at 10.30a.m and in between 10.30 to 11.00 there're several people so i'm no 3. Ok. Sounds good enough. So i waited. Funny thing is, from the moment i got there, nobody was calling for any number. tak pe la. tunggu lagi sampai 10.30 since the card says 10.30 kan..
10.35 still takde sapa panggil sesapa. Ok.. this is weird. I need to get this done and return to my job. So i told myself 'takleh jadi ni. minah ni bgn je aku nk masuk. aku tak kira.' That's what i did btw.. kene jerit kejap dgn officer tu tapi aku buat muka stone jek. She took my fingerprint, palm print, side of the palm print, signature, and picture; i got my receipt. Not the ID. just a receipt saying that i've registered.
It's ok since that's all i need to get my license done. So finger cross until it's done.
