Time for Didi's passport!

It's time for us to apply for Didi's passport. In less than a month, he's going to make his 1st trip out of town. We've been trying hard to get a good photo of him. Given how this little baby is so much like spidey, hardly having a moment of stillness (except when he's sleeping which obviously wouldn't work either since his eyes are closed), we have been snapping & snapping since months ago. None of the photos were satisfactory enough so we just held back.

We knew that we couldn't delay it much further, so we decided to just send in the best of the worst! But of course deep inside we knew that they just couldn't make the cut. True enough, ICA email came back: REJECTED.

So last week, we activated the entire family, DW, me, Jill, Ah Kong, Ah Ma & our helper to distract didi so we can just get that 1 photo. Pots banging, old folks calling out "didi here, didi here", cheh cheh screaming: "didi look at me!", whatever that worked, we tried. Basically the household was in RARA mode and it was chaotic. I was so relieved when I received the email from ICA: your child's passport is ready for collection.

Adventures of our very last attempt:

Oh my! What's all that ruckus for???

So should I laugh or cry?

I've no idea what these people are trying to do, but it's incredibly boring

I'll give it my best shot now and they had better stop the noise.
