License to Drive

Yay got a driving license upgrade from the big red P status to a Certified Driver License. I was supposed to renew the license on 20th Feb but I will be away and busy by then, so I renewed it earlier. Apparently you are allowed to upgrade your license 1 week before the due date but this comes with a cost. Instead of getting the standard 3 years, your prematurely renewed license will be only valid for one year. But on the good side you'll pay around RM50 instead of the standard RM105. The CDL is the pink laminated card with the P removed, something like this:

heh u got ur licence later than me? i renew mine on the valentine, a day before u and it shall last for 5 years muahaha

cannot smile meh, i smile boh haha, usually emotionless face pic give bad impression bah

mine due on the 20th Feb ba... but i'm leaving earlier so I had to renew it earlier hence the premature limited 1 year validity...

yours expires on Valentine's right? thats why u can renew it according to schedule and get the 5 years validity...

yeah cannot smile. i know it gives bad impression but being detained a the Ozzie airport for having a face not similar to the IC is not a pleasant thing (smile in IC but not smiling in real life). Airport worldwide agree that you cant smile on passport. Oh take this into consideration:

I smile in IC, but you know I dont smile by default, so... -_____-

is it haha my smile face in accepted by china, then NZ, then Aus, so i suppose in reality they can recognize u whether u r smiling or not, and of cos nobody asked u to put one of those cheesy smile on your ic or passport pic bah.

I always under the impression that u have ur licence earlier than i am ie maybe u get your before spm haha

haha well abt the license thingy...

yeah i got it later a bit since um, well, im not sure if i told u abt it but a day after I passed the jpj driving test, the house of the dude who was responsible to produce my license got burnt down to the ground. Same area pulak tu... haihz... hence I got the license more than 2 weeks later instead, in mid February instead of late January :/
