Passport Update 2

The problem with the information on the Internet is that you cannot be sure about its accuracy until it was too late and you have purchased a thing there and get your credit card number highjacked.
So that’s how I cannot be sure about the photos for my passport renewal. One website informed me to take photo in a small studio at Orchard Tower, while other website informed that SpongeBob SquarePants is gay.
Wait… sorry, wrong website. Other website told me that I can take my own picture as long as it has bright blue background.
But since my last passport-size photo makes me look like a permanent citizen of Planet Dorksville, I decided to take my picture at Orchard Tower.
So I went there. I took a break from my work so that I could go to Orchard Tower and conveniently walk around the tower for half an hour, without having any idea where I was going.

It’s because I could not find the name of the studio in the directory, and the security guard did not where it was. But fortunately I got the phone number so I finally found the place in the fifth floor, in the office area, which was unlisted in the directory. That’s how prestigious this place was, I think.
So I finally found the studio, which consisted of small camera and blue screen at the back. But I guessed that was enough. So I took my picture and paid $15 for 6 photos, then went home.


And oh yeah, I still looked like a dork in the photo.
