How long will it take for passport renewal in Malaysia? | My hair drama

What a great Friday morning, woke up with great news, Kevin prepared almost everything on accommodation and transport for the coming trip. Suddenly he reminds me of passport!

Both of us look for our passport books when I found mine.

OMG! It was expired yesterday!

UTC Shah Alam is the nearest UTC after a Google search. UTC is open from 2:45 pm until 10 pm on Friday. I arrived UTC at 2:50 pm and everyone started to queue for getting their number, I felt so lucky as I am number 14!


Finally, it's my turn, but my pink hair was rejected at the immigration counter.

Officer request me to dye my hair into darker colour as current passport photo is in Black & White. If your hair is in a bright colour, they won't proceed as the outcome of the photo, the person will look bald.

The officer is very nice and kind lady, she reminds me it's better to return on the same day to continue to renew my passport because next week is a school holiday, and if I return on the same day, I don't need to queue for a new number, so nice of her!

Without thinking twice, I rush to the nearest Guardian and bought a box of Revlon Top Speed. After I made the payment, suddenly I remember a best friend of mine is a hair stylist, I called her and asked: "Where can I get temporary hair dye/ spray?", she replied to me: "You may look for them at Sunway Pyramid, the street at highest floor."

I believe you must be thinking why do I still want a temporary hair colour which I have bought the hair dye, right? Cause I just bleach and dye my hair on 13 March! I wish to keep the color of my pink hair. So I  rushed all the way to Sunway Pyramid, found the temporary black hair colour shampoo at the 3rd shops which I visited, the name Top Secret Studio.

Happily, rush home at 5 pm, and found out the pump was SPOILED!
Arrrrggghhhhh!

End up dye my hair with Revlon Top Speed, you just need 5 minutes, don't need to wait for 30 - 45 minutes and my hair turned black.




6.55 pm arrived at UTC Shah Alam, just noticed their break time from 7 until 8 pm. As she promised, I don't need to take a new number to queue, once 8pm I look for her at the counter, and I finally get my new passport at 8:40 pm.

Phew~! What A Day! 
Lesson learn.

Food Review: Der Backmeister

Welcome to D er Backmeister!!! Artisan German Bakery and Coffee Shop that serves traditional type of healthy bread. I have never been to a bakery that serve acidity coffees, delicious meals that allows you to choose types of bread, meat slices and mustard/ game by yourself. So, what's special about this bakery shop? They bake their breads in the shop daily, and I mean every morning since 3am. They never keep their bread for the next day. One of the reason I love this shop is their vintage feel of environments here. Once I stepped into Der Backmeister, the atmosphere here tells me they are nothing similar as any other cafe, you have to visit here by yourself to experience it only then you will able to tell me how you feel about this unique bakery type coffee shop. Oh, not to mention their services here, you will need to self-order at the counter, first thing you will know is greet by their friendly staff and warming conversations. You could even get their r
