Me: "err.. ada apa lagi yang perlu saya bagi? salinan IC dgn slip SPM je kan?"
Reception Girl: "yup"
Me: (throws out my wallet and extracted my passport-sized photo from it) "nah ni dia"
Reception Girl: "hhmm.. ada sijil SPM tak? i tak tahu slip SPM boleh guna ke tak.."
A guy walks in. Indian male. Reminds me of Mr. Aiman Sureen. Turns out to be a consultant.
Reception Girl: "kejap ye.."
Reception Girl: "eh slip camni boleh guna ke tak?"
Consultant: "erm... ok je"
Me: " look, i have the cert inside here. do u want it to be photostated?"
Reception Girl: "..." (lookin' busy)
