Presents for me and Passport Pix

Slept early yesterday and woke up early today to do chores I set myself to do.  

i.e. :

1.  Wash Clothes
2.  Collect parcel from Post Office
3.  Take passport size picture
4.  Buy groceries
5.  Eat lunch alone
6.  Dry clothes
7.  Call agent

Did 5 out of 7 ! Not too bad. Didn't buy groceries and didn't call agent only.

After washing clothes stuffing dirty clothes into washing machine , I left immediately to collect my parcel. 

I know, you wanted to call me stupid , should have left the collecting part for later, and should go take passport picture first! But one of my friends told me that I can take passport picture from the post office, so I went to hunt down my post office.

But damn unlucky, the post office I went to is very rundown, BAD SERVICE (380 BOURKE STREET POST OFFICE) and I don't want to waste money for pictures that have high probability of being ugly.

Here is the big parcel that my bestie gave me. Been carrying it around the city cause I was tooooooo lazy to put it back into my house, go back out and come home again. Brought it along when I went to take passport pictures, too!

Inside the box :

Tore off the wrappings:

A note stuck inside:

LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF PRESENTS MY BESTFREN , PANDA, GAVE ME!

 Seriously....eventhough I like presents ...receiving too much will make me feel uneasy.

Really love this heart shape purple necklace ! =]

LAST BUT NOT LEAST - my passport size photo. HAHAHAHA

I am not suppose to smile . But I think I did?

But seriously, why must our passport pictures be UGLY ! Cannot smile and all, plus if you travel, random strangers (casino guards/passport counter people) see your passport for identification/age check...see all your ugly side/angle (some people look better taking pictures from the side/ or top angle) ...talk about bad first impression!

I think everyone looks either dumb-ish or angry when they dont smile AND

JUST LOOK AT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PHOTO FOR MY IELTS !

It was a long productive day and I am sleepy thats I don't think my blog post has much substance.
But damn sad, I felt like I kena ripped off only. The person who took my passport picture was using a lousy Canon camera! Not saying Canon is lousy, but its a super old model. Should've gotten Eddie to take my picture against my white walls using my own camera :@ AUD20 MAN!!!

Ah,, I hate goodbyes.
