A couple of weeks ago, we finally decided to go ahead and book a trip to Bangkok I haven't been out of Singapore ever since I was pregnant, ok technically ever since I knew I was pregnant! The last trip was probably when I was about 4weeks into the pregnancy.

HW wanted a break and we were both itching for good tom yum. This will be Keston's maiden trip as well so it took us alot of courage to decide that we were ready to bring him out of the country.

Yesterday, an innocent comment from the pils drove us into a frenzy. See we booked with our usual agent so there was no need for us to submit our passports and we'd sort of forgotten that passports have an expiry date. So yesterday afternoon, fil casually asked if our passports have got a 6mths validity. We were stunned but figured should be lah! Later at night, HW checked his passport and realised his passport expires next month!!! His panic button was depressed and he went slightly insane. Who on earth has a holiday booked on Monday morning only to find his passport will not work on Friday night!? The ICA webby said that it'd take 3 working days for them to re-issue a new passport. He rushed to ICA early this morning and luckily they were able to do an extension of 9mths, printed on a document, all for a cost of $15. I'm already dreading the immigration at Thailand cos they will probably take an hour to peruse the document! While over at ICA, HW also took new photos to make his new passport. The photographer insisted that his glasses were reflective and made him wear ah pek glasses! HAHAHAHAHA!

Today I am supposed to get started (and probably finish) packing Keston's things. I have a long list of must-brings. So small yet so troublesome!
