Renew Passport@Putrajaya Immigration Office


Today going to Malaysia Immigration Office to renew passport. I know that the Immigration department at PJ would be pack almost everyday. So I decided to try at Putrajaya.

Reach there around 0915. Not hard to find because there are signboard around. Best part, plenty of parking space and it's free.

Putrajaya Immigration Office is in Bangunan Chancery Place

A 1hour done banner

Convenient shop where you can take passport photo, buy drinks, snacks, photostat document.

Aroound 20+ people waiting their turn. Did you see the kiosk on the right? Non of them use the kiosk. Weird. User interface of this machine pretty decent. Simple Bahasa Malaysia and English available with graphics. Submit old passport, scan IC, thumbprint, $300, together with a passport photo and a photostat IC. Done with less than 5minutes. At the end of the process, you will get a printout which you need that for collection 1 hour later. OK, time to go lepak.

There are some restaurant, bank, convenient shop within walking distance.

Almost an hour later, I got my new passport. Cool! No complaint. No regret of choosing Putrajaya for renewing passport.

Tips: Prepare passport photo and photostat IC earlier can save you some time and few bucks.

My New Adventure @ ATV


Been busy for the past 1 week, and finally i got time to sit down and post up what i did on last weekend.

Thanks to the company's activity budget, before the end of March we still be able to have a wild activity with the gang ~ This time we'll challenge the ATV (All Terrain Vehicle) !

Early in the morning 6am...my alarm wake up me .....brush up and get prepare. Before heading to the meeting point, me and hubby went to the nearest McD for breakfast!

Rm6.25 for only 2 cup of coffee as breakfast?
Of Course NOT!

i just pay for 2 cups of coffee and i'll get 2 sets of the McD Big Breakfast~!

1 hash-brown, english muffin with chicken sausage and scramble eggs
a great start for the day!
thanks to the coupon below!

McD Free 2 Big Breakfast with minimum RM5 purchase

***
7.20am

We were already at the meeting point ~ Zoo Negara
The meetup time is 8pm, we were slightly too early to be there, just to avoid being late coz we stayed quite far from town.

see the parking rate for zoo negara
dunno why they make it so complicated with the 25 cents??!! so strange

zoo negara is still not yet open

tik tok tik tok
waited until 8am still we see no one is around
i was wonder where everybody goes?? or we did went to the wrong meeting point???
immediately i call the organizer ~ xiao hong
to confirm again on the meeting point
oh yes...we are the correct place
just that everybody is late
@.@

***
8.15am

Finally everybody is here and then we head to the atv park
its somewhere behind the zoo negara
quite a distance also (approximately 4.6KM)
took us abt 10-15 minutes to reach the destination
passing by a lot of kampung house and getting deep into the jungle

xiao hong were checking with the reception about our session
a slight misunderstanding in between
suppose we booked the 12pm session but the another reception ~ Meliza
said she'll change our session to 8am (thru email)
that's why we were here at 8.30am
but....this guy said the office send in the group information
our group is schedule at 12pm

no choice...the morning session already have 4 booking groups
we just have to wait till 12pm for our turn

see the gang are so interested with this giant ride

there's it a lot of ATV but still its not enough for our team after the 4 booking groups

this ride is for the briefing session
the guide will give briefing on how to operate it
if you know how to ride the motorcar, it shouldn't be any problem

plenty of time for us to "heah" around before our turn

this girl even brought her notebook there
but it was too jungle area, no signal for the broadband pun

a big pool behind the reception hall
and the picnic table by the pool side

that's the shower room attached behind the main hall
we were sitting here and chit-chatting for few hours just to wait for our turn
those came without breakfast are all the stomach started to make noise
* so if you plan to come in the morning session
make sure you had something before head here
there is no food stall around
just a small fridge with mineral water and soft drinks for sale

the simple open air shower room with just 1 pipe on the wall

the shower head

***
Finally at 11.30am

the guide called us up and gather for the briefing

after the short briefing we need to read and sign on this liability release form
to make sure you understand the rules and regulations of this activity

then the training start!

few rounds on the training trail
to make sure we understand the briefing and
be able to operate the atv

the first slope down the training trail
its aint easy ya

aunty
just back from pasar??

hey little boy...you look so small on the atv
cute~!

after few rounds on the training track
the first team is ready to go~!

the 3rd team group ~ hak yi zai ...hai yi lui
hak sek with the helmet

waving bye to the first team
i also get myself ready for the atv
do i look nice and cute with the little orange helmet? hehe

we too have to do training on the training trail
it is quite hard at first
feels like its not moving and i have to press so hard on the oil button
vroom vroom vroom! so loud and sounds powerful
very scare to press more fuel it will bang to somewhere

the steering wheel is also hard to turn
the guide keep asking me
"ah moi, pusing kuat kuat!!!"
arghhh...really have to use a lot of my arm energy to make a turn!!!

it was my first time on the atv
never ride on the motor car....and this sounds really new and strange
and scary!

*****

after few round on the training trail...getting myself used to the control
finally we were off road
to the jungle trail

hello sir
you also going to pasar?

team 2 on da way~!

hooray! me on the atv!
still new on the atv but im getting familiar with it

and even going wild with it......yuu huuu!!!

see the slope ahead is waiting for me

yoh! my slide slope on the atv...
err...wuuu..waahhhhhh

so exciting and fun and crazy~!!!!!

everybody already go thru the slope
eh..where is the dai koh? lost his way to the pasar? hehe

*****

we took the Package C...so our destination is to the Sofea Waterfall

it was a tough terrain to the waterfall...all the way going down slope
have to hold and press the brake so hard to avoid losing control
its kinda tension along the way..my finger and palm are getting numb
but on the atv...everything is on your own
no one can ever help you...so no matter how
i have to hold my breath and be independent
struggle thru the tough terrain
and finally we reach the Sofea Waterfall

just 5 minutes walk down to the waterfall
thinking to relax my arm and fingers
badly the sky started to rain
not even swim at the waterfall we already get wet
so we just simply washing our legs in the pool then get ready to head back to the base camp

everybody gets to worry will the terrain get even more challenging after the rain???
do we still able to control the atv nicely????
or we will washed away by the rain????

Expectedly the terrain gets really challenging after the rain
but unexpectedly we could even control better on the atv after the rain
coz it washed off all the sticky mud on the tyre
and now its clean and having more grip to pull and push

now we are all so-called "expert"
everybody starts to get speeding after the 1st round
see the mud pool just bang over it
see the high slope just press more fuel and bang bang over it
going down the slope..release more brake and slide down freely
getting ourself dirty with the mud is very fun!

*****

after 30minutes ride of atv
we were back to the base
Had our quick shower at the open-air shower room
a last pic with the huge giant rock on the training track

we didn't join the team for the late lunch
we went all the way to Desa Sri Hartamas

it was about 3pm.....had unlimited rounds of food
and finally we surrended!

Rm16 Nett per person on the buffet really worth
eat for the late lunch and yet skipped my dinner

that night.....till 12pm still our stomach are feeling very very full!!!!!!

*****

For more information on the ATV:

P/S: make sure you communicate well with the reception while booking to avoid misunderstanding as we had

If i happen to come back again for the ride...i'll choose the Package E !!!!!
