where is my IC?

i felt so cheated for the past few days all because of my pink ic. argH!!!!

i took an hour bus ride to woodlands last Sat to apply for the wireless broadband service for this blackish sliver precious. no worries, i did not go down just for that because i had my guitar lessons there too. so, i happily thought i could kill 2 birds with one stone but i was WRONG!!!!

"sorry miss, we need to have your ic to check if your living address is the same as your mother,".
"but i have my ezlink card. you can check for my particulars with that bar code,".
"sorry, we cant. you have to come back on another day,".

ARGH!!!!! so much for the trouble.

and today, i went to the post office to get a pre paid card and that officer asked me the same question. once again, the ever brilliant karen never brings her ic along unless it is an urgent or important matter. so i wasted a trip again.

this is so frustrating!!!! when i was much younger, i was able to do much with the ezlink card but now, i cannot live without my ic. those were the days.....
