20100320 here we go....

After numerous attempts of photo taking, shrink and crop, mommy finally manage to get a decent looking picture that kind of fulfill the ICA's requirements for a passport picture.

The unsuccessful attempt include blur pictures, background that are not white (mommy does not know how to use photoshop), shrunk result that does not fulfill the dimensions and size required by ICA.

After several tries, mommy finally figured out how to use the 'set white background (whatever)' to make a off white background looks white.  The final copy was smaller then ICA's required byte size, but they manage to process it! :)

So on a raining Saturday morning, everyone went to ICA to collect the passport.  Though we miss our appointment timing, the wait was not that long (though there was some technical glitch which does not show all queue numbers on all the screens which result in us nearly missing our queue number).

So now Kate has her first passport and she can now go overseas! :)

And here is the picture inside her passport.  Doesn't she look sweet? :P
