New passport. New possibilities!

Also nothing tells me I’m ‘home’ like a Chinese auntie calling me ‘AH GIRL’, at the embassy. Auntie, I’m almost forty years old liao leh

Majulah!

@skinnylatte the Ah Girl chain!

@geraineon @skinnylatte family gatherings are when someone says "ah girl" and 8 different heads turn

@samantha @skinnylatte

This has happened before. Also "ah girl has started school!" "Which ah girl?" (Constantly needing to clarify) 😂

I just remembered that I used to have a red AND a blue passport. The blue one was only valid for travel to West Malaysia (after our countries’ separation)

As most of my early international travel was to see my family on the other side of the border, I had the blue one first, and then later, both (when my family wanted to visit East Malaysia and beyond. My first time on a plane was to Sarawak and Sabah!)

@skinnylatte Needing 2 passports to travel to different parts of 1 country is new on my “Consequences of colonialism" list

    @skinnylatte TIL that Singaporean passports are bright red

    @rodrigo there used to be a dark blue one you could get that was only valid for travel for Malaysia, after our separation

    I remember having one as a kid!
