License to travel

Early morning we had to carry Ethan while he was still in deep sleep as the Immigration's Office open at 8.00am. We arrived at Sungai Petani around 8.30am. Luckily not many people applied for the international passport. A lot of border pass applicant though - going to Thailand. We spent less than 30 min to complete all the process and what surprised us was we can take the passport 2 hours later. Initially daddy planed to collect it on Monday. I guess we do not have to do that - lucky! Of course, we didn't hang around in SP for 2 hours as Ethan hadn't took his morning bath yet. Furthermore we also need some rest.

After Ethan had taken his afternoon nap and lunch we headed toward the immigration office once again. This time there was a bit full of people inside the office. We were saying that luckily we took the morning session instead of afternoon one. We have to take number and waited for the call to collect the passport. Ethan was restless and wanted to walk around. As usual he was very friendly to people around him. He kept on smiling to the auntie and uncle. He even walked towards and called a baby girl laying inside the stroller "baby! baby!" repeatedly. He also touched the baby.

Finally it was our turn. Ethan refused to put his thumb print inside the passport last page. We tried to lure him and after struggling for a while, at last we managed to hold his thumb to stamp on the passport. The officer was asking whether is it that this morning Ethan also refuse to put his thumb print. Well, it was simply the reverse, that time he was very corporative and curious about it. It was easy in the morning.

Mission accomplished! Now Ethan has the license to travel around the world with his parents, except for Israel of course. Israel is the only country that Malaysian are not allowed to enter.
