I actually have a built in leveler too but I never use it... :lol:

I just can't understand why people will buy a leveller when there are a lot of ballheads with bubbles... unless it has some other specially functions

To me that seems like touble dipping. Unless the want to be super precise and have seperate vertical/horizontal levellers.

hehe she does that sometimes as well... she tells me to just put down the phone and she will just listen to what I am doing... talk about being crazy :lol:

yeap, the thing is, I called that bank after I realized my license was missing, talked to another teller (the one that released my money) and she said there's nothing there. and she did not even asked the other teller (the one who verified the check)... but she was so certain that I did not even bother going there :rolleyes:

anyway I am glad its here and I don't have to go through the very very systematic and easy process of getting another ID ;) ;) :rolleyes:

I hate to deal with government offices here...really!! it sucks

in fairness to our Land Transport Office here... they have streamlined the renewal process, they have put up Renewal centers in Malls too. it takes only 1 - 2 hours to renew your license now including urine tests and all... takes away any chances of corruption :D

but still, if you need a new license, or lost your license then you have to go to their main office and well...:lol:

No urine test here required. At least not any i know of :lol: I dont think you could ever take away chances of corruption in those countries. Too many people dont make enough money. Always a chance for corruption to sneak in. Those renewal centers are just easier to get to now :lol:

actually those renewal centers have almost no chance of corruption coz its so freaking easy to do everything already..its like 4 steps only.

1. get the form
2. go to urine test (beside the Land transport office)
3. come back and submit test and form
4. picture taking

then you wait for a few minutes and your ID card comes out. :lol:

and its air conditioned too so people tends to be more relaxed and not in a hurry hehe

do the same thing on their main office though and it could take forever...that's where those "Fixers" come in :lol:
