Wednesday Walk @ Trip to Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Malaysia
I was back home to Malaysia for almost three weeks; and I had a whole list of **MUST COMPLETE TASK** to do. Having planned my timing correctly, I had scheduled to drop by to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Putrajaya on Wednesday morning. Documents needed to be submitted for endorsement along with collection of code of conduct letter. Such is life the requirements or processes needed when one is traveling overseas for whatever reasons. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is our most important friend because without their endorsement , no one with a Malaysian passport can leave this country be it for leisure or work.

I've gone through this process early this year so I'm an *EXPERT* of what is to be expected from these officers here. 

**YES** ! I came prepared and no way I am going to pay those exorbitant fees to the blood sucking officers just so I can have these documents endorsed. It's all about pre-planning and ultimately it will save cost and time for myself.

Sitting at the waiting room, looking at everyone that is probably in the same situation as me, I smiled knowing that I'm calm today because I'm close to 80% completion of my task according to my set time line.

Let me share my observation of my surrounding :- 

**Plus points** :
i. The Consular waiting room has got public wifi for guest -> **YES**! So, here I am logging from my Mac & typing my post while waiting for my documents
ii. Speed of work process is so much faster now as compared to years ago -> Thumbs up to the Ministry for listening to the feedback given by its people

**Negative points** :
i. The voice speaker is announcing the numbers for each person. Although they have 4 Philips TV hung on the wall, none of it has got the number indication on it -> So, we're all seated in the main hall; waiting for our numbers to be called

Ultimately, my visit was a positive outcome because I got everything completed within 2 hours. Off I went home with a smiling face and truly proud of myself.

They have definitely improved over the years :)
If only more of the task can be done online, even better.

It is really great to be prepared and get in and out as quickly as possible.  It would be nicer if we didn't have to experience  not being prepared the first time we go!
