Valid ID

Sharing this 'very special' ID. Last year when I was in a terrible mood, I went to a spa salon for a facial and ended up signing a X-sessions package membership fee after going through some hardselling sales talk. And in return, I sent them my fancy pic and got this membership card. (which people refuses to believe it's me, my ex-officemates amusingly call it Rica) :p. Anyway it's quite cheaper to get in bulk so it's still good value for money, just that I dont like it that they still continue to 'pester' on me to top-up additional services whenever I go there for monthly visits.

Few weeks ago I went to Starhub to renew my cable line (recontract), queued for a long time and upon registration, they were denying me of my slot because I dont have a valid ID. I gave them my Employment Pass but they said they needed something that has my picture on it. They said better I come back again. Whooat! 'This is too inconvenient', I said. They argued back that it is my responsibility to bring my passport along with EP. Grrh I said 'you dont really expect people to be carrying their passports all the time right'. 'But sorry miss, we have to follow the rules'. I started emptying and flashing all sort of cards that I have in my wallet. I dont have my office ID that time. Suddenly found this membership card, I told them this is the only ID that I have right now with picture. They checked for a while, and said 'okay we'll accept this as proof of valid ID'. And viola, recontract was done.

Thanks to this card! :P I do hope to use something like this in the future for my passport hehehe.
