    ; Peak period is coming. Frends make an appointment first. Even u are cmg early in the morning there will be crowded during peak period. Make an appointment ao u dont have to wait 1 or 2 hours more.

    Photocopying service. ICA staff will direct u to "behind ICA". They r referring to a prominent corner shop @ Blk 468 North Bridge Rd. Use the pedestrian bridge

    all the seats are taken today. quite a lot people are standing up. apparently not because a lot of applicants come today, but also bcos they're bringing all their family members here.

    Yup. They aren't kidding about making an appointment. Expect to forgo 1~2 hours of your life if you don't take out 5 mins to make an appointment.
