In preparation for our visit to Hong Kong possibly at the end of the year, our baby needs to apply for an Australian passport. 為準備年底可能到香港一遊(大人要跟寶寶,不可以說回港),寶寶要申領澳洲護照。 After we the parents filled in the application form, we needed to have the baby's photo taken and went to a camera shop. The biggest problem was that our baby smiled at the staff's camera by habit, like looking at our phones, but passport photos supposedly only allow a neutral facial expression. The staff decided to turn to the next customer before returning to us, but right at that moment our baby stopped smiling and my wife told the staff to snap a shot quickly. The staff guaranteed that the last shot would definitely meet the passport requirement, so we've passed the photo step. 填申請表後,先要為寶寶拍護照相片,為求專業,我們光顧一家攝影店,寶寶最大的「問題」,是見到店員拿相機時笑容流露,就像我們平時拍照般,但護照相片是不容展露笑容的啊。店員因為不想耽誤下個顧客,正開始招待其時,寶寶有一刻歛起笑臉,太太趕緊着店員捕捉那一剎,結果是連店員也說這幀相片保證合規,算是過了第一關。
