Let's get personal

I'm not sure if this piece of news has eluded Victor. But it was reported in the ST several days ago that the gahmen is looking into allowing motorists personalise their car number plates.

Victor must be thrilled to bits! We know how insanely, obscenely and hamsup-ly obsessed he is over the figure 69! In the blogosphere, he has so shamelessly let it known that his car number plate is - what else? - SEX 69 4U.

But let's come back to personalised number plates, also known as vanity plates. Was it not too long ago that the gahmen decided to disallow vowels in our car numbering system to prevent hamsup people from mischief?

So, it seems that our gahmen has proven, yet again, that they are capable of doing U-turns on policies formulated, never mind that there has been some murmurs that this change-about in the numbering policy is largely motivated by money. Of course, a vanity plate would cost you some money; maybe an arm and a leg. We know very well, that anything that is PERSONALISED ain't cheap.

Kudos to the gahmen, nevertheless. We are slowly, but surely transforming from a "fine" city to a crude fun city, are we not? If the number plates below don't draw a smile (maybe a frown, depending on who's actually reading it) on your face , I dunno what will .... hehehe..

  • OLD1 E (Oldie, but goodie. Chun See can consider this... hehe)
  • CHU88 Y (Chubby)
  • GR800 BS (Great Boobs)
  • GR01 N (Groin)
  • PEN15 ES (Penises)
  • A55 I (Ass one)
  • FU2 (F-you, too)

And, of course SEX69 4U. LOL.

They dig in on the imp things like casino, national library, bus fares increases, foreign talents, etc. and give you some scraps like car number plates and R-movies, and you become so happy.

Did you come up with those fun plates, Chris? Other than the SEX69 4U one, I mean? Quite original, I must say (only if you did).

But then again, why bother with using such cryptic plates? Some WOLS people may not understand them. Might as well spell them out in full and in clear. After all, they are gahmen-approved wan mah. Haha.

On the contrary, I think it's a bad idea. It will give rise to some confusion. And it may not be easy to remember some plate numbers, especially those say, are involved in hit and run accidents and u need eye-witnesses to help in the investigation. Not unless the number plate is SEX69 4U. LOL.

Victor:
I thot you like all things cryptic? You think they would allow those crude plates meh? Pse lah, get real. They have no place for straight-laced Singapore....

Victor said...

>They have no place for straight-laced Singapore....

Sigh, that's so you - always so contradictory wan. Surely you mean "They only have place for straight-laced Singapore...."

They can stand nonsensical irritations like these, which are not exactly "little".

Victor said...

Sorry, I meant "They can't stand nonsensical irritations like these, which are not exactly "little". Hehe.

Haha, if got no regulations on the number and order of letters and numbers, I wouldn't mind having a plate like this:

YRU 50 JS

Victor said...

Shilpa, are you talking about me? 'Cos Chris is many, many years before 50 (or so he claims).

And btw Shilpa, I'm not only impressed with how a non-Chinese like you could whip out a mean plate of Chinese Lor Mai Kai, your knowledge in the colourful language of the Hokkien is also pretty impressive, hor? LOL.

Oh, take no notice of Victor. He's very sensitive one. He'd get numb after a while... he always does. Hee!
