Where is Xiaofen?
Lao Gong came home one day and recounted to me excitedly, “When I was driving home, a lot of drivers peeped into our car and looked disappointed.”
“Huh? Why?” I enquired unbelievably. How can that be? What have he done?
He replied, “Because everyone looked into our car and they can’t find you. I know inside their minds they are asking themselves this question, ‘Where is Xiaofen?’ That’s why!”
Oops! He trapped me yet again. I can’t help but smiled back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above episode takes place because Lao Gong has just changed our car license plate. For what?
For aesthetic reason of course, you should know it by now.
Our original car license plate is black in colour with silver border and silver lettering.
While driving on the road one day, he realized that black license plate looks its best with white lettering, not silver, not the standard one we are given. And it must not have border too. What is the diff, I think! It is just a license plate. He simply refused to settle with the standard and ordinary one.
Suddenly, we found ourselves spending seventy bucks ordering an almost identical car plate. (ie. Identical to me, but not to him of course, a small difference makes all the difference to him.) I’m not this particular and to be curt, I’m not so fussy.
However I really have to love him for this. Lao Gong personalized it further by requesting the shop to help us imprint our names at the bottom border of our car plate, so instead of just seeing the car license plate number, others would also get the pleasure of knowing us - by putting the faces in the car to the names shown on the plate. First there is the car decal episode, and now there is this declaration which is pretty AA (attract attention) in nature. Only he is capable of all this.
Get the picture? (pun intended.)

Yes, your Lao gong was right, it looks nicer in white wordings. The imprint of your names on the bottom border looks cool!
