Mysterious driver

Some ppl believe in Feng Shui, some believe in Astrology, some believe in Luck, some believe in Black magic, etc….but somehow, I am quite curious what this driver believes in.


For few months, myself, Master Eugene and Tan Sri have been observing this driver of this Silver Myvi. We first noticed the car when it was parked very 'senget' (diagonally) in the parking box…in between many cars in our office parking lot. That was when we took note of the car num plate. We call this Silver Myvi 6xxx (cannot reveal the number la, later my car got scratched how?) Tan Sri teased, "Aiyo, even Miss World (referring to me - my nick name) who just drove for few months also can park nicely.



Lately, this Silver Myvi has found a favourite spot to park. But we don't understand is the way it is parked. Everyday, without fail, this Silver Myvi will take 2 lots, see below picture.
Once, I even parked next to it, so that I can take a look inside, a Tigger soft toy placed near the gear box, an orange/yellow sterring lock, seats nicely covered with laced cloth….hmmm…..ok ok, this girl must be quite neat. Road tax due in Aug (if I dun remember wrongly).



Then 2 weeks ago, Tan Sri SMSed me around 9am+, I was still at home, rushing for work. SMS read : I know who is the driver of 6xxx. It's a guy ! Very siah suey (disgrace) !



When I reached my cube, Tan Sri told me, he saw a guy with hair length till somewhere below ears, both level and parted in the middle…quite tall….I asked are "u sure?", he said should be la, coz that guy doesn't look like the driver of BMW parked near that Myvi. (Well, Tan Sri didn't exactly see that guy came out from Myvi…so I was feeling a little skeptical….until last Friday, I left early, 6.30pm and was putting my laptop bag into my back seat when I saw a tall guy which fits the description of the mysterious driver. He was looking at my way, and I pretend to turn away, he kept walking and walking….yes, towards that Silver Myvi...I pulled out my camera hp, wanted to snap his pix…he turned my way (I was two rows in front and away from him, he was about my 5 o'clock). A bit kelam-kabut, I went into my driver's sit and rolled down my power window, he was still outside and about to go in…I quickly flip my my camera Cyber-shot cover…aiya…too late, he already went in. Cheh…but actually I also dare not snap coz scared he might see me :P Later he thought I admire him, chia lat.



Haha a little excited, I wanted to SMS Tan Sri but I was running late for my dinner appointment, so I started car engine and drove towards the car park exit….oh…there he was, staring at me while he drove pass…ooops ! I hope he didn't see what I almost did.



I still don't get it, why this guy must park at the same exact spot and it must be on Row '18' (satt fatt - sure prosperous?).



I got irritated, one day (before I saw the driver) I went to complain, I told the security guard about this car selfishly taking up 2 spaces. Hello…what if later we have more cars, don't u think you're inconsiderate? As I started to walk towards office building, I saw the guard cycled over…I left it at there….then next day, I went to work….I was parking my car (this time surprisingly, 6xxx parked at row 17 and I parked at 18). I think the guard probably mistaken me for that 6xxx coz 6xxx did not park at his usual spot. But when the guard saw I parked nicely, he turned and stopped right in front of 6xxx. I pretend to walk past and 'kepo', the guard asked me "This car right?" Me "Yes, dunno why always park like that, is it a girl/guy?" Guard, "Ya…bla bla bla…" (Gee, I don't understand his English, FYI, we have bunch of foreign workers as security guards, they are Nepalese, Vietnamese, Burmese….dunno cannot tell from their skin colour). I just smiled and walked away while he was busy jotting something on his little notebook.


So until today, for at least 3 months (since we first noticed) this 6xxx is still happy to be parking in 2 parking boxes….and I am still curious why he does that.
