while in singapore, i have been plotting to get one for cecilia. i think it will be a cool thing to do and also a nice breakaway from singapore where everything is so regulated. `moi moi' is the nickname her family and close relatives call her. after some self brainstorming, i thought the name would be perfect for her. it would so much nicer than all the boring `ken 88' or `rose 168' we typically see in other customized plate cars. only a select few and those in the inner circle will understand the meaning of moi moi.
therefore, one of the things i did on the quiet once we bought our car is to go to vicroads to have this name registered to us. it really didn't cost me as much as well. 3 days after the registration of the plate, it came in the mail. i needed to keep everyone in the dark including the kids as they are the worst secret keepers (as i found out the hard way previously)
this morning, under the pretext of taking the car to the workshop for a quick fix, i have the car plate replaced. i showed cecilia later in the evening but her reaction was not the `whooohooo.....' i anticipated. she was rather muted. i had expected her to shower kisses at me on the spot.
i hope she likes it nevertheless and takes good care of the car.
(out with the old and in with the new)
