I’ve always toyed with the idea of having a car that I could name Jiffy. When there was rumour going around a number of years ago that Singapore was going to adopt the American system of being able to put anything on your car plate number, I was elated. Not only would I be able to name it Jiffy if I were to purchase one, I could make the car plate number J1FFY or something! Of course, now that the cost of owning a vehicle is Singapore is enough to purchase a bungalow in the most rural part of Japan, I probably never will buy one even if the system does come into place.
Recently though, I bought a second-hand Nissan mini-vehicle. No, I am not one of those wanting to lead the Singaporean Dream (i.e. to own a car). I wouldn’t have gotten it if my boss didn’t decide to send me to the mountains for training for two months. I would rather save that money to do something more useful. But at least I have something to call “Jiffy” now. So meet Jiffy!
Why I wanted to call it Jiffy is simple. I thought I can always say “I’ll be there in a Jiffy!” and not be lying even if I were to run late. Perhaps some automaker should name their next vehicle “Jiffy.” Whichever maker it is, please give me the car as a prize. Perhaps I should patent this idea.
On a separate note, I think I have too many green stuff. My Aquos smartphone is green, my Havaianas beach sandals are green, my notebook is green, and now my car is green. I should avoid wearing my green T-shirt and bermudas when driving.
HAHAHHA Jiffy is such a cute name. And omg i didn’t know about the bungalow part, perhaps it’s time to convince my parents to move to the countryside in japan after retirement to enjoy slow life LOL.You are lucky you get sent to the mountains for training man, able to enjoy natural air, mountain scenery and the heavenly hot springs. Awesome, keep the posts coming in 😀
i guess you could say you’re making others turn green with envy? :p
It’s probably obvious but as long as you don’t get a green hat, you’re fine. Oh, your WordPress theme’s green too! Anyway, congrats and well done on the new car! JIFFY!!!
