Mark of the Beast

A bit of drama over the weekend.

Mum's new Jazz (car) got scratched! Not just a teeny-weeny scratch, but a deep, long scratch stretching across the two doors on the right side. Clearly, evidence of MAN's wrath :(. We discovered the unsightly work of art on Sunday morning and suspect the crime had been committed the night before. Mum, Dad and I had gone to Old Town for bak-kut-teh and Dad had parked the car partially in front of one of the houses just behind the bak-kut-teh store (Heng Kee). We suspect that the owner of the house must have been really miffed and decided to take matters into his/her own hands. But with nothing more than our gut-feel and hypothesis to go on, Mum and Dad have decided to let the matter go. Admittedly, we were partly at fault for parking illegally to begin with.

The moral of the lesson: to all you bak-kut-teh lovers, don't go parking in front of others' homes.
