1511 is a number that is more or less seared into my brain.
It was the year that the Portuguese took Melaka. This year was drilled into my memory from all the exercises / multiple choice questions that we had to do in school.
Then a colleague got a car with that number plate. I never mentioned it before, but that made his car plate so easy for me to remember. We haven't worked together for years (both of us have left the company), but just last weekend, I saw his car again. I saw it near the market... I've seen him there before so I know he goes there once in a while (as for me, I go there very often because it's the market closest to my place). I didn't see him last weekend, but I saw his car, and I remembered it immediately. The only way I could have been mistaken would be if there was an identical car model with the same number, but different alphabets. Small chance.
And today, I see the number again.
Which is what prompted this useless post. :P
