Parking Lot No

Normally how u guys remember where u park your car? Especially in a huge multi storey carpark.

My method is very simple. I will take a snap of the parking lot no with my handphone.. It will safe the trouble trying to recall the exact location or searching for the car later on.

Few years back, before I own any cameraphone, I used to jot down the carpark lot no inside my PDA. If I didn't bring my PDA together with me, I will type the number and save it inside the SMS draft of my handphone.

  3. Yeah! I have been doing this too!! If PDA, i will use "Diddle Bug" to jot down; nowadays using Treo, i just snap a photo of the car with the parking lot number - so much easier to locate my car after some 6-hour lepaking at the shopping mall! ;)

  4. I think one of the thing that we train our kid since young, if they are growing up in the city, is to memorize such thing, LOL

    I always quiz my son: where is daddy's car?

    Hehehehe...

    Yeah, it made life much more easier searching for the car especially after spending hours inside the shopping mall :)

    Yenjai,
    Walao, Yenjai bully his girl girl and boy boy.. Asking them to remember his parking lot no for him. LOL

    Nowadays with the advancement of technology, we don't have to exercise our brain cells so frequently liao.. How many of us bother to remember the phone number? Most of us just key in inside the handphone only without memorising the number :)

  15. tz,
    I have no problem in remembering the entrance, but following that u need to remember whether it's left side or right side of the entrance etc etc.. Hehehehe...

    misti,
    LB's car park reminds me of the scene underneath his bed in one of his post recently. Really resembles an empty car park leh. Till I also almost kena tipu liao...
    LOL

    eve,
    Wah, Eve has very good memory woh, can always remember where she parks her car. Even if u remember which staircase u come out from, u still need to remember whether turning right, turning left, going straight etc and all the other ocipala stuff. Not so easy also leh :P
