October Baby

(a forward mail)

Loves to chat. Loves those who love them. Loves to takes things at the center. Inner and physical beauty. Lies but doesn't pretend. Gets angry often. Treats friends importantly. Brave and fearless. Always making friends. Easily hurt but recovers easily. Daydreamer. Opinionated. Does not care to control emotions. Unpredictable. Extremely smart, but definitely the hottest AND sexiest of them all.

Weirdo Yingzhen

From Yingzhen's blog, post "So Happy!"...

Hi Kar Yen!
Haha Kar Yen made my day today!
Yay Karyen rocks you!
Hahah am so proud of her!
This is so funny cos I am typing this in front of her and this is like, flattery but never mind. Hahah she finds this very amusing. But then again, she finds everything amusing.
Byebye Karyen! (She just left.)...


She's the one who finds everything amusing, not me.
I am utterly disappointed in her for only learning to appreciate me after such a loooong time... *cryz*
Hahaha... This is amusing! Weirdo Yingzhen! You rock!!

Cycad

What?
Cycad is an ancient plant that existed ever since dinosaurs walk the earth.

How?
During Bio-diversity lesson in year 2006 semester 1, Yingzhen suddenly points at me and started calling me "Cycad". Reason unknown.

Future?
I mentioned in my last post how a name may affect someone's behavior, what would happen if I'm addressed as "Cycad" all the time? Perhaps...

I'll grow spikey
not bad, at least I'll stand a lower chance of being struck by the lightening

I'll be really quiet
have never seen a talking plant before (except in cartoons, but they don't count)

My cells may evolve and have chloroplasts and cell wall and vacoule
Okay, this is ridiculus :P

Names

(Posted this on Where I Belong blog as well)

"What's in a name that which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet"
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare


Well, the issue on names suddenly pop up on my head. It's not exactly random, it deals with issues of identity...

Anyway, I thought of responding to a different name every day/week/month. I wonder how that would be. I guess sometimes we are so attached to our name that we don't hear anything but our names. I shall try it next week. Hehez...

Back to the Romeo and Juliet statement... I read an article some time last year or the year before that names actually do make a difference. A rose would not smell as sweet if we know it as "feces" or something. That's the general idea.

If we observe the peopel around us, some people with the same names actually turn out to be pretty similar. That leaves us to think...

Lesson:
Never give your child a bad name. ;)
