| 以前讀緊書嘅時候, 被同學起花名係幾咁等閑之事.. 最近同幾位識咗好耐嘅朋友, 大家無端端摷返以前啲花名互相稱呼.. 俾著以前就好可能會反面, 不過依家食到卅幾歲人, 以咸豐年前嘅花名互相稱呼, 反而增添一份親切感.. 話時話, 人老咗都真係經常懷愐過去呀呵?? :D |
| i believe during our schooldays, given nicknames by classmates was really a norm.. recently among few close friends known for many years, we like to address each other using the old-time nicknames.. if it was back then for sure we would get irritated with the nicknames, but now that we are already 30-something, we instead find that sweet and bring us closer.. hmmm, i guess it's because that we are aging hence we just like to always reminisce things in the olden days?? :D |

ReplyDeleteMorning!
Morning!
Morning morning morning!
DeleteGood afternoon, guys!!
DeleteWas busy the whole morning.
1. Busy updating my work progress to superior.
2. Busy continuing my last-week task.
3. Busy testing out baking outcome from colleagues.
4. Busy starting and warming up my brain.....
wah, come monday morning Queen Yvonne got so many things to do already..
DeleteEither SK posted this post earlier than 8.38 or my PC's watch slower.
ReplyDeleteWhy? I refreshed at 8.28 no post.
Refreshed at 8.35 also no post.
Refreshed at 8.37! Walah! Got post. Total page refresh this morning : 3 times only. kikiki
SK often followed India time. It is his lunch hour.
Deleteerrr, sure your PC clock got problem lah.. good, can ask your boss to change a new one for you!! haha..
Deleteanay, india time is 4 hours behind us lah.. they cannot have lunch before us.. they are only having breakfast while we are having lunch..
Happy Monday morning everyone!
ReplyDeleteTime to enjoy the working weekdays! LOL
Happy Monday morning! It is always blue Mondays for me. Lazy to work.
DeleteMy brainwave is still tuned to Sunday... only my body is in the office, my mind wanders off.
Deleteno worries peeps!! this week work two days, rest one day, work two more days and then it's holiday.. haha!!
DeleteSK really must be aging.
ReplyDeleteHow many posts about old times already? ;)
But then, I must be aging too. Been thinking about my schooldays lately. ^^
He is aging prematurely. Maybe got dementia too but his age is still young. He will recycle his stories cos he has covered almost every topic under the sun except sensitive ones - politics, religions or S..
DeleteIt's old age, Lina. How we wish we could turn back time and have fun again. Less worries, less burden, less tension, less responsibility.
DeleteBut then, when we were young, we wished we would grow up faster and earn our own $$$, begin our journey to the BIG city.
Such irony, isn't it?
i never deny i am getting old lah, in fact i started to call myself uncle already, no more thambee but maybe arumugam already, hahaha!! but then no frills on age, love yourself 10 years ago, also love yourself now and also love yourself 10 years later.. :)
DeleteI was given a nickname during orientation week when I entered boarding school at Form 1 and it stuck with me till college! And it's a boy's name. ;p
ReplyDeleteI had lots of nicknames too, either I was too popular or unpopular !! I think I was popular. One day someone screamed at my nickname so loudly on the street. My mood sprang into life and felt young and happy. I turned around and it was really a primary school mate! I slapped his head like kids again.
DeleteI can't remember I have any nicknames or no.
DeleteMany a few, but none is significant enough to make me (or my old buddies) remember it.
I think I was way too unpopular back then, I appeared invisible to others.... =_____=
yeah, i agree!! those who has lots of nicknames are either too popular or not like by any.. hmmm, i don't have a lot of nicknames but a couple lah..
DeleteYou can know whether my friends are new ones (ie from working year) or old friends (school & college friends) by the name they call me.
ReplyDeleteEx-schoolmates & collegemates still call me by my nickname.
Make me feel young lah! ;p
When I lived in a boarding college in US, an idiot from Tanzania often played pranks on me and wrote nasty things on my door!
DeleteHe called me Asian Chink!
He also drew a cartoon saying Malaysia Hangs People!!
Faints! This has etched into my memories forever!
haha, of course old friends still call us the same old nickname right, and that's what i meant by feeling so close and young again!!
Deleteanay, that Tanzanian classmates of you so rude!! is he a racist??
8.42am already! Where's Yvonne? Where Twilight Man?
ReplyDeleteBelum start kerja yet ah? ;p
I am here! Today busy working day.
DeleteUsually before 9am, I need to warm up my brain. Old brain already, needs longer time to heat it up - that's mean a nice cup of hot black caffeine (kopi-o kaw).
Deleteit's monday and everyone needs to recover and rebuild their brains from the weekend mah.. you will notice how active readers are on wednesdays and thursdays.. haha!!
DeleteThree more comments and I have 10 comments here in a row!
ReplyDeleteI CAN DO IT!
MUAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
3 more comments? I got to see boss now. Continue later!
Deletehahahaha!! so now, who has more comments in this post?? Jedi got just one comments more than First Lady??
DeleteSo.... care to share with us your nickname SK? ;)
ReplyDeleteReally fish ah? kikiki
I am back from meeting! My boss has gone to KLIA airport to fly to UK to watch Arsenal playing!!! Goodness crazy boss! He wont be around for 2 weeks!! Yay!
DeleteSK's nicknames can fill a phone book! His recent one is Heong Peng Wong! LOL
DeleteOther than Thambee, we can call him SK Virus!
Muahahahahaha!
Hehehe, I'm eager to know what are SK's nicknames too.
DeleteHey TM, at least you won't be seeing your football maniac boss for 2 weeks. Mine is very workaholic, he'll never leave his desk for continuous 3 days, unless he needs to report to HQ meeting.
wow, anay is going to be the king in his office while his boss is away for two weeks!! hahaha, my nicknames ah, haiyah, very difficult to explain here.. must share with friends that have known for many years only can appreciate the fun in within, don't you agree?? :D
DeleteFunny thing about meeting old school friends for me.
ReplyDeleteI can remember their nicknames but sometimes (most times actually) I cannot remember their real names!
And those nicknames can be rather funny to be called out for a near-40 woman! kakaka
Same here! They remember me as 'Sticky' but not my real name! I was thin, tall and 6 footer like a stick! LOL
DeleteI have almost zero nickname from my ex-schoolmates but I really hate one nickname my uncle gave me - 'Bamboo stick'. I was very skinny during my childhood :(
Deletehahaha, very true!! so used to address some people by their nicknames and realised we just actually have no idea what their real name are!! this is so ironic right??
Deletewah, you all are stick and bamboo last time?? so now the nickname cannot be used already lah for sure~~ :D
Hahaha... sad case, now need to change my nickname to "Fei Por"
DeleteYES!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI made 10 comments in a row and this is comment #11 before anybody else.
Now can go to work happy!
LOL
Have a great Monday everyone!
wow..that's great. Good morning! I'm late as I hv to cook first today. Now it's already 11.20am.
Delete10 comments!!!!??? I must make it 11 comments as I am kiasu!
DeleteTM, you have to make it 11, as this current one is Lina's 11th comment.
DeleteNow I have to make it 15, for safer side.
wakakakaka!! such an intense competition here.. wait, where is Darth Vader?? quit from the competition already?? :D
Deletewhat was your nickname bro? don't tell me its Fish? hehe..
ReplyDeleteno lah, fish is not a nickname lah, haha.. although my nickname is also some kind of food, haha~~
DeleteYeah. We should embrace our nicknames. :D
ReplyDeleteyes, very true, as long as those nicknames are not harmful ones.. :)
Deletethese nicknames remind us of what we were when we were young. :D
ReplyDeleteand yeah, probably the one who was given the most nickname was the one who was most popular amongst classmates back then~~ :D
DeleteAll of us bloggers have own nicknames and when they meet up, they address the nicknames! How funny!
ReplyDeleteYeah, right. I hope I'll be able to response if one day I bumped into SK and he called out, "Queen SuperSponge Yvonne" *awkward moment*
DeleteI might not recognize SK at the moment, my brain is quite slow in face recognition. And I'm pretty sure that's another lunatic calling out his/her friend, not me :p
But then again, if SK were to call me "Yvonne", I might ignore him, too. So many with the common name "Yvonne" I'm just to lazy to look and answer, hehehe!
Delete*tips: call my Chinese name and I'll answer.
actually i think when bloggers meet, we just address them by the blog name or blog signoff.. so it's better to give yourself a nice nickname also lah, haha.. oh, ok, next time i will shout "Queen Supersponge Yvonne Muffin Tan Yee Hua", sure you know that's you~~
DeleteWah, super long..... by the time you finished the whole sentence, I'll be, like, 20 meters away (?) couldn't hear your calling anymore, wakakakaka!
DeleteI don't think I like nicknames..I prefer to call people by their very own names.
ReplyDeleteI'm worst... I can't remember my own nicknames. And my friends' nicknames. I have very temporary and limited memory.
DeleteI usually address by actual names. Calling their nicknames shows more warmth and friendlier, this I agree.
actually depends on whether the nickname is good or bad.. sometimes nicknames can be sweet and can indeed bring two people closer together.. like what yvonne suggest, more warmth and friendly.. :)
Deletebut if one has a very nice nickname, then it's ok..
ReplyDeleteyeah, i think if those nicknames rooted from vulgar words, then just avoid that lah..
Deletewhat abt those who hv silly nicknames? How would they feel to be called that?
ReplyDeletePersonally I think it's rude to call friends, "Fat Face", "Geeko" or "Big Butt", you know, those ugly nicknames.
DeleteBut I really don't mind those cute and nice ones.
Deleteyeah, i think it's not nice to give people nicknames that if offensive.. but then when we were kids we never have thought about those lah.. so now, just bear in mind, caring about your friend's feeling is more important..
DeleteNow I recall the first word this SK Thmabee uttered when I called him inside the California Gym.
ReplyDeleteHe called out - Hey Grandma!!!!
LMAO!!! I wanna slap his Thambee head! Phiak!
Why Grandma and not Grandpa?
DeleteTM, you cross-dressed and you looked several decades older?? *jaw dropped*
Queen Yvonne, many years ago I got blog awards from some fellas for being the BEST BLOG GRANDMA!!!!! They loved my juicy gossips and vulgar words used but I have changed my whole image and style. So lesser readers after mellowed down! Many readers are funny, they like hot, spicy and vulgar writings!
DeleteHello Grandma Twilight LOL :D
Deletehahahaha!! anay, i have already forgotten that nickname and never recall i used to shout at you like that?? ooopsss, you must be so embarrassed then, hahahaha~~ :D
Deleteanyway, it's nice to recall those days when we were younger esp school time.
ReplyDeletehahaha, exactly!! that's why i start to say i'm getting older because i like to reminisce the good old days~~ :D
Deletereminiscing again? imagine how much more you will do this 10 years from now! :)
ReplyDeletehahaha, if this is once a week, then maybe in 10 years time it will be thrice a week?? :D
DeleteGood day to you
ReplyDeletegood day to you too.. :)
Deletethe good old days and the bad old days...
ReplyDeletewell, i usually try to only remember the good ones.. :)
Deletebet 10 years from now, you be thinking about this day
ReplyDeleteerrr, nothing really special happened today so most probably i won't!! haha~~
Deletelol...mana tau....something special might have happen leh
DeleteMy 15th comment!!
ReplyDeleteI have one nickname, is "active" up to today... given by my hubb.
He calls me "女人" in Hokkien @_@
Now I recall, one of my uni-mate got to know about this nickname and started calling me "char bo" too.
Deletehahaha, die die also want to have more comments than First Lady and Jedi.. hey, that nickname in hokkien is so sweet huh.. i think it's good that between couples you got some lovey dovey nicknames, hahahaha~~
DeleteHehehe.... of course, me and my very kiasu attitude.
DeleteNot very lovey dovey la, he calls me "woman" I call him "yellow" (not pervert :p but his surname is 黄) in return.
Cannot beat my FIL, he calls his wife "Dar", how sweet.
Hmmm....to think back, my mum used to call me by nicknames when I was a child. But not now anymore. Maybe I grew up so she thinks it is not appropriate to call me that nickname anymore.
ReplyDeletehahaha, very true!! i think many parents like to call their kids "baby", "ah bee" etc.. and definitely cannot use the same nicknames as they grow lah.. imagine, a 50-year-old "baby", haha!!
DeleteMy hubb has this nickname, "Ah Boy" which I think every mother calls her only son by that. And worst, my MIL still calls him that, despite he has a son now..... sounds so not right!
DeleteAnd I have a nickname for my son too, "啊弟". Being the youngest in the family, well, I personally think it's cute to address him that (at this age) :p
i think only good old friend can stand all these nickname! especially the nasty one :P
ReplyDeletei think will not use those nasty nicknames lah, it's not respecting and offensive sometimes..
DeleteHi, My name is Fish, Fish is me? LOL
ReplyDeleteso you are SK, if you got DOTA pal, u will be called Sand King or Skeleton King. :P
huh?? your nickname is Fish meh?? hehehe, what kind of fish?? salmon, trout, kampong, koi etc etc?? wah, too bad, i am not a DOTA fans leh.. actually got people thought my name is Siu Keong, hahaha!!
DeleteI give so many nicknames to my hubby and son.
ReplyDeleteOne minute I'm calling them by one name, the other minute I change to another. But you bet they are all cute (and perfectly embarassing for them!!) LOL
wah, so you are a nickname expert lah.. but i guess those are sweet nicknames lah, not those nasty one of course like what raimie's classmates will give to others, haha~~
DeleteWhat was your nickname?
ReplyDeletehehehe, i don't want to tell you~~ :D
DeleteI;m not going to tell you mine. Hehehehehe!!!!
ReplyDeleteluckily i didn't tell you, you main busuk lah~~
DeleteBut in school, my students called me cheesecake. That's nice... LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteoh cheesecake?? wonder why they call you cheesecake?? because you are sweet and yummy?? haha~~
DeleteAt least they did not call me Godzilla or anything like that.
ReplyDeletewell, you have to make sure their intention and rationale behind of giving you such a nickname before feeling relieved.. :D
DeleteBarney would be cute... LOL!!!
ReplyDeletehahaha, but i do not like barney!! maybe shrek is better?? :p
Deletewhats my nick name? lol got people call me bear, call me a&w bear, Fai Kor, Ah Fai and more . . . lol
ReplyDeleteAh Boy is family member call me hahaha
wakakaka, so your family member still calls you Ah Boy now?? aiyoh, have to ask them to change already, cannot still call you Ah Boy mah, else maybe call your Old Ah Boy lah~~ :D
DeleteAiks, just now was telling SK that my hubb is called Ah Boy too.....
DeleteSee, every boy is called Ah Boy - common nickname. Can't they think of something else?
Back to my father's childhood era, he said most of his friends have nicknames based on animals. I.e Ah Tu (pig), Ah Kau (dog) and Ah Gu (cow).
I guess nickname evolves too, lol!
They called me "Fei Por" means fat when I was young...
ReplyDeletewah, i am sure not they never dare to call you "Fei Por" already since you are so HOT now~~
Delete嗯....不要人身攻击的就还好。
ReplyDelete有时是把快乐建筑在别人的痛苦上。
對喇, 以前小時候根本就不會這些東西, 所以長大了之後就要避忌一點, 要顧及朋友的感受嘛..
DeleteI oredy have a nickname and its panda! LOL!
ReplyDeletei think panda is no more your nickname but your name already!! haha..
DeleteIn the Philippines, everyone has nicknames! They usually call each other by their nick names.
ReplyDeleteoh really?? maybe that is not a nickname but something like the "nama glamour"??
Deletei've pretty much maintained my childhood nicks and merged them to become my current twitter handle missyblurkit.
ReplyDeletehaha, and that's good, meaning you appreciate your childhood nickname.. and more importantly, i am sure your nickname isn't a nasty and offensive one, haha!!
Deletehahahaha! No wonder my hubby's old friend still calling him out his nick name on last CNY gathering.
ReplyDeletehaha, that means they have been friends for many many years.. i guess his friend may have already forgotten your hubby's real name, haha!!
DeleteThank goodness I don't have nick name.
ReplyDeletehmmm, that doesn't mean good also actually.. maybe you are not popular at all among your classmates last time, haha!!
Delete哈哈，我都有花名，不過唔講得畀你知。
ReplyDelete哈哈, 你唔肯透露個花名, 梗係好肉酸定喇!! :D
Delete哈哈哈~~~花名紧係有囉，不过都係啲同学仔帮人乱咁按架！呵呵呵~~~
ReplyDelete不过都係背后嗌我，係我面前就唔敢囉！
ReplyDelete可能我做学生嗰阵个样比较严肃，唔容易个个都可以埋身架！呵呵呵~~~
ReplyDelete你仲话有人记得你叫乜花名，我连人家叫过我乜花名都唔记得囉！
ReplyDelete都係叫番我原名比较亲切啲，就好似我嘅家人咁一样称呼我！你话几咁亲切呢！呵呵呵~~~
