Nicknames
Sunday, December 30, 2007
I was letting my thoughts go wild, and suddenly something very unique caught me.Nicknames.
I used to hate them. I used to see them as a form of teasing. but as I grew up, I realised it really isn't as bad.
Let's see how many I have acquired in my life.
- My parents and family always call me by this nickname ever since I was born. No, I won't tell you what. Don't even try asking. LoL. (I don't really like it, that's why)
- When i was in primary 3, my form teacher mispronounced my name as 'Yuan Hao'. I don't know why, somehow she just can't pronounce 'Yun' after correcting dozens of time. And since I was pretty plump then, my classmates used to call me 'Yuan de', literally meaning the round one. Lousy eh?
- The second one lasted till I graduated from primary school. When I was sec 4, my dear old boo gang gave me another one. Bear. Don't try asking how it came about. LoL.
- And in JC, my tenor section gave me the name Hao Yun, which means good luck, a twist of my original name. And eng yian gave it a twist once again, making it LG.
So, that's the brief history of my nicknames. My favourite is of course bear, but I will answer to any of them, as long as I know the person is referring to me.
Really, nicknames aren't that bad.
