When i was in high school, i like kids so much (eh i still do) and watched so much tv, i actually wrote down beautiful names and lock it somewhere in case when i got older and go through ye ol' stuff and take some time off to pounder of the beautiful past. Anyway ... it all went wrong after my brother, shawn was borned.........
We often hang out in his room because of the air con.. and both us fatties will cramp in a single bed and start talking crap .... and talking about movies and all that... repeating the funniest epics and all that ... and ... we like making fun of names... here and so forth... so i told him .... for the better names... you should name your kids like....
Taco Belle (spelt as Ta KOH Bel le, knowing his kids will bear our surname KOH)
Mark Koh Po Lo, as in Marcopolo(this was the name my mom should have given to my bro... )
Jay Chow Chee Bai (he told me i should start looking for a guy by the surname of Chow)
Koh Ah Hai (one of his son's name)
Koh Poh Chee (in short/initials, it would KPC for Keh Poh Chee, meant for girls)
We even went to the extend of making sure his kids has mole at places where it NOT would look sexy like Cindy or suanie but just some KPC which is so ultimate!!! and when the times when my brother was a tad bit younger.. he use to cry cos he is spoilt .. and my mom will tell him that she should gave birth to a daughter instead yada yada yada..... since he was so sissy and crying at every bit.. so me and my sis will start all the names in the world for him.... that is IF he was a girl...
Anyway ... we're pretty satisfied with our names UNTIL we found out that i wasnt a KOH at all in the 1st place.......(WTF???)........ then my dad started his favourite part = TALKING HISTORY.. and told us out great grandfather was some 'tan' family .. yada yada yada.. was given to a 'koh' family.. and yada yada yada yada yada and then.... i am a KOH....
And we didnt have to wait further when my dad told us of the biggest BETRAYAL from my granddad which we love do so much ... being a typical hokkien he was, he only named the sons and grandsons....... .. WHAT ABOUT THE GIRLS???? WTF!!! are we outcast or what??? and then my mom told us that.. 'oh...yea i gave you your names'... 'your granddad alway was too 'busy' to name the girls'.. and gave 5 FUCKING choices of names before the boy was even out... BAH!!!... well not that we rave of jealousy... but we would have been really proud if we knew that our names was given by our ancestors...
anyway .. typical of a hokkien... i think hokkiens are as such...... if given names were being judged by character/personality AND GENDER.. my granddad must have foreseen the gay community because he doesnt realise a straight guy will still die for a pussy.. imagine a guy with some super nice name and a wife he is about to marry has some LIM CHOW HAI or something... ..duh uhh... but i still think i have a cool granddad...
