What's In A Name

I just felt like blogging, really.

Over the years I've had several nicknames.

But none of them have lasted as long as the two I will mention below. Why? LAWL I don't know. Nicknames have a habit of sticking to you if people around you keep using it. It sounds natural after awhile, but people you're not close to will think it's weird. Nevertheless, it's good having a nickname. I think it'll be quite miraculous if your good friends around you don't have a nickname for you by the end of the first year of being friends.

1) Isetan (or Ise)

Yes, well.

I think this name stuck because it really sounds super close to my name. O_o But how cool is that? To be named after a shopping centre. Even though the only thing I can remember that I ever bought from Isetan was my secondary school prom dress... $99. I should have just bought some cheapo dress and mod-ed it. But then again, what lah. First prom ever. I guess it's ok to splurge abit. For me now, $99 is half my one week's expenditure on food, travel, books and etc.

2) Ban (or Bun)

This came about during Trinity. Funny how nicknames come up in the most mundane of situations. I can't imagine what I'd have been called if we weren't talking about that exact topic, at that exact time and place. Maybe people will still be calling me by my normal name. Cuz I know if I didn't ask that stupid question, NO WAY in the entire world will this nickname ever be made. But let's face it. I buy so many buns from Breadtop all the time. Maybe now I'm resigning myself to my fate.

Why do I keep getting nicknames?

I must be very gong.

Yes, that must be it.

But then again, I don't think I mind. Being gong is fun. But of course, being gong by yourself is not as fun as "gong"-ing with other people. :D I'm glad I've found people to gong around with. If all my lame jokes fell flat, I'll feel like I would DIE!

And my JAW is aching like SHIT from all that CHEWING and LAUGHING that went on today. I'm just super happy that my milk tea turned out great. I'll definitely be going back to Dessert House sometime soon, especially to try out the other rice dishes. I just hope my jaw gets better soon. It's kinda hard to work up an appetite with it being so hard to CHEW. DAMN you, you horrible jaw, I HATE CHEW.
