I'm 20 so what?

Regarding the question I ask earlier.
There is this shop name called XZQT. What do u think that shop sells?

When I first saw XZQT, my brain automatically broke it down to

X = ex
Z = zee
Q = que
T = tee

then, brain joins everything together and registers the word 'Executive'. So naturally, I thought its a boutique selling office wear. But no, apparently its a furniture shop. So not in the name!

Something that I realize lately. When your 90 and you complain about your aching leg or something, most people will take u very seriously. But if your 20, people will think that you're faking it or its actually just some cramp or anything. Hate it when someone doubted me when they found out that I'm going to see an orthopedic. Seriously, when your 90, your blood circulation slows down and naturally you'll feel aches here and there. Isn't it a problem if you're going through does when you're 20? "never mind wan la..." Who are you to say that.

This naming thing is endless eh? Don't worry, it will be a different approach this time.Today, it's about the Horvejkul brothers. And no, this is not a fortune telling corner.

Sorry, I couldn't find a proper pic of Nichchan, so there's double Nichkhun here.


The Horvejkul bros consists of Nichkhun,21 (pronounced as NI-KUN) and Nichchan,23 (I assume it's NI-CHAN?). So, what comes to your mind first when you saw their names? The first think that strikes me was "Do their parents speak Japanese?" Why is that so? you ask.

Let's drop both's 'nich' and take 'Khun' as 'kun'. So what do u get? Does 'kun' and 'chan' rings any bell? If you're thinking of Japanese honorific suffixes, then you're on the same page as me.

Kun (君, in Kanji, くん in Hiragana)is used by a senior person in addressing a younger male. For instance, a teacher usually addresses her student as xxx kun. However, in Johnny's I believe that the Jrs are told to address their seniors by kun. Let's take KinKi Kids and Hey!Say! JUMP as an example. The age difference between the oldest member of HSJ and KinKi Kids is 11 years and yet they have to call them Koichi kun, Tsuyoshi kun. Imagine Ryutaro calling Kimura Takuya as Kimura kun. It will be so awkward!
Besides that,kun can also be used by females when addressing a male that they are emotionally attached to or have known for long.

Chan (ちゃん) on the other hand is a more casual way of addressing someone. Thus, using chan with a superior's name would be condescending and rude. In general, chan is used for babies, young children,cute animals, lovers and close friends.

You know what? Nissan* should really seal a deal with the bros.

*san is pretty much like Mr./Mrs./Ms in English

When will this naming thing ever end? Haha remember I said that I wanna change Maki's name? It was decided that it's new name is でぶ (Debu, so that it will grow bigger. Just 3 days after that, Debu really did grew bigger!! Okay..maybe it's because it's at the growing age, but lets assume it's the naming thing ya? There are also lots of cat's dropping behind my house.. Please do it else where and don't make me rename you cats 'Benpi' (Constipation) ya!

On an unrelated note, I came across this Japanese cat blog just now. でぶねこ☆めんまさん (The fat cat- Menma san)So cuteeee!!

Last night, I was watching my weekly "1 Night 2Days" tv program. It's actually a Korean travel-variety program. This week, they went to Gangwon-do and visited an observatory there. In the observatory, they get to take a glimpse of the moon and a young star named Capella via the super canggig-manggih* telescope. The telescope was so huge/magnifying that they get to see the Moon's crater. I wanna take a look at the moon too! to find out whether it's cheese like I wonder do we have the chance to take a look at the moon at the National Observatory in Langkawi?
*canggih means advance in English
I wanted to sms Kristy at that time, but I can't remember where did I misplace my mobile phone. I keep misplacing things lately especially my phone Repeats are on Sunday 5.20PM, KBS world (Channel 303 on Astro)

Oh ya.. I was woken up by this really strange dream. Shall story it tomorrow!

It's in the name pt2

Remember one of old entry about why naming is important? Today, the stray cats behind my house once again proved that to me. After writing up that previous post, my sister and I decided to change JiHoo's name to the almighty me Jun Pyo. And this morning, when my sister fed them some sausage, Tatsu the dragon and Jun Pyo fought rushed to it, leaving poor Maki behind. It's really really weird to see 'Jun Pyo' behaving like that. Usually it's the most passive out of all 3 and will run away whenever something was thrown near them. The Name power? or maybe it's just hungry So I'm thinking to give Maki another name. Any suggestions? Anything but not Tiger/ Lao Hu/ Harimau/ Tora or anything along that line please. Look at Tiger Woods, totally living up to his name

I went to Tropicana Mall for lunch today. Had Kenny Rogers Roasters and I'm quite positive that there might not be any next visit. I was quite disappointed with the chicken and Nando's was wayyyyyyyy better. Of course it's not as healthy as KRR.. but the taste is just so different from what I remembered. Sighhhh healthier food = not so tasty food??

Anyway..it's been 100 days since Jay left. At the same time, videos of him and his crew battling surfaced on YouTube. Glad to see him doing his thang with his homies in Seattle. His crew (Art of Movement) even won first place in a bboying competition.

It's in the name

Remember a while ago, I blogged about the post code lottery? Today's entry will be about the naming lottery. The Chinese thinks that it's very important for their children to have a good name. They believe that the name will reflect what kind of person their children will grow up to be. I'm not stereotyping people by saying people with what name have a certain behavior or they end up getting what type of job but I think it can be quite true.

For example.. the stray cats behind my house. The one named Tatsu (Dragon) turn out to be quite a strong cat. It's quite aggressive when it comes to food and is not afraid of people. Sometimes it even roars like a tiger. not cat As for its twin, Maki (not sure what it means in English.. rolls is the closest word I guess) always roll around. And lastly, the orange kitten, Ji hoo. It's a little soft lembik just like Ji Hoo sunbae. Should have named it Jun Pyo or something.

I wonder what does my name have in store for me? Haha Car? Arc? Care? Reine means queen. no wonder I once dreamed that I was a queen But too bad it's not my name haha.
