My Nick Name

I have a few nick names, actually i like all my nick name. They are ah Bi, Kian Kian, Bi Mong Mong, gemuk, pui poh, and Maria fish ...


OK, My Mum, Dad, and elder relatives from my dad side all call me ah Bi, cute leh..the reason they call me ah Bi is because when i was born everyone call me baby, but y they didn't call my sister baby?? And my cousin sister always ask, when our age are some where like 70 or 80 are they going to call me ah Bi? well, in my opinion is still ok lah, what so big deal, ah Bi only mah not baby, so Iris, one day when u read my blog u can still call me ah Bi.

Kian kian is always so nice to hear when my auntie and uncle and my grandpa call me (mother side). They call me Kian kian is because my name is Maria Tan Lek Kian, and all my auntie and uncle are English edu, so they hv to call me Kian kian. When they call me Kian kian, i feel different. It is not being called very often but i feel like I'm back to small kid, where every year i use to celebrate Christmas at my grandpa house, with Christmas tree and present. But now, grandpa is not feeling well, he has become thinner, coz he has TB, now we don't get to celebrate Christmas at his house, he's not very happy now a day when we celebrate Christmas, he misses grandma too much.

Next!, when talk about "Bi Mong Mong" this nick name i cant stop thinking of my cousin, especially my eldest cousin Mee Jie, she's the one who created this nick name, that day onwards all her sisters start teasing me and calling me "Bi Mong mong". Reason being is : i have a cute little small eyes. But the truth is they think it's not that cute, it's just small, in Cantonese "Mong Choo Ngan" . But if u compare to Sandy Lim or "Ling yee Lian", mine consider big lorr..and If u have ever see my elder sister, her eyes is totally different from me, big and round, but luckily my two younger brother Peter and Vincent has the same eyes like mine. :)

And how bout Gemuk and Pui poh? It is created by Mr Barry, when we first know each other he use to call me dear or bi, now!.. he only call me gemuk or pui poh. Again i can't deny that i am fatter now, i think i increase 5-6kg from the day i know him. That means I'm happy, and i eat more and more. This i have to say thank you to my mum too, when I'm back home you always cook delicious dinner for me. Thanks mum!.

>>>>Maria fish.. it all begins when i am in Sipadan, i got bitten by a giant trigger fish, when i swim through its territory, it thinks that my sexy leg is too sexy for him so it bite me.. again i have to thank Ling Chong and Kai Ren for saving my life. And the creator for this name, i cant really remember who create this name, anyway i have a very memorable trip, and from the day onwards I'm forbidden to swim whenever there's fish in it haha...

Another nice name that were given by my dearest team mates were maria THE Philippians maid, another 6sigma black belt uncle John also like to call me "bun mui" Y? Because it is my name maria. As HongKee drama like to call their maid Ma...ri..a, then everyone starts to misunderstand that Maria is use for maid especially from Philippine. But just to let everyone know, Maria is actually Lord Jesus Christ mother Mary's name. I'm proud of my name, I'm not too mad at my team mates, at least some time we hv things to laugh at. Sigh..

Besides my lovely nick name i wanted so much to reveal other ppl nick name, and also the story behind their nick name. I'll be back...

My Style

All the while I'm quite a conservative person, i don't wear sleeveless, wear dress, skirts, no make up, never wear scarfs or necklace, and seldom buy new cloths. But lately i found that I've change a lot. Reason being is I'm with the new company, new colleagues and new working environment. My colleagues always encourage me to wear nicer, and put on some make up as personal appearance is important especially when u hv to meet clients everyday.
It's actually something good to me, as I'll hv better appearance to everyone. I like the new me, more trendy and more confident, the words says that "In this world, there's no ugly women, there's only lazy women". I don't want to be a lazy women, i want to look good and more confidence so i choose to spend wisely and make my self feel better. i think it's worth it.
This Saturday I'm going to waterfalls, quite excited, coz the previous one i cant go into the water due to some reason, this time I'm going to have fun. Going to post some photo as well.

Monday Blue

Well, my third post, anyway i am sure nobody read my blog anyway. Still i would love to post what i think and what i want to comment here. Everyday ppl tell lies. Sometimes the lie are good one, some times it is bad. I do tell lies some time, but all my intention is good one. However it's also very individual, my intention might be good, some might take it too personally and think that it's bad. I have a friend, very unpredictable, i like to be friend with her, coz she's a nice person, lately she change for better or worse im not sure, but for sure she's not the one i know anymore. I saw her life changed, more trendy, prettier, richer, promoted..and many more. Is she happier? im not sure, i cant judge. But what i can tell is "U r somebody to me and your friends here, as long as u know that we are your friends." We dont need u to entertain, but treat us like your friends. I always believe that even friendship is not individual, some times u hv to contact your friend once a while, and there's no harm for u to take a step in advance.
