For those above 18 only October 16, 2006

We were on our way to Kent from Oxford that  we started talking about the kookiest names we’ve ever heard given to people.  If u’ve seen VH1 on celebrity’s child’s name, u’d know how crazy people can get when it comes to naming their children.  On top of our list were Pilot Inspektor (Jason Lee’s son), Jermajesty (Jermaine’s son), and Tu-morrow (can’t remember who’s daughter it is).  Comedians in that show started making jokes out of their names.  One of my favourite ones was, “How are u going to expect your kid to do house chores when his name has got a ‘majesty’ at the back of it?  “Jermajesty, would you come here and sweep the floor?”  You think the kid’s going to do it?”.  Haha.  What happened to uncomplicated, simple, lovely names like Amy or John? 

It was then that Ica started our own version of VH1 show. 

Ica: Kawan mak Ica ada sorang ni nama dia Wan Sum Kok. (‘O’ to be pronounced as ‘aw’, not ‘oh’)

All of us in the car: What????

And she gave us this hypothetical scenario where the teacher is doing the roll call.  Register in hand, the teacher looks up.

“Wan Sum Kok?”

Kid puts up hand, “ Yes!”

Aiyayaiyayai.  Porn at school, I tell you.  Imagine u’re walking in a shopping complex and you recognise this guy that u were friends with in school.  Excited and all confident u go up to this guy and asks, ”Wan Sum Kok?”.  The guy turns around.  He’s in fact NOT WSK.   “Errrr, no thanks!” HAahahahahahahhaa.

Then Amal started telling us about the names that came out during MMU’s induction week.  They were sitting in a circle during ice breaking session.  It was this guy’s turn to tell his name to his group. 

3K: Aa, nama saya Kong Ket Kuat. 

*suppressed laughter in the group*

Mean Facilitator: Apa dia???

3K(with more conviction this time): Kong Ket Kuat!

For all we know, that poor kid’s name could’ve been Ong Kit Kuat.  Makes more sense, right?  hehe. 

Then there was another guy from the same group.

TTY: Nama saya Tong Tai Yik.  (According to Amal, this guy had said it in a very ‘pasrah’ way.  Like he knew what was gonna come after that) 

Mean, mean! Facilitator: So, nak panggil Tong ke Tai Yik

The house practically shook cause everybody laughed so hard. (conversation continued till we were in the house.) 

Probably WSK is the father of KKK and/or TTY.  He felt that it was so unfair for him to be named as such that he took it out on his sons.  Aisehh.  

That joke amongst many was one of the highlights of our trip to Oxford and Kent.  My absolute favourite thing was cruising through the countryside.  It was the best feeling of euphoria that I’ve had in a while .  Second, Kent!!!  It’s such a lovely place y’all.  This i’m saying without having seen the castles in Dover and such.  And of course, without the brilliant company that I had, the trip wouldn’t have been half as fun!  To the super, uber fun hosts (Atok n Ifham), THANK YOU!  (They are probably not reading this thingamajig, but just in case you two come across this page, thanks! )

Did I tell u that FOURDSLRs entah ape benda mak R were with us during the whole trip?  Naturally, the girls were camwhoring all the while in Oxford and Kent.  For photos, go to www.shasaaziz.multiply.com (but I don’t think they’ll be up just yet).       

Right, enough for now.  Have to go sort out my shopping that I did in Ashford now.  Oh, I forgot that important bit now, didn’t I?.  Another euphoric moment:  Sunday at Designer Outlet in Ashford.  Bliss y’all! Shopping raya, kasi la chan.  Heh.
