What is my name?

Me: Ma..what is the meaning of my name ar?

Mum: No meaning 1 la..just that easy to call ma..
(yes..that is very true...everytime if introduced in a group, people sure remember my name first)

How on earth could they think of this name...

My name is often made fun of..cos sounds like petpet (backside in cantonese) and some other mandarin unpleasant words...at 1 time, i was quite embarrassed to say my name, n felt weird just by saying it...

HMM...Mayb thats y:

Me: Ma..who tot of my name 1?

Mum: em....

Me: pa...

Dad: (pretend not to hear)

Me: PA!!!...who tot of my name 1?

Dad: Ask ur mum..

creek...creek...(silence afterthat)

Mythology

I heard of a myth in my family..about the origin of my name...no1 knows the truth...

it all started 20 over years ago...

1st baby: super happy...find sifu sifu feng shui give nice name...chiew har (some autumn something...)
2nd baby: girl..still happy...chiew hong..(can tell that they are sisters from name)

then the 3rd child is born...hmm...girl again?
being a typical china man, my dad sure want a boy 2 pass down his family name ma..
so dis time the girl call: Wei Wei (meaning last last /end end in mandarin)

4th baby: YAHOOOOO...its a boy...thong kai wan san (meaning thank god)

Human nature, 1 sure not enuf wad..if 2 boy then ngam oredi..So pok another 1..
Bak kata pepatah, "Orang Tamak Selalu Rugi" ...

cum out 1 girl...name : Pei Pei ..more to Pei!! Pei!! (the action of spitting)


IN UK..
Sometimes I do wish I have an english name..
James, Matthew, Nick, Helen, Eric, ...all so easy to introduce to the Ang Moh...

Hi, I'm Pei. (thats the simplest I can think of)

Ang Moh: Pi? (pronounced as pee)

Me: Pei..P.E.I

Ang Moh: Pi..

Me: Ya..Pi..
Cincai la..cincai la..

This is when I believe in evolution...

From Pi, slowly become Pai..sometimes Pie..

Some were debating bout my name..they prefer pie to pee(cause sound like the act of passing urine, in hokkien pang lio)

But they still think pie is not a nice name...end up bcome Sweet Pi..
OK..we'll call her sweet pi..

Nurse: Donald, (an old apek dementia patient) this is Sweet Pi..
End up all the apek apek ajim ajim all call me Sweet Pi..

A jim: hey ladies, the wee girl's name is Sweet Pi aye..

Even the postman when come to my house:

Postman: Pei Pei please..(senyum tersipu-sipu) Y do you have to repeat it twice?

That is y i jus introduce as Pei and not Pei Pei

NOOOOOOOOOOOO...but there are still people who calls me prettypei...hmm..skk..skk...

But now, I am quite glad that my name is Pei Pei and not some Mei Mei, Lai Lai or Leng Leng..

First Football match in UK

28th July 2007...Work 4 hours nia..9-1pm ...

Went for this Barcelona Vs Hearts (for those who dun watch football dat much, Hearts is a Scotland team, so the match is in the same stadium that I watch rugby dat day).

First of course have to put a picture of me at the stadium..hoho
Ini dia...


Afterthat put sum foto of the players running to the field...


Then some players playing on the field..
(p.s: the ronaldinho and rijkaard that i mark accurate 1, after using the greatest technology of photoshop : zoom in and mark)

Afterthat must put sum climax picture...

Ronaldinho taking penalty..


After kan jong abit, then anti-climax...
Some guy with his heroic act of running into the battlefield..put a cap on one of the players..haha

(knowing that he gona end up 3 days in jail...abo i oso do oredi la..can b in newspaper..)


Peleraian...

Every1 waving the scarf when a song is played...quite syok oso..see the whole stadium with movement...I hampir tanggalkan my baju to wave as well...but finally decided not to attract too much attention..

Habis cerita..

Moral of the story: Don't simply run into the middle of the field..can kena jail 3 days 1..

Recycle recycle recycle

All this while, I find it unnecessary to buy envelope when I go shopping...how many times do we need envelope in a year? It all come in packs, sure kenot finish 1..But when I need it, aiyo.."takda"...nx time buy la..
but everytime sure go buy other stuff, where got ppl go buy envelope when u dun need it??

Yesterday I jus sold a jacket on ebay..normally the stuff that i sell i buy the envelope la, cos need the kalis peluru kalis air kalis koyak 1..but aih..75p 1 envelope..cis betul..

My STUNNING FOXHOLE JACKET size 8 Is FINALLY SOLD!!!
(haha, kena perli bcos of that name i put on ebay)

WHAT TO DO???

(look around the room..)

Kasi tutup with paper, decorate abit, put boarder,theh..can oredi...

Stick 1 2nd class stamp at the corner..look perfectly alright..

SInce our government spend so much money wana encourage citizen 2 recycle stuff...I bcum a rakyat yang peka, fulfill their mission la..

GREEN IS RECYCLE...


*** N must not forget the "Thank You Mr Postman" so that if your postage not enough, postman still kasi belas kasihan...

Then i discover they have this:

IF tak Gosok GIGI Bcum Like THIS:::::
THis is when u'll have problems like bits of tooth falling of out of no where..

• When watching movie: "eh, what is this? Krrk..krrk..teeth drop out"
• When eating : Krrk..krrk..
• When sleeping: Krrk..krrk...

1st 1 still ok, after sum time u start to scared oredi...this is when u start to make appointment for the first time after many many years..the last time u seen dentist was when they cum 2 school n giv u the green card..remember???

After you leave form 5, u tot u noneed to see the green card ever again...but now..its yellow here in uk..NOOOO...if malaysia go private have to pay sumore..

The treatment is ROOT CANAL TREATMENT...

Every time i go see her, chair oso not yet hot, 1 leg still on the floor with part of my hair still standing, this 1 datang first:

Nowonder ppl dun like dentist..

After doing some investigation, i finally noe wad she is doing to my teeth...
First time i go, she korek korek korek..duno what gold she trying to dig in my teeth..

After that i saw her coming with a big gerudi...gerudi gerudi my teeth..I was thinking,

" Jialat liao..now dun feel pain nia, later anaesthetic gone mah kau peh kau bu.."

Feels like she is trying to reach my heart from my mouth...

Second time i see her, she start to poke many sharp sharp needles into my teeth..around 6-8 syringe...although i kenot see very clearly cos my vision blocked by the huge goggles that she made me wear, but i could see she use alot of " ka chang" (like a plumber buruk baiki tandas)..spanar pun ada..playar pun ada..

B4 i go back, that she tell me its gona be abit tender after that..ABIT!!! I go back see mirror feel so glad that my mouth is still intact..

3rd time finally she tell me its done...feuh..

So the gerudi gerudi thing is actually her trying to reach the canal by widening the hole, like this:
but she really do drilling oo dat means.i din hear wrongly..

Then the needle needle thing she is cleaning my decayed tooth..trying to clear of all before putting root filling material..
After she make the lubang so big oredi, she tutup with sum stuff in the mean time..

dat STUFF!!!..macam chewing gum..I bite kacang, kacang stuck there..i bite apple, apple stuck there, even tofu oso..nola..

After sumtime, got indent into the teeth..dats when sakit..huhuhu....

BUT now finish oredi...my another teeth start falling again..apaniiii

Kesimpulan dan pengajaran: Brush your teeth...

Sushi Report...

Haha..budget time wrongly..end up VIP all sampai with wine, i still din finish making..

No time to decorate oso..cincai do oredi..

Picture oso tak sempat take..lapar oredi, so eat...but while eating got take afew pics aa..

My favourite is still thisss:

KIN JIO MAKI (a.k.a Pisang Goreng Maki)

The aroma of the pisang plus celah celah got the batter garing and sweet-sour kiwi..huah...not bad not bad...

2nd Place:

One bite can taste he crunchiness of the sushi plus hot cos just came out of kuali...together with salmon on top...bes bes..

3rd Place:

GO CHAM BAK MAKI (a.k.a luncheon meat maki)

A good choice of ingredient: luncheon meat...goes well with sushi and sweet egg plus moist from cucumber..

The sesame seed 1 oso very wangi, cos toasted..

LAIN LAIN

After makan, VIP very puas hati with the sushi, although not enuf preparation and look not dat super, but taste nice n " ALL WAS WELL" (dipetik dari last sentence of Harry Potter). After dinner diikuti with rancangan wine tasting and karaoke with VIP..

Everybody happy!!

After few days..newly updated!!

Gatal feel like eating again..haha..saja make..giv jiran jiran..

Four of us were lining, up, but actually only James ordered the book..haha..We were then thinking of stupid ideas:
