The meanings of names
Today I went to the Temasek Polytechnic International Students (TPIS) Annual General Meeting (AGM). Due to the cancellation of IISO lessons this week, I was dismissed at 1pm. And guess what? The meeting started at 6pm! Oh no! Should I stay back for 5 long hours in the campus?? No way! But I had no choice. I was meeting Wasis at 4pm, btw. Hence, no point of going back home.. rite? Anyway I had my CMSK research with me, so I did the essay outline and printed it during the waiting hours.
Err.. Who did you say you were meeting just now? Wasis? What a weird name. LOL. Well, I won't say such a thing la, coz I am not that mean.. HAHA. But yes.. I should admit that actually his name is quite.. er... unique? as people can mispronounce it as "wasit" (indonesian term for referee), "wasir" (ambeien), or anything else.. LOL. But hey, don't judge people by his name, can? You don't know whether the person is good or evil only by his name.. or perhaps whether the person is good looking or bad looking.. You won't know! People say your name reflects your personality, but I don't really think so! Let me give you some examples. 'Claudia' means limping. So if your name is Claudia, does it mean that you are limping?? 'Christina' means Christ's follower, or simply, Christian. So if someone is named Christina, can you be sure that she is a Christian? I don't really see a point of the meaning of names, although it is fun to find out the meaning behind your name. And oh, for your additional information, 'Louisa' means heroine. Not HEROIN, but HEROINE. I hope you can distinguish between the two. "Heroin" means a powerful and illegal drug made from morphine (definition taken from Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English), whereas "heroine" means simply a female warrior. Got the difference? LOL. So, what's the meaning behind your very own name? ;)
Ok. Back to the main point. TPIS AGM was quite a fun. I got a chance to meet other Indonesian friends in TP. Quite a number of them are freshies, perhaps I can ask them to come for the Indo-Freshmen Nite on August? LOL. OK. Seems I have nothing else to talk about. I believe you won't like it if I talk about the meeting on and on rite? It would be borrrriiiinnngg! Hehe. Ok I guess I'll see u next time. Bubbye and GBU!
