Everyone has an Ah Tan

Come on, admit it.
You have a friend name Ah Tan, too, don't you? Especially when you were back in school. Dearest Cubbie read my last post here and responded "I knew of 6 Tans."

Yes, but you don't call every Tan you know, Ah Tan do you?
I knew more than one Tan but there is only but one Ah Tan.

So the question is, do you have an Ah Tan?
Come on, everyone does.

For everyone deserves an Ah Tan in their lives.

*snickers*

To Ah Tan: Thank you for being such a good friend. Heh. Do feel good to know that you are most certainly appreciated here. =)

Daddy's Big Shoes

It's pretty big, huh?

It's been a week without dad at home. So here, there and everywhere I was filling in for my dad. Mornings were busier with me being the one opening all the doors, warming up the car engine, taking the newspaper in, followed by closing up all the doors again before I leave the house. Also mornings were greeted by darkness. Usually, dad is always up before me, moving about in a brightly lit house.

Mum slacked a little, saying it was not worth cooking for just the two of us and there I was in charged of buying dinner. Dinner was made only when sis returned home from college and mum approved to cook for three. Heh! But sister was another concern as I have to figure out a way to get her to and back from college since dad is daddy dearest is not at home. And me and driving is totally =.=;; a sad case.

Therefore, I'm thankful he's home now and more importantly, that he arrived home safely.

One things for sure,

Dad wears big shoes!

The name's Tan. Ah Tan!

Hah! So the "25 Things About..." tag went spreading all around the world and back to my teenhood friends: one being the Ah Tan I have always known to be, though now more widely known as Duncan. In one of his 25s, he mentioned how people used to call him Ah Tan before our Uni days.

My response? I figure saying "You'll always be Ah Tan to me." just sounds way *cough cough* hahaha... so I opted for a simple ...

"And I still call you Ah Tan."

I believe the message got across nicely as Ah Tan replied

"Jovin: Yes, and I appreciate it."

*smiles*

More than that, the thought of Ah Tan brought back memories of conversation at home. Since Tan is a common Chinese surname, it's no surprise my younger sister also has a friend named Ah Tan. -.-;; and such conversation seem to happen quite often at home back then...


Mum: Eh, so what is Ah Tan doing now? / Eh, last time Ah Tan... /

I thought Ah Tan... *basically you get the idea*

Me and Sis: *stares at mummy dearest* Which Ah Tan?

Mum: *points to a random one* Your Ah Tan.

Me or sis: Ehhhh?? Ah Tan is not mine!


HAHAHA... it's silly but it's always funny everytime that happens. That rarely happens nowadays since both Ah Tans are now far away from home.

Awww... since it's so nostalgic, I really might as well...

"No worries. You'll aways be Ah Tan to me."

*gelinya*

HAHAHA

2. I got beatings from my mom and was later lock out of from the house because I refused to go to school during lower primary. Me? Skipping school? *shocked* Well, I was already in my uniform when I remembered I forgot to do my homework and was so scared of getting punished that I refused to go to school. Which in return got myself punished at home even before I got to school. ^^;; It's really silly when I think back about it. I was left crying outside when driver uncle came pick me up to school.

5. My first published work was in a school newsletter when I was in Form One.

6. Grew up reading Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew mystery stories, I wrote my own short mystery story when I was 14, sent it for a competition but got no news after that. =( The story was written in an exercise book and the young naive me didn't know how to make photocopies of it and thus I no longer have it with me. *sad*

7. My first prize winning piece came a year after that when I wrote the history of a temple donated by my great-grandfather. It was also the first time my name appeared in the newspaper. I won myself a thick encyclopedia on world history o.O'' hahaha.. and a watch from the Star.

Yes, it's that great. You must watch! I have watched it in cantonese, malay, english and japanese. hahaha..

24. I sleep with a pillow under my head, another under my leg and one on my chest <-- that's the pillow I hug. Oh, my bolster is left aside to prevent my limps from hitting the wall and waking up with blue black all over. XD

25. I tell others I have somewhat of a telepathy power as I often get to read minds but the truth is I tend to know stuff simply because I analyse stuff well.

The End.
