Huh? SENGET?!?!
since that i have so much time now to blog due to WoW still in maintenance. i'm gonna give you the answer to the one question people bound to ask me when they first know me. and that is, why am i called senget?
everytime i come across new people whom i introduced myself or people introducing me to them, i NEVER, and i mean NEVER tell them that my name is xinyi. because it sounds really girly to me and i totally dislike it. i know it is my birth name but i just can't help it. i would just tell them to call me senget instead.
for your information. senget is the malay word for crooked. most of the time, their reaction would be like, "huh? senget?, as in crooked?". and i have to explained, "yes, that senget". then, as expected, they would mostly laugh.
so how did the name came about? well it all started when i was in secondary one. already at that time, i was playing soccer every evening with some of the rowdians. then one day, my classmates, kaisang saw me and shouted out my name 'xinyi', but it kinda ended up sounding like 'senget'. therefore, qingan mishear it and thought he was calling me 'senget'. and just nice, i was always shooting the ball senget whenever i was playing soccer. so a few of them started to call me senget.
next day in school, i was with suffian, the first friend i made in my secondary school life. we were talking cock at that time when i told him that some of my friends nicknamed me senget. he laughed.
few days later, some of my classmates were actually calling me senget. i was like, weird, how did they know that? so i went around asking and finally got to know that suffian told melvin about it and then melvin told chenhuixia about it. so like most girls would do, she went around spreading it! in no time, thanks to them, my name became senget overnight.
so it all slowly began.
schoolmates i didn't even know of starts to know who i am by the name of senget. some walk past me and was saying, 'hey thats senget'. even my teachers started calling me that. rofl. somehow, my feelings for that nickname grew and has used it eversince. at first, when i didn't know how to spell it, i remember writing 'san-act' in my wordsheet and got scolded by a teacher. hahaha. thats when i find a malay friend to ask him how to spell the actual word.
now, everyone is calling me senget. it has became my permanent name and i even thought of putting it in my identification card. HAHA.
