Written Identities

This was supposed to be up yesterday.. nyeh. Anyway, ...


Look what I found!!

Amazingly this piece of paper appeared out of the sky..Interesting.

How could it have only appeared after 17 years of my life? I really don't know.

I guess an old file was a good hiding place.I should search through all of the old things in my storeroom when I have more free time :)



So lets begin..

My name is Kimberley Chong Pei Yi. Stating the obvious here.

Once upon a moment I could have been a Chong Jing Ying or Ling Ling.

So why Pei Yi in the end? I haven't brought the question to my parents....yet.

But I will soon.




After fully analysing this piece of leftover from the 90's,

I realised that my name in the list did not have a meaning beside it =( Not cool at all.
Nevertheless, I was almost too glad my name turned out to be..well..my name now. I honestly didn't really like the other names just as much. No off to the people who actually DO have those names of course.
Sooo..speaking of names. My mind started to wander off further than it needed to.. and I started thinking of names that I like, names I would give to my baby ( if ever ) , names that just sounds hot /sexy , and names that define.
Here's the little from the lot
~Totally fab names that I wouldn't mind having as an a.k.a ~
Brooke, Laura, Ivory, Madison, Ava, Sidney, Ruth, Leah, Hazel
~ Baby names!! ~
His : Llyon, Jesse, Evan, Clyde, Tyler, Reese, Damien, Chace
Hers : Jesse, Jennifer, Teri, Justine, Leslie, Danielle, Eve
~ Sexy names ~
Lee, Candice, Ashley, Alexis, Alex, Riley, Megan, Seth, Tyler, Eric
~ Names that define ~
Big : Bob, Ruby, Bertha
Petite : Erica, Lily
Aunt : Margaret!!!, Nancy, Martha
So that's that.
This is just the peak of the mountain. There are just too many to choose from!
I believe a name can really define a person. Even making the list above, I couldn't help but think of the people who actually have those names ( eg. Brooke from Tree Hill ). What would we do without names? The world would be in a tangle that's for sure. Im starting to wonder if a person can be anonymous for the entire of his life. Nah, I think not.
Gosh, i'm happy I have a name!




Sunday morning rain is pouring

Ahh thank goodness Sharon knew the way to HSC, cos it was raining elephants and mices outside! The interviews were finally over then..
But wait, what? Rewind.Plenty hours.
HELP - SASA Scholarship :
It was waaay too early in the morning then. 8 am of Sunday morning that is. eck!
It was blazers, prefects, librarians, the all-schoolers and the odd uniforms.But of course, the Hartamasians still made the most noise. Somehow. Anyway, I was like what..!! Few minutes past registration and I was already way behind in line. Unbelievable. Anyhow, the interview seemed all too soon when the time actually came. My hands felt cold and I started pacing up and down.Why do people get nervous? really. It's something we humans can really do without.
Good thing is, it all went away when I realised the interviewers were both very nice.Actually it was more of like..intervieweR since only one of them spoke the entire time. I'm not gonna go into detail on the questions they asked me since there were one too many but overall it was an experience I might say.
Since I had to rush off for the Taylor's interview, I was really playing with time. Jumped into the car with school uniform and out with an entirely new outfit. Almost superhero-like :P Although, I must say that wearing three layers was suffocating!
Taylor's - Principle Awards Scholarship :
The Hartamas campus was really inviting..I even took notice of the guards who nicely opened the doors with a smile. The only thing is, there was almost no coverage in that college.Inconvenient in some ways.
So after the whole briefing session and so forth, we were all escorted one by one to our interview rooms.The fashion at Taylor's was slightly different.They were more of one-to-one type interviews. Something totally different as compared to school level.Another difference is that they really dig and dish whatever possible out of you just so the applicant is worth paying for. I admit, they are good at what they do.
big sigh
Anyway, in this particular 2 in 1 episode, I learned much much much.
Still wishing I could take back some words and offer new ones, but what's done is done yes?
All I can do now is be hopeful and none too much.
Get it or not, only God can tell. In fact He already knows the answer and I just have to wait it out.
So wait I will.
