大家好,我是谭腾达!


Everyone in the family is so excited abt our trip to malaysia to clean grave tml. It was to the extent that upon me reaching home on friday, mother was already folding the deathnotes/hell note, to 'topup' its value. And it was an entire big bag.

My brother came back from school an hr after me. He sprained his ankle and lost his contact lens which he only worn for 5 days. In short, he had a rough day. (i myself also got injury that day but i'll put this up on the next post). He sat down and started complaining abt his luck, that things he just bought tend to break easily or lost or something bad will happen. Certainly ,it sounded awfully family, guess it runs in the family..

It was then they (mother and brother) started talking abt names. On how names can affect one's luck. Of cos, this is something i don't believe as its so silly to blame on the name just because something bad happened. Anyway, they dug out the same old conversation of our names was already thought and given to us and was engrave on my grandmother's tombstone more then half a century ago.

Our names follow the generation sequence, meaning for my generation i must use this word in the name and another word for the next generation.(and i just learnt that the singer, alan, is two generations below me) But for some reasons the name we are having now is not the one engraved and suppose to have. Thats why brother was suggesting if he change his name, his luck will be better, he hoped.

As for myself, I kept quite all these while, thinking. I'm always fasinated by chinese names that are interesting and unique. These names are specially thought of. The number of stokes and character and its pronouncation and its meaning, are taken under consideration.
The name is the first gift and love that any parents can give. As long as you have a name, you are special.
That was why i always called my friends by his chinese name eventhough they have given themself english names. As simple as that.

so once again, 大家好,我是谭腾达。
