#322: What's In A Name?

Hello stranger, if you've stumbled upon this blog because you googled 'awesome', or 'abang gitar', got bored of his blog and came over to mine instead, such a thought must have occurred in that magical little mind of yours.

What kind of name is 'Cedric'?

Since you asked...

Cedric- Chief
Gender: Male, Origin: English

Ah yes, tracing back to those (maybe-not-so) good ol' days where I'd mingle with Malays at the football field or badminton court. They'd inquire my name, and when I replied 'Cedric', I could almost hear their minds thinking. 'Khhhstchhhh'. (I think that's how Malays stifle laughs) But eventually my awesomeness would get the better of them and we'd engage in non-racist male-bonding.

I'm not really sure how I got my name. But if I'm not mistaken I was named after a boy whom my mum took care of in kindergarten. But I'm not gonna delve into details, 'cuz with the information I seek will also come an hour long performance on my mother's past, maybe even accompanied with song and dance. So I'll just settle with 'I was named after a boy Mum taught in kindergarten'. Works for me. (I'll gladly give you my mum's contact if you wanna know more)*

And while we're still on the topic of this wonderful name, here's something interesting for you.

See this fat guy? Yeah. He's Cedric the Entertainer. He was born on the 24th of April.


See this cool guy? Yeah. He's Cedric. Me. Cedric. He was born on the 24th of April.

Cool eh? Try finding someone with the same name AND birthday with you. (I tried looking for a white and slimmer 'Cedric', but I'll have to settle with 'the entertainer' for now)

You'll probably be wanting 'Cedric' as your name now, so I'll end soon before any trouble starts. But let's end with this-

Who knows Uncle Freddy from Children's ugh Church? His youngest son's name is...

Cedric. (I don't have a photo of him yet, but enough proof to know that he's named after me)

And no points given for guessing who he's named after. Like I always said...

"You know you're awesome when someone's named after you."**

Actually, that quote was birthed only after I found out about Little Cedric. But who cares! My awesomeness is underlined once again.***


*Yes, the claims that I was named after Darren(who is my second cousin)'s brother Cedric are false. You got punk'd!

**Speaking of which, I'm planning on naming my son 'Foreman Cha' or 'Bono Cha'. But we'll wait for another post on that.

***If you're bugged by how narcissistic I am, that's kind of your problem. It's MY blog. Get YOUR own blog and rant about me- maybe that would help.


THIS is a roll, Isaac. And it ain't ending.
