Hmm, even at facebook, there's 165 people with such name (few months ago...)...
Nothing special...
Yet one of my friend suddenly trigger my interest to write about it, today...
As I can't write in Chinese now, bare with my so that I can finish this story later, very soon, I promised =)

Jackie, an English name.
Universal, as Mr.Tan claimed, can be for male, female, BOTH...
Aiyo, so I am a boy or a girl?
What the...anyway, it got thousand different versions, also.
Jacky, Jackey, Jacqueline, and simply, Jack =)
Jackie, is a name given by my aunty.
Hmm, perhaps she knows that I will go to UK one day, so she put it in advance so that British can call my name easier?
Don;t really think so, and quite special as I am the only one having English name as official name among my siblings.
It can be good: It's really easy for people to call my name...
It can be bad: Need to write slightly more for applications...
Anyway, Jackie is a good name, should be.
Yet, in my memory, it's not my name until I was 12, I suppose.
Why? Because when I am in Kindergarden and Primary schools, the people registered me as Ho C.K., without my "Jackie", and since I have an official Chinese name, 志康，I am called either Ho C.K. or my Chinese name, till I was 12.
A little bit strange, yet when I saw my 'Jackie' on my birth cert when I was 12, a little bit, slightly shocked.
Then I adopt the name for UPSR, and then, from High School onwards, I am Jackie, till now.
And adopting British style, I prefer 'Jack' sometimes, shorter, and it sounds nice, that's what I think-lah.
志康，ambition to be healthy. Suppose this name is quite correct, as I think my immune system is quite strong, anyway. At least I have less colds, flus, than others, and I should be grateful.
Suppose health is a state of well-being either physically, emotionally, spiritually...I think I achieved those, till I was 20, or 21?
Not healthy enough since adulthood? Sarcastically? Huh?
I missed to be called "Khong". You can call it in the second or third sound in Mandarin Chinese.
That's my "cutie call" in my family. I missed those warm calls...
Even my siblings call me Jackie now...hmm... I think they always call me in that way isn't? Or they just call me "ko-ko" sometimes (unofficial call for 'brother')...I started to get confused, even in this small issue?
That's not important, anyway...I am always their responsible brother, always. =)

Today is Sin Yee's 22th birthday.
It reminds me that not only she, I myself is getting older and older...oopps...more mature...more mature...
It's a happy and warm atmosphere with Passion Fruit cake from Pattisierie Valerie (do I have the right spelling?). And I suppose, that's a good small break in these intense revision period.
Thanks Sin Yee's mom to make her be born on this date. Not later. Not earlier. Just nice period.
What de??? LOL~
Ok, Ok...Joking only, Joking only...
Yet suddenly I felt like humans sound keep 'crashing' my eardrum. I started to feel restless, headache...
I am sorry...I just wanna go home, at that little moment...
And sorry to leave early, and sorry to Sin Yee to play a trick on her today: make her find her present in the Kitchen's cupboards...LOL~
Happy birthday, Sin Yee!
