What's in a name

People always asked me from where I got the ideas for my son's name,what it meant,I should get a better name..bla bla bla. To be honest the name Hermie Aldrin comes from the brand Hermes and Zouk resident DJ Aldrin. No I'm not an Hermes fan and I do not owned any Hermes items..its just that while walking along town we(me and wifey) saw the brand and just fine tuned it to Hermie. Pronounced as Her-mi some people pronounced it as Hairr-mi I doesnt bother me at all. For Aldrin is a no brainer,I'm a great fan of DJ Aldrin from way back in 98. I do not realy care much with the meaning of the name just simply because I dun see the need to be so caught up about all this "have a good name and he will grow up as a good person" mentality.
I have frens wif names like Mohd but is now serving 18yrs in jail for drug traficking,Sulaiman who did jail time for selling vcds,adam whose serving time for manslaughter and the list goes on...
To me how the kid grew up reflects on how u raise the kid as a parent. I might give my kid a name of Mohd Gaddafi Al-Bustam which maybe means the Great Warrior of The Ganges River but if I don't raise him up properly it doesnt mean a shit.
But again as of my other thought provoking entries,others will have different views on these,but thats ok. So whats the name of my future kids if I decided to have more...hmmmm Hernie Andiyanie,Hernie Andinie,Herlie Armin,Helzie Aiman,Herna Ardiyana,Herda Aziana,Hiddie Adriyan..Do they have meanings?? I doubt so but I just like the names...hehe

In Celebration of a Life well lived...

"Human beings are mortal beings.And death is a certainty for all but death need not be our preoccupation.It can help us think of how we live.In this sense,dealing with death is about how to live.It helps us to enhance life and clarity what matters in life"

"I have to practise this death awareness and remind myself that mortality has to be incorporated into my daily conciousness.When I do this I pay a little more attention to how I live. I am not paralysed by the fear of death.Instead,I focus on life and what really matters to me so that when death beckons,I will be ready.I have no wish to extend my life when my time is up"

Great quotes from an even greater man.I might not knew the late Mr AY in person,but just by attending the memorial inspired me to live a better life.Thank you.

Compassionate

I'm on compassionate leave since last friday. My granny past away on friday morning so I just need to add 1707 to 1310 to the numbers that I need to memorise. Granny followed ma' sooner than I expected, not that I expect her to pass away. Anyway the funny thing was as I watched her on her deathbed,tears started to flow down my cheek not because i actually thought of her but actually due to the fact that flashbacks of ma' on her deathbed started to occur. I've never thought that I would go back to the hospital like 9mths after ma' had left me.
Anyway 2 of the best cooks in the family decided not to extend their stay on planet earth. I was never really close to granny nor was i distant from her. The fact that I hate my aunt makes me do not wanna see her often. But I do hav fond memories of her like how she used to give me $10 to share wif my sisters whenever I went to visit her place. The 3 of us would rotate who would get $4 and the rest will get $3. Well those were memories and life need to go on ain't it...
It just reminds us how fragile life is but having said that you need to make use of your time on planet earth...have a good week ahead

Black Berry Boys..

Ok so i just got my Blackberry Curve...part peer pressure and part i just need everything on the go. So fuck it for $98 a pop, its a no brainer. Anyway its a corporate plan, so kinda slightly cheaper then normal plans. The funny thing was, the people at work were like damn suaku about me getting a BB."Wah u want to become manager ah buy Blackberry??" WTF. When I said all my frens using BB, "Wah all your frens manager ah?" Duh!! That's how shallow the people at work are..anyway fuck all of them I'm stepping up my game. Lots of haters and lots of red and green eyes, but hey when you're on top, weakass poseurs will always wantto drag you down. Word of advise : Fuck Em' and just step your game up. " Catch me if you can..."
Have a good nite...

Pics are back

The blogspot encounter some hiccups and I can't post pics for the last few days..anyway checkout the pics from the Darbotz exhibition. This dude is damn talented. I'm looking forward to do some collaboration with him...

Monsters came out at nite

I spent the the friday nite at my spiritual home in tampines. Sometimes I felt miserable to leave the family all alone at home but I guess I have the responsiblity to check out on my dad at least once a week in person. Like knowing how's he's doing and stuffs and at the same time I felt at ease knowing that my late mum used to be there. Sometimes i felt that as if she's around looking at me from some corners of the house, deep in my heart I just wished that its true, but again reality bites at you. She would have been 62 today. I lurve you ma'.
I attended another exhibition just now. I will not comments bout the turn out but the artwork was awesome. I really like Darbotz werks and upcoming projects are in the pipeline real soon with SO boys. Anyway have a good wkend.
