Of my dream girl and my nightmarish name
Just a disclaimer, disregard the date of my last blog
post, I did post it on the 11.11.11. The date was decided by the Blogger
website who/whom had no idea whatsoever where my location is at the moment. It
was 11.11.11 in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore, the 3 countries that I have
studied in. Thus, I DID post on the 11.11.11.
Since then, it has been 3 days. So far, no one has
noticed nor commented on the anomaly on that post. I find that marginally
amazing. You see, after the paragraph which I mentioned the Kpop Music Festival
(for those less-informed individuals, this is an event that showcases Korean
Stars’ talents), I placed a few pictures to make my blog more colourful. Out of
these 3 pictures, one of them is the odd one out. If you didn’t notice, check
out my last post again. Isn’t it obvious?
Definitely Kara’s Seungyeon. She is the only on with
short hair and a white top. She is also my favourite Kpop star. Duh~

I kid I kid. Seems like Esther fit in well with two of
the greatest Kpop artists considering that no one has expressed their confusion
or exasperation on my choice of pictures. The reason is either most of my
readers don’t follow Korean music news much or Esther is actually as pretty as….nevermind.
I think most people here don’t know much about Kpop.
I’m being a little down under the weather these days
seeing that I let a chance to attend the Kpop Music Festival slip out of my
fingers. Just a little bit more push and I would have flown there last week. Bye
bye KARA~
In all honesty, I don’t consider myself a Kpop maniac. In
fact, I rarely follow Kpop nowadays. The only Korean show I watch now is
Running Man. Watch it, it is hilarious. But besides that, I don’t really watch
shows solely featuring for Kpop stars anymore. I’m just an ordinary single guy
who is looking for interesting shows. That said, I can remember and differentiate
all members of Girl’s Generation, KARA, T-ARA, 4MINUTE, f(x) and Secret.
Speaking of names, I have been pondering about my name
for a while. As I was growing up, my name (for those extremely less-informed
people, it is Bryan) is a fairly common name. In fact, the spelling seems to be
fairly common. But now, I find that most people are named ‘Brian’ instead of ‘Bryan’.
It is to the extent of people assuming my name is ‘Brian’.
Things aren’t so bad, I don’t blame them. But if they
misspell my
name in an email or in Facebook, it is just weird. You see, to send
an email to me, or do anything to my Facebook, they would have to come across
my real name. Yes, BRYAN. However, after clicking through various links with
the word ‘BRYAN’, they still managed to refer to me as ‘Brian’. I mean, do you
guys think I typo’d my account?
This is conspiracy, this is controversy, THIS IS SPARTAAAA
STEREOTYPING. I think the heat is getting to my head.
I like my name, it is a great name.

Strangely, my siblings have unique names that are rarely
found around the world. None of them has ever met another friend who shares
their name. I, on the other hand, have known 5 in primary school and secondary
school, 3 during my polytechnic years and 3 in university. That is just those I
can remember at the top of my head. Sadly, my dad almost named me Tyson, after
the boxer who bit someone else’s ear off. He is the cleverer version of Van
Gogh.
I am pretty happy I wasn’t named Tyson. I would have been
teased so much when that boxer bit off some other guy’s ear.
A toast to all the ordinary names in the world!
Cheers.
as pretty as?? :) hahaha! Bryan is a nice name! when i was younger i wanted to name my son Bryan! but now its changed not because i dislike the name but because its abit common... now ppl go to names like Tyson! haha! but im thankful you are not name Tyson.. coz it will be pretty weird:P
haha, joking laaaa. But i don't think many people here are into Kpop. =C
I hope u meant Bryan and not Brian. hehehehehe
you should name your son Bryan, it is a great name. 10 years from now, Bryan won't be that common anymore. Common names will be Bieber or Goku next time.
