This is my mom. She will be 80 come December. She is our mom as well as our PR Expertise. My 2 brothers, my sister and I came to know the LORD when we were attending Elim Gospel Hall. Because our age span (Between my eldest brother and I) is 11 years, naturally we have our own sets of friends (though many are common) that we have developed.
My parents just loves to have people visits our home and my mom being the PR Expertise would be busy cooking and feeding our friends...mainly after our Sunday School classes. And because many have visited our home...my mom would naturally knows most if not all our 4 "generations" of friends.
Now...she has one problem...remembering names...so what could she do? Develop a "sophisticated" system to remember names..ie Nicknames. If there is a PHD for Nicknames...she should be holding it and graduated with honours. She was so good at it, and had given so many out, that it has come to a point where..if you do not have a nickname you are not from Elim Gospel Hall. So in turn she was eventually given a nickname by one of our friends; "Soong Took Kook" or Immigration Department. (Though some have escaped without nicknames given by mom because she could miraculously remember their names, some came with their own nicknames)
Here are some of the nicknames given. (Wanna identify who you are?)
"Ke Che" (Reporter), Pei Sui (Secretary), Pillow Case, "Wok Chan" Nose, "Lo Su Lung" (Rat cage), So Ta Peng (Cream Cracker Biscuits), Ma Pin Lui (Pony Tail), "Tab Pa Se Che" (Riding Bus), "Cheng Ye Leng" (An Actress' Name), New Si Lan (New Zealand), "Pat Ko A" (8 A's), "Luk Ko A" (6 A's), "Ng Ko As" (5 A's) "Leong Ko As" (2 A's), "Ho Yum Kung" (Very Pitiful), "Ng Kuen Tang Ke" (Lost IC), "Moon Min Am Chong" (Face full of pimple), "Yit Sui Woo" (Hot Water Flask), "Tai Ngan Mui" (Big Eyes), "Leng Lui" (Beautiful Girl), "Wong Meng Chun", "Cheng Sau Mun", "Cheong Cheng Yee" (Actress' name), "Tai Seng Kung" (Mr Loud), "Tai Seng Kung Sai Loh" (Mr Loud's younger brother), "Tai Siew Poh" (Ms Big Laughter), "Tam Pa Che" (Umbrella Carrier), "Mai Meen Cai" Mee Seller, (I will continue with the list.)
