Meaning behind My Little *Ah Seng*

I’ve been so lazy to do any memes the past few weeks and they are piling up higher than Mt Everest! hehehe *exegerate a bit*  I still owes a lot of mommies’ tags! Please be patient ah…. I’ll try my best to do all!

Guess what? I have been tagged not once but double, triple, quantuple and finally quintuple on this particular tag! Keng or not????? (sorry, if I’ve missed out anyone)

Wanted to do earlier but was thinking I go find the Chinese word first but again, I was super duper lazy…. as usual! Another reason was, I have forgotten the meanings behind those words… and always forgot to ask my dad… so lagi more delayed.

Now, before another mommy or daddy decided to tag me again on this I better cepat-cepat do my homework!

The name ‘Darrius‘ was actually picked by me. Yeah, PiggyBeng said since I EFNTD, so better do something worthy while waiting to pop! The original spelling is ‘Darius’ and was the name of a  Great Persian King (King Darius the Great, 549BC-486BC). I seldom see this name being used so it’s kinda unique to me. At first I thought of changing the spelling to ‘Dreyrius‘ to make it even more stylo-milo but PiggyBeng said why make things so complicated? Anyway, my hands still itchy and added another ‘r’ to it so it’s Darrius now.

As for Darrius’s Chinese name, it was picked by both PiggyBeng and my dad. Have wanted to give my FIL the honour but he is also a banana like myself and PiggyBeng so he told us to do the selection. My dad actually came out with a few names but they don’t sounds too nice though they have very nice meaning behind.

Finally, during a family gathering in Ipoh just before I popped, PiggyBeng and my dad brainstormed and came out with JiaCheng (pronounced as Jia-Chern). Don’t ask me about the Chinese words, I am still not sure how to write them! The name derived from one of the world’s richest man, Mr Lee Kah Shing from Hong Kong. Instead of using the Cantonese version we used the ping-yin version so it can fit nicely in all dialects.

The meaning of ’Jia‘ is “jovial” and ’Cheng‘ is “successful” (chen-kung in Mandarin) . Of course every parents want their kids to be someone who is always happy as well as successful mah… further more my PiggyBeng is so obsessed with $$$! He hoped his son will be the next richest man! Bleh~

Hmm…. I’m named after a King ah?

So, in Hokkien, Darrius’s name is Ah Seng! So now I have both Ah Beng and Ah Seng at home My Beng-ish darlings…. hehehe Currently there’s this Taiwanese show, Taiwan Ah Seng playing on Ch8…. he’s also a ’successful businessman’ wor… hehehe So, will my Little Ah Seng be a successful businessman one day???

Ok, now for the linky stuff…. to be fair, I linked everyone with their origional links….
