bones sinking like stones.

... As you can see, the low education names are usually mis-spellings - intentional or not - of more standard names. This seems typical of (mostly Chinese) Singaporean names as well. Tell me you don't know any kids with names like Elvyn, Febii (pronounced Phoebe) and Lawrenz or shit like that. And all the crazy made-up names from god knows where, Brayden (Zoe Tay's kid), Adoncia (a friend professed this would be her child's name), and so on.

One favourite Singaporean trick is the adding of a 'son' at the end of everything. For example, Johnson, Billson, Davidson and the like. It's embarrassing, man. I'm just waiting for the day someone decides to one-up everyone else and name his kid Johnsonson. Mind you, I think it'll happen. So anyway, my point, is don't give your kid a crazy name. Not only does it make your kid look stupid, it kind of infers that you're not that sharp yourself. ...

got this off from zerotwohero who plans to read one book a week(and he's still on course). i take an average of 2 months to read one book, well below national average.
