Post 2.. About 'Jovyne - Ray'

That day when I was bathing.. I wondered.. How did the name "Jovyne-Ray" came about... And I seriously thought for a while.. And I remembered now.. Let me tell you a story...

A certain white house on Lengkok Sg Dua, Gelugor, Penang, Malaysia. 9.00 pm. 2009. 

A phone call came. 

"Hello, is Xin Ray there?"

"Yes, wait a second.." My grandma picked up the phone.

She left it by the table, went by the stairs, and shouted "A RUUUUUUUUIIIII!!!! Phone!!" 

I heard her, and picked up the phone,

"Hello?" I said to the phone.

"Hello, Xin Ray? This is Alyssa. I have a ....." I carried my conversation on with Alyssa, my best friend that have stuck with me since 3rd grade.

.....The next day.....

"Oh, hi Alyssa" I greeted her in school.

"Oh, A Rui." She had a grin on her face.

I was shocked by what she said, and she told my friends about the phone call from the previous night. 

So, it turned out that's how they called my for the years after.

Since my nickname that I use in my internet accounts is Jovyne, and I thought that putting the names together would be cool, so it turned into "Jovyne - Ray".. 

Weird, eh... But these brings back memories...

When I think about something next time, I'll write again :) 

Intro and first day.

You know how sometimes you would just stare at the ceiling and flashback to things that made you who you are now? Well, I just thought of one of them, and I thought, why not write those down?? That would be cool.
So, I came out with an idea on writing one of those every two or three days. If I remember.

Today's flashback:
Penang, Malaysia. SRJK(C) Keong Hoe. Block A. 3rd Floor. Class 6M.
2010. Somewhere around March.
Colored pens suddenly got popular between my best friends. This was started by one of my best friends in class, Yan Shan (Meiiz). We often use these colored pens to write random stuff like who we like, hate, or just how we feel or song lyrics on the back of our homework diaries. We also often use these colored pens to draw and work on our own font. We would often exchange each other's homework diaries and look at the stuff we write in them. I realized how Meiiz had one of the most beautiful fonts, and so I thought of learning how to do it. Sometimes, I would ask her how she did some of the fonts, and she also realized how I was trying to copy her type of font, and she said something I would never forget:
“不要再学我了。自己做自己的啦。” (basically saying "Don't try to imitate me, make your own one.")

At that time, I know that she was referring to the font, and I thought to myself that I just wanted to have pretty font too. Though, now that I think about it, she must've meant 'don't copy others, make something that says YOU on it'. I'm actually really grateful for it. ^.^
(Though my font writing really got on affected because of all those times that I tried to imitate it. Heehee >.<)
