I really can't believe this is the 400th entry for AZAIG. Feels as though I just started blogging yesterday. Ok, that’s exaggeration. More like I feel I just started blogging a month ago or something.
Anyway, lately; I have been getting mails asking me things like… “zewt, you don’t write Friday Frolics anymore?”
Honestly, it’s not easy to write genuine real life experiences that are funny and tickle you to your bone. Maybe they are deep down in my memory bank somewhere and I need to do a search but it usually don’t pop out just like that. And of course, I don’t get “pick up” in the gym every week so gym experiences are not a constant thing.
So for this Friday and in conjunction with AZAIG’s 400th post, I shall answer one question readers never fail to ask me… “Actually ah… what does Zewt means?”
I have actually written this before on my first century entry so, allow me to reproduce it here…
Zewt is of course… me… haha! Ok… crap aside, zewt actually evolved from my Chinese name. It was originally yewt. Right… now everyone out there is screaming… what is yewt? Yewt was derived from the following methodology…
Lau Tuck Wah = tuckw
Chow Yuen Fatt = yuenf
Chan Li Lian = lil
Lee Chong Wei = chongw
Tee Bee Ean = beee
Catch the flow? … Yeah, am sure you did. Well done! So yeah, it was derived from my Chinese name.
So how did yewt become zewt? Well, it just evolved that way… thought ‘z’ is more glamour than ‘y’. Besides, someone commented yewt sounds like nude, not very nice.
So now that you know how did zewt come about, and if you’re a Chinese… what is your zewtvolution name?

Happy 400th post!
Lucky your name is not Foo Kok Keong. Kokk or Fook! Can't win either way. Hahaha
Congrats on your 400th!
Hahaha. My yuiny evolve into yuinie because I think add -ie makes it sounds more 'chan chit gam'
hahaha... i have an english name and so, due to the gwailoh standard of english + middle (chinese) + family name, it became angiecltan lor...
I have a Malay name.
Mann?
Madh?
oh.. not so komersial la..
=)
u-jean is actually spelt as Yu Jean. My friend's mum misspelt it as "u-jean" one day and i thought "cool!" and adopted it :P
yew tong? yew tiong?
happy friday
I can only thank my parents for not naming me "Shi Teng" or any of the other variations.
My nick was given by a friend years ago. It was derived from my middle name (sook). I would have preferred it being derived from my actual name (fan) but he's right that 'sooky' definitely sounds better than 'fanny' (_|_) heh... :P
hmm..so ur chinese name is Yew T___. ;) mine wud be Peil. Sounds like some english surname. hahaha...
Happy 400th post!
well mine just sounds weird..hueij
or hueis just sounds like there are more than 1 huei..but i use that most of the time!

Then I'm "Lif".
But I have another name too-Jackie. It evolved from my sister calling me Jie Jie, in which she added Jie-eee, to make it sound cuter. Sometime after calling me Jie-yee, it became Jackie..now it's sorta my english name.
