Some Things About Me...
Well, dont ask me why I'm typing this. I have no idea why I would start this entry with such a title. I guess its just to introduce myself to the people who are reading this blog, especially to the 2 'Aunties' I met in the school library.
YEAH!! That's for you!! Small Auntie & Middle Auntie!!No offence for the nicknames but since I dont know the two of you well and I dont wish that the whole of Canberra Secondary will visit my blog day and night, to do something funny with my tagboard and other stuff, which Patricia and Siew Hui have been doing this days, probably weeks. I've SUFFERED enough under the creative minds of the 2 gals from A.M.K. Secondary. I mean, not another 2 more gals to pile up the whole crap... Haix...
Alright, let's start the introduction then...
Name: 'Nicholas' Teo Wei Teck (张伟德)Dont ask me why I have such a weird name. Its probably translated from Chinese to get its English form. Well, if you want to know more about my name, ask my Mum. She has all the answers to it.
By the way, many would be curious why I have the name 'Nicholas' in my profile. Well, 'Nicholas' is not my the name that can be found in my I/D. Its just a name that I have chose for myself. I dont know why I would choose such a name but I guess it does fits into my full name so that's why I put it as part of my name. Another coincidence about this name is on the meaning of 'Nicholas'. Here's the description:
From the Greek name Nikolaos which meant "victory of the people" from Greek nike "victory" and laos "people". Saint Nicholas was a 4th-century bishop from Anatolia who, according to legend, saved the daughters of a poor man from lives of prostitution. He is also known as Santa Claus (from Dutch Sinterklaas), the bringer of Christmas presents. He is the patron saint of children, sailors and merchants, and Greece and Russia. Nicholas was also the name of two czars of Russia and five popes. Not saying that the people needs me but something similiar here is the word 'victory'. I'm always seeking for a win, especially when its competitive games such as soccer. To me, I believe that never give up is always the best remedy to succeed and determination is the key towards victory.
Well, back to the topic. Very seldom people in Canberra Secondary will call me Nicholas as I never used that name until I reached Polytechnic. Its only my CCA mates called me that. Hence, just call me 'Wei Teck' will do but if you really have probs mentioning or pronouncing the name, then 'Nicholas' or 'Nic' will do. LOL!! I dont want my name to be a difficult name to be pronounced, just like a kid learning phoenix. Haha...
Favourites: Sports, especially soccer...Due to my classmates influence, soccer slowly became the sport of my life. I may not be a professional or good soccer player but with the heart to play hard, that is what it takes to be part of this beautiful game. People then to think that I'm quite crazy as I could be exercising for the whole day with 3 different sports and I never seem to be tired or saying 'ENOUGH'. Haha...
During my days in Canberra Secondary, you can see me running up and down, and no matter what, I will run. Think I'm crazy, yeah, you bet but that's my way of life. I just wish to train to become better each time when I play a sport and I dont believe in defeats. That's why I could be quite violent while playing competitive games as the ego in me to win the games moves to its extreme. Hot tempered at many occasions but I just wish I could learn to control them.
Well, that's also another reason why this blog could be quite boring as I type about my soccer experience most of the time. Its not that I've no life but things are stick as it is, like a routine. Yeah... With my love in sports, I was in Nanyang Polytechnic, under Sport & Wellness Management Course and currently working in swimming pools as a Lifeguard. It seems like the Singapore Sports Council (SSC) is part of my life now. LOL!!
Well, for now, I hope the 2 'Aunties' would understand my name and not calling me a crazy person. Anyway, you gals missed the pizza that we had ordered!!! 4 PIZZAS and you gals didnt grab a bite??!! Hmmm... Next time then... LOL!!
