Alot of Fun

Been busy throughout the week. Alot of night outs and alot of fun. Drank alot but I never got seriously drunk.

First off, congratulations to Mavis who just newly-wed. I attended both wedding dinner of hers and it was an amazing experience. Once again my fashion became the spotlight of the night but sorry that I wore black. People don't 'pantang' so much nowadays. It's ok to wear black. Photos available in Facebook.

Next, I wish "Happy Birthday" to Win (El Gee staff). I was so pleasant to attend your b'day party. It was fab and very successful. Your friends were very supportive. Thanks for inviting and giving me a great night. Some photos have been up on my Facebook.

It was so tiring and lack of sleep. This weekend will be a pig at home, sleep, sleep, sleep!!!

Happy Birthday Melvin!!!

Happy Birthday Melvin~!!! Thank you everyone who wrote on my FB wall, sms me and call me for the great birthday wish. I appreciate you guys very much. I didn't login to drop by a post for 2 weeks. Been busy working, gym, facebooking and twittering.

My friends celebrated my birthday with me at Palace three days earlier which was on Saturday night. The earliest birthday celebration in my life. But still it was great and happy. I blew the candles at midnight but I didn't really make a wish as I'm still blur and got a little drunk that night. Check out the photos in my Facebook!

The next morning (Sunday) I woke up early and went to the market to buy stuffs for a steamboat dinner at night. Then went home to place those stuffs in the fridge before headed to Puduraya to fetch Jojo who came all the way from Ipoh to celebrate my birthday (as if!). Next, we went shopping around Bukit Bintang, from Sungei Wang to Pavilion. After that went home and prepare the steamboat dinner. It was all fun and very full.

The next day (Monday), I went to work as usual. After work I went to Miharja for a hair-cut. I love my hair and I'm totally fresh now!!

As for today, the main day of my birthday, I will be going for dinner with my mom. We have Korean food. Check out the photos on my Facebook.

May Events

May is a happening month for me. First there's Sleaze Ball V 2009 at the beginning of the month. Then some problem with a friend and I don't really know how to settle it (I don't really know what he's thinking). Well, I just don't want to bother anything happen in the world now. I just live my life and that's OK. During this few weeks, I'd drink alot, always get drunk (not really drunk tho!). It's not easy to make me drunk. This Friday will be a birthday bash for my friend, Joshua, at Greenbox Sg Wang. Pre-wish him Happy Birthday!!! Everytime sing K also sing like a mad people, I can sing for hours in the k-box as if I'm doing my concert. LOL.

As for today, we went to El Gee for some drink. Joshua was drunk and vomit all night long. Hope you get well soon. Here are some photos of the night in my Facebook. Check it out!!!

Sleaze Ball V 2009

The fifth year Princeworld KL organised Sleaze Ball. Day 1 was held in Orange, Day 2 in Oblique and Day 3 in Maison. I only attended Day 1 and 2. The club was pack and crowded and the music was loud.

Day 1 in Orange was unforgettable. I admire the green lights shooting everywhere in the club. The atmosphere was great. And there's a performance which was brilliant. I like the 'Pokerface - Lady Gaga' sequence where the dancers were hot and very well choreographed. The performer was great in dancing and miming and she looked like real Lady Gaga.

Day 2 was unexpected and didn't plan to go, but I was there! I love the music here thanks to DJ Princess Ann and DJ Ano. I danced really crazy that my hair and T-shirt get wet, but I still dun dare to take off my shirt. I just want more parties like this!

P/S: Some photos available in my Facebook. Thanks.

Working Saturday

Today was like a working day for me. I woke up and had a brunch with a friend at the mamak beside the swimming pool of my condo. Then I went home and did a bunch of housework. I washed my bedsheets, hanged them in the sun and replace the clean bedsheets on my bed. I washed all my dirty clothes and hanged them up in the yard. I cleaned the ceiling fan of my room and the living room. I cleaned the kitchen's basin. I wiped my room's furniture and accidentally broke my mirror and then the additional sweeping work came. I swept all over my room. Oops...! I forgot to mop the floor. Maybe I just got too tired and soon after finished all the works, I took a shower and lied on the bed to rest.

Can't believe I had the initiative to do housework today.

My Name "俊杰"

Translingual for Han Character (taken from wiktionary.org)

俊 : 1. talented, capable 2. handsome

杰 : 1. hero 2. heroic, outstanding

So I think the combination of my name would give the meaning:

俊杰 : Talented, capable, handsome and outstanding Hero
黃俊杰 : Talented, capable, handsome and outstanding Hero of the Ng family

Until today only I found out the meaning of my Chinese name.

My Surname "黃"

黃 : Wong
Wong is the transliteration of the Chinese family name (黃) which means yellow literally. Wong is the eighth most common Chinese surname, with a worldwide population of more than 41 million (2000 estimate).

It is transliterated to Huang, Wing, Vong, Bong, Ng, Wee, Oi, Oei or Ooi, Ong or Hwang due to dialect-language variations.

Dialect Variants
Wong — Cantonese/Yue, Fuzhou, Hakka/Kejia, Gan
Huang, Hwang — Mandarin
Bong — Hakka/Kejia
Huynh/Hoang — Vietnamese
Hwang — Korean
Ng — Hokkien/Min, Teochiew/Chaoshan
Oei, Ooi, Oi, Wee — Hokkien/Min
Ong — erroneous transliteration of "Ng"

The Wong Surname — Introduction
Wong is surname #96 in "Hundreds Family Surnames" (百家姓). Wong ranks 8th among Chinese surname clans and has a worldwide population of more than 31 million (2000 est.).

Origin
Wong is an ancient surname which origin could be traced back more than 4,200 years to the days of the legendary sage emperors preceeding the Xia dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Shun (帝舜), Hui Lian (惠連), the son of Lu Zhong (陸終), a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, Huang Di (黄帝), scored a merit in harnessing river floods, and Emperor Shun conferred on Hui Lian the state of Can'hu (参胡) (in present-day region of Fenyang (汾陽), Shanxi province (山西省), China). It was the year 2220 BC. Emperor Shun renamed Can'hu "the State of Huang" (黄國), and bestowed on Hui Lian the surname "Huang" (黄) and the name "Yun" (雲). Hence, Hui Lian was also known as Huang Yun (黄雲). Hui Lian became the Progenitor of the Huang Surname Clan. The descendants of Huang Yun (Hui Lian) ruled the Huang State of Shanxi until the early "Spring and Autumn Period" (春秋時代) (722 BC-481 BC) when it was conquered by the State of Jin (晋國).

Development and Emigration
In 891 BC, King Xiao of Zhou (Zhou Xiao Wang — 周孝王) conferred on the 53rd generation descendant of Hui Lian, Huang Xi (黄熙) (aka Huang Shi — 黄石) the nobility of "Hou" (Duke — 侯) and a dukedom in the region east of the Han river (漢水) (in present-day region of Yicheng (宜城), Hubei (湖北 province) called "Huang" (黄) (Not to be confused with the Huang State of Fenyang, Shanxi) with the four states Jiang (江), Huang (黄) (founded by Bo Yi's (伯益) descendants), Dao (道), and Bo (柏) in the Huang river (潢水) valley as vassals. The Huang State of Yicheng, Hubei was known as the "Western Huang" (Xi Huang — 西黄) in history.

In 845 BC, Duke Wen (文侯) Huang Meng (黄孟) (aka Huang Zhang — 黄璋) moved the capital of the State of Huang from Yicheng to Huangchuan (潢川) (present-day Huangchuan — 潢川, Henan — 河南省) and founded a new Huang State. Huang Xi's descendants ruled State of Huang until 648 BC when it was destroyed by the State of Chu (楚國). The Duke of Huang, Duke Mu (穆侯) Huang Qisheng (黄企生), who narrowly escaped, fled to the State of Qi (齊國) (in present-day Linzi, Shandong province 山東省). The people of Huang were forced to relocate to Chu, to the region of present-day Hubei province, known as the Jiangxia Prefecture (江夏郡) during the Han dynasty (漢朝) (206 BC-AD 220). There are many places in this region today that were named after Huang e.g Huanggang (黄岡), Huangpi (黄陂), Huangmei (黄梅), Huangshi (黄石) etc. A large number of the people of Huang were also relocated to regions south of the Changjiang/Yangtze River (長江). Among them were descendants of the aristocratic family of Huang, who later assimilated with the local indigenous tribes and their descendants became the Huangs of the non-Han ethnic minorities living in south China today.

After three centuries in decline, the Huang family resurged when Huang Xie (黄歇), a descendant of the aristocratic family of the vanquished Huang State was made the Prime Minister of the State of Chu. Huang Xie was conferred "Lord of Chunshen" (春申君) (314 BC-238 BC). During the Han dynasty, Huang Ba (黄霸) (130 BC- 51 BC) also became the prime minister. The Huang clan reached the zenith of fame and power during the Han dynasty.

From Jiangxia,the Huang Clan later spread to other parts of China and later on to other parts of the world. Hence Jiangxia is regarded as the Cradle of the Huang Clan and the name "Jiangxia" was adopted as the clan's "Hall name" (堂號). Today, the Huang surname Clan is known as the "Huang Clan of Jiangxia". The name "Jiangxia" has become a synonym of Huang Surname Clan.

During the Jin dynasty (晋朝) (AD 265-AD 420), when northern China was invaded by the barbarian tribes, many northerners (especially the aristocratic clans) moved to south China with the Jin court. It was during this period that the Huang2 Clanmen migrated to Fujian (福建省).

According to Min Shu (閩書) (Book of Min) (Quoted from Chung Yoon-Ngan):
"During the second year (of the reign) of Yong Jia (308AD) the Central Plain was in chaos and the eight (aristocratic) Clans:- Lin (林), Huang (黄), Chen (陳), Zheng (鄭), Zhan (詹), Qiu (邱), He (何), and Hu (胡), entered Min (閩) (present day Fujian province, China)."

From the Tang dynasty (AD 618-AD 907) onwards, Huang Clansmen migrated from Fujian to Guangdong (廣東省) and to the other southern provinces. Huang Clan grew into a big Clan in south China and became the 3rd biggest surname clan in south China today. (Related Article: How The Han Chinese Became The World's Biggest Tribe)

Migration to Taiwan (台灣) began during the transition period from the Ming (明) dynasty (1368-1644) to Qing (清) dynasty (1644-1912), when many Huang2 Clansmen followed the Anti-Manchu Ming loyalist forces under Zheng Chenggong (鄭成功), crossed the Taiwan straits to Taiwan island.

Huang migration overseas began as early as the 14th century during the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) to destinations in Southeast Asia. Migration to Americas began only in the mid-19th century following the forced opening of China's ports to the West. Huang is the largest Chinese surname clan in Americas today. The population of overseas Huang Clansmen was estimated at 2 million in 2000.
