Wow~ there's a sudden interest in why i chose the nick "jumbosale"... [check out my tag board on the right]

Mmm~ it's nothin' very interesting really.

It was in secondary 1, then i was first exposed to irc during one of the computer lesson. and i needed an interesting nick.

First I tried tomatoface (which was my nickname during primary school cos my face will turn red when i laugh very hard), but it's just so... not nice.

Then I tried shampoo, because of the "johnson & johnson" shampoo. Then weird boys start mistaken me as some nanyang girls' high's hot babe. All thanks to the stupid "I'm In Trouble" song by the group called "Shampoo" as well. Can you imagine when a nick like "hotguy" suddenly message me and say "hey, babe! wanna call and meet up?" i get that message every time for the next few irc sessions.

So, I was desperately trying to find a nickname representative of myself, out of this world (that no one in the world would tot of using) and representative of, most importantly, my gender as well. That's when I started thinking of using a nickname starting with the letter "J" since my english name was called Johnson and my chinese name can be pronounced with a "J" sound. (you know, Zhengyong can well be pronounced "Jengyong" for the foreigners) SO~ i tot... and tot...

then i started using "jumbosale". then ppl started to call me "hey, jumbo" in irc. makes me feel good. and it starts with a "J", and it sort of mean like i'm so skinny cos all my flesh are sold off in a jumbosale liao, nothin' left. And the best thing is, NO ONE IN THE WORLD IS USING THIS NICK! whoot! i totally don't like to use numbers in my nick u know? lots of people are oredi using "johnson" so i have to resort to "johnson_84" or even "johnson__84" to get the available nick. So sian. Jumbosale is good. no one is using. see, even my blogsite is "jumbosale.blogspot.com" and not "johnson_1984.blogspot.com". don't you just hate numbers? *shake head*

yup, that's the history of how the nick jumbosale came about.

for those who came here thinking it's another "eBay" or something, sorry! then again, why don't you just go to www.ebay.com? u very weird leh.
