Acronyms...Acronyms...
Everyone seems to have one to define them...to identify them...MBBS, MD, Ir., PJA, SPGP, SSM, SMN, PMN, Y.B., Y.A.B., et cetera, et cetera...Some denotes profession, some titles and some awards...
I have my own set of acronyms myself!
When I was 5, I was PiTB - Short for Pain in The Butt. If my darling brother wants to know how his LEGO pieces ended behind the cupboard, that was me...(coz he never shared!)
When I was 10, I was ECNG - English-speaking, Cocky New Girl where only one other person in the whole school, understood my sarcasm enough to hate me...Owh and that was my sister.
By 15, I was BBW - Bespectacled, Book Worm. (I still am...except now I wear lenses).
3 years later at 18, I was DaSaSfSTPM - Depressed and Suicidal and Sitting for STPM
At 23, I was IL - In Love
When I graduated at 24, I wanted to be CSI (Crime Scene Investigator) but I could only be MLT (Medical Lab Technician) so I joined M-MAP (Maxis Management Associate Programme) and became an MA (Management Associate).
Yesterday I graduated. So, I lost an acronym. Not an MA (Management Associate) anymore.
No choice but to be content with just being mrs. Lee Yin Jong, SPAD (Self-proclaimed adorable daughter) of my parents, AS (Awesome Sister) to my siblings and WTF (Well-meaning, Trustworthy, Faithful) to my friends...
Now and Always,
