I am a Penguin in a Zoo......

I found out last night, at the Juice annual launch, that apparently I am referred to the ‘CB dude’ by colleagues of a mate of mine. CB = Cibai, due to my half Chinese (Chi) & half Punjabi (bai) heritage.

Wow! I think more people know me by The Cibai then my actual name LOL. Maybe, I should have a band of made up of Cibai’s and call ourselves The Cibai. Cibai Rocks!!

This triggered fond memories during my drive home from Chynna Bar. It is funny how people tend to always have nicknames for others. Can’t deny I am guilty of it.

Thinking back to my high school days, we all had nick names for every bloody one @_@. Hmmm, the following are some of mine which I still remember:

Cibai - the top of the lot, guess it’s the easiest to relate to and easy on the tongue lol, not to mention there where not a lot of real Cibai around @_#

Singh Babi - given by a certain Chinese Gorilla stuck in the middle of Melbourne

Vela Paandi - Tamil for White Pig, given by my dearest mate Scavenger Joe aka Jaya. I used to be fairer then most of my mates. Its not that I am damn fair or wat, its just that most my mates Indians lol

Penguin - My classmates called me this when they saw my feet during footie. I’ve got a big body but small feet. This triggered some of those small feet = small wiener jokes, which I believe to be untrue.

These are the only ones I remember but I am sure there where lots more. Hmm, how I used to so damn pissed off when people call me those names but now I think back and laugh. Funny times. I wished I had the super power to recall everyones Nicknames & the story behind it, sure damn kaww funny.

I feel a little nostalgic as I have lost touch with most of the guys which called me those names. So this is a dedication to all the Binatangs, 67s & Colour Wolves that I spent a good 11 years of my life with.

p.s: This is a disclaimer. The names above may only be used by the buggers that attended the same shit hole educational institution as myself. All others may only use the 1st on the list which I forgive due to the punt, you sick twats! ha ha ha ha!
