CHICKY THE ORIGIN

Hmm I have a lot of people coming up to me and asking why the heck is my name Chicky...


It all started with in primary school . In standard 1, first day of class, got to know some new friends. And then they decided to give each other nicknames (so that we can remember each other). Well for those who dunno, my name is Chan Chee Kin. Haha so the closest they can think of for me is Chicken. Now before we can go on with that, I have another class mate whose name is Lau Chee Kin. So we can't be calling both of us chicken. So they decided to call him Kencing instead. Now being the new LaSallian (haha), I felt that the name Kencing sounds down grading (like chicken is not). I asked my friend when was his birthday. His birthday is earlier than mine, so I thought I have an idea. We should call him old chicken and then me young chicken. Haha well the gang was okay with it and for a few weeks I was called Young Chicken. I must add that we called each other in cantonese.


A few weeks later, the name kinda got harder to call, so they keep calling me Chick. Cause a baby chicken is called a chick. Now I think it's going to traumatize me if my friends call me Chick. Hmm so I decided to change it. So the whole night I was thinking what should I call myself.......And then it came to me CHICKY...........hahaha......told them the next day and hey presto I was Chicky ever since then.


Of course along the way, my name started to evolve. I had nicknames like Ken (Street Fighter), Alien, Baron, A.A., and many more.


Disclaimer: My nickname is no whatsoever related with Chicky from KFC haha. As far as I know it, my name came first!!!
