Some of my coursemates who celebrated my b'day in my hse last yr..Thx again guys!
spotted some lenglui's in my hall as well...hahaHow I got the name Gary Arwin...!
hehe, kind of funny but im proud how it originated..
I popped the question to my parents when I was in my primary 4 I guess...I went like..."Mummy papa, why u guys named me Gary Arwin?"....and the whole story begin...;)
Ok, the name GARY was actually given by my dad while my mum gave me the name ARWIN
How Gary crossed my dad's mind?...haha, it's like tis
I was born in the year 1986...it's the year where the world cup was held in Mexico....England took part in it and the great player by the name of Gary Lineker craved his name establishing himself as the top scorer in the tournament with 10 goals in 6 games. Woowwww!
And eventually I touched my feet on the earth on 1986 after the world cup and my dad named me after him as Gary Lineker was one of the best player at that point of time and my dad is football crazy just like me!. Hold on, I WAS NAMED AFTER A GREAT FOOTBALLER?! ...Waaalllaaaooo....im very very happy n proud of it sia!...my mum didnt like the idea tho' but, my dad had the last say..haha. Now u know how I got into football ryte! lol....
Gary Lineker after scoring 4 goals against Turkey...England won 4-2and know what, Gary Lineker came to Malaysia before in 1991 to play for England in a friendly match against the Malaysian National team...England Beat Malaysia 4-2 and Gary Lineker scored all 4 goals in National Stadium, Kuala Lumpur! Waaallaaooo~
Some facts about him...if ur interested that is :p
Gary Lineker
Born: 30 November 1960 (Leicester)
Ok, and how Arwin came by?
as u know, Arwin was named by my mum...she had the Hindu background hence she gave me a hindu name as well... according to her, it originated from some ancient sami named Arvind...and she did some modification and it became Arwin.haha, nice ryte? :P my mum didn't really elaborate more bout it but I found this out in thinkbabynames.com -> The boy's name Arwin \a-rwin, ar-win\ is a variant of Arvin (English, Old German), and the meaning of Arwin is "people's friend". Arwin is a very rare male first name and a very rare surname....:)
So here the morale of the story...if my dad can name me after a footballer, why can't I name my son(if I have any,haha) after a footballer too like Cristiano or Ronaldo?!...hehe, im certainly gonna do that!...lol :)
