What's in a Name?

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose, By any other word would smell as sweet."
--From Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)

What happen if 7 solehah chicks named themselves 'Tengkorak'? (No, they are not black metal group in disguise). Well, nothing changed about them, isn't it. They are still beautiful, cute, nice (in some ways. Huhu) and most important, they're still the best wife candidates (if you're looking for one la. Gals, I'm promoting you here. Threat me at Genting tau). But why they called themselves in such a dreadful name? If you were to ask them, they won't even now how to answer because the history is complex.

Naming a group or band isn't such a big deal especially when your band/group will last like tomorrow. Any names will do. But naming your child is another story. Some people would put some weird name (like Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter, Apple --a food name?), some people use simple and old school name and some even combine both parents name (this is the worse. What if the parents' name are Karim & Mastura? Kamas? Rimas? hehe). Well, there's a few tips of naming your child. First, pick a name. Try to imagine that you're 8-9 years old kid and find some funny names that can be make from the name that you chose. Can't find one? That's the correct name. Huhu. It's simple right. Ok, don't follow. It's crap.

The reason I'm crapping (is there such a word?) is because I'm hungry. Better stop before it's getting worse. (Another reason is... next time I tell you).

Mengikut hikayat Merong Mahawangsa edisi lanun Petaling Street..arakian asal usul nama tengkorak ini amat ler kompleks sekali... Sahibul hikayat menceritakan bahawa ketika dulu ada sekumpulan dayang yg terlatih menjadi ‘spy’ diraja...amat ler ‘terror’ mereka ini hingga mampu menyelamatkan rakyat2 yang tertindas.

Disebut juga pada suatu hari seorang dayang telah mendapat maklumat yang amat penting dari ketua kerajaan Antah-Berantah, disebabkan mahu menyelamatkan rakyat maka maklumat tersebut disebarkan ke serata kerajaan. Hatta bergembiralah rakyat jelata..namun entah bagaimana maklumat sulit tersebut telah terlepas ke kerajaan seberang...dan akibatnya kerajaan seberang telah bertindak merendahkan martabat dan meyerang rakyat jelata termasuk dayang-dayang sekali.

Kecewa dengan tindakan mantan Bendahara yang membocorkan rahsia...dayang2 tersebut telah bertindak menubuhkan gerakan bawah tanah mereka sendiri..dan kerana tidak mahu dikaitkan dengan mana-mana pertubuhan atas tanah hatta kerajaan langit Ayah Pin sekalipun ..melalui undian dan tapisan2 ketat umpama tapisan ‘dialyzer’maka dayang2 telah sepakat memilih nama ‘Tengkorak Pt. Ltd’ dan bergerak secara solo tanpa memikul tanggungjawab memelihara rakyat jelata..

- Dipetik drpd Hikayat Merong Titiwangsa edisi Jawa...hehehehehe

¡Feliz Ano Nuevo! Selamat Tahun Baru!
