FIRST PRIME-DAY!

Sub-title:
OF NAMES and ASPIRATIONS

It's a our First PRIMEDAY. It's also a GREATDAY, aka to the Internet-savvies here, a Gr8Day. It's also a GOoday.

No, not a Bluesundane Day; or Mayday, or Careday, or Shareday.

Just a lifting, prime-ministerial PRIMEDAY.
For new-comers, Primeday is Defined as that EIGGHTDAY on spiritedestination.:):):):););););)

So Today's Post will see NO MONDAY’S BLUES, Desi asssures you.

We have enough of September 11 and SEVEN7 recollections to last us one ‘hole year.

There may be some Indecentstuff here, that's not nrmal of Desi, so blame it on too much Teh-Si last nite, or Balame it on the Seremabn Maze!!

Starting this week, spiritedestination will implement an EIGHT-DAY WEEK.
We obseve the conventional Monday, Tuesday, Wednurseday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sundae; but on OUR I-LAND the Good Lord has bless’d us with ONE MORE DAY, yeah, the Beatles’ creatively styled EIGHT DAYS A WEEK, I luv u…, remember?

So what’s in a name?

Desiderata thinks it’s a flaming lot! Some may say it’s li’l, yes, of no importance, or not much consequence. Let’s see, a legion of the second category among the Chianmen (here I include Myself, hence it is not used in any derogatrory manner, why should I want to de-mean myself, unless I have gone bonkers .. or isit bangers?)

From here onwards, if you’re over the Age of Non-Dissent, please stop reading, because Desi has some salty language flowing:

WHY DO YOU THINK SOME FOLKS LAND UP BEING CALLED?

• Teow Ah Kow …(close to F… that which goes moo, moo:)
• Seet Ah Choo …(close to Eat that which goes oink, oink:)
• Yeap Ham Sap … (close to Salt the itchy hands that roam down the lad’s thigh:)
* Lan Chow Kar...(close to a swear word, Dirty Smelly Bastard!)
• Chin Lan Keow … (here get some Hakka lang to translate for you, I plead IgnorantMooMoo on this one), but the narrative that follows may give some hint.

"*Malaysia’s news agency BERNAMA was quite a leader among ASEAN bros&sis. So when Vietname joined the august organization called the Association of South-East Asian Nations, it sought (not seeked, I.Cowws!) then already advanced Malaysia’s help to set up its own news org.

Everything was smooth and sailing – “Swimmingly Well” as Desi would describe it – so the Wise Men gathered at the boardroom to decide on a NAME for the proud infant, the Vietnamese news agency.

Like I.Cowws working their brains OT yesterday at Desi's Place, tho I felt a wee bit short=changed after the continuous stream of HariDas’ tehtarik till YAN came up with that stunner -- whoops, the LUXURY OF BLOGGONG DIGRESSION! – the two ASEAN teams downed a lot of tehtarik and mao-the, some sort of brain-raising tea in Vietnam, I ‘ear!.

Finally, the chef-de-mission of the Ho®sts smartly said, waking up from their reverie, or stupour:

“We will combine the Best of both worlds.
We will use the commonest – not communist, in case some of you are hard of hearing --like mixing Crime for prime, Hood for good, and Greed for Gr8…--names from our two countries.

"The name that comes to mind from Vietnam is DIEU ...as a lot of our famous families are proud of THAT SIR-NAME.”He cited a few political names. but Desi has censored them, out of modesty, not their part, many already are deceased, on Desi's part, for I'm kicking&akive! The Vietnam head sat down on his butt, feeling so proud of having over-done himself.

The humble Malaysian counterpart rose slowly, graciously, bowed several times, buying T-I-M-E, not the mabagzine, you IC…., the minutes, seconds …as he wracked/wrecked his mostly unworked brain. Ah, the light bulb lit up JIT! (Howsy, tell my mates here wat’s JIT, nits indeed.)

“We are damn bloody proud of our national news agency …BERNAMA. ‘Ber’ means possession’, ‘NAMA’, you kNOw-lah, means ‘NAME’.”

So now you know why we have an internationally renowned agency called: Dieu-nama…
Lols, Desi is blushing now, turning pinkish, red Indian red, finally LOBSTER RED!

Basing on my weak memory recall, somefullish1 said:

Woman, thy name is Vanity!


Moral of the story so far:

Parents ... besides remembering on what Dau your Child is born, please SELECT a GOoD NAME for the Child to have a GOoD satrt in this Clallengin Life, that he may aspire to fulfill the inherent character of his/her name; maybe, perhaps, MYAhaps, that child could gow into the Prime Minister post-2020? then he/she can appoint Desi as Menteri Bernama, mayhaps?

TomGf who are mail OR even fe=mail, you may not agree with the earlier citation. Ne'er mind, quoting VOLTAIRE yet again:

"I may disgaree with what you say, but I will defend, to the death, your right to say it."

That's what democratic discourse or intercourse is all about. Now -- Sab, Sweets, kyels -- you can FLAME ME on the frontpage! If they are flammingly Gooder, I'll promote from Comments to Frontpage, as I do today with Xchanges with C S'X winner, Yan, that Catsville woman.

Me.I think I L'VE up to my name. I'm Kind and a Humble bee.
Born. Many readers say: on Thursday -- has far to go.
GO WHERE: spiritedestination, where else in deed!:)

The month of September,
Readers are supposed to Remember...

7:28 AM (msian time 9.28PM)


desiderata said...

ALL CHALLENGEES!!!!!!!!

Eight Xcalmation marks, strewn throughout;
Yes, it points to Eight Days a Week>Beatles link

Others may hitch a ride to Xplain2!
I'm bringing forawrd the DEADLINE to 11PM, so it's 30minutes to go, cos we more or less have a WINNER, but she's steall trying to catch a RAT in Catsville; can fellow CHALLENGEES help her to act like KUCHING gals&boys, catch that Fat RAT, or is it a soaring&lifting one, or mis-pronounced, a messy&deadly one?


L'VE!

10.33PM, just 27mins to go!

""CLUES:

(1) Somewhere buried in that post “FRIDAY'S CHILD IS LOVING AND GIVING...” are a sprinkle of clues.

(2) This ditty also provides some leads:

The Beatles could be a mover, I suppose
Pak Lah could be a Friday’s Child, like Primrose
If it’s not Monday, Tuesday, Wednurseday
Thursday, Friday or Saturday
It can Never be a Sundae
So Pak Lah, like Desi, could be born
That Special Day
Appropriate for a PM
It's a .....day!
So think outside the box
Desi’s riddle is born of a fox.

(3) That NAME Desi’s decided is a soaring one, lifting Malaysians’ spirit towards Towering status, come what may;
But slightly mis-pronounced, can be disastrous, dangerous even, for then anarchy and violence could rule the day.""


RESULTS & EDESI’S RATIONALE!

At 11.01PM, Sunday; deadline forwarded, suffers SleepDeprivation!

(A) Yes, we have a WINNER – YAN, from Catsville – with Primeday!
(B) The misPronounced is Crimeday!!

(1)YAN was also the First Valiant Challengee, also got on track with Baby Step of linking BEATLES with their song “EIGHT DAYS A WEEK”.
This means an unconventional day, a creative day, a day BORN of the Imagination … and the Beatles also had a song called Imagine…remember that 1?
Further, "mover" often suggests "Prime" mover, yes? No?

YAN’s answer fulfilled most of the Clues&Hints Desiderata provided, the portions reproduced at the top.

Appropriate for a PM – PM is PRIME Minister, remember2?

(3) With reference to

soaring&lifting, this ACCORDS with Prime … which means to lift up, take to greater heights .. to Towering perhaps.

If slightly mis-pronounced, PRIME can sound like CRIME, which would be indeed be disastrous, danegrous, YES3?


So it’s Primeday, which wins for YAN that copy of Sherlock Holmes stotries by Arthur Conan Doyle(my fav detective), HELPS I.COWWS to thonk CRITICALLY and LOGICALLY, desiderata.faculyies to solve riddles and crimes!

8:01 AM


desiderata said...

TWO fallback answers, which did not have to be used as a basis to decide the winner -- are:

(2) Greatday OR Gr8day
Mispronounced: Greeday! Greedday!!

(3) GOoDay OR Gooday
Mispronounced: Hooday!

GOoDNite, it's exactly 11.07pm;
Desi's heading, in Sweets words, for Zzzzzland, not NewZ....!

8:07 AM

I.Cows and Over-aged Dissenters are ALLOWED, encouraged to be ALOUD, to flame the judge for his disgraceful decisions,and for mGf IMRAN who is still pondering over the CLUES, thinking the deadline is just another 50minutes away; Slly mate, FLAME DESI!

1:46 PM

myEsteemedReaders: See(4) how YAN PLAYED SHERLOCK HOLMES, a desrving winner in deed!

Yan said...

Hi, Desi, thanks for picking me as the winner.

I would have given up - but the clue "that" mover in the last minute gave me the "prime" mover.

So, prime minister
primrose, the winner

came to the mind.

Then, I went to sleep.. right after sending in the answer. Did not know have to give rational leh..

Thnaks for allowing my mind to work yesterday.

Yan

(First Primeday Morning o'lady!)

CONGRATS 8X to YAN!

Desi in the rush to BRING THE CURTAINS DOWN last nite -- he was truly weary and tired (not of Mito-C's type of tried of being tired=ness!) -- that He did not extend his CONGRATULATIONS to the S'X-y Winner from Catsville.
