      Hi all,


      Was 'inspired' to start this thread due to some of the really cute/funny nicknames/avatars/icon here. Some are, I guess, self-explanatory like ummmm KIASIMOM πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜‰, or vain_pot, the latest Newbie πŸ˜„ πŸ˜„ (I could be wrong though), but then again, the nickname could be a facade? Or maybe it could be just a nickname that you picked at random. Or it could be the initials of your names ....

      Mine was inspired by the autumn season that I experienced when I was overseas for a while. Bronze is, well the colour that I associate with this season. My avatar/icon is a leaf floating in a pool of water. As you can see from the colour of the leaf, its autumn season. :lol:

      Care to share???? :celebrate:
      Wow, autumnbronze, excellent topic! I was thinking a few days beofre you made this topic to start this very topic! Have you been stalking me? 😐 πŸ˜„

        last edited by

        I tried to nick myself after my dog, who died donkey years ago. Her name was wentor, a cross-terrier.


        So I kinda tried different configurations trying to sound good, as well as add in as many letters of β€˜w-e-n-t-o-r’ as i can, winth was kinda borned.

        Then someone was asking me if it’s bec of my nature, that’s why I call myself winth, cos it spells WIN-th like a position, i.e. 3rd, 4th, 5th, WINth.

        It kinda made sense, so I’m winth.

          2.I am hopeless in cyberstalking AND most importantly,

          3.I should maintain my weight 😒 😒

              Hmmm, have been wondering whether to share my reason since my colleagues are suspecting my identity. Anyone is welcome to know who I am except them, as what I type here on the forum is not to be associated with the company in any way. Confused? Yah, it's very late now, I'm really tired and hubby's nagging me to death. Anyone else have this dilemma abt having to keep their forum id secret from colleagues?


              Well, back to why mathsparks? Since sec days, I've developed a strong passion for A Maths, :love: put it aside for donkey years; when my girl was in sec school, i picked it up again and am currently learning H2 Maths along with her. Keeps the mind sharp on top of my regular sudoko workouts.

              As for the avatar. It's a pie.3.142????

                If I am you, I won't want my colleagues to identify me too. Anyway whatever is written here is not of their concerns πŸ™‚

                  So, I just wanted to ask, which one is more accurate, babelfish, or babylon. Quite confused right now. :?: :? TIA. πŸ˜„

                  Hmm...sorry, can't help you here cos I don't trust online dicts that much when it comes to translating foreign words, especially when you try to translate anything longer than a phrase. I tend to break up the phrases/sentences and go by prior knowledge, friends' help and instinct when using online dicts.

                  Anyway, in percussion, when the score is labelled for \"schellen\" it generally refers to the instrument that looks like a stick covered with bells on all sides. The bells in this case are the kind you would find on keychains, pet collars, etc, not the handbells. The sound produced is kinda like sleigh bells. Er, something like this:

                      schellen is German for bells. I used to play percussion in uni CCA so it kinda stuck since most of the time, it's not taken. My avatar....need to explain meh? πŸ˜‰

                      Hi,

                      Your nick is one of the many that I wondered about, cuz when you say it out loud, it has a nice 'ring' to it πŸ˜„

                      Thx for sharing πŸ˜„
