Why MSKw ?

To those who are not too familiar , I was at one time, known as Merino .

Yes, that woolly creature from Down Under. Actually, the Merino sheep originated from Spain. As to how, I was associated with the Sheep, the story began when I was in Primary 5, back in De La Salle Primary.
One day, I rolled down the slope and fractured my left arm. When the cast was eventually removed after more than 2 months, lo and behold, it was covered with long hair ! We were then learning about Australia in our Geography class. So that nickname was born.

"Steven" was a desperate self-given western name I had to come upwith in minutes when my superior at work demanded that I have one, as the MNC I had just joined had many Ang-Mohs who would have problem with " Khuen Way". The alternatives ? Valentino : Rudolf:.... Why Steven ? Was and is a fan of Cat Stevens who incidentally, is now known as Yusof Islam.

Then again why "MSKw" ? Remember that infamous Mas Selamat Kastari incident ? Now you know........
