When I was studying in SSP, my science teacher in Form 1, Pn. Aminah, called me cheeky and smart alec because I used to give stupid/funny answers to her questions. I didn't know what it meant in the beginning. She asked me to look it up and I did. So that's why I kept that name. Okay, maybe I don't agree with the whole definition of the words :-)
