If u r reading dis, Avantblog WORKS! Hv 2 use some shorthand s it's not dat intuitive 2 write using Graffiti.

So, regd d title of this blog, it's derived fr my early teens. My Chinese name is Tze Ming. When I was 14, some of my lazier friends decided that 'Tze Ming' was 2 troublesome 2 pronouce, so they called me Zeem, which sorta is the first 1.5 syllables of my name.

That nickname din last long, but out of it came my official online pseudonym - Zemien. So now you know.

And true to my habit, I used full spellings instead of abbreviations (as I have promised). Years of essay writing habits are too ingrained in me to change. Darn.
