The Story Of Mr. Alor

There is this one guy.

He is born in Malaysia and of course he is a Malaysian. And as usual, he has a typical Malaysian kind of name-- Alor.

Mr. Alor dunno why he is named like that. He just know that since he was born, everyone called him Alor. He did not like this name. Unfortunately he had no choice but to stick with it.

As Mr. Alor became older, the more he disliked his name. Everytime he went on holiday tours to other countries using "company's money", he meets with different people from different countries. The more he went outstation, the more he disliked his name.

Finally, after the 15th "holiday tour" and spending nearly RM1.5 mil, he had enough and decided that it's time to change his name.

Now, the question is, change to what name?

Mr. Alor cracked his head for days and nights. He even had a committee to help to get him a new name. It cannot be James, George, Ronaldo, Obama and stuffs like that because he had met enough of them. He wanted something special. A name that will make him feel superior over the others. A name that will make him proud of himself.

Suddenly, a movie posters caught his attention. It's "Superman Returns". It enlightened him.

Therefore, his new name would be named after VENUS a.k.a KEJORA.

What's more special and superior than having a "non-earth name"? Mr. Kejora and his committee members were very excited for this new name thingy and can't wait to share with the whole world about this.

The outcome is really unpleasant. At least for Mr. Kejora.

Everyone around him were against his decision of changing names. His boss dun like it, his friends dun appreciate it, his neighbours dun understand it, even strangers were criticising it.

He forgot that eventhough he thinks that he comes from other planet, he is still living on earth. He is still in Malaysia which has its own culture.

After facing much pressure, especially coming from his boss, Mr. Kejora had no choice but to give in and used back the name that he disliked--Alor.

In Mr. Alor's mind, he was still wondering why changing his name to Kejora was so difficult.

His final conclusion: Most probably the people in Malaysia and on Earth were just jealous about the fact that he is a superman who comes from Venus.
