Why does my best friend calls me NAM? Well, that name was from the movie Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Thai Movie), where a high school girl got a crush on a popular guy in the school. We saw that film like 5 months ago and it was really catchy, because of the setting and the characters, like it happened to me years ago. I use that name when I go to Starbucks and when the Barista asks my name, I say Nam just for fun though. XD
