    oy vey

    I got my chinese name first...but then when my parents gave me an english name, they somehow messed up and i now have a name that's unique, but that i got made fun of for a lot in elementary school. And still do, for those who are still mentally stuck in 3rd grade.

    Chinese name first, like what Brujah28 is saying, it's more easy for the gwai lo's. They always say my chinese name wrong...it's really annoying...
