attended CS106: Speech & Presentation tutorial today.
& to see our public speaking skills, we're to talk about our name.

How did you get your name?
What does your name means?
Do you like your name?
& any other thing you can think of associating with your name.

Koo Mei Yan Joanna
how did i get my name?
honestly, i duno..but i know my christian name - Joanna, was chosen by my aunt instead of by my parents..my chinese name..i duno also..but me n my sisters all have "mei" as the second word of our name..

What does my name means?
Joanna in hebrew means "God is gracious"
Mei (美) means beautiful
Yan (燕) means ??? hee..i also duno..

Do i like it?
Well..i like Joanna cos it speaks of God's grace for me..& everything is bcos of Him & His finished work on the cross..
my surname is Koo (符)..so i am a happy & blessed girl cos 我是幸福(姓符)的..ok..if you're not chinese..dun bother to find out..if you understand..it's lame la..but true right? haha..
my chinese name is Mei Yan (美燕) which can means beautiful (美艳)..but i dun think i am..haha..& i used to have this childish thot that if i ever become a star..my name will be so traditional aka 老土 aka obiang..how to be famous? haahaa..ridiculous me!!!

anyway..funny things abt my name..
in Cedar, there's me & joanna lee in bball & then sec 2,3 & 4 we're in the same class..
then..during sec 3, there was the J.Lo craze..so we are called j.koo & j.lee by the class..up till now they also call us that..& i dun think that will change..& during O levels preparations, me & j.lee studied together after lessons in sch..so when ppl say bye to us, it'll be "Bye, Joanna...s" haha..must add "s" behind to indicate they acknowledge both of us..so funny...
in CS, there was this tutor last sem - kk (102) who keep mixing my name up with this other girl in the class called joanne..e thing is..he remembers both of us..just that he'll call joanne joanna & call me joanne..weird teacher...

well..i can't think of anything else abt my name that's worth mentioning..so if you hv..can tell me..hee....
