My name
Had a chat with my colleagues the other day. They’ve been wondering how should they pronounce my name; ‘Y’ee or ee (with or without the ‘Y’)…to be honest, i can’t tell the difference between those 2, and i don’t freaking care!!
Well, it is funny enough for me to use Yee as my ‘work name’ when all my frens and families know me as Essue or Yee Siew for the past 24 yrs of my life. I use Yee as my work name simply because it’s easier for AngMo to remember and pronounce since they normally omit the middle name when they address ppl.
I started telling my colleagues that actually my full name is Yee Siew or Essue and most of my close ones will call me that name instead of Yee. They started practising to pronounce it but after some 10 minutes, gave up and told me that Yee sounds better…what the?! Sigh…at least now they know not to hang up the phone when someone calls my department and asks for Essue or Yee Siew (or will they??)…
