Since beginning the programme, I've been telling people who ask my name:
If it helps, just remember lighting (pointing at the lights).
Well.. Just cause Asian names can be confusing and difficult for them to remember.
And even when I came back, I've been introducing myself the same way.
I mean... It's convenient. And easy. I just add a second sentence:
Just without the 'g' at the end.
And I don't mind if people mispronounce my name. And even when I spell out my name, people will still struggle. And they are my fellow people.
Is it 'Thin' or 'Tin' or 'Ting' or 'Teng'?
And I stopped bothering about the pronunciation of my name since long long time ago. I mean, there's no point.
But anyways, I think 'lighting' suits just fine. After all, my Cantonese name sounds pretty similar. Not exactly, but close.
=D
