a quick check on facebook verified the above statement.
there's only one person in the world with the my first name + last name (surname) haha :)
i suppose that makes it very easy for people to search for my profile online, that's possibly the only bad thing about being the only such person in the world - no anonymity! like how googling 'utada hikaru' will invariably show anything about the japanese star.
listen to her new album! it's no. 1 on the daily oricon charts lol.
the up-side: long lost friends will find it too easy to find me! if they can recall my surname, though - i'm sure almost anyone can.
is having a unique name really that good? well, to me, the fb search i did just gave me some sort of ego boost (warped!)
but i find my name a little too long! my english name's a bit antiquated; my surname doesn't register on some people's minds, and they call me 'mr. au' instead. but it's quite nice to be referred to as 'au yong', like how people call each other by surname. better than one-syllable surnames!
but add a 'mister' to it and it sounds too long! oh well, i have to get used to it.
mrs koh said that 'au yong' has a nice, fierce ring to it, good to play the role of a strict teacher HAHA. i think, it's cause it sounds like a japanese surname to some! maybe it invokes images of tough japanese soldiers in khaki-coloured uniforms during world war 2.
