I'm now FAYSE!!

I'm now FAYSE!!

Thanks to Brenda, who "accidentally" spelled my name wrongly in the birthday wish card we dedicated to Victor on his past birthday! "FAYSE" is her creation! It was at McD Bangsar, i remember...hmmm...never mind, cut the crap!

FAYSE = FAYES...suppose to be pronounced the same way. I'm certain! Cause I've checked the actual pronunciation using the speech application I found on my computer! U should hv it too. I think it's located in the Control Panel>Speech (just to share)

Somehow, many (most of the people) pronounce it wrongly...previously it was FAYES. So from the type face, people start creating and apply their own pronunciation over the words. Some read [fe-yes], some [fa-yes],...worst version I've heard comes from McD delivery service operator...

"Hello McDonald's Delivery Service, I'm XXX. How may I assist u?"
"Hi, my number is 012-345xxxx!"
"Hold on please!...Mmmmm, is this Mr. [FA-IS]!"
"Ahhh...Yes!"

I hate the way it sounds. But I'm too lazy to explain already...

Gosh, now my name sounds like a Malay one. Faiz? Fayiz?
Whatever it is, I don't like it. I'm not a racist! But I just don't like it!

Again, thanx to Brenda, I found a solution to this problem, this ever lasting headache of mine. Even my dad laughs at my name at times.

Now I think it is better spelled FAYSE then FAYES too. I started using this name since I was in university. For a fresh start after a long depression, i thought! I neglected a fact that FAYE WONG has a similar spelling in her name too. I just wanna make it special, at least something sounds like my chinese name naturally. But literally I became a follower! And not long after I decided to use the name FAYES, there born a chinese pop rock band in Taiwan named F.I.R where the lead singer's name is also FAYE...hai...I was the 2nd, but since I wasn't famous, I became a follower again when I made my name in ATQ2006. The world knows FAYE from F.I.R before me. So, I became copycat again!

Coincidentally, they were the judges for the event! Is this fated? But i like her...FAYE is a nice person! We sang on stage together during the finale, gosh! What a wonderful experience!?

Ok, again, I got misled! Cut the crap! Go back to the topic!

Yes, i wasn't kidding. I decided to change my english prefered name to FAYSE from today onwards. Who ever see this blog post, please update your phone book entry!

Thanks a zillion!
