me famous??unlikely…….
my name is ng khai lip, in case you don’t know…
.i juz wonder sometimes IF one day i discover a new theory and it would be named after me….won’t it sound funny??? like "khai lip’s principle", or "law of Khailip"….if so, í’ll be the first one to roll on the floor laughing…..
i juz can’t imagine my name being shown in public like newspaper, tv or sth like that…..to me it juz don’t fit….i can’t ever imagine my name appearing on the headline ,eg: "KHAI LIP HAS DONE IT AGAIN"….hahaha….that would never happen….
dunno why, i feel that my name sounds wierd.not that i don’t like it.in fact i love it very much. although my name is often mistaken for a girl’s name. translated to chinese, it simply means, "victory" and "independent",respectively…..
back to the point… someday if i found a new species….would it be named "canis khailipus", "paramiseum khailipum", or "certhidea khailipea"??? i dun think so….because the following generation studying this new species will be laughing to death and i would be blamed for the disgrace of the entire species….
if i discover a new reaction in chemistry someday…..would it be named "khai’s equilibrium", "lip’s constant", "khailip’s cycle", "ng’s chain of XXX"…..??? it really don’t fit, huh??
one day, if i open a company, i won’t name it "KHAI LIP’s SDN BHD"…..because i think it would be fated to fall….
that makes me wonder….after 5 years, when i graduate…what would my name be?? would people call me "dr. ng"?? that sounds too common….dr. khai??, or dr lip???…..or dr khailip?? but whenever i hear that name….i’ll feel geli….hehehe….sigh….sakit kepala…
maybe i should get an english name….
any suggestion??
