my name...

Today at my grannie's house, one of my uncles came over and he has a new baby! Cannot believe that i haven't seen him for so long, suddenly got a new baby in the family. She is so cute, and her name is Renee. It's pronounced as "re-ney". I think it's a sweet name and rather uncommon... so unlike my name, so many people also got the same name as me, or should i say, same name and sirname as well. i once had a neighbour who is called yvonne tan as well.
 
Talking about my name, there are 2 english versions of my chinese name. my chinese name is actually huai(2) lin(2). And unfortunately, the word huai cannot be found in the dictionary at all. papergoat's (daryl) version of it was 'forest why orange' (chen is orange, huai sounds like why, and lin is forest). damn creative hor daryl =P... and liang qiao's version of it is 'river jade'. the word huai is actually a name of a chinese river in china (cheem?). and lin means jade. ;P nice rite? hehehe. Maybe u pple can start creating ur own english version of ur chinese names! If cannot think of any then can find daryl to help liao. haha.
