I am not Wong Kok, OK?

It's funny how the English arrange their names and how much they differ from ours. For last name, it means our surname or family name. For first name, it means our given name. We, Chinese, take great pride in our family name and would not bring disgrace to our family name. Maybe that explains the more individualistic whites while the Chinese are more easily intimidated.

Anyway, whenever they see my name, they would call me Wong Kok, whom I am not!

OK OK, I like HK and I don't mind being called MK仔! But you are calling me name, not nickname, so please be precise. We took effort in learning your way of name arrangement, so please show the same respect to us as well. OK?

Oh, in case you do not know, MK仔 is 旺角仔!
