Lunch time for Nara

I'm at moment writng my next blog while eating my mum fried rice with some chop green peppers. I've also just brought in oo long chai, which is really nice me and gary (work mate) drink it. Others look at me and say what the hell is that, someone said does it get you hyper. I'm thinking its only herbal green tea or tea without milk, this is definately culture shock, but i keep drinking until they all convert. While making my lunch was speaking to a girl who was speaking about immigration to canada, which was really interesting cos aaron alway talks about it, so now i know more info for him. Well had nice weekend, had lunch with my mummy (yam chai)(eating dim sum) I paid cos i got paid from work. After i visited riyad to make him get a dvd. Then after bump into aaron, then tien and suki, then met deepak and also phil came out. Other's came along alicia, evita, susan and amy. Had drinks in sport bar and then in evening had korean food in Nara. Food was really nice, but quite spicy. While at restuarant i notice the menu having my name on the menu next door to word nara, after asking the staff i found out kwok mean nara in korean. The latvia girls also told me that nara means the mermaid. So just to add onto the my previous blog, you can also called me nara from now on, if you feeling korean.

Say my name / my name is ?

I haven't blog for ages, and have so much more to update. Been so glad to back to in london. Those M1 nightmares have been gone and dusted. Well this a blog i was thinking from work, it kind of came up from one work mate asking me what my name means and also phil asking me whats my name on my passport. Back to my work mates, i explain to them my full name is Kwok Hung and surname Lau. If you didn't know that like vivian then deserve kick :) . Well i describe Kwok it means country, and those being chinese know if you add my name to beauty. As in beauty kwok, it means america, central kwok its means china and hero kwok it means England, also aaron kwok is a movie star in hong kong also aaron is a good friend of mine. And hung is for courage, also famous for wong fei hung (the same hung). After that they understood my name. My name was given by my grandad and aunty in hong kong. And another fact is i seen i person on chinese tv who is called lau kwok hung too, and my doctor is called lee kwok hung aka patrick lee or Dr lee. Well apart from my usual name, i'm know to many people with different names. My mum calls me saddam hung, saddam from 2 words sad dom which means you got guts and arrogant. Not sure why. Most my family call me kwoky from my aunty pam. More sounding like Gokky ahh (ahh cos we chinese). My sister calls me stinky i call her smelly (she really smell haha). I'm called jarrer by deepak and i also call him the same name. Lingu bow or lingu is what lingu adam calls me, you dont want to know what lingu is, but its hakka so not many would know. My cousin Soso calls me friendy, which i started when i was 7 and kept on calling her friendy. Some people call me hung, just using my middle name cos it sound easier. Some people use both kwok hung. A guy at work email me calling me lau, and his name was brian, so when i reply and i called him brain. Nicky, aaron and some others call me kwokster. The man of steel from ade. Tien calls me kwok power, apparently kwok power is like scrappy power which annoys me slightly (where's the power). Riyad calls me kwoky-san making me sound cute. And recently amy calls me kwok kwok, but she makes it sound like gok gok (Cute init NOT). Its really strange what names people call you, but i can tell you something. If you call me with right name i'll give you a good respond, if you call me with a wrong name i respond with the destiny child song Say my name say my name song, or eminem track my name is kwok.
