QUOTE(jcmf @ Aug 1 2010, 06:02 AM) As a chinese myself, i have a real english name based on my nric. any english names are actually really easier to rmb. heck, even malays like to use nicknames. so what difference does it makes for chinese having english name? or malay or indian in this matter? lol hilarious. however i do hate people who choose stupid/bad name ie Kinky, petpet(this is used by a malay..), pus, strawberry, apple, rainbow, etc. Please please PLEASE choose a decent name...  Petpet |
