My mother can't write her name. My DAD writes it for her.-- oh, ow. :((

you know, it's not even the wikipedia that gets me these days? it's freaking FACEBOOK, and all the Asian friends- hell, even some non-Asian ones- who post on each other's walls in different languages that i can't read. and okay, i can recognize stuff like "happy birthday," but when even a white boy pwns me in terms of using my own language... yeah. (granted, he spent some of his childhood in HK, but still.)

yu as in jade; han as in "nei han..." unfortunately for me, my mom has a rather large literary streak, so none of the people i've given my Chinese name to actually recognize the second character from this context. *headdesk*
