you can call me erni


People need to realise or be educated, that not all names, are constructed like the westerner's names.

BS : Your name?

me : Erni M Kasim

BS : Ms Kasim, blah blah blah

me : You can call me Erni. Kasim is my father.

Everytime they call me by my father's name, I'll correct them insyaAllah.

hah! i experienced that too, many many times tau ..

when i joined IBM 2 mths back, when my phone was ready for collection, helpdesk emailed me:

"Abdul Aziz,
Your phone is ready for collection. Kindly collect it at IT Helpdesk at Level 5."

I emailed them politely to correct them too. Hahah, tapi kadang2 cute la jugak wen come to think abt it though they're wrong. hahah

i don't enjoy being called Kasim. It's so.... not feminine. :D
