Ziteng? Matthew?
Many people ask me why do they still call me Ziteng since i have a christian name, matthew? well, heres why..
when i was born, my dad somehow or rather forgotten to include Matthew in my birth cert, so it was just Lim Ziteng.. but i guess since all my sisters have christian names so my mum wanted me to have one too.
so when i was in pri 3, my mum brought me to the lawyer, who's shang jun's father, to add the name Matthew.. and some adjustment needed to be done.. like in pri school, when my form teacher started calling me matthew.. the whole class (being pri 3s will go)," who is matthew? new student in class ah, how come i don't see him?" OR sometimes when the teacher calls Matthew.. i won't even respond! so it took some time to get used to it.
but since people in church know me as Ziteng since i was young, i'm pretty much happy they are still calling me Ziteng till now except for one or 2 who enjoy calling me matthew. zzzzz. and also my family calls me Ziteng too, THANK GOD!
so its left with school.. since the first group of people who called me Matthew were from school.. i just decided that ONLY people in the school i am attending will call me Matthew, the rest of them shall call me by my chinese name cos thats the way i like it!
which brings us back to today.. as you can see, if you are my family member, or something in church or CF, you'll know me as Ziteng. but if you're in Barker or NYP.. you'll know me as Matthew.
okay so with that said, no one needs to ask anymore k.. and you SHALL call me Ziteng if you are from church or family or CF or Matthew if you're from ACS or NYP.
