Being born a Wong I was legally Choo-incorporated on 02.02.02. I could still remember it was not easy to accept the fact that I'll be called a Mrs Choo. Even till now, I may just walk pass and totally ignore anyone who calls out to me "Mrs. Choo" or even worst when they go "Chow Thai" (Mrs Choo in Cantonese).
BUT I am slowly recognizing it coz these days some of Cayden's school teachers or other parents do call me Mrs. Choo.
At work I have more or less established myself using my maiden name so I don't think I'll be changing it. Even on Facebook, Twitter and email addresses, they all bear my maiden name which I don't think I'll change.
Well, to sum it all up I AM proud and thankful to be my husband's wife but I AM equally proud of my own Surname because it is a very important thing in Chinese culture.
