I realized that I have a lot of names… It was tough to my wife, because different group of people which I knew in different stage of my life calls me differenly… My family used to call me 啊辉, or Ah Fui (Hakka), or Ah Fai (Cantonese)… My primary school friends call me 振辉… Secondary school friends call me JenHuei… In university, most friends call me Ah Fai because of my Hometown of Ipoh, which is famous with Cantonese speaking… But some uni friends who do not speak Cantonese normally will call me 振辉… These few names, have been all listened and responded by me naturally for more than 20 years…

Year 2005, I graduated from university and joined ST Microelectronics in Muar as Product Engineer. I remember a girl, Jasmine gives me a Christian name, “Wayne”. I never used it until I joined Hypertronics in Aug 2005… An admin girl, Esther (not Esther Joan… ) suggested me to get a Christian name for easy calling. Actually I don’t really wanted to be called other name than my name, but since I was being asked, I answered.. “Wayne”. I thought it will be just a name to be used in Hypertronics, which is supposed to be called by my colleague, those who I interact just because of work related issue… But I was wrong…..

First… There was a guy who stays in Bedok (I stays in Bedok too for the first few weeks). Everyday I met him in interchange waiting for the bus 87. I knew he is my colleague, but because I am new and nobody introduce him to me, he was rather a stranger than a colleague to me. He always listen to his iPod and sit at the last row in the bus, and sleep all the way when onboard the bus until alighting… sometimes even overslept and have to alight at the next bus stop… a stupid funny guy. Now he is one of my best buddy, I never know this could be happened. He calls me Wayne because we knew each other in Hypertronics. Secondly, my old big… which became extremely close to me after two super tough business trips in Philippines. Thirdly, the whole gang of close friends in Hypertronics calls me Wayne too… Again, because we knew each other in Hypertronics…

Now I have left Hypertronics, a place where I have worked for 4 years. But the name, “Wayne” still following me… “Wayne” is supposed to be called in Hypertronics, by my colleague ONLY! Initially I drawn a line between friends and colleagues, I won’t feel warm if they call me “Wayne”, instead its more like a colleague is calling me. But it turned out not to be like that, I never expect I can be so close to the colleagues in Hypertronics. If I know this could be happened, I won’t want them to call me “Wayne”…

Few days ago, I get to know a guy in my first class of CREST course, his name is Charles Chia. He is a head hunter. I introduce myself as JenHuei… I gave up my nick “Wayne” although I know that it could be much better in this industry if I keep this nick. Sometimes I hesitated… But in the end I still insisted not to use it… Today, during the break in CREST course lesson #3, I was queueing for a cup of water in vending machine, suddenly someone calls me, “JenHuei!”.. he is Charles, the only guy I knew in CREST course. He offered me to buy a cup of coffee for me, but I just wanted a cup of plain water so I rejected. However, I have a warm feeling like a close friend is calling me although I just know him few days ago.

With this incident, I am 100% sure that I won’t want any of my new friends to call me “Wayne” anymore. I don’t want to reject any possibility that everyone can become very close to me in the future. I accept everyone to be a very good friend to me in the future. He might be my client, might be someone I just meet in Shopping mall when he is promoting his product, might be someone I meet in photography forum, or even might be someone I meet in bus stop everyday when I am going to office… I want them to know me as “JenHuei”, my real name…

Good Bye, “Wayne”…
