My Surname

Haha! Wondering why I'm posting a blog on my Surname. Not sure anyone notice something special on my surname 'Chng'. Last yr during my Melbourne trip, when I was having deserts at a restaurant. There was this waiter who noticed my surname when I use my credit card to make payment. He asked.....

Waiter: How do you pronounce your surname?
Me: Hmmm....
(So I pronounce my surname to him and asked why do you ask)
Waiter: Because there's no vowel in it

It's was this moment which strike me that yes my surname do not have a vowel in it.

From then onwards, I have people getting my surname spell as Chang, Chung etc and more & more people are asking me or telling me that my surname do not have a single vowel in it.
