After 27 years, 9 months, I finally know the meaning to my name [.... kind of]

Well, it's been over two years since I've last updated this blog, so I might as well start with something worthwhile and small: the "meaning" to my Chinese name: 汪寧(宁)智, where 宁 is the simplified form of 寧 (traditional script).

So, to break it down character by character:
汪 (surname); expanse of water; ooze
寧 peaceful; rather; Ningxia (abbrev.) (Ningxia is probably a city in China)
智 wisdom; knowledge

As we would pronounce it in pinyin: wāng níng zhì.

An odd name of sorts to put together, and I couldn't find any of these characters in electronic form until now.

Unfortunately, none of these characters seem to fit who I really am (or better put, I do not express the ideal forms of these characters), especially since I've been put under the pressure cooker/stress test of medical school.

Anyway, for now, hooray for updates! Maybe I'll put up a post to give an update as to what the hell has been going on with my life for the last two years, plus, maybe some time in the future. Right.
