I'm sorry, I don't remember! 😥

How I wish I can trace it back 43years ago. But even my school no longer exist! 😭

Writing this post is the only way I could pay tribute to her! 🙏😊

I love how originality comes from you even before you were born in name form. I like how you present things so endlessly but this present ( I say present because what else would it be to a reader to read an unusual yet direct approach to saying I have my name but not the way others have gotten it... this is a really good read...

Hey Janet, this is such an interesting post! Especially when you said your father was told he would have 3 boys and you showed up as a gift! It’s so fascinating how things tend to fall in place for us. The origin or your name is way more interesting than mine lol. Thank so you so much for posting this! Your newsletter is awesome by the way! Just subscribed! :)

Janet Goh (Guest of honour). Now I get it! This new name is genius!!

(P.S. I get what you mean. I'm tomboyish Irl, so I wish my name was more like "Harshin" or a genderless name or something like that. Haha)
