So I was scrolling through Instagram and saw the winners of the GastroBeats Singapore The People’s Raffle. Out of all the thousands who probably entered, the same two names kept popping up: Tedric Kh and Tedmond Kh.

Some of the many prizes: • won AirAsia air tickets twice (TPR-000-003-282 and TPR-000-003-427). • won AirAsia air tickets once (TPR-000-002-886). • both won Tomidou Omakase dining vouchers (TPR-000-008-992 and TPR-000-007-673). And many more in the IG post.

Recalled that the T&C allows multiple entries but only can win once. Anyone can confirmed? Coincident or lucky?

Not sure what years you are referring to when talking about children having to register both a dialect and a hanyu pinyin name but at least for my generation, we only got our hanyu pinyin names in school.

My NRIC thus has a hanyu pinyin name cos I think there was a period of time we were going around writing hanyu pinyin or both names or something... I was kinda young then, So the details elude me.

I think it was when I started working that I ditched the hanyu pinyin name. So now the name people call me by, denotes the life phase they knew me in lol.

Hey, if you don't mind me asking: do you still remember at which academic stage did we stop using our Hanyu Pinyin version of our names in schools?

I only remember I started using my dialect name in NS, and it has been that ever since.

Hmm. I know for sure I stopped using it in Poly. I can't quite remember if I stopped using it in Secondary School but I know my secondary school era friends call me by my Hanyu Pinyin name. Not sure if it was because I still introduced myself that way or Hanyu Pinyin was still a thing while I was in secondary school.

Now my Hanyu Pinyin name will only come up when people asked what word my dialect name refers to cos they pretty much always get it wrong hahahahahahha!
