I know this sounds like an angsty teen punk-rocker wannabe, but my life is absolutely screwed up.

I just got the worst news, and gosh I absolutely cannot believe it because it's just so wrong. I shan't elaborate, because I figure it's the person's news to spill and I already feel kinda bad for blabbing to one person. ): But it is way unfair and just proves the theory that life is horrible.

That was screwed up in a bad way. But the next thing is screwed up in a somewhat mildly amusing way.

I also recently discovered (only last night, in fact) that my surname's not supposed to be Yeow but the more commonly seen Yeo, but is only Yeow because of a clerk working the name registering department a long long time ago, who screwed up.

My granddad's surname is Yeo, and therefore my dad and thus my surname ought to be Yeo too. Even though the chinese character is still pronounced yao. It's just a weird dialect... uh, mutation? of yao. But apparently when my granddad was registering my dad's and my uncle's names, the clerk decided to be clever and added an extra w to make the English version sound more like the chinese one.

Whatever (: Yeow sounds cooler anyway.
