I know technically I should address them respectively as 阿欣 (Ah-Yan), 阿兒 (Ah-Yi), 阿琪 (Ah-Kai) being older than them and all that, it just might have been a tad confusing for English readers not familiar with Chinese customs what this 阿 (Ah) business was all about! :D Think we have a bit of a mix up here, as my mother’s side of the family, from which my uncle takes his family name which passes on to his three daughters is 林 (Lam). 卓 (Cheuk) is the generation name for the three girls… I know technically I should address them respectively as 阿欣 (Ah-Yan), 阿兒 (Ah-Yi), 阿琪 (Ah-Kai) being older than them and all that, it just might have been a tad confusing for English readers not familiar with Chinese customs what this 阿 (Ah) business was all about! :D

My Chinese name is 卓立 and have almost never met anyone outside of my family with that last name. I wonder if we are related. I grew up in New York and have lived in Hong Kong for two years working as an architect about 10 years ago. If you may, would you ask if 卓欣 (Cheuk Yan) and 卓兒 (Cheuk Yi) and 卓琪 (Cheuk Kai) would communicate with me via email? Thank you. Candice Cheuk Hello there,

Thankfully didn't get that many whilst in Hong Kong (almost forgot this was about Hong Kong, and not just Valentine's Day!) though what I did find most amusing was the fact myself and cousin Yi were mistaken as a couple at least half a dozen times whilst I was over there... heh. Anyway, what's wrong with "... and all that stuff"?

I'm allowed to loath it! Plus it's not called "Hallmark Day" without reason... and if one is in a relationship which has more weight than pure fluff, there are another 364.25 days in the year to express love and all that stuff.
