a unisex name?

before i forget, i just have to write about this one incident.

it occurred just before my long case during the ortho exams.

i was anxiously awaiting my turn to be called to start the long case, pacing about while trying my best to read whatever notes was in my hand thus annoying my friends with my active movements.

after a while, finally the lady called our names and gave us our boards with the paper to write our notes on. i stood beside her as i waited for her to call my name. mine was the last name called. then she looked at the only male student around for a response. there was none.

realizing what was happening, i told her that it was my name. she turned red and gave me the board, apologizing for the mistake.

no worries sister, i'm kinda getting used to the mistaken identity.

the 'binti' thing does actually help ppl differentiate between genders.
