Yupz, if you fill up your first name as Ang (surname) and last name as Mo Kia, the printout will be Mo Kia Ang.... so for us Chinese we have to do it the other way round, fill up Mo Kia as the first name and Ang as the last name so it'll come out as Ang Mo Kia. It is not the place, nor the condition, but the mind alone that can make anyone happy or miserable.

Last name = Surname
First name = Given name
Better fill it up accordingly, don't care about what the printout will look like.. if you write your Last name as First name, First name as Last name just to make it look nice, you'll encounter even bigger problem next time..
