Things you should know about me

My full name is Lance Ong-Siong Co Ting Keh, Ong-Siong is my middle name and Co Ting Keh is my last name (yes it’s three words ). I am pure Chinese but was born and raised in the Philippines. I was brought up Catholic, although I regret that I haven’t been fulfilling my weekly duties since I arrived at Duke. I enjoy playing soccer and basketball. Although I don’t have a talent in music, I love listening to it. I’m currently deciding between majoring in BME or ECE (or both if I decide to drive myself nuts).

Pronouncing the Name

I don't think there's any other way to pronounce Lance, but just in case, it's just like Lance Armstrong's. Ong-Siong,on the other hand is pronounced: ONG-shiong, and Co Ting Keh is KO-TING-KE. So to sum it all up, it's LANCE-ONG-shiong-KO-TING-KE

Ohana

My parent’s names are Edmondo and Rowena. I’m the eldest of two siblings, an eight year old younger brother, Lyron, and a thirteen year old sister, Lace. From my family I draw my strength. I sleep soundly at night knowing that they will always be behind me.

Cool (or disgusting, depending on how you see it) stuff

• My left wrist is extremely flexible because of the number of times I broke it playing soccer (I play keeper)
• What seems like a mole on my left palm is actually a pencil’s lead. When I was in first grade my classmate stabbed me with a pencil, the lead broke off and my skin just healed over it.
• The scar on my left leg is because of metal spikes that once embedded into my skin

Top three things I’m afraid of

1. Ghosts
2. The Dark
3. My Mother(just kidding)
