i just got interviewed on the phone by a local bilingual portal (english+mandarin)!
you can read the original article (written in mandarin only) here.

so thanks to google, i translated my article and this is the hilarious result that i thought i’d share!
click here to read the translated article… teehee -
here are the works i put up at my mini show Love is a Dog from Hell at 15minutes cafe in lasalle college of the arts.
