I was born in #Singapore of #Hakka, #Hokkien & #Peranakan descent, & live & work on unceded #Gadigal land in so-called #Australia.
I like to post about #food, #fashion, #cats, #poetry, #art & #design. I’m passionate about #community & #socialjustice.
I love life, & I love connecting with others. I ask you for #respect of my boundaries, & pls, no advice unless specifically asked for. TIA!
