Next to Arashi and CNBLUE, I fangirl pandas. They’re stress-free than idols and I guess it’s more embarrassing to be dubbed a panda hater than an anti-fan so the panda fandom is virtually free of negativity. Yesterday, Taipei Zoo’s Yuan Zai turned one. When was it when baby dumpling had to be separated from her…
(With apologies to Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II and The Sound of Music.)

Sometimes you get an assignment to interview someone and it happens to be a celebrity. Sometimes also the interview…
I’m looking at my passport to remember the travels I have done this year. Not many compared to previous years it seems. Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (March) My first trip in 2011 happened to be for the Jay Chou concert in Kuala Lumpur. To be honest, KL is not really one of my fave cities in…
(This is part of the series on behind-the-scenes while covering celebrities.) This may as well be an apology letter to Mike He. And @marylngoh would know why I would need to make that apology to Xiao Mei. Whenever I have a trip to Taipei, I always ask my friends who I should interview. Of course,…
