 1. What is your favourite fruit?
Apples for sure! The best tasting (texture and sweetness) for me are fuji apples with a certain distinct stripped skin patterning. My dad and I only choose those when picking them out of the box at supermarkets. I also love banana, but only when its mashed and blended into my oats.

2. What is the last book you read?

I am in the midst of reading a Chinese serialised (and in progress) webnovel called 伪装燃命后成神了！[无限] by 夏唯一 | Unlimited Flow: After faking Lifeforce Overdrive I became GOAT! by Summer's Only. It's about a cunning compulsive liar in an unlimited flow game with a silver tongue, a deceptively fragile appearance - and actually fragile body due to debuff from his powers, an excellent grasp of psychology, and internal POV narration that portrays (and really believes) himself as cold, pragmatic and self-serving... but the characters he interacts with and us, the readers, can tell he has a heart deep down. It's very hilarious to watch his split second decisions to sow seeds - just in case - string everyone along and watch those seeds later bloom into immensely useful chances. He'd impress and amuse Consort Jing. She's on another level of course, but this is the highest praise I can give.

 

3. Do you like any of your school photos?
No lol. But I kept every single photo, selfie, yearbook and coffee table book because I am a nostalgic creature who hates saying goodbye. Getting rid of these would be like saying goodbye to the people we were before :'(

 

4. Do you ever blowdry your armpits to get the deodorant to dry quicker?
... no? I didn't know that was a thing. Question asker, did you throw out a bunch of random questions to hide the true query you need an answer to here? If so, it isn't very well hidden; this one is EXTREMELY out of place.

 

5. What was the last film you watched?

My last full length film watched in the cinema would be 哪吒之魔童闹海 | Nezha 2, which was very delightful in some aspects and a little disappointing in others (but oh well! you can't have everything!). On streaming platform(s), that place goes to Kpop Demon Hunters which wasn't quite tight enough in places I'd like them to be, but packed in so many industry and cultural references while telling a charming - romance free - story that they're forgiven.

LOL it's so funny to get to question#4 and then have everything to go back to normal for question#5.

(I really should try getting into oats, it seems so healthy and convenient.)

Highly recommend oats!!!! Warm oats with miso and a bit of pepper, or honey and a spoonful of bran powder are so good in the morning, and it can keep you full until lunch. Overnight oats (oats in a jar with water or milk, and anything else you want to toss in, then refrigerated overnight) are the tastiest lunch or desert on a hot day.
