Christina Chau and my nickname is Panda. Why? I think it started with my brother when I was a wee cub... oh no, that's right, I just wanted to be more 'indie'

Closest you've come to death?
Now that I think about it.. I haven't had many. Does that make me lucky or sheltered? The only time I can think of is when I was 2 and jumped into a pool on a hot day thinking that I could swim like my brother. I was quickly pulled out.

If Janathan Safran Foer and Jonathan Franzen were hitchhiking along the same road and you only had one more seat in your car, who would you pick up?
Three scenarios run through my head a) I would probably think, "wow! Foer and Franzen?! maybe I'll see David Foster Wallace next" and keep driving b) Ask if Foer is ok with sitting on Franzen's lap c) If it really came down to it I'd pick Foer. Franzen would probably talk constantly about bird watching. I'm not that in to birds.

Favourite thing about Tiger Tiger?
It's my favourite coffee in Perth and to eat, the baked egg with chorizo sausage..

Who would win a fight between the Famous Five, The Hardy Boys, The Scoby Doo Gang and Harry Potter?
ooh, this is hard... The Famous Five because they're got balls, brains and numbers.

Recently, whilst enjoying a goregous Fiori coffee and Tiger Tiger you set the Murray Mews alight by donning our tiger mask and pranced the mews like some hybrid character from Portrait of a Lady and The Jungle Book. Was it a spur of the moment thing? or something expertly planned?
Oh you know, being a young talented 'arty type' I'm constantly using the world around me, you know, like improvisation.

Did you experience any William Blake visions?
did it take baby sips to get coffee through the little mouth hole? No, it was kind of sweaty, luckily my friends gave me a straw to sip my coffee with
