Q1) What’s the most chaotic day you've had as a high school homeroom teacher?
A1) Oh, there was this one time when my students decided to "prank" me by turning the entire classroom into a mini zoo. They somehow managed to sneak in a bunch of hamsters, a few fish tanks, and even a parrot that kept repeating, "Mr.Stratford’s gay!" I spent the whole day trying to round up the animals and explain to the principal why there was a parrot in detention.
Q2) What’s your go-to comfort food after a long day of teaching?
A2) Instant ramen with a side of ice cream. Don't ask why, it just works. If I'm feeling fancy, I’ll throw in some extra veggies or a boiled egg.
Q3) If you could paint a portrait of anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
A3: Xiao Zhan, obviously. I mean, come on, the man’s a walking masterpiece. I'd paint him in pastels, of course, to really capture his ethereal vibe.
Q4: What’s the most surprising thing about raising a 3-year-old?
A4: The amount of energy they have. Like, seriously, where do they get it from? Also, the random stuff they say. The other day, my kid told me he’s going to be a dinosaur when he grows up. Who am I to crush those dreams?
Q5: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
A5: Tokyo, no question. I miss the vibe, the food, and the fashion. Plus, it’s where I grew up, so it’ll always be home in my heart.
Q6: How would you describe your fashion style in three words?
A6: Pastel, playful, and pretty.
Q7: What’s one thing you’d never do, no matter how much someone offered you?
A7: Eat pineapple on pizza. Nope, never gonna happen. I have my limits, and that’s one of them.
