헐~~ Hull! I was doing some spring cleaning and came across 'inex magazine' (2013, vol 20) where my first book 'Gedung Kuning; Memories of a Malay Childhood' was featured. I had forgotten about that interview done by a Korean writer. I think that this article is my first article published by a non-English and non-Malay media channel in Singapore and overseas. Who would have thought... Anyway, I remember asking my Korean friend whom I had met at the United Nations to help me translate the article (not sure if I ever got the translated text from her). . 대박! Daebak! So surreal, given my 'late-bloomer' interest in the Korean wave. . ps. Do check out the revised edition of the book.
