In my interview, I focused a lot on the personal aspects of her life. I discussed mostly her relationships and her family life in Macau. My work is inspired by her personal history with her ex-boyfriend and her grandfather’s pets. Her grandfather kept ten snakes, three of them pythons. The image stuck in my head, of a black python slithering across the wooden floor of a kitchen, and my story blossomed around that strange energy. I was surprised by how laid back she was, and how much she swore. I was under the impression that she would be more conservative with her language, so when she told me “Melbourne is a bit shit” I was pretty shocked, but kind of delighted. I am disappointed that we didn’t end up being wonderful friends. I had hoped, like some of the other students, that we would become close, but for whatever reason, technology incompatibility, or personal disinterest, it just didn’t happen. I was expecting her to be a writer, but as it turns out, she’s not so big into writing. I changed all of my questions, that was in relation to writing as more general questions about her life.
