OVERDONE WORDPLAY, YAY! HOORAY!
The poem is from 2009ish, drawings added retroactively (as in, I just drew them).

Kwan girls flashback: the Roach
Apparently this happened when I was a toddler. Then my sisters ran to my mom because they thought I’d eaten the roach, and my mom laughed in their faces and said, “That’s just a black crayon!”
School’s out for a couple of weeks, and I’m home in Austin, visiting my family (my nephew!! ❤ ), prepping for my first sprint triathlon, eating barbeque, working on violins, and getting up in the middle of every night to smash our resident roaches.
First Taste (guest feature!)
My sister’s first 3D animation is just wonderful in so many ways.

This is a one minute short story about discovery and clumsiness!
This is also my first taste in 3d computer animating
Produced at the New York Film Academy’s 4 week 3d animation workshop (2014)
The music is by me, recorded one year ago, but actually credit should go to my mom for all the lyrics. If you want to learn Cantonese and/or sing along, here are the words and a rough translation:
malachi m-m-m-
malachi m-m-m-
malachi m-mala

malachi kai kai kai
malachi kai kai kai
kai kai doi!yi hoi pang nga siu mat yeh? (what’s that big grin for?)
ong hei ge meen seung dim yeung? (why are you scrunching up your face?)
ho chi seung gong ye dan (seems like you want to say something)
jau dak ah ah seung (but all that comes out is “ah ah” sounds)
mak dai ga hau dak ga long (open your mouth wide, it’s just a big hole)mak dai ga hau dak ga long!
mak dai ga hau dak ga long!
ho chi seung gong ye dan
