Q: What physical things do you bring to Princeton to remind you of home?
A: Malaysian instant noodles.
Q: How is the Princeton community different from your community at home?
A: The food has its ups and downs, but I do like the traditions here, such as the story behind Cane Spree and how the sophomores in Brown Hall were "iced in" during the 19th century because the freshmen stuck a big snowball in the arch which froze over.
Q: How is Princeton the same as your hometown?
A:It's very, very dissimilar, in its own charming way.
Q: How often do you talk to your family, and how?
A: Almost every day. My mom can't get enough of me. Mom calls me, and uses a calling card, text messaging, email and Skype. Basically all forms of communication barring Morse code.
Q: What values will you take from Princeton back home with you?
A: Going in drag on stage is encouraged.
Q: Has your view of your home community changed since you got to Princeton?
A: There is no place like home. And though I do see myself working in the States for a while, I would eventually return home to serve my community.
