6 hours of enduring multiple needles scratching onto raw skin, 2 weeks of healing time, and a cost of $500. That’s what Darrell Yang’s paid to have a black and white tattoo of his baby daughter on his forearm.

I am different things to different people: devil’s spawn to my family, nerd to the jolly people of MCM, and girl with the sparkly headband to the little tot next door. I like to think I have, in the wise words of Miss Hannah Montana, “The best of both worlds” – ingenuity, coupled with a wicked sense of humour, but let’s not go that far. I am a quiet person who enjoys quiet hobbies. I love to read – tabloids, novels, back of shampoo bottles, anything I can lay my hands on, really. I like to cook. Although whether or not I can cook, is debatable. I am also a huge music junkie. A peek into my iPod will see the likes of Travis, The Kooks, British Sea Power and The Decemberists, but I’m not exactly finicky when it comes to the type of songs I listen to. Most of the time, Britney Spears and her digitally enhanced vocals suits me just fine.
