What are you curious about?
Well, you are Taiwanese. You grew up on Gold Coast… over the years, as I have often talked about you behind the scenes… people have been asking me, “Does she know that Taiwanese star? And their husband? Everyone knows their husband is also Taiwanese and grew up on Gold Coast?!”
Oh? There is lore?
Yes… (nodding)… people ask me ALL THE TIME and I can’t answer them because you were GHOSTING ME and I couldn’t actually ask YOU…
(Giggling) Well… I’ve been asked, too. I didn’t know this was lore…
You’ve been asked too?!
Yes… sometimes… Taiwanese people on Gold Coast… international student visas… working holiday visas… as soon as they find out I’ve “grown up on Gold Coast” — they ask, “Do you know that Taiwanese Star and their husband?!” Because — the lore? I guess?!
Yes! Everyone in Asia who follows that Taiwanese Star knows their lore!
Well… the first time it happened, I went home and asked Mum.
And…?
(Chuckling) — Do you think I’m going to tell you the TRUTH on a PUBLIC BLOG?!?!!?
(Wide-eyed) What does this mean?! Are you just being silly or does your family know them?!?!!?
(Sigh)
Gold Coast is a small town…
Yes, and…?
Stop it, Ariana. (LOL)…
Tell me!!! Please!!!
I can literally tell you in real life.
But I want to read about it on this blog!!!
Fine. It’s not that interesting anyway. We’re sort of acquaintances. But that’s it. It’s such a small town, somebody knows somebody who knows them. But we don’t really know them.
Oh?! Really?!!?!?
Well… why are you asking?! Do you want to collab or something?!
No, no, no, I don’t need to collab with that Taiwanese Star… I’m just CURIOUS. I want to learn everything about my wife! And since there’s LORE about another Taiwanese Star — I just wanna KNOW…
Maybe my brother played with him a little bit, as a little kid… the husband of the Taiwanese Star…
He did?!
No. He didn’t. THIS IS ALL FICTION. (LOL)
You can’t take any of this conversation seriously…?
Nope. Not at all. (Chuckling) I think this is really normal “catch up” conversation that you can genuinely ask me face to face.
I can?
Yes! If people who are simply here on WORKING HOLIDAY or just international student visas feels comfortable enough to just bring it up with me in normal chit chat conversation — it’s totally normal for you to just bring it up when we see each other again.
Oh… okay… (smiling)
Yeah? See?! It’s not a big deal… it’s just… people are curious, that is true. People get curious about this… locality… because of their lore. But it’s not like I know where they live or what is their address — ABSOLUTELY NOT. I don’t know any of that shit.
(Nodding) (Eyebrows furrowing)
What?!
I’m really confused now, what is Truth and what is Fiction…
(LOL) So just ASK ME… when you SEE ME… FACE. TO. FACE!!! (Smiling)
