Once Upon a Miao 1

ISBN: 9789671346501

No one told me that I had to draw a person if I wanted to tell a story of a person. So, I drew myself into a cat to tell the stories of my youth, growing up in Kuching, Sarawak. It’s really not because I do not know how to draw a person. Certainly not. “koff koff”. Oh, if you don’t know where Sarawak is, it’s on Borneo Island, the other side of Malaysia across the South China Sea. When I left my hometown at the age of 17 to pursue my studies, I found that many of my new friends knew next to nothing about Kuching. Some even thought that people from Malaysian Borneo all stayed on trees.
