Dont Make Me Call Her

This week, I dial up my West London gurl, the fabulous Nadia Monzon Ladas, co-founder of Vessel Gallery in the heart of Notting Hill Gate. Since 1999, Vessel Gallery has been the go-to destination for contemporary art - all curated to perfection.

We stroll down memory lane with chats about riding my BMX with my wicked red hair days, a hilariously awkward naked-in-Japan moment (TMI), the charm of hairy chests and big boobs, our shared love of 80s music, and some good old parenting advice for tackling teen drama.

Stick around to learn some fun Cantonese slang with me and Professor Theo. New episodes drop every Friday, so grab your cuppa and have a laugh! Then call your mates and ask, “Hey, how’s it going?”

Ken is my Malaysian brother from another mother. An international Creative Director, he’s worked with powerhouses like LVMH, Uniqlo, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Monocle magazine. Originally a Perth boy, Ken has spent years living in New York and London, but Covid brought both our families back to the world’s “safest city”—Perth.

In today’s episode, I call Ken to hear about his recent Japan trip, debate the differences between boomer parenting and ours, and compare notes on cross-cultural marriage dos and don’ts (we both married Caucasians).

Ken gets a shock when I reveal how I got even with my Royal Highness mother for her childhood punishments. Let’s just say, I’ve never fit the Asian goody two-shoes-girl stereotype.

Stick around till the end for a Cantonese slang crash course courtesy of me and Professor Theo. New episodes drop every Friday!

For my first-ever phone call, I dial up my amazing friend Tony Ward, who lives in Mexico. Tony’s family moved from Hong Kong to the UK,  he shares hilarious tales about his fierce 5’2” mum, who ran their Chinese restaurant like a lady-boss (don't ever mess with Mama Ward!). He shares the emotional yet humorous story of his "coming out" journey, including his mother's attempt to "convert" him with a trip to Thailand—a memory he can now laugh about in hindsight. He also reflects on how having a strong mother shaped him but left him struggling to express his emotions openly. As a mum myself, this conversation was eye-opening, filled with valuable insights and lessons.

We also look back on our drum and bass days—Tony is partly to blame for my dodgy knees after countless late-night dance marathons. Oh, and if you’re keen to learn some wicked Cantonese swear words, you are in the right place. Let the banter begin!

New episode drops every Friday.
