More about me
I'm glad to introduce my cat Go-Wha, pronunciation in Chinese means PUPPY since he acts like a puppy all the time. Funniest and happiest cat I'v ever seen! You will know it with one click :)
What's more? How about a cheerleader (former), a kayak learner (recent), and a hotpot lover (forever)!
