60 Seconds with Pong Nan

Favorite Hong Kong noise:
Airplanes. I used to go to school near Kai Tak. I miss the old airport. The new airport is sterile.

In your pocket:
Eye drops, chapstick and tissues.

Stupidest trend:
Kids who pronounce Cantonese incorrectly and think it’s cool, but it’s not.

Can we dance?
Despite my expectations, a lot of the younger crowd can really dance their asses off. Sadly, the only group that remains non-dancing is Caucasian men.

Funeral music:
I don’t even plan on having a proper funeral. I don’t want people to go through the whole traumatizing experience of going to a funeral and mourning over a very bad photo of me that I haven’t even chosen. I’m just going to do it very casually. At a place where music cannot be played.

In 20 years:
Definitely not singing. After 20 years, I won't still want to be vain about how I look and how much I weigh. I’ll still be writing and producing music. Just growing a pot belly at the same time.
