THE LOVEBIRDS
MARINA
INFJ. A lover of sleep, crepe cakes, and an expert in bubble tea. Graduated from the University of Little Red Book. She enjoys quiet moments, vibing to loud music at karaoke, and food that someone else cooked (especially Nelson’s cooking) ;)
NELSON
Nelson enjoys gaming (mostly ARAM and TFT because he's lazy), watching literally any sport, and pretending his sports bets are just one of his "data analysis projects". He also enjoys cooking for Marina, snacking, and, most recently, playing golf.

THE ISFJ (1)
Brianna first met Marina at Osaka Airport, when Brianna hopped off the plane, Marina warmly greeted her with a hug accompanied by 'you smell very nice', and unsurprisingly they became great friends ever since.

Some best memories include repeated visits to Bashufeng, Factree, Panda Noodles (now closed), the hours long phone calls, and deep chats that pass by a blink.
BRIANNA
MUI MUI
Angela has known Marina since she was still in the womb and hasn’t had a moment of peace since. She’s spent her life as Marina’s unpaid karaoke audience and watching her inhale cakes and dumplings like a human black hole.

But beneath all the chaos, Marina is the first person Angela calls with good news, bad news, or just to rant. She’s her sister, her loudest cheerleader, and the one person she can always count on - even if she steals the last dumpling.
ANGELA
(MAID OF HONOR) (SISTER)
THE ISFJ (2)
Before they met, Mel had heard from one of their mutual friends that they looked alike. They finally met at the HKSS 2016 planning meeting and since then, they’ve discovered they have so much in common, including sharing the same initials, “MH”.

Trips to Japan, playing Animal Crossing, and more recently, Marina being Mel’s maid of honour — these are just some of the precious memories they've shared over the years.

MELFUN
Melvin lives for games, his dog and Angela. He first met Marina mid-sweat and mid-panic, terrified to meet his girlfriend’s family. Thankfully, her kindness and warm welcomes made him feel right at home.

Then came Nelson, a true bromance spark. They instantly bonded over games, snacks, and all things nerdy. Melvin’s stoked to call these two his soon-to-be siblings… even if he’s still a little salty Nelson didn’t pick him.

THE PUNTER
Tom and Nelson didn't like each other at first, even before they’d actually interacted. But that changed fast! Nelson taught Tom how to shoot a basketball, and they've been sinking shots together ever since.

If you need a good betting tip, Tom is your guy. And if you ever want to strike up a chat about any random topic, he’ll always share his honest thoughts. You’ll also be able to hear him from across the room thanks to his one of a kind laugh.
TOM
(BEST MAN)
OLD SIDE
Mengpu and Nelson went from after-school walking buddies in primary, to literal copy-and-paste homework buddies, and now to coffee and drinking buddies today (though it’s usually Mengpu peer pressuring Nelson to have a drink).

He’s the one Nelson goes to for anything and everything. He’s also responsible for teaching Nelson most of his bad habits (but don’t tell the parents).
