I dropped by RTHK Radio 3 for a bipolar expresso (not to be confused with an espresso martini, which I also asked for) with rockstar producer Rachel Liu this World Bipolar Day! Thanks RTHK for making this happen at short notice and making me feel so welcome!

If any of this resonates with you, please join Bipolar Hong Kong, the SAR’s bipolar support group. Wishing all bipolar bears a World Bipolar Day that is juuuuuuuust right!
Always one of the highlights of my year, I had an absolute blast reading at the Hong Kong Lit Fest launch of the Women in Publishing Society‘s anthology Imprint 24. My reading was called In Bed with Sadie and a lot less sexy than it sounds. Big thanks to the women with WiPS for your inspiration, love, light and laughter!
The book is available in Bookazine and Lion Rock Press, who co-sponsored the event at the FCC. It’s brimming with literary goodness by wondrous women writers (and me). HUGE thanks to editor extraordinaire Carol Dyer for inviting me back and the fabulous outgoing and incoming WiPS committees for choreographing and hosting such an epic event!
Aiya! My return to RTHK Radio 3 did not go as planned. I arrived at the studio early and zoned out when I realised hang on, aren’t I supposed to be on the air by now? It turned out Noz was in the studio, too. Just not the one I was in. She was in the one on the other side of town. So we did the interview on the phone but I couldn’t upload my poem without cutting her off (so RTHK listeners were spared that annual ‘treat’. At least until World Bipolar Day.😆)
Always a slice of sunshine chatting to Noz in any sticky situation – on the air or off it! Hope your World Mental Health Day was as full of memorable mishaps and mayhem as mine! And it was nice being back in the studio, even if it was the wrong studio!

Catch me back on RTHK Radio 3’s Brunch with Noreen this World Mental Health Day (Fri 10 Oct) from 11am when I’ll be chatting to Noz about mental health and sharing another poem!
Please support Mind HK‘s ‘Light the Spark’ campaign to bring free mental healthcare to young people this World Mental Health Day! 💟
Find me in the Reflection Room in this World Mental Health Day episode of Brunch with Noreen on RTHK Radio 3 where Noz and I are chatting Bipolar Hong Kong and I share a poem dedicated to all the companies all over the world that care about mental health on World Mental Health Day and not quite so much the other 364 days of the year…
The poem was one of a bunch I read at Mind HK‘s Poetry, Stories and Mental Health event at the 2024 Hong Kong Lit Fest in March. Please support mental health in the workplace every day! 💜
