The life and times of a Wongfu fangirl

I love Wongfu Productions. I love all their sketches, shorts, series, every Wongfu Weekend, every music video. Everything. (Okay probably not everything, but close enough). In fact, if the three guys from Wongfu – Wes Chan, Ted Fu and Phil Wang – morphed into one amalgamation of a human being, I would probably marry that person. I’m…
