Lycaenion
My name is MaliVai Tjong Ayong and I’m a senior writer and an editor for hellokpop, where I’ve been working since December 2010 under the pen name Lycaenion. I'm an aspiring Fantasy author and a quirky, laid back, random and sarcastic person. I've finished my Editing and Media production studies at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam with a Bachelor degree and am now studying Japanese at university level. I’ve decided to be my own hero and work hard to become a person I could look up to. I’ll try my best to accomplish my hopes and dreams, so when I’m old and gray, I won’t look back at a life full of things I should have done. So love me, hate me…I don’t really care that much. Just embrace the randomness that is me. My personal blog: http://lonewolfwhistlinginthedark.wordpress.com
