> why is your name CAKWE?

yummy!

油条 (read: youtiao) is a golden-brown deep-fried strip of dough commonly eaten in China. Click here for the Wikipedia article if you're curious. It's a popular street food in East and Southeast Asia, and it's commonly referred to as "cakwe" (read as: chuck-way) in Indonesia. While I was abroad in the States, I miss eating this one particular food item, it ended up being my pen name. This pen name, "CAKWE" — ended up becoming a reminder of my heritage and my nationality.

> so... who are you?

I am a content creator who started streaming on Twitch as a pngtuber / gif-tuber in 2019, my first stream ever was on July 31st. As time goes on, I became an independent vtuber who streams a variety of games, collabing with other vtubers, and streams art at least once per week. Oh, I also stream Ring Fit Adventure every single day as part of my daily exercise, and yes, I do plan to get stronger as part of my world domination plans. Please look forward to that!

Activities

Drawing is my passion! graphic design is also my passion I have other hobbies, so when I'm not creating visual art, I find myself:
  • Cleaning — When I lose control of my life, at least I can control how clean I want my room to be
  • Open VSCode and update this website manually — It's cheaper than using a website builder
  • Make music with Ableton — haha plugins go wHEEEEEEE(E-E-E-E)eeeeeₑₑₑₑₑₑ.....
  • Keeping my thoughts and goals in my journal
  • Read manga + watch anime + play games

> can you recommend some anime series to watch?

Click here to get redirected to My Anime List, sorted by score + alphabetically.

The titles I've marked with a score of 8 ~ 9 are anime shows / series I think worth watching and recommend. Score of 7 means it's enjoyable for me, but I won't recommend it to my friends unless they like the genre / themes. Score of 6 means I disliked it and won't recommend it. Please note that a lower score rating doesn't necessarily mean the anime's bad, and vice versa -- a high score doesn't mean it's a masterpiece.

Example: I really, really liked Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love Kingdom Movie and that was one of the best cinema experience I've ever had, super fun and memorable. However, not everyone follows this series, and not everyone likes the idol genre. Hence the score of 7 -- I won't recommend it to the general audience, but I would highly recommend it to someone who likes singing and dancing anime boys.
