With Dandenong North’s Wilson Fernandez, creator of the Australian Nativity Scene
What is something people don’t know about you?
I love knowing more about the universe, stars and galaxies, alien life and more. The subject is quite interesting and fascinating.
What was your most memorable moment?
Migrating to Australia is one of the most memorable moments as it changed my life for good. I call Australia my home and get home sick when I travel overseas.
What would your last meal be?
My mum’s spicy coconut king prawn curry with hog plums served on a bed of brown rice and fried Spanish mackerel. Yum.
What event, past, present or future, would you like to witness?
Michael Jackson in concert.
What is your favourite television show?
I have two favourite television shows that I love to watch any time or any given day. They are I love Lucy and the Cosby Show.
What is your favourite book?
I’m not much into books. I love reading news and magazines about politics, science, space, aliens, gardening and travel books.
What six guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party?
These are my six guests in no particular order: Michelle Pfeiffer, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Maria Sharapova, Sachin Tendulkar and Princess Diana.
What has been your most embarrassing moment?
When I ran into the mirror wall at DFO, Moorabbin, about 16 years ago. I was with my family and friends shopping for clothes. My then-three-year-old daughter was trying to shut the fitting room door with her hand that could have potentially jammed her fingers, if closed. I saw her doing this activity from the corner of my eye and suddenly charged for her safety. Without realising, I bashed into the wall size mirror with a big bang. Yet I managed to get up and save my daughter from that incident. Everyone around was shocked and laughed while this happened but no one realised why I ran into the mirror. It was later I revealed what actually happened. It was the reflection of the fitting room that was seen in the mirror. Poor me!
What era would you like to live in?
I would love to be in the future era, as the generation of the future would possibly explore living life beyond Earth.
What was your first or best concert?
The Melody Makers concert was the biggest star-studded night.
