Well, almost a month late since 1st January 2023 but do you know every 1st January, thousands of works become copyright free? This is because the maximum period to protect the work and commercially profit from it ends. This year, see famous characters like Winnie The Pooh going into the public domain. This doesn’t mean […]

A-Yue – Break Up

I was introduced to this track by my eldest sister. She often listens to Chinese songs when we were growing up and did introduced a few hits that stuck in my head. A-Yue (Chang Chen-yue) hails from Taiwan and performs in a band named Free Night. Chang is a Taiwanese aborigine of the Amis people. […]

La Defense – The Canary Wharf of Paris?

I manage to make my way to the office today after relocating to France since September. The journey door to door took approx 40 mins if I timed it correctly. Not a bad commute combining cycling, walking and taking the RER train. It was very nice of the colleagues to buy me lunch today and […]

Lunar New Year Parade in Paris

After 3 years of absence, the Lunar New Year Parade is making a return to Paris. Today, we braved through the crowds and made our way to join in with the celebrations. It was crowded as expected but the sights and sounds made it worth it. I could barely take any insta-worthy photos as I […]

It really got me thinking and reflecting about choices I make and the mystery of life. It fundamentally shifts your believe system from playing victim to be a victor. Of course, everyone’s circumstances are different and […]

Happy Chinese New Year!

Or some would prefer to call it Happy Lunar New Year! We manage to host a family friend on the eve to usher in the festivities. We manage to sneak into Chinatown in a spontaneous plan and it was indeed busy! I do miss the celebrations back in Malaysia but it has been many years […]

The Bravest Lion – A Story Written by AI

I was introduced to AI by a colleague and have been experimenting. I asked AI to write a Children Story about courage and the result is impressive. See the story below. Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a little lion named Leo. Leo was small for his age and […]

James Morrison Live & Loud KL 2007

Can’t believe the weekend is near and I just recall that I watched James Morrison perform in Live & Loud KL in 2007 (A 10 Day Musical Festival). I can’t believe I missed this from my original list of Artists I Have Watched. His song You Give Me Something was a frequently played on the […]
