Staying in Australia, Tina Arena is my songstress of choice this week. Tina Arena is one of Australia’s highest selling artist with over 10 million records sold globally. I can recall that this song was released in 1997 as I just began high school in Penang. I used to maintain my own weekly top 10 […]

I am finally back in Paris after a two weeks jammed packed holiday in Malaysia. We visited Zoo Negara with the kids. We have talked about this for a while now ever since the Panda’s were welcomed to the National Zoo but never made the effort to visit it. The morning started with a drizzle […]
A band that originated from Ontario Canada during the era of Punk Rock. Sum 41 was the time when I grew to like the genre from similar acts like Blink 182, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan & Bowling For Soup. I am surprised that the band is still going strong and outgrowing their teenage years. I […]
