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 […]
Chantal is a Canadian artist and is married to the lead singer of Our Lady Peace. You will probably know Chantal from singing “Leaving On A Jet Plane” from the movie Armageddon soundtrack. I am still trying to figure out the meaning of this song but like the Ah Ah Ah Ah… verse of the […]
Another free Museum Sunday in Paris. This time we visited Musee de L’Orangerie to see Monet’s grand work of the Water Lillies. It features 8 Monet’s painting of Waterlilies in a pond in two oval shaped rooms. The large paintings were gifted to the state by Monet. The room feels like a perfect place for […]
This song brings back memories of my time in college when I had two canadians intern in the university. They didn’t necessarily introduced me to the band (MTV did!) but I remembered it was the same time. I am sure we had photo somewhere of us celebrating Canadian day together.

We had a morning to kill and the weather wasn’t great. I googled for free activities and found out that the public library is free entry and have a cafe on one of the highest floor and provides a good view of the city. It is only a short walk from the Central Station and […]
This time on tracks that stuck with me, it is a song by Singaporean Singer & Songwriter Stefanie Sun. She released her debut album in 2000 and went on to win numerous awards. She is popular in Southeast Asia and Greater China. It gives me flashbacks of college days where a songwriter was my collegemate. […]
We were back to Amsterdam over the weekend. The city that I lived in for over 2.5 years. This time we went back with our kids. We visited Zaanse Schans as our first stop. I came to know of this place in my early days of my career when my Dutch boss hosted me over […]
