Mr Adult

An old Mr Children song that I find moving. I really like the video. The joy and sorrows of life. Where have our dreams gone? Am I bold enough to take life by the horns and fight for better days? Or do I wallow in regrets? There’s no easy answers [...]

Northen Europe Our Final Destnation

I was really amused by My Little Airport’s morbid little ditty called 北歐是我們的死亡終站 (Northen Europe Our Final Destnation). There are days, days that I thought ending it is quite a viable idea. But I know I am too chicken and hell, I should at least try to make life work. But then [...]

Splinter

All I can say is “Splinter” is one hell of a 82 min movie ride. A couple that went on a camping trip were abducted by an escaped convict and his girlfriend, and situation has it that they got stuck at an isolated gas station being stalked by a Splinter parasite that transforms its [...]

Lei Guang Xia’s 80s

She has been around in the Taiwan music scene for a decade yet I’ve never heard of her until I read some coverage of hers on some Chinese indie music sites. Lei Guang Xia 雷光夏 is a singer-song writer, radio DJ, soundtrack composer and basically an all round talent. I think her songs [...]

Anri Kumaki

A Japanese artist I’ve just discovered and liked is Anri Kumaki 熊木 杏里. I’m kinda impressed that she writes her own material. She started writing songs when she was 17-year-old and won the audition of the TV program which was broadcasted by Nippon Television in 2001. Her music style is a lot [...]

Still. My dear

A chinese song that has hit the soft spot of my heart recently. Huge part of the sweetness comes from Karena Lam’s guest voice. But it actually tells a bitter tale of a love that has expired. Great listen for the autumn season.
依然‧親愛的 – at 17 (feat. 林嘉欣)

Tegami

Just heard this song and fell in love with it. I’m a little too old to identify with the words… “slightly” cringe worthy? Still I am moved by the melody and Aki’s delivery.

English Translation from Meheartdancing:
Dear you,
Who’s reading this letter
Where are you and what are you doing now?
For [...]

This, hands down, got to be my favorite picture of the week.

Hu Yin Meng 胡茵梦

I can’t quote any of her movie works now. I have pretty much forgotten about this actress, til’ a TV show’s mentioned of her name brought back some memories. Hu Yin Meng (胡茵梦) was a popular actress of mid 70s and early 80s. When I think of her, my memory conjures [...]
