| STAFF – “Crush” is a February 2016 release from Malaysian singer-songwriter superstar Yuna and features American RnB icon, Usher. The song is gentle, takes its time, a slow-moving back and forth between the two artists. I’ve been looping this for the past hour, and late to the party by about a year, that’s fine. […]

| STAFF – In 2002, bricks and mortar music stores were not extinct. In what used to be the original Metrotown Mall there was a specialty shop called POLY that marketed Asian media exports. It was here that I learned about a prolific rock band from Japan called Spitz and a song called Gerbera (ガーベラ), […]

| A while back, in a talk I had with a friend, I brought up how peculiar it is that humans derive energy from very specific, mathematically linked arrangements of sound and movement. How is it that we enjoy one sequence of sounds in a given song yet are unnerved by a different series […]

| The Chinese have throughout history travelled near and far from their homeland in the pursuit of opportunity. Combined numbers of the diaspora are in the realm of 40 million.

| Harper’s Bazaar is one of our favorite fashion publications. They put together some nice spreads — carefully staged, tastefully styled. Below are our favorite shots from their March 2016 issue. Really like the jewel-flower pairings: a marriage of two very different symbols of beauty that are both naturally occurring, often subject to human-induced augmentation. Questions […]

| I discovered supermodel Godfrey Gao grew up in the same neighborhood as me in North Van. We went to the same high-school and moved on to the same college around the same time and we share the same ethnicity. The natural progression of things here is obviously to conjure up what-ifs before settling for […]

| It’s mid-summer and for many of us that means wedding season, a time when we celebrate the union between two people we hold dearest, or some relative we’ve sort of met and that person they met that time.

| For those who grew up in the 80s, many of us, at some point in our lives, have dreamed about Transformers toys coming alive – mayhem spilling over the carpet floor, fluids gushing, laser fire brilliance, smoke plumes, bodies strewn, deafening blasts, the sizzling sound of electrical waves, the crackles and snaps of sparks, […]

| I received an email from my cousin recently about a screening for a film she was recently in. Not knowing anything about the project, when I arrived at Vancity Theatre I was pleased to find that it was part of a 4-film program for the 10th Vancouver International Women in Film Festival, an event […]
