If you're a basketball fan, then you've probably heard of one basketball newcomer, Jeremy Lin. The newest member to join the Knicks, he really has been causing quite a storm in the sports world.
While some of us are still in remembrance of the great Whitney Houston, some people have gotten over it real fast. The day after her death, all music stores hiked up the prices on all Whitney Houston memorabilia and music instantaneously. Netflix also had to remove all media even hinting at Whitney Houston, at the suppliers request. The singer died on Feb 10, [...]
In Canada, we like to think of ourselves as the "True Great North," unaffected by the cold. We joke about living in igloos, skiing to school and having pet polar bears. So what's all this complaining I always hear about it being cold out?
For all of us piano players out there, we are all aware of the grueling Bach Prelude & Fugues, or the ever repetitive Czerny exercises. These, of course, are not bad pieces as they are absolutely crucial for your development in the fundamental skills of piano, but every once in a while, we all need to take a break from [...]
To say I am a music lover is an understatement. That’s why I was beyond stoked when CBC announced the launch of their new website, cbcmusic.ca. From classical to singer-songwriter music to jazz to pop, the new and free website has genres to suit every taste, along with blogs, playlists, live concert recordings and artist pages.

Music without words is my favorite. Now, onto the top ten real deal. Oh, let’s make this a countdown, I’ve always wanted to do one of [...]
I’ve noticed that there are some really awesome photographers here in Calgary. Some of the photos I see as profile pictures on Facebook or outside the art classes at my school look like they came straight out of a magazine. That’s why I’m letting all you great photographers know about this amazing contest. Calgary Junior High and Senior High Students [...]
No one can say they don’t like documentaries. Though not all may have a plot line, action or drama, they can be extremely interesting and intriguing. There are so many documentaries available to us, it’s quite easy to find one that addresses our interests, hobbies, or passions. Personally, I watch all kinds of documentaries for I am the type of [...]
I have English this semester. WOOHOO. (No sarcasm, I actually love English). This is my tribute to its wonderfulness. I love the poetry unit. -Sigh- From the title, I’m sure you can tell that it’s about a utopian and dystopian society. Watch for where it transitions from utopia to dystopia in the midst of the poem~ Lalalala, enjoy Utopia|Dystopia She [...]
From Wes and Phil of WongFu productions, shot in one day: Dream Line. So much beauty and symbolism, in just five minutes. (Can’t understand a word, but I love it.) 1

Being Chinese in heritage, it was only natural that I watch the the annual CCTV New Year’s Gala with my family come Chinese New Year. In a nutshell, the New Year’s Gala is a ginormous compilation of Chinese art, dance, acrobatics, song, and comedy (with the occasional foreign act – this year there was a Russian ballet). An enormous amount [...]
