Roughly three weeks ago, my mum announced that she was going in for knee surgery. It was her first surgery, and the first time I will experience anyone going through a surgery. Being the hyper active, energetic woman that she is, I knew it was going to be tough on her as she will not be mobile for a few weeks. She was worried. So was I.

I remember graduating from college and wondering…where do I go from here? How do I start looking for a job? Especially, how do i get into the big, bad glamorous world of advertising as a copywriter?

Album: Joanna Wang “start from here”.

If you love jazzy voices and soothing music to ease the ears. If you like songs with lyrics that sometimes tug at heartstrings. If you love a mix of English and Chinese songs, then Joanna Wang’s album is one you would love.

I personally can’t speak Mandarin but I secretly love Chinese songs. Listening to her sweet soothing voice which is as clear as trickling water on a glass panel, I would have never known that this Taiwanese new comer is only 20 years old.
