Under the moonlight

I have been so entranced by this song featured in the Novetel advert below. There is something romantic and ethereal about the singer's voice that just sends shivers down my spine.



Anyway, I did a little bit a of detective work on Google and found out that the singer is Emilie Simon, a 28-year-old French singer/songwriter. Her music, I suppose, is quite typical of the European electronic vocals-type genre. Love her voice, and of course, it does sound even sexier in French!

A forgotten populace

The Herald published a slideshow of the living conditions faced by indigenous Australians just 50 minutes from Cairns. Do have a look at the slideshow and the article that it accompanied. It's shocking to see (but perhaps not surprising?) such third-world poverty in this country.
