Thanks for listening to this week's show! I hope you guys enjoyed the first book review - Battle Hymm of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua.

I have been listening to one of the songs on the show obsessively - Thi Si Duoi Vang Trang by Bao Han. I actually put together a mix where I do a virtual duet with Bao Han. It's easy to spot my voice, I sound horrendous and out of tune. I just love singing along to her music. Let me know what you think

Happy Moon Festival!

Happy Moon Festival Everyone! Moon Festival is on Monday 12th September this year. How is everyone celebrating the Moon Festival weekend? Are you going to Moon Festival events in your area? Having a family gathering?

Moon Festival was one of my favourite childhood festivals. My parents would buy me a really pretty lantern (mine was always a butterly), and they'll take me to a Moon Festival event in the city. All the children got dressed up and were happily carrying their lantern around. It's a fond memory of mine.

This year, I'll just be eating lots of moon cakes. Enjoy eating moon cakes everyone!

Next Week - My First Book Review - Amy Chua's 'Battle Hymm of the Tiger Mother

I'm so excited about the first book I will review on the CherriiPOP Show - Battle Hymm of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua.

This book created a lot of controversy in the US media when it was released this year. Naturally, I was curious about the book, so I had to read it. From the moment I read page 1, I was glued to the book. This book is fascinating and incredibly honest. It gives an insight to a mother trying to raise her children with traditional Chinese values in a modern western society.

It's the type of book that you have to read cover to cover; reading excerpts doesn't give you the full picture.

Tune in next week's show for my FIRST book review!

Watch author Amy Chua discuss her book.
