I realised that almost all my music is pre-2000, it scares me. It made me feel so dated. The other day, I saw that my Bioengineering professor’s iTunes playlist, full of Nelly, Beyonce and whoever else. So I thought, is my music revealing my true age? Maybe it was time for a rejuvenation.

Thus, I went on a mission to discover new music, thanks to a very small grant from United to try Sony’s Connect store. And given that opportunity, what did I turn to? No, not the latest Hip-Hop, Top 40, or anything else that would acquit me of the terrible crime of being musically trapped in the 1990s. No, instead I sought out the familiar voice of my beloved Darren Hayes of Savage Garden. True love lasts a lifetime, isn’t that right?

And is it so bad to reveal your age? As Iman tells me, 50 is the new 40. There’s hope yet.
