a-ha? What is that?


I am pretty much of an 80s kids. One of my favorite group when I was in school was a-ha. A Norwegian group that sang many of my favorite songs. However, last year in 2010, the group has decided to split. Suddenly I felt so old, the band I know for a long time is retiring??? OK never mind stay calm, it's just part of aging.

Then today, I walked into a CD shop in Sydney. I wanted to look for their collections and hopefully their last farewell concert in Oslo, Norway. I approached a young looking staff, tall lanky guy, with heavy rock metal tee, his nose and ears were pierced and his hair was waist length. I said, "Do you know where I can I find the DVD for a-ha"? He responded, "a-ha, what is that? Is it some kind of singer name, or a movie or folk band? At the back of my mind, I was like traveling in a time machine, remembering the songs often played in my room and cassettes. And this young chap did not even know the band exist?! Suddenly I felt so old again! I could not lie to myself anymore! Time is moving very fast, aging is not that fun yet!
