Things Happened Around You & I

Last couple of months

2010-07-14T21:56:00.000-04:00

Oooo it’s been a while I didn’t write any entries in my blog. I had the plan to do so but always the laziness and time constraint prevent me from doing this. Plus, I prefer to sum up what I did, where did I go and what happened for the last couple of months in an entry instead of story telling you guys in details in each entry. That’s much much better for me..

Well..on July 9to 10, I went to Montreal with my four friends to attend the Vans Warped Tour. It’s more like a concert which has many stages for many bands to perform in a time. Most of the bands origin from around Canada and the United States with diversity of genres and some of them might be underground bands which less-known but the interesting part is when these “underground” bands perform on the stages, people love to hear and sing along with the vocalists pretending like they know these bands which what I did. I don’t care about who they are because what I was looking for was the beauty of music and some new songs that I wanna enjoy. Bands like SUM 41 and the all American rejects really captured my eyes and perhaps most of the crowds.

Early in the morning of July 11, we went back to Ottawa because of the World Cup Finals which won by the Spanish team. te amo España

The All American Rejects

And this is what happened right after I finished my last exam paper for my second year in Carleton University. All these things were planned by one of my seniors in Ottawa which turned to be my vacation I guess. When I was preparing for my final together with Faris, Dzul and Kham at Loeb Building, Kham suddenly came up with this idea which was a trip to Halifax from April 21-25 and he sent a message to several of my friends to propose the idea and there we were!!Everyone agreed and we moved our asses all the way to Halifax started 10 pm on April 21 with two cars, Mitsubishi Lancer and a Toyota dot dot dot.. I forgot what type of Toyota we used. Kham and I were the first drivers and three of the trip members, Dzul, Pawa and Qushairi helped when the first drivers exhausted I would say. Approximately 2500kilometers covered. It’s like the distance between my hometown and Kuala Lumpur.Hhahaha

Among four places we stepped on, the Prince Edward Island is the most beautiful one followed by Quebec City..The island is linked with the mainland of Canada with the Confederation Bridge and you can see the beauty of the island starts from there. What a fascinating views and I wish I can go there one more time before my visa expired. But next time, I prefer flight instead of driving. Quebec City is like a European city for me. The building design, the people and the views make it looks like typical European city. Most of the Quebec’s people speak French and it is hard for us to find people who speak English as their first language. From the cashiers, tourist guides, billboards, instructions and etc, all are in French. Felt like in France though.

Faris and jabi were preparing for their Mechanics of Solid's paper..and me?fundamentals of engineering thermodynamics for sure accompanied by Greeneyes Coldplay..the video is pretty good though..i really enjoy this one

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go? So why don't we go?

Oh, this could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know

Let it go,

Let it roll right off your shoulder

Don't you know

The hardest part is over

Let it in,

Let your clarity define you

In the end

We will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made

In these small hours

These little wonders,

These twists & turns of fate

Time falls away,

But these small hours,

These small hours still remain

Let it slide,

Let your troubles fall behind you

Let it shine

Until you feel it all around you

And i don't mind

If it's me you need to turn to

We'll get by,

It's the heart that really matters in the end

Our lives are made

In these small hours

These little wonders,

These twists & turns of fate

Time falls away,

But these small hours,

These small hours still remain

All of my regret

Will wash away some how

But i can not forget

The way i feel right now

In these small hours

These little wonders

These twists & turns of fate

Time falls away but these small hours

These small hours, still remain,

Still remain

These little wonders

These twists & turns of fate

Time falls away

But these small hours

These little wonders still remain

Come up to meet you,

Tell you I'm sorry,

You don't know how lovely you are.

I had to find you,

Tell you I need you,

Tell you I set you apart.

Tell me your secrets,

And ask me your questions,

Oh let's go back to the start.

Runnin' in circles, Comin' in tails,

Heads on a science apart.

Nobody said it was easy,

It's such a shame for us to part.

Nobody said it was easy,

No one ever said it would be this hard.

Oh take me back to the start.

I was just guessin',

At numbers and figures,

Pullin' the puzzles apart.

Questions of science, Science and progress,

Do not speak as loud as my heart.

Tell me you love me,

Come back and haunt me,

Oh, what a rush to the start.

Runnin' in circles, Chasin' tails,

Comin' back as we are.

Nobody said it was easy,

Oh it's such a shame for us to part.

Nobody said it was easy,

No one ever said it would be so hard.

I'm goin' back to the start.

Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh, Ah ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh, Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh, Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohh.

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment, maybe sing with me
All - ah peaceful melody
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Scooch on closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
Please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This is out fate, I'm yours

O Canada!..Our home and native land!..True patriot love in all thy sons command......continue....hahaha..these words are actually the first 3 lines of the canada's national anthem but since i dunoe how to sing this anthem, i stopped there.for those who know this anthem, yeah you should continue to sing..hihi.mm..last week, when i was surfing the internet to find special event in ottawa (so desperate to jalan2 cari makan), i found something interesting about canada..what i discovered about canada was about the education level in canada. a research conducted by an independent group of people in montreal, canada (based on the data derived from numerous sources including the United Nations agencies and the United States' Central Intelligance Agencys' World FactBook) shows that the most educated country in the world is canada (http://www.aneki.com/most_educated.html) followed by the united states. this is based on the number of people (percentage of population) in the country aged between 25-64 that have attained a tertiary level of education...fuh..but the only thing appeared on the surface of my mind was..where is my lovely country, malaysia?malaysia is not in the list?...mmmm..

alohaaaa

I see em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are also on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
Theyre really sayin......i love you.

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
Theyll learn much more.....than Ill never know
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world

(instrumental break)

The colors of a rainbow.....so pretty ..in the sky
Are there on the faces.....of people ..going by
I see friends shaking hands.....sayin.. how do you do
Theyre really sayin...*spoken*(I ....love....you).

I hear babies cry...... I watch them grow
*spoken*(you know their gonna learn
A whole lot more than Ill never know)
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself .......what a wonderful world.
