The witch that lives in my hill

"There are witches in the hills calling my name
saying come join us sister, come kiss the flame
Come dance in the moonbeams, ride the night wind
make love to the darkness and laugh at man's sins
I shiver with delight, I shiver with fear
my heart wants to go but my soul's filled with fear
So I turn to my lover and ask what do I do
do I answer their call or stay here with you
But under spell of deep sleep he moans and turns away
taking his protection and my desire to stay
So I rise to the hill tops, I ride the night winds
I make love to the darkness and laugh at man's sins"

Cowboy Junkies, "Witches" lyrics

Paris is the ultimate paradise for….

CHOCOLATE!!!

Just been in a colleague's office tasting Parisian chocolate… this experience, combined with my recent passage by the "Maison du chocolat" and my other chocolate tasting experiences in Paris… allowed me to conclude that, for chocolate - Paris is definitely better than Switzerland (the whole country yes!)!!!

New masters' year resolutions!

Because the new study year is about to re-start, my study colleague from Malaysia, came up with these brilliant resolutions!!

We all subscribed them!

"(Together now, repeat after me)

We, the class of 2005/2006 (Geneva/Torino chapter) , solemnly resolve to drastically reduce our stress levels in second year by:

1. Starting to study earlier
2. Take study leave at least 3 months in advance
3. To login into the Webboard system at least once a week
4. To remember to answer all exam questions in SEPARATE booklets
5. To memorize our candidate number by heart and to write it on our exam booklet each and every time (or better still, on every page)
6. To never stop lobbying for the removal and banning of APWCIP* from the course who are just making the rest of us look slack!

*APWCIP = Annoying Parents With Child In Photo"

Let the new year begin!!! (and see what am I going to fail this time!!)

Mary...

"I love the tone that's in your laugh
Gasping for an extra breath
Waiting for the time to pass
I believe in days ahead
Don't spend another night alone
Cross and wishing you were dead.

Mary, you shouldn't let them make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man.

I've had it easy now you see
When I'm down you're always there
Standing by to comfort me
Someday we'll go round the world
I'll make the journey so sublime
I know you're not a travelin' girl.

Mary, you shouldn't let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man.

Cause I'd give everything I have
Forget all the things that bring me joy
If you could have one day
Pure and simple happiness
Until that moment comes
I'll be here where I've always been
I'm gonna be your friend
Until the day I die.

Mary, you shouldn't let 'em make you mad
You hold the best you can
And Mary, after all the pain is gone
I'm always gonna live to be your man.

(hold on....)"

From the 1st CD of the "scissors sisters". Great song... great band!

Crestfallen

sculpture: Rodin, The Kiss, 1886

"Who am I to need you when I'm down
Where are you when I need you around
Your life is not your own

And all I ask you
Is for another chance
Another way around you
To live by circumstance, once again

Who am I to need you now
To ask you why to tell you no
To deserve your love and sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me

And you may go, but I know you wont leave
Too many years built into memories
Your life is not your own

Who am I to need you now
To ask you why to tell you no
To deserve your love and sympathy
You were never meant to belong to me

Who am I to you?
Along the way
I lost my faith

And as you were, you'll be again
To mold like clay, to break like dirt
To tear me in your sympathy

You were never meant to belong to me
You were never meant to belong to me
You were never meant to belong to me

Who am I?"

Another one from the the CD "Adore" - Smashing Pumpkins... To me, this is one of their best CDs
