Junoon - Bulleya

Ok...I know that this isn't really what most of you guys might think that I will listen to. This song is from a famous artist from Pakistan named Junoon (or is it a band or something). I was told that Junoon has made concerts around India, US and UK over sometime, so he must be real good! How about you be the judge? Here's the lyrics and translation. Enjoy listening! =)

Bulleya ki jaanan mein kaun
bulleya ki jaanan mein kaun
na mein momin wich maseetein
na mein wich kufr di reetan
na mein paakan wich paleet aan
na mein moosa na firoan
bulleya ki jaanan mein kaun
bulleya ki jaanan mein kaun

aawwal aakhir aap nun jaanan
ne mein koi dooja aur pichaanan
mein tu wadd naa koi siyana
bulleya ho bulleya
bulleya ki jaanan mein kaun
bulleya ki jaanan mein kaun
na mein aabi na mein khaki
na mein aatish na mein poun
bulleya ki jaanan mein kaun
na mein paakan wich paleet aan
na mein moosa na firoan
bulleya ki jaanan mein kaun

Bulleya, who am I?
I am no believer in a mosque
And I have no pagan ways
I am not pure. I am not vile
I’m no Moses and I’m no Pharoah
Bulleya, who am I?

First and last, I see the self
I recognize no second to it
No one is more knowing than me
But, Bulleh, who is it that I am?
Bulleya, who am I?

Water nor dust are neither what makes me
I am not flame. I am not wind
I am not pure. I am not vile
I’m no Moses and I’m no Pharoah
Bulleya, who am I?

Why?

I can't seem to understand...why instead of good things to be said, we ended up said out words that will only hurt us both...

sometimes I just don't understand.
I wish that it will stop.
Can't bear this pain and hurtful feelings anymore.

Why I find it so hard...
Why it must be this complicated..
Why him, why me, why us?

I just wish that things will turn on better for tomorrow, I hope.

Nickleback - Far Away

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

Girl I'm so tired of things

Baby why you buggin out
I know that I put you through hell
You deserve to be with someone else
But I gotta be straight up
Straight up
Girl I just wanna kiss and make up
We done been through a lot of things
How do you throw that away
You were the heart of me
Can't believe you'd let it break
Tell me why you won't let em go

You can say what you want but I know
Baby no more lies
I'ma keep it real this time

Help me understand
What I'm sayin and get through
Why I can't be your man
When I'd give up the world for you
Girl I'll do the best I can
Love you forever that's what I'd do
If I was your man
If I was your man
If I was your man

Got rid of everything that I know was hurting you
My heart, so many strings
Gave that up for you too
Don't want nothin' else in the way
I just wanna make sure that you stay
Baby no more lies
I'ma do it right this time

Help me understand
What I'm sayin and get through
Why I can't be your man
When I'd give up the world for you
Girl I'll do the best I can
Love you forever that's what I'd do
If I was your man
If I was your man
If I was your man

Can't live without you anymore
Baby I know that you're what I'm fightin' for
Baby say that you'll still be with me
In my arms is where you need to be
Can't live without you anymore
Baby I know that you're what I'm fightin' for
Baby say that you'll still be with me
In my arms is where you need to be

Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
If I was your man
If I was your man

Help me understand
What I'm sayin and get through
Why I can't be your man
When I'd give up the world for you
Girl I'll do the best I can
Love you forever that's what I'd do
If I was your man
If I was your man
If I was your man

Singapore Sling

I haven’t tried this cocktail before…even during my previous visit to Singapore (it was known as one of Singapore’s trademark - that’s why it was named so, I guess). Most probably it’s because I am too busy going here and there and forgot to put ‘pub’ in my checklist while my stay there.

So, recently I went to Upperstar with a good friend of mine and instead of ordering the same classic sets of beer, I decided to go for a cocktail instead. The taste of Upperstar’s Singapore Sling cocktail is a mixture of sweet and bitter, with a little hint of sour, served in a tall glass filled with ice, it’s pinkish colour surely is appealing (taken to the fact that pink is my color =p) It’s refreshing and I was thinking to serve it during our coming annual big family gathering, so I went to Goggle to find it’s recipe. What I found is amazing…there are several different recipes for the same cocktail (with slight changes here and there) and I really felt like wanted to bang my head on the wall for not thinking of tasting the original Singapore Sling during my previous visit to Singapore.

(Singapore Sling was originally created by Mr. Ngiam Tong Boon for the Raffles Hotel in Singapore).

Here are the most common ingredients used to make the Singapore Sling:

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 oz gin
• 1 oz lemon juice
• 1/4 oz sugar syrup
• 1 1/2 tsp powdered sugar
• 2 oz club soda
• 1/2 oz cherry brandy
• lemon slice for garnish
• maraschino cherry for garnish

1. Pour the gin, lemon juice, sugar syrup and powdered sugar into a shaker with ice cubes.
2. Shake well.
3. Strain into a highball glass with ice cubes.
4. Pour in the club soda.
5. Float the cherry brandy on top by pouring it over the back of a bar spoon.
6. Garnish with the lemon slice and cherry

Bottom’s up, everyone! =)
