Welcome 2007

Tomorrow is going to be the start of a new school session. Sometimes I dreaded of the thought of going back to school. The pressure to make the best of your students no matter how unteacheables they are. The expectations from the parents, teachers, students and ...

Anyway yesterday i was blogging halfway when my laptop suddenly went blank. So have to continue today. Was blogging about the old year and the resolution for the new year. Many things had happened, some good and not so good. Few songs flowed into my mind at this time. One is the Auld Lang Syne.

In any case, it is one of the best known songs in English-speaking countries, and it is often sung at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day. Like many other frequently sung songs, the melody is better remembered than the words, which are often sung incorrectly, and seldom in full.

The song is commonly accompanied by a traditional dance. The group who are singing form a ring holding hands for the first verse. For the second verse, arms are crossed and again linked. For the third verse everyone moves in to the centre of the ring and then out again. Not that I know how to...:) Just something I got from wikipedia. Here's the lyrics for the song:

Auld Lang Syne

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne ?

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my dear,

for auld lang syne,

we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.

And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
And surely I’ll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have run about the hills,
and pulled the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine (dinner time) ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.

CHORUS

Went for countdown at the Sibu Gateway with my mom and cousins family on the 31st. Nothing much except scores of people and a few fireworks. Of course a few speeches which I doubt anyone listen to. Definately not me.
