Official video FIFA World Cup 2010: K'naan Wavin' Flag

This song was chosen as Coca-Cola's promotional anthem for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

Lyrics:
When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back

Born to a throne
Stronger than Rome
But violent prone
Poor people zone
But its my home
All I have known
Where I got grown
Streets we would roam
Out of the darkness
I came the farthest
Among the hardest
Survival

Learned from these streets
It can be bleak
Accept no defeat
Surrender, retreat

So we struggling
Fighting to eat
And we wondering
When we'll be free
So we patiently wait
For that fateful day
It's not far away
But for now, we say

When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back

So many wars
Settling scores
Bringing us promises
Leaving us poor

I heard them say
Love is the way
Love is the answer
That's what they say

But look how they treat us
Make us believers
We fight their battles
Then they deceive us

Try to control us
They couldn't hold us
But we just move forward
Like Buffalo Soldiers

But we struggling
Fighting to eat
And we wondering
When we'll be free

So we patiently wait
For that fateful day
It's not far away
But for now we say

When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes...

When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back

And then it goes...

And then it goes...

And everybody will be singing it...

And you and I will be singing it...

And we all will be singing it...

When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back

And then it goes

When I get older
I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom
Just like a wavin' flag

And then it goes back
And then it goes back
And then it goes back

When I get older...

When I get older...

I will be stronger...

Just like a wavin' flag...
Just like a wavin' flag...
Just like a wavin' flag...

Flag...
Flag...

Just like a wavin' flag...

En las calles muchas manos levantadas celebrando
Una fiesta sin descansó los países como hermanos

Canta y une tu voz grita fuerte que te escuche el sol
El partido ya va a comenzar, todos juntos vamos a ganar
Unidos!!

Seremos grandes seremos fuertes
somos un pueblo bandera de libertad
!!!que viene y que va, que viene que va!!!

They will call me freedom, just like the waving flag.
Now waving your flag X6 oh ho oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Danos vida danos fuego que nos lleve a lo alto
Campeones o vencidos pero unidos a intentarlos

In the streets are hands and lifting
As we lose our inhibitions
Celebration is around us, every nation all around us.

Singing forever young, singing songs underneath the sun !
Lets rejoice to the beautiful game
And together at the end of the day

와!! 나의 제일 좋아한 계절 또 왔다…

오래기다리다가 마지막으로 내가제일 좋아하는 계절, 봄이 또 왔어요. 힘든 겨울이 지나가지만 여름은 아직 멀어요. 밖에 꽃 만발하는것을 보니 마음이 너무 기뻐요. 이 계절은 우리 대학교 도 공원 처럼 아주 예쁘고 유쾌해저요.

우리대학교가 1 년에 딱한번만 이렇게, 여쁘게 보여요. 사랑하는 사람들이 너무 좋아하는 이 계절을 마음에 안들하는 사람은 없을것 같아요.

Nature of Australia

I have taken these photos in Melbourne, Australia. This is near by Glenory (Suburub) behind my friend’s residence. All the photos are taken by using FujiFilm FinePix S5800 camera.

This photo is taken by Anand Sharma. All other, except this, photos are taken by me.

A trip to Australia

It’s always easy to be with friend in foreign country, especially when you have a friend who is already established in that country. This year I traveled Australia. A friend of mine, Anand, is living there with his family. I didn’t feel any difficulties from the airport to the airport. He came to pick me up in the airport with his car and we traveled a lot in CBD and suburbs. I lived in his place for five days and four nights.

I felt home away from home. I ate Gundruk and Sadheko Sukuti that I was missing since I left Kathmandu. I even got a chance to eat Thai version of Wai Wai.

Melbourne is beautiful. Over the years I’ve been experiencing high raised apartments and big buildings. But, in Melbourne houses are only one floor in suburbs, most of houses have small front and back yard. Melbourne has a small CBD and that is full of Asians, Indians, and even Nepalese. I saw many Nepalese in Federation square chatting and surfing internet. I even saw the Nepalese sleeping all over the day beside the street in a floating boat.

I was in the 60th floor of 63 building in Seoul, but this time I experienced Eureka Tower, a 300 meter skyscraper in Melbourne. It costs $16 to go to 88th floor. It has 91 floors and top 10 floors’ windows are 24 carat gold plated glasses. This is the world’s tallest residential building.

A day in Singapore with Chinese friend

Regardless of work area, I am more in touch with people from my own geographical region. However, I have many friends from many countries. I could say from all the continents where ever people live. 

Near the City Hall in Singapore

This time I got a chance to spend one day (in 2009-02-11) in Singapore with a friend who is a friend of mine in my university. Jin Cheng, a Chinese friend who is pursuing PhD in NTU, one of the best universities in Singapore. He is working in microwave circuit design under the Indian professor who has graduated from IIT. 

Mr. Cheng came to meet me in the Changi airport. No doubt, he is excellent in Chinese which is a well known language in Singapore and around 70% of people are ethical Chinese. Since the very beginning, I heard that it’s not good to do shopping without Chinese fellow in Singapore. I had nothing much to buy but a dual SIM (GSM + CDMA) cell phone for my brother who is working in a telecom company and fan of cell phones, keeps 2 cell phones – CDMA and GSM. I tried to get such a phone in Singapore’s best electronics shopping mall called Lucky Plaza. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find such a phone. Yes, I found one by Samsung company but that had dual SIM slot but both for GSM. I had a bitter experience of hunting phone in several outlets. I also tried in Motorolla’s stall, just front of the gate in the first floor, but the sales person said it’s not possible to buy CDMA in Singapore, coz. in Singapore, they have only GSM network. I surprised, although Singapore is a hub for shopping in Asia, especially for electronics gadgets. I decided to give up and hangout around rather than finding camera and I did the same. I visited China town, City hall, Merlion (mascot of Singapore), The Civilian War Memorial (dedicated to the civilians who lost their lives in the World War II, during the Japanese occupation) etc.

Although, it was short stay, it was a great lifetime experience to me. Thank you Mr. Cheng for being all the time to walk around Singapore.

Lab MT - Falling down more than 20 times while learning ski

Day before yesterday I went to ski with entire members of our lab to a ski resort called Oak Valley. We skied for 8 hours including night skiing. Now I am feeling pain all over my body. I fall down more than 20 times. By mistake, I didn’t lock my shoes, so it’s slightly loose that is the reason why I fall down several times. However, it’s a nice experience. I enjoyed a lot. I am worried now not because I have pain in my body but I have to go to Australia for presentation, I didn't prepare for my presentation.

Expensive NEPAL

Today, I found a product named Nepal EVO GTX in Korean ebusiness site. I surprised with the price 785,000, even a discount price is 700,000 Korean won (around 500 USD or NRs 40,000). According to the manufacturer LA Sportiva, it’s the best leather mountaineering boot on the market. The Nepal last offers an excellent fit for any foot and is easily adjustable with the removable/adjustable tongue. It’s around 1 KG.

Because of few reasons I am particularly interested in it. One is I like adventure and recently I am going to skiing. Another is, the name of the shoes is Nepal, the name of my country.Finally, the shoes is looks like very durable and comfortable.
