Walla from Trondheim :)

A beautiful week ahead expected! :) At least the sun's up longer these days.

 

Attended my first SGI group meeting in Trondheim, Norway. Met the other 4 members (Kristoffer, Jørgen, Nicholas and Yaeko).

Apparently Yaeko has been practising in Norway for over 20 years, chanting at her home alone all these while until Jørgen and a few others met her 6 years back. She was so excited to see the group movement growing at her place. Amazing hospitality from her, we were fed non-stop from the moment we arrived. Had great conversations with the rest with strong determination to keep the group movement growing steadily. There are approximately 10 members around this area and they have group meetings every alternate week and on Sundays they organize a discussion meet via Skype. Tremendous effort to keep the studies going. Adds to the reasons why there's so much learn and contribute; no time for hesitations.

Total (French oil company) had their presentation at NTNU today. Sounds like an amazing company to work for, HQ in Paris with plenty opportunity for international exposures. Was blown away by the buffet dinner prepared by the SPE board. Really impressive.

 

Off to bed, another victorious day awaits.

I never knew perfection til
I heard you speak, and now it kills me
Just to hear you say the simple things
Now waking up is hard to do
And sleeping is impossible too
Everything is reminding me of you
What can I do?

It’s not right, not OK
Say the words that you say
Maybe we’re better off this way?
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break…

A fool to let you slip away
I chase you just to hear you say
You’re scared and that you think that I’m insane

The city look so nice from here
Pity I can’t see it clearly
While you’re standing there, it disappears
It disappears

It’s not right, not OK
Say the word it should say

Maybe we’re better off this way?
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break

Saw you sitting all alone
You’re fragile and you’re cold, but that’s all right
Life these days is getting rough
They’ve knocked you down and beat you up
But it’s just a rollercoaster anyway, yeah

It’s not right, not OK
Say the words that you say
Maybe we’re better off this way?
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way?

I’m not fine, not OK
Say the words that you say
Maybe we’re better off this way?

I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break, baby
