Silbermond - Unendlich

Silbermond - Unendlich
Video sent by kanekiller666

Meine Augen suchen Wasser in der Wüste
Meine Füße tragen lange schon den Durst
Silbermond Ich bin gefallen und blieb liegen
Stand auf und wollte siegen
Unendlich Denn ich schmeck das Meer ist nicht mehr weit

Es ist schwer die Spur im Sand zu finden
Songtexte Denn Staub und Sturm stehlen mir die Sicht
Doch wie ein warmer Sommerregen
Songtext Regnest du auf mein Leben wie ein Herr aus Tropfen auf den heißen Stein
Lyrics
Refrain:
Und wir war’n unendlich
Und das Wasser legte sich auf uns’re Haut
Lyric Um uns alles vergänglich
Das behalten wir für uns und den Tag tragen wir bis ins Grab
Liedertexte
Für den Augenblick hielten wir die Luft an
Und zusammen tauchten wir bis auf den Grund
Liedertext Wir ließen uns treiben mit dem Strom der Gezeiten
Alle Wir strandeten, sind angekommen

Refrain:
Und wir war’n unendlich
Denn das Wasser legte sich auf uns’re Haut
Silbermond Um uns alles vergänglich
Das behalten wir für uns und den Tag tragen wir bis ins Grab
Unendlich
Es ist schwer den Weg im Sand zu finden
Denn Staub und Sturm stehlen dir die Sicht
Songtexte Doch jeder braucht den Sommerregen
Was wäre ohne ihn das Leben
Songtext Jeder brauch ein Stück Unendlichkeit

Refrain:
Und wir war’n unendlich
Lyrics Denn das Wasser legte sich auf uns’re Haut
Um uns alles vergänglich
Lyric Das behalten wir für uns und den Tag tragen wir bis ins Grab

traduction all/fr que du refrain jai pas trouvé la traduction de tout

unendlich = Sans Fin

[Refrain : ] [Refrain : ]
Und wir waren unendlich Et nous étions infinis
Und das Wasser legte sich auf unsre Haut Et l'eau s'est mise sur notre peau
Um uns alles vergänglich Autour de nous tout a pérri
Das behalten wir für uns Le souvenir des jours
Und den Tag tragen wir bis ins Grab Que nous portons est dans la tombe

Stand up Comedy by NYC Comedians

Went to the comedy lounge featuring 2 comedians-Jesse Joyce and Keith Alberstadt from NYC at Bar Savahn Too, Mont Kiara on 8 July.

These 2 guys are hilarious. Started off by Keith and followed by Jesse and ended up by Douglas Lim. Keith joked about himself having a bald head and being a single guy, Malaysian ringgit, how hard asian man to get a white gal in United States (due to asian man has smaller penis*fr. his statement no offence), about China, about 'bu yao' (means don't want), about places and people from his experience.

Jesse Joyce's jokes are quite amusing with a lot of expression and joked about himself look like a drug addict. A runaway hit stand up comedian on the club stages of New York and has been making a name for himself in cities and countries as one of the hottest young comics working today. He has been seen as the host of AMC's Date Night, as well as appearing on Entertainment Tonight, and Lifetime. For the better part of 2003, he was brought on as the head writer for a fledgling comedy cable network called Jokevision by the producers of The Food Network. He wrote, sold and shot a pilot for Jokevision entitled Stop me if You've Heard This which you will probably never see until an E! True Hollywood Story comes out about his sordid past. In 2001 he received 2 American Advertising Awards (ADDYs) for his writing. Jesse has entertained audiences all over the U.S., Canada, Ireland and Switzerland where he has appointed himself The Father of Swiss Comedy, as he's the only comedian hes ever heard of performing in Switzerland.


Proudly our local comedian, Douglas Lim remixed a song of our fuel price hikes and it was very entertaining. We felt for the lyrics so right. *applause given*

The crowd of the night turned up quite well. Heard all the tickets sold out. Except for the bottle we had on the table, I think Wern Shern and his friend whack all as we all left.

As NewMan is the official media for this event, we will feature the exclusive interview with these comedian in our next issue. Get one copy~

DKNY introducing new fragrance Delicious Night

Inhale. You’re seductive. You’re mysterious. You’re irresistible. Your aroma is alluring.
The night has begun. The city awaits you.
You are ready to discover the secrets of night.
And you need one more thing to spice up your night.
DKNY fragrance “Delicious Night” that’s like night itself, the scent is mysterious, mesmerizing and provocative. Ultimately, you are the limelight of the night.


Delicious night opens with a cocktail of frozen Pomelo, stirred with crushed ginger and a chilled blackberry martini accord. Electric sparks of silky purple freesia add a flask of pulsating light and energy. The soul of the scent has a voluminous bouquet of night blooming orchids, satin jasmine petals and purple iris. Molten Amber simmers, while the intrigue heightens with a fusion of jet black incense and myrrh extract, and the energetic heart of patchouli, amplified with velvet vetiver. The result is a thoroughly unique sensory nocturnal adventure just waiting to unfold.

The New Iconic Lot 10

Once upon a time, we used to call our friend and said hey, let's go to Lot 10 for shopping! We used to feel that's the most happening place to hang out. However now we would say hey,meet at One U! hey go to Pavilion! hey see you in the Gardens/mid valley! More and more grand shopping centre opened and extended their wing named it "new wing" became our word of mouth when meeting up with somebody. New one came, old ones sooner be forgotten. Human seek for excitement and something fresh. Among shopping centres are at a stake in competitive business nevertheless consumers would enjoy more choices of place to go. Malaysian especially in KL,shopping is one of the necessary leisure activity!

Refreshing the facts, Lot 10 is the first upmarket shopping centre in KL that was build in the late 1980s when Malaysian economy was started to boom then. Hence, not suprising that its interior is lavishly styled. It was renovated and upgraded in the 1990s to be on par with other newer upmarket shopping centres in KL. And now on 27 June 2008, Lot 10 undergo a re-branding and re-positioning exercise that is set to infuse the shopping centre to be an icon of urban lifestyle, shopping and entertainment by YTL Corporation with a significant exterior and interior enhancements of the façade.

One of the enhancements is a Double Volume Frontage which ensures a wider and eye-catching windows displays for leading fashion and lifestyle brands. Another is the exciting Roof Top hangout offering a kaleidoscopic view of the city for happening parties featuring concept restaurants and trendy bars, designer clubs and a spanking new California Fitness gym. The transformation of the design and architecture of the roof top acknowledged by the world famous architect, Yuhkichi Kawai of Super Potatoes in Japan. Foreseeing another place for young and hip crowd.

Other attraction to check out is Jackie Chan's Cafe, the second outlet in Lot 10. (Starhill Gallery is the first). Be thrilled to discover new brands added to the existing list of stores and the largest Machine store in KL, Apple Premium Lifestyle Store across 2 stories.

The launch party at the roof top was awesome and fun! Entertained by Fashion Shows (KooKai, Guess, Kwan, Zang Toi), DJ Spin (DJ Ali B & DJ Chinois), free flow of booze and tidbits and the crowd was hyped up by models, celebrities, and party people. I was enjoying myself with familiar faces, friends and ex-colleagues. Happily, took quite some photos at the event.

Volvo Launch New Sporty C30 Coupe

Well-known for safety in automobile industry, Volvo re-brands its image with the iconic 2-door sporty coupe, the Volvo C30.

The C30 targeting young active urbanites whose lifestyle is to work hard and play hard.

“And being a Volvo, it contains Volvo’s leading traits of safety, ergonomics, form and function - plus a whole lot of excitement thrown in. With the C30, people will see Volvo differently,” said Mr. Robert Norrman, President of Volvo Car Malaysia.


• The high-style interior is Scandinavian influenced, for drivers who enjoy visual clean modern lines. Its simplicity is classic. Comfort is guaranteed. The bucket seats are all highly adjustable, through power automatic levers. Fabric selection for the seats has been top-class and no expense has been spared to ensure luxury.
• The C30 not only looks dynamic, it lives up to its promise under the hood. The fully imported 2.4i litre gives out 170 horsepower at 6,000rpm from an inline-5 cylinder engine that produces 230Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm.
• The C30 has a top speed of 215 km/h and goes from 0-100km/h in 8.8 seconds.
• The 5-speed geartronic automatic transmission provides a drive that is both smooth and responsive. It harmonises perfectly for the C30 driver and allows a fully-automatic comfort drive or a manual mode for greater active driving pleasure.
• The Volvo C30 is sold at RM215,500 (On-the-road without insurance).


No doubt it's a good car. But for current market where the petrol price has increased drastically and the increase of interest rate in like 2 weeks time... I doubt people can afford to buy one instead of saving up the money to drive a budget small car.

We are all spiritual creatures

Human beings are essentially spiritual creatures because we are driven by a need to ask fundamental or ultimate questions.

Why was I born?
What is the meaning of life?
Why should I go on when I am tired, or depressed or feel weary?
What makes it all worth while?

Some people are driven to ask themselves all sort of questions whereas some don't. The rise of need for meaning gives rise to imagination and to the extraordinary growth of the human brain. And that's why some people are smart and some people are dumb.

Spiritual Intelligence helps us to forge new paths, to find some fresh expression of meaning, something that touches us and that can guide us from within.

Spiritual Intelligence is the intelligence that rests in that deep part of the self that is connected to wisdom from beyond the ego, or conscious mind with which we not only recognize existing values but with which we creatively discover new values.

Most of the time in life we are being told what to do by others and dependent upon the reaction and opinion of others. And it could be wrong or not what your heart feel it should be. All these years, I am struggling to form myself. I don't like to be questioned, to be controlled and to be underestimated because I want to be a true individual, I know who I am and what I believe. And I hope the rest of you will find your true self and lead your own life.

Don't impose on me what you know,
I want to explore the unknown
and be the source of my own discoveries.
Let the known be my liberation, not my slavery.

The world of your truth can be my limitation;
your wisdom my negation.
Don't instruct me; let's walk together.
Let my richness begin where yours ends.

Show me so that I can stand on your shoulders.
Reveal yourself so that I can be something different.

You believe that every human being can love and create.
I understand, then, your fear
when I ask you to live according to your wisdom.

You will not know who I am by listening to yourself.
Don't instruct me; let me be.
Your failure is that I be identical to you.
