Andromeda

Hjärtat blir aldrig fullt
En livstid ska få plats där
Allt det här och mer
Det vi förlorade det vi vann

Och om hjärtat aldrig blir fullt
Om allt det där dom sa är sant
Så måste samma sak
Kunna gälla för ett helt land

Från mitt sovrumsfönster hör jag klockorna som ringer
Nånting börjar nåt tar slut
I mitt liv står det still
Hur jag än springer

Mitt hjärta är ditt land nu
Inget är förbjudet här
inga gränser ingen mur
Ser du ljuset från Andromeda

Vi var kids (just kids)
Vi var småbarn
Vi var kids (just kids)
I en spökstad
Vi var kaos (växte upp)
Utan ansvar
Vi förstörde (vårt liv)
Med vår vänskap
Men jag ångrar ingenting av det vi gjorde
Du kan komma dit du vill om du tror på det
Varje tanke varje dröm varje hjärtslag
Kommer eka mycket högre i en död stad

Hjärtat blir aldrig fullt
Även om det går i tusen bitar
Jag kan göra plats
Om du kan tänka dig att dela

Vi kan fira ännu en jul nu
Vi kan längta efter snön som föll i landet som försvann
Under ljuset från Andromeda

Vi var kids (just kids)
Vi var småbarn
Vi var kids (just kids)
I en spökstad
Vi var kaos (växte upp)
Utan ansvar
Vi förstörde (vårt liv)
Med vår vänskap
Men jag ångrar ingenting av det vi gjorde
Du kan komma dit du vill om du tror på det
Varje tanke varje dröm varje hjärtslag
Kommer eka mycket högre i en död stad

Säg vad tänker du på?
Jag vet hur långt du kan gå
Som ljuset från Andromeda

Vi var kids (just kids)
Vi var småbarn
Vi var kids (just kids)
I en spökstad
Vi var kaos (växte upp)
Utan ansvar
Vi förstörde (vårt liv)
Med vår vänskap
Men jag ångrar ingenting av det vi gjorde
Du kan komma dit du vill om du tror på det
Varje tanke varje dröm varje hjärtslag
Kommer eka mycket högre i en död stad

Dyra tårar feat. Isabelle

Here's a new song by Swedish Albin. I have started to follow his music more and more.
I think it's fun to listen to more Swedish.
For some reason, Albin's songs takes me back to my early teens XD

Monica Z

I finally got to see this movie everybody is talking about. I didnt really know a lot about Monica as her prime time on stage was way before my time.
Oh well... it was interesting to see, however I do believe I was maybe a bit too young to understand everything. So that's also why I didn't get the wow feeling I thought I was gonna get from watching it. And maybe it was also because I had higher expectations. Anyway my parents on the other hand, whom I watched it with, could understand a lot more. So they appreciated it a lot more!
But in all, a good movie, however if I could mention something bad about it... then it would be when it came to a few expressions in Swedish, they had made some mistakes here and there. E.g back in the 60's you'd never use "You" to a Doctor!!

Tyskungen

Last weekend I finally had time to watch this Swedish movie.
It was a bit complicated because this is from a series and I have seen later movies before so it felt like I was watching in reverse ^^
Anyway, it was an overall good movie. I'll probably try to watch the rest as well! ^^

Title: Tyskungen (The hidden child)
Premiere 28 June 2013
Run time 105 min
Language: Swedish

Story
This is regarded as one of the more plot-driven novels in the series, with more emphasis on the story. Erika wants to write a 'great book' so Patrik goes on paternity leave to look after the baby whilst this occurs, then unexplained things start to happen: an elderly neighbour is found dead – not just that, but he has been dead for some time. What's more, this man knew Erika's late mother. Erika consults a local World War II historian, however, shortly after her visit, he is brutally murdered and it becomes clear that the past is still very much a part of some people's lives. The plot focuses on the discovery of a child's blood-spattered vest plus other memorabilia. Who would murder so cold-bloodedly to bury secrets so ancient? By way of a side-theme Melberg adopts a stray dog, finding that this leads to a meeting with another dog-owner who happens to be the mother of his new detective, Paula Morales; this provides a counterpoint to the increasingly sordid facts being unearthed in the search for the murderer.

What's going on?!

I wonder why, why are Swedish students so bad at grammar?

When I was studying in Canada it said "the student need to keep to level of correct English".. or something like that.

But after reading a lot these days it seems like in Sweden it doesn't matter as long as you understand.

Which I think is kinda true, still it's bad!!

These days students use English so much they forget their mother tongue.

I wonder what will happen to Swedish...it's just getting worse and worse....

Swedish language ^^

There's this saying about some Swedes, they speak very few words... and here's proof!

Better in Korean than Swedish!

So a few weeks has passed since I got my Samsung Galaxy S2 and I have played with it alot.
I've several of applications and it has been very fun to explore it.
And I have now realised it's better to use it in Korean language instead of Swedish.

Reason: The Swedish translation in some of the apps are weird!
At first I thought I was the wrong one but after changing for fun to Korean langauge I realised it's the translation. Most of the "in built" apps/software are connected to Korea, since Samsung is Korean.
However I do think some people won't care or mind it but for me knowing both languages it doesn't matter in what language I use it.

Also after changing to Korean langauge most of the apps, such as kakaotalk, facebook and twitter automatically changed into Korean language ^^
Before I only wanted to change Kakaotalk into Korean but it didn't work, until I changed the whole settings!!


So... for others, if you do mind the typo/errors I'd advice you to change the language settings!
Maybe not to Korean... but English? ^^



Also I love the easy way to change keyboards.. now I can easily change between Swedish, English, Korean and Japanese.
And I love all the smileys that comes with the Japanese keyboard. I just wish I could have a full Japanese one with all the cute "moving" smileys
