In Montreal
I arrived yesterday. The journey was long, 6 hrs from Jeddah to London, 4 hrs transit in London- Heathrow, and about 7 hrs London to Montrأ©al. Had many naps in AirCanada flight (London-Montreal) to shorten the feeling of the long trip but it didnt work! I arrived there at 12:30pm Montreal time (about 7:30 pm Saudi time)
The time took me to get my Study Permit, baggage and get out from the airport was short.
Then I took a taxi and reached the Double R&T family house about 2:00pm (btw, Double RT your house is really beautiful ma sha allah). I ll be staying at them now until I find a suitable accommodation. I am not sure whether I should take a studio (1 room with kitchen and bathroom) or a bigger apartment and share it with someone.
Then my friend KSY came over and we went to meet another KFUPMian graduate (NA) who is studying at McGill. They claim that the three of us are the only students from KFUPM who are studying at McGill. The other KFUPM graduates don’t get accepted here and go to Concordia or Waterloo!!
I ll have to go now. I am going to the mall with Rn&T and the Rn Parents.

Walk Away
Been holding back for years
There's a mountain so high i need to climb
To wipe away the fears
Solitude and loneliness have been a friend of mine
As i'm turning my back on emptiness
I leave them all behind
Who knows just where i'm going
Does tomorrow belong to me
Walk away this time with my head up high
Walk away just me and myself
Walk away with pride
Nothing left to hide
But it just feels right to be one
And just walk away
I could never forget how hard I tried
When we were oh so young
Just one tender moment I cannot find
Maybe I had none
Strength will be by my side
Although I feel afraid
But I know it's too late for this goodbye
There's nothing left to say
Who knows just where I'm going
Does tomorrow belong to me
Walk away this time with my head up high
Walk away just me and myself
Walk away with pride
Nothing left to hide
But it just feels right to be one
And just walk away this time
One day you'll realise
That the tears you saw in my eyes
Won't be there forever

Immortality
and this is all I know
and I must choose to live
for all that I can give
the spark that makes the power grow
And I will stand for my dream if I can
symbol of my faith in who I am
but you are my only
and I must follow on the road that lies ahead
and I won't let my heart control my head
but you are my only
and we don't say goodbye
we don`t say goodbye
and I know what I've got to be
Immortality
I make my journey through eternity
I keep the memory of you and me inside
Fulfill your destiny
is there within the child
my storm will never end
my fate is on the wind
the king of hearts, the joker's wild
we don't say goodbye
we don`t say goodbye
I'll make them all remember me
Cause I have found a dream that must come true
every ounce of me must see it through
but you are my only
I'm sorry I don't have a role for love to play
hand over my heart I'll find my way
I will make them give to me
Immortality
there is a vision and a fire in me
I keep the memory of you and me inside
and we don't say goodbye
we don`t say goodbye
with all my love for you
and what else we may do
we don't say goodbye

هل ترانا نلتقي?
If you can not read this post, click on View->Encoding->Arabic (Windows) .
هل ترانا نلتقي أم أنها .... كانت اللقيا على أرض السراب
ثم ولت وتلاشى ظلها .... واستحالت ذكريات للعذاب
هكذا أسأل قلبي كلما .... طالت الأيام من بعد الغياب
فإذا طيفك يرنو باسما .... وكأني في استماع للجواب
أولم نمضي على الحق معا .... كي يعود الخير للأرض اليباب
فمضينا في طريق شائك .... ما تخلى فيه عن كل الرغاب
ودفنا الشوق في أعماقنا .... ومضينا في رضاء واحتساب
قد تعاهدنا على السير معا .... ثم أعجلت مجيباً للذهاب
حين ناداني رب منعم .... لي حياة في جنان ورحاب
ولقاء في نعيم دائم .... في جنود الله مرحا للصحاب
قدموا الأرواح والعمر فدا .... مستجيبين على غير ارتياب
فليعد قلبك من غفلاته .... فلقاء الخلد في تلك الرحاب
أيها الراحل عذراً في شكاتي .... فإلى طيفك أناتٌ عتاب
قد تركت القلب يدمي مثقلا .... تائهاً في الليل في عمق الضباب
وإذا أطوي وحيداً حائرا .... أقطع الدرب طويلاً في اكتئاب
وإذا الليل خضم موحش .... تتلاقى فيه أمواج العذاب
لم يعد يبرق في ليلي سنا .... قد توارت كل أنوار الشهاب
غير أني سوف أمضي مثلما .... كنت تلقاني في وجه الصعاب
سوف يمضي الرأس مرفوعاً فلا .... يرتضي ضعفاً بقول أو جوابي
سوف تحدوني دماء عابقات .... قد أنارت كل فجٍ للذهاب
