Trip
I am going to a two-day trip starting today and tomorrow in King city, Ontario. I got invited to join CVG 5 year stratigic planning:)I have never been in such big scale meeting before..I think it is a great experience, kind of remind me of the presidential messages and plans in Iran that was mostly was 5 years based;)..the funny thing is I am the youngest person there and every one else is about my dad's age!!it's funny it took a while to become friends with the president of this group. He is a quite person but at the same time he is active and reinforces his visions ofcourse with taking others input in also. Its exactly the story of the fox and Le Petit Prince in our case. He never talked to me, he would just look at me and listen but never a word, but I always greeted him and all but never he would respond. I got to the conclusion that he didn't like me for some reason that I didn't know. Although I was lucky to have the rest of the group that were very friendly with me and Steve who is sooooooo helpful and nice. Now to my suprise in the last gathering of CVG, he joined a small group of us who were talking and suddenly asked me, if I am going to go to the offsite meeting with them!!!!I was shocked and suprized, because he talked to me directly!! I knew of the meeting but I thought may be I shouldn't go, but he personally asking was astonishing!!!the guy who never talked back to me!!anyways I said, I haven't got the email and Steve jumped in and said that he will forward it to me:)..it was a very interesting situation..I think he is the only guy in my life that I have as in that book puts the expression:"ahli kardam"!!

Good Bye
Saying good bye is something I am worst at..no matter the situation I can't help not crying, Although I did my best not to cry when saying fair well to my labmates but I nearly cried in my supervisor's office when I went to give him a gift. I through a lunch good bye party for my lab and another supervisor's lab, which was great. Everything went as perfect as I expected because Shaing was helping me. It's amazing that when my supervisors both said that when they got asked, what my weakness was, they said that I was a hardworker!!that is exactly what I told them too..its funny..it seems that may be what I think about myself is really what others think about me too since its always a question mark whether I am who I think I am.But I couldn't help saying good bye to my supervisor..he told me not to be emotional and that he will always be there for me, and can drop and call him anytime..actually both supervisors said so, even one of them said that if you had any questions come back and we can solve it:) I can't put it into words...just to say that the past year with bio-composite group was the best experience I have had in my life so far...I got blessed to have so many compassionate and good friends and instructors that taught me so much from science to life and was with me through good times and bad times..through sad times and my exciting times. I will treasure those memories and wish them the best of luck in their life and hope that my new place has great people like my previous co-workers.

Everybody's fool- Evanescence
http://hands-down.net/evanescence/index.html
Amazing lyrics...right now..#1 on the chum chart..very interesting and bold song..a must see video while hearing the music.
Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled
Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
Oh how we love you
No flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
Without the mask where will you hide?
Can't find yourself, lost in your lie I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore
It never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
Somehow you've got everybody fooled
It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool

Beach
Yesterday with a group of my friends and I went to one of the beaches around Toronto. It was a great day. It has been ages since I have been to a beach..I think at least a year..it was really fun..it reminded me of the times when My family and Sina's family used to go to our villa in North of Iran..we used to dig holes every time we were at the shore..and some times make castles...it was funny we always wanted to go in a straight line from villa, but it was impossible because of the long long plants..we always used to go near to them some times a bit passed them..but never passed it compeltely..both scared of snakes and other "hiss" sounds coming from there;)..so everytime we would go back with our legs completely covered with dirt..and had to wash it..and never failed;)..I miss all our trips that we did..with all the adventures..in the dark jungles..and all our dreams of growing up when seeing all those teenagers..but I am blessed to be with my friends here to do all those things I once wished I would do when I was a kid..but I can't stop thinking thought, how it would be, going to our villa again, all of us...Sina, Maryam and her husband, Sahar and her fiance, Hamid and I..
After our nice beach trip, we went to one of our friend's apartment, It was on the fouteenth floor and a view like the one we used to have when we first came in Canada...I remembered..the times I would stand on the balcony for sometimes just looking blankly through this new city, that I was going to call my hometown..sometimes..thinking about nothing..somtimes..worrying..it's amazing how 7 years have passed..and so manythings have happened in this time and how I have changed since then..It's as if I was watching my life here on a movie theater..in a fast forward pasted in a few minutes while I was on our friend's balcony..Thank you God for every thing you have given me and for all the ones who I will be blessed later..I just want one thing from you...and that is to never ever let me be by my own...
