When You say nothing at all

Our Song :)



It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing

[CHORUS:]
The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all

All day long
I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
(The crowd)
Try as they may
They could never define
What's been said
Between your
Heart and mine

[Repeat chorus twice]

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me

[Repeat chorus]

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

Tea tea tea. sri lankans love our TEA


came across this meme on Facebook. Wanted to blog about Tea :) We are so picky about our tea, and believe that each cup of tea has its own taste, making it unique... Yep, tea is not trivial in Sri Lanka, we treat it very seriously... Something didn't stop me there, spent a few mins on Google for fact finding... 


then came across professional tea preparation instructions on wiki (yep, this is so nerdy)

Did you know?

I am in China now so, "If you find yourself gasping for a good cup of tea in China, just ask for: ?"






Did you know?
Two Chinese pronunciations for ‘tea’ have found their way into other languages. ‘T’ comes from the Hokkien Chinese dialect, while the Cantonese ‘ch' has morphed into ‘char’ in English.






Did you know?

In North and West Africa, you often see tea being poured high above the cup. This can be to oxidise the tea and refine its flavour. Or for that matter to cool the tea down so they can drink it right away.



Did you know?

In Mali ‘gunpowder tea’ is served in three stages. The first, invitingly called ‘bitter as death’, is strong and unsweetened and made from fresh leaves. Then comes ‘pleasant as life’ when the same leaves re-boiled with some sugar. Then the leaves are boiled yet again with more sugar to serve up the final ‘sweet as love’ stage.









Did you know?

Tea is good for your teeth. It’s a natural source of fluoride that can help protect against tooth decay and gum disease.



Did you know?

In Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia, they enjoy ‘teh tarik’ tea. They add condensed milk to black tea, pour it from high above, and create a milky frothy head.









Did you know?

There are approximately 1,500 different varieties of tea.



Did you know?

98% of people take their tea with milk, but only 30% add sugar.
