I'm a certified multi-tasker. I really am. =)

I'm having my dinner/watching Bleach/watching Hana Yori Dango(Jap)/watching a Rie Fu TV show/doing my project transcript/chatting online/blogging all at the same time. Told ya' I'm a certified multi-tasker.

Finally I'm down to one assignment and one project so far, haha I'm not so sure about the future. Anyways, next week's my e-Learning week! Haha e-Learning week is all bullshit, I bet even the Profs think it's a load of crap, it's just a convenient and official-sounding excuse to slack a lil', haha not that I've got anything to complain about. =)

I'll be praying for Shing that she gets the job at UOB! Pleaseeee Tim Tim say YESSS! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Shing no worries ;)

I'm watching Bleach recently, and it's one smashing anime, and through Bleach I got introduced to an ultra talented singer from Japan named Rie Fu. Her music's so cool, her voice's out-of-this-world. You know what? I think I'm gonna add her to my idol list. =) Watch this music video of "Life Is Like A Boat" by Rie Fu.

This song's really touching for me, helps to calm you down and push you along when you're going through a tough time, or when things just aren't gonna go your way. I guess at times like this, it'll really help to just let go of things for a moment and slow down your pace before moving on again. That's how life is sometimes isn't it? Sometimes things just aren't gonna work out no matter how much effort you've put in, so like the lyrics in the song, just learn to let go, relax and let the waves push you on, somehow someway you're still gonna get to your final destination cus' you know you'll always your family and friends to get you through even the fiercest of all storms.

"Life Is Like A Boat" Lyrics

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along,
Who's gonna comfort me, and keep me strong?

We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on coming and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you through another day

tooku de iki o shiteru toomei ni natta mitai
(I'm breathing in a faraway place, it seems like I've become transparent)

kurayami ni omoe dakedo mekaku shisareteta dake
(It seemed to be the dark, but I was merely blindfolded)

inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu
asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made
(Offering a prayer, I wait for a new day to come
To the end of the sea that shines vividly)

Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don't give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you would follow me, and keep me strong

hito no kokoro wa utsuriyuku
nukedashitaku naru
(people's hearts shift and change, wanting to slip out)

tsuki wa mada atarashii shuuki de fune o tsureteku
(The moon still keeps bringing in the boat with each new phase)

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars,
and soon I can see the shore

Oh, I can see the shore
When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I'd feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along,
I will follow you, and keep you strong

tabi wa mada tsuzuiteku odayakana hi mo
tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de ume o terashidasu
(The journey is still continuing, on the calmdays, too
The moon in it's new cycle begins to shine on boats again)

inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu
asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made
(I offer my prayers and wait for a new day
To the end of the sea that shines vividly)

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

unmei no fune o kogi nami wa tsugi kara
tsugi e to watashi-tachi o shou kedo
sore mo suteki na tabi ne dore mo suteki
na tabi ne
(We are all rowing the boat of fate, the waves keep on coming and we can't escape
That too is a beautiful journey, isn't it? Any of them is a beautiful journey, isn't it?)

I'm already a fan of Rie Fu =) Waiting for Tiss to come online to send me all of Rie's songs.

For now, I'm gonna dive back into my project. It's all gonna be over. Soon. For Sure. =)
