Life is Like a Boat

This song is one of the Bleach endings which is sang by Rie Fu and I find it quite meaningful. 

Nobody knows who I really amI 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 comin' and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you through another day

Tookude iki wo shiteru toumei ni nattamitai
Kurayami ni omoe takedo mekaku shisarete tadake
Inori wo sasagete atarashii hi wo matsu
Azayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made

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 utsuri yuku nukedashita kunaru
Tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de fune wo tsureteku

And every time I see your face, 
The oceans heave 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 tsudzuiteku odayakana hi mo
Tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de fune wo terashidasu
Inori wo sasagete atarashii hi wo matsu
Azayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made

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

Unmei no fune wo kogi
Nami wa tsugi kara tsugi e to
Watashitachi wo osou kedo
Sore mo suteki na tabi ne
Dore mo suteki na tabi ne

The english translation for it... 

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 comin' and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you through another day

Breathing in the distance 
As if I've become transparent
It seemed to be the dark
But I was merely blindfolded

I offer my prayers 
And wait for a new day
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

People's hearts move 
And want to slip out
The moon in its new cycle 
Brings along boats again

And every time I see your face,
The oceans heave 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

The journey is still continuing
On the calm days, too
The moon in its new cycle 
Begins to shine on boats again

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 oceans heave up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars,
And soon I can see the shore

Rowing the boat of destiny
The waves assault us
One after the next
But that's a wonderful journey, too
Any one of them is a wonderful journey

ARC

Just came back from Raleigh Asia Regional Conference yesterday. Because of that, I had a rockin' weekend. What was the most awesome thing is that I get to meet Raleigh-ians from Singapore, HK, UK, China, Sabah and also Phillipines. Through the conference, I get to know what these support group or base are doing in thier country. Being there is fun + cool + eye opening. I had fun staying there preparing for the ARC, helping out in clearing the place, being chased due to time constrain. XD Till now, I still have images in my head about the conference. My feelings cannot be expressed through mere words. I think some people who had been there would understand what I meant. ^^

Cheers!!

Nov Monthly Meet - Kayaking!!

As we are creeping into Nov, it means that Raleigh will be having their monthly meeting again. This month, we went kayaking at where the 'Eye of Malaysia' was. Yes, it is at Titiwangsa lake!! Never been there before... That was my first time there.... XD I must say that the Titiwangsa lake was quite a pleasant place despite the carnival and all the other ppl jogging there...

It was my first time kayaking too... Actually I had lots of first times in Raleigh.. ^^ People who is reading this should come and join in... Aiks... (SS-ing) Anyway.... kayaking was really fun, although my shoulder blades ache the next day (basketball 3 on 3 comp). I had one heck of an experience, like... carrying the heavy thing, kayaking in a lake full of algae, trying very hard to line up in one line in the kayak, ending up in a very nice curve ^^, getting splashed with paddles, drifting in the kayak, turning in circles, showing very weird ok signs, colliding with random kayaks, keeping this list going on... Asides from that, I am proud of myself cause my kayak did not capsize as a first timer... =) Though there were few occurances of near capsizing... Aiks...


Nov's Monthly meet, the unofficial launching of the new branding logo until ARC..

The old conventional Raleigh International blue logo...

The new Raleigh green logo...

Official Raleigh KL logo....

Don't the new logo looks good to you??? XD I personally like the new logo..

Everyone say ok!!!

Coming back to the monthly meet, the 3 teams from the Oct IW are having progress with their PIWP, which is good news!! One of them are even doing Zooriffic, I have yet to join one... =D Besides the PIWP coming up, there is also the Raleigh Asia Regional Conference which is going to be held on the 22nd & 23rd Nov at IYC, Cheras. There will be support groups from Sabah, Singapore, UK, HK, China coming to this event. Want to know more bout what is going on?? Log on to the official website www.raleighinternational.org.my or the Raleigh Blog.

Mechanical workshop RULEZ!!

As many of you might not know, I am currently studying Mechanical Engineering. Yes, you got me right... Mechanical Engineering.. HAHAHA!!!

Anyway, although some say it is tough but I think it is fun... No doubt it needs lots of understanding but, when it comes to the workshop, you will see it a different way.. ^^




Below is a series of pics (Courtesy to Mabel Kuan) taken after my first workshop!! I am very proud of what I did.. ^^














This is actually milled and drilled from an aluminum square block. Imagine a squarish thingy, which is not flat and not shiny has been made into something above..

COOL RIGHT!!! ^^

Cheers!

Busy!

I can actually anticipate that I will be really really busy for the coming month/weeks.... Assignments are starting to pile in and nearing the deadline.. Have to work on the stuff already... No more dota with Pei Wern, James, Gary, Wei Mein and gang already.. =( No more frequent late night mamak sessions........... That is so sad.. But what to do, study is more important lor..

Besides that, I still have frisbee, basketball, CF and Raleigh!!! Sounds unmanagable with the given workload already.. I believe in myself that I can cope with all of these, minus the constant nagging/reminder by mom to study despite of whatever I do.. >.<

Cheers! ^^

IW-ed

This is the second time for me staffing in a IW... This time I am no ordinary staff, I am the camp chief which I felt alot of pressure and stress throughout the whole camp. There are alot of responsibilities and alot of things to take charge in.. >.<

But in the end... the outcome of all the things were really really really AWESOME!!! Had lots of good feedback bout the food and the planning... ^^ I am really happy that the ppl are happy with the camp team this time... Really had lots of things to learn and had lots of fun!!!! I am really giving a heartfelt thank you too all the ppl who really helped out during the whole camp and made things as awesome as it can be!!!

Can't wait to go for the next IW!!!

Now we are waiting for the participants to come up with PIWP and see what they are up to.. Hope they come up with something good.. -winks-
