I cannot imagine the stress that I am currently undergoing...

The first day of IA was a drag... Having spent the morning taking photo, signing some admin papers, sitting through briefings to introduce IA students on the system of the company and waiting for nothing, I was almost bored to tears... Lunch hours came and flied to push me into another sleeping period... A long and without-break-in-between safety training... Trying to keep oneself awake so as not to fail the test at the end of the lecture was indeed a torture... Yeah... I had to sit for a test on the very first day!! But the stupid thing was that the test turned out to be open-book... All answers were found in the lecture notes provided... Should had just slept through the entire training... Haiz~

Meeting the supervisor by the end of the day totally ruined the atmosphere... He seemed liked one with high expectations... Though he appeared to be very busy and really had phone-phobia... I mean it... He is one who would never call his IA students despite the voice messages left (except on one occasion where I left a hand-written note on his desk)... He did not even bothered to show me around the labs or explain anything, and had thrashed one of the other lucky student to his colleague... Leaving me stuck with him... I hate talking to him... As awkward moments would be expected... He never complete his thoughts within a sentence... And I had to try to figure out what he is exactly trying to say... The uncomfortable short meetings with him never fail to freak me out...

Right now, the job he had assigned to me was doing literature review for two weeks... But the bad news is that I had to come up with some design for a micropump to be integrated with the existing equipment... How the hell am I to design something so complicated in a short two weeks period?? Hope that I would manage to draw something to present to him...

With such a lousy head-start on IA, I can predict that my stay is going to be really rough... Serve me right, right??

ps: I am clueless as to what to do with the logbook... Someone please help!!

Tsukikage kooru daichi o
Korogari fumiwakete yuku
Horobi to saisei no jidai ga hajimaru
I tumble and push through
The earth that the moonlight freezes
The era of destruction and resurrection begins

Jiyuu o omoku kakagete
Michinaki michi o erande
Mahiru yori mabushii nichibotsu o koete
Heavily hoisting freedom
Choosing a pathless path
Overcoming the sunset that is brighter than midday

Yume o kataru you ni toki no fune wa yuku
Sono yamiji no mukou ni atarashii yoake
The boat of time sails as if telling a dream
Across the dark road, there’s a new dawn

Bokura wa kitto kurayami no kaina kara umarete kita
Kanawanu koi o suru you ni
Hikari e to samayotteku
Doko made mo hateshi no nai kono michi o
Kaeru sube wa nai
We were certainly born from the arms of darkness
We’re wandering toward the light
As if falling in unfulfilled love
We don’t have a way to return
On this forever endless path

Ikinuku koto ni tomadoi
Shi ni yuku koto ni obiete
Bokura no kokyuu ni wa kanashimi ga yadoru
We’re confused about surviving
Scared about our impending death
And sorrow dwells in our breathing

Sakebi wa kodoku ni usete
Namida no shizuku o susuri
Dare mo ga hitori-kiri kouya o sasurau
A shout fades into loneliness
Sipping up the drops of tears
Everyone roams through the wilderness all alone

Are wa tsuki no yume ka Shiroku hikaru hana
Keburu oka no kanata Kirameki temaneku
Is that the moon’s dream? The flower that shines white
At the far side of the hazy hill, a brilliance beckons

Mune ni hibiku yuukyuu no ongaku ni mimi o sumase
Kaze ni madou suna no you ni
Setsuna e to kieusete mo
Doko made mo hateshi no nai kono michi o
Kouya no mukou e
Even if you listen closely to the eternal music that echoes in your chest
And like the sand puzzled by the wind
You disappear into the instant
I’ll still go along this forever endless path
To the other side of the wilderness

Are wa tsuki no yume ka
Is that the moon’s dream?

Bokura wa kitto kurayami no kaina kara umarete kita
Kanawanu koi o suru you ni
Hikari e to izanawarete
Doko made mo hateshi no nai kono michi o
Kaeru sube wa nai
Kanata e……
We were certainly born from the arms of darkness
We’re wandering toward the light
As if falling in unfulfilled love
We don’t have a way to return
On this forever endless path
Going to the far side…
