Today marked the first month since I started working in PB... a lot of happenings... and I witnessed the leaving of 3 colleagues... the one tat shocked me most would be the resignation of the senior engineer who joined PB on the same day as me... but no one could blame him... not even my boss... he even went to the extent of apologizing to him after he announced the decision of tat senior engineer... too big a project with too little experienced staff... our department is considered as a baby of the company... and it is taking its first shaky step towards proving itself to be as good as any other department... results are generated... but still the problem of manpower persisted... the management is very supportive... and is constantly on the look-out for suitable candidates to fill in the gaps... but not everyone wants to be part of the IR project... as the project is one of itself... and really differs from normally consulting tasks... so much so tat the company is currently sourcing out of Singapore for experienced engineers...

Even if I am not needed to attend site meetings and face those complaints and screaming... I am still finding myself working from 8.30am to late 10pm... work kept piling onto the existing jobs on hand... and I was assigned to be in-charge of 6 drafters... with no knowledge of how drafting is carried out... so much so tat I am finding it harder to find any work space on my desk... so many drawings... and so many stuff to keep on hand so tat when those senior engineers request for information from me I could just give them straight away... one even quoted a very funny reason for giving everything for me to keep... "her desk very neat... not like ours... forever cannot find things"... this added double responsibility for me... as when the engineers could not find their stuff... they just drop by my desk and ask me, even when I had returned it to them after completing the tasks given...

A lot of challenges... as not only am I exposed to the IR project... as a drafter IC... I am required to pick up another complete different processes concerning a NUS project... I almost fainted from having to keep the deadline... luckily the drafters are very helpful and understanding... they give their 110% support... and the senior drafters even teach me how to assign jobs so tat everything could be carried out smoothly... not forgetting the many times when they would stop what they are doing to answer my queries and provide the information I needed on the drawings...

Though I still have yet to completely submerge myself to the roles tat I had to play in the team... I am grateful tat I have colleagues and seniors out there to look out for me and guide me... I may have to work longer hours and put in more effort... but in the end... I know the one to benefit would be me... I just have to have faith in my own abilities... and strive towards fulfilling the expectations my supervisors and boss have of me... they all held high hopes and expectations... as before I join... our dear GM already publicized me so much tat I am hearing a lot of comments like... "very aggressive... positive attitude... optimistic... willing to learn..."... believe me... I almost laugh out loud when I heard the word "aggressive"... all in all... more work and lesser zzz time... I hope I could live up to those "expectations"... haha...

*******************************************

Going back to NTU tomorrow to explain and officially hand over my FYP to the student who is taking it... brought back a lot of memories... like how I was without any help or guidance... and had to start everything from scratch... but the results were produced... and I am happy to know tat it was feasible... so much so tat the project is continuing and tat they are intending to build another prototype to further investigate... though personally... I hope tat the guy would not kept me too long... as I really feel like taking a well-deserved rest after battling for 5 days...

砂塵の彼方へ...
Arranged by：Revo / 梶浦由記

beyond the dust storm
an extending horizon
within each wave
everlasting melody

tabibito no kisetsu wa tsune ni
kako e to ima ubau kedo
ano hi kasane ta utagoe wa
ima mo mada hibiiteru
the seasons of travelers often
occupy the present with the past
the songs from those days
echo even now

kizuato mo iyasezu ni
bokura wa nani
wo matsu no darou
GOOD TIMES FOR BLEND
mou ichido meguru to shinjiteitai
we whose scars have not yet healed
what are we
still waiting for?
GOOD TIMES FOR BLEND
I believe we will return once again

suna no umi de
mizu ni kogare
tsume wo hai demo
inori wa ido no soko
in the sea of sand
we yearn for water
even though our hands will bleed
as we reach deeper into the well

kimi no na wa DREAM
hakanaki MELODY
kuchibiru ga fureru hodo ni
touzakaru
your name is like a DREAM
a dreamlike MELODY
before the lips meet
slowly fading into the distance

nari yama nai mune no RHYTHM
ato hitotsu dake oka wo koe
suna ni inori wo uzumete mo
kono te wo nobasu kara douka
FLY ME…
the heart cries on with a RHYTHM
as we cross the final dune
a sudden prayer sinks into the sand
yet I hold out both hands to you, please
FLY ME…

Dream Port

ashiato mo nokosazu ni
bokura wa doko e yuku no darou
GOOD BYE, DEAR FRIEND
mou ichido aeru to shinjiteitai
we who have not yet left footprints
to where are we headed?
GOOD BYE, DEAR FRIEND
I believe we will meet again

suna no umi ga
kure yuku koro
subete no sakebi ga
mezasu kagayaki
kimi no na wa DREAM
haruka na MELODY
kuchibiru ni uta wo hitotsu
tomoshite
dusk approaches
in the sea of sand
all cries on our fingertips
become beams of shimmering light
your name is like a DREAM
a distant MELODY
by the lips, a single song
is lit

furueru no wa yoru no HARMONY
kodoku wa koe wo kouraseru
tsuki ni sakebi ga todoku nara
kono mi wo sasagu kara douka
FLY ME…
　the HARMONY of a trembling night
loneliness freezes every sound
if my cries can reach the moon
I would give you this body, please
FLY ME…

fly me and take me
to the forgotten realm
take me there…
fly me…

Dream Port

subete no oto ga itsuka
kieuse ta seijaku no naka de
boku tachi wa furue nagara
ai no uta wo utai dasu
every musical note
fades unnoticed in the silence
despite still trembling
we sing this song of love

kaze wo koe te tooi kishibe e
kokoro wa yukeru no darou
tooku sazameku eien no ongaku ga
bokura wo maneku kara
across the winds to the distant shore
our hearts will traverse
as the eternal melody
calls to us from afar

suna wo koete tooi kishibe de
bokura wa deau darou
ano hi kasaneta utagoe
wo kono mune ni
sajin no kanata e
across the sands at the distant shore
we will meet again
the songs from that day
will be treasured in this heart
beyond the dust storm

lalala…
