Back in action

After so many months, I'm finally flying again. My passport has been out of service since June & I have just renewed it 2 weeks ago. After such a long rest, it is indeed time to travel again. The only fucking problem is a new passport number to remember!

My upcoming trip will be an easy one. I will be accompanying an engineer from South Africa to Indonesia to solve a long standing problem. A local agent there will be our translator as the customers there do not speak english. I, for the first time, will only be a tag-along.

Anyway, the problem there surfaced in February when I first installed it. It was lying in some remote warehouse in Indonesia for more than a year prior to the installation. I noticed there were plenty of tarnish & some rust when I first laid hands on it. I have since made 2 trips there to try & solve the problem but in vain. A more experienced fellow colleague tried so after me but the end result was still the same. Now finally a caucasian engineer is sent down. As much as I hope for the problem to be solved, a part of me wish this engineer can't do it. It reflects badly on us Singaporean engineers & that is not good. But it will certainly crush whatever reputation my organization has if it is not solved!

Now, I can only follow through & see how things work out.

我的心乱了

多想把你忘掉
多少深夜不再要
说多了也觉得无聊
听说誓言不好
听说相思也烦恼
爱恨就是要这样才感觉到

情难舍我知道
义难了我也知道
我的心就如此乱了
什么是天涯海角
何为天荒地老
誓言有时候还是不说的好

有些事情不是那么容易忘掉
想你的人你要我哪里去找
有些话听一次就真颗心乱了
谁管他到底真多少假多少

有些问题并非真的那么重要
但我的自尊可能就此丢了
有些答案我们永远都不想知道
何不就索性干脆爱一次就算了

This is a rather old song. No prizes if you are able to guess who's the singer. It only proves how old you are.
