《叶子》 羽泉
有一个失明的女孩叫叶子 是我的好朋友
我知道在她心里面 能看得见一切
在她透明的心儿里面 有一个角落
那里停放着 善良的故事和动人的传说
在她透明有的眼睛里面 有一片湖泊
那里沉浸着 喜悦的伤感和忧郁的欢乐
它的水面上没有涟漪也没有颜色
长长的睫毛闪烁着无尽的猜测
(叶子问)
爱情是什么颜色的 如果忧郁是蓝色的
快乐是什么颜色的 如果寂寞是灰色的
天空是什么颜色的 如果汪洋是蓝色的
我说天空也是蓝色的 因为他们彼此相爱了
爱情是什么颜色的 如果记忆是模糊的
渴望是什么颜色的 如果时间是静止的
永恒是什么颜色的 如果呼吸是短暂的
我想我只好沉默 因为这问题地球它也在思考着
透明是什么颜色的 如果风儿是快乐的
叶子的眼睛是透明的 心是 心是 快乐的 心是 快乐的
如果你注意到电视剧《蓝色仙人掌》的预告片，背景音乐就是以上这首歌的副歌部分。
这首歌值得细细咀嚼。叶子问的问题，你有答案吗？
It's been more than a week since my last entry on 16 May. I am busy "blogging" (according to my NTU supervisor for attachment), writing logbook for my work.
*
I am just writing to tell all my friends reading my blog, that I am still in one piece after my third week of attachment. My work progress is slightly behind time but it is fine, I will work hard to catch up. I am in a small and cosy office with another 3 colleagues and I go for lunch with 2 of them everyday. It is very lucky for me that I don't need to do clerical or manual work and I am left mostly on my own, working on the given project. The NTU lecturer supervising me had visited me and jested that I am happy working there. He did not tell me this but my supervisor in the organisation said that to me after she met with him. Yep, I am treasuring this learning opportunity. I can only say that my attachment could not have been better with good relationship with fellow colleagues, nice supervisors from the organisation as well as the NTU side and no photocopying and coffee-making assignments.

Some of my friends are surprised that ITE as a government body needs marketing staff. I belong to ITE no doubt. The organisation is actually called ITE Holding Pte Ltd and I am attached to ITE Education Services Pte Ltd (ITEES), its subsidiary. As you can see, ITE has its private company too. We are the only revenue-generating part of ITE ok! ITE as a government body is not set up to be profitable. However, ITE (the one providing post-sec education) HAS its marketing division mind you. That's how they got their "Thinking Hands" campaign and all these. But I shan't comment on this bunch of **** people.
Luckily, I did not eat a lot for breakfast this morning.
I was walking on the overhead bridge besides Buona Vista MRT Station when I saw a SBS bus on the road below.
No one was on the bus.
There was a police car and some police officers were there standing.
Then I saw that the raod was wet.
It was like petrol on the road when there is leakage from the oil tank.
I looked carefully.
Something was laying near the curb of the road, just beneath the plants that line the road.
It was covered with a white sheet.
I felt nauseous... wanted to throw up.
Today is my first day of professional attachment. Although I am glad that I managed to land myself somewhere near, there is apprehension when I know that I am the only intern there.
0815
I am walking down the corridor of ITE HQ looking for the correct room to report to. The rooms were empty. The staffs inside, my would-be colleagues looked unfriendly, giving me cold stare when I peeped into the office. Finally, one came forward to open the glass door for me. After telling them the name of my reporting supervisor. They said: "Chong is no longer with us. He left a few weeks ago!" I am dumbfounded. You are telling me only now that he resigned? I started to panick. How am I going to do my PA when my supervisor is gone?
0820
I was brought to another office to wait for the contact person of the organisation for my PA. After a few minutes, she was back from the washroom with a pail of water to clean her desk. She asked if I was the intern she was expecting and explained that she has found another supervisor for me called Debby. Ok, "Debby" sound nice and sweet. I hope she is so in person. I was told to wait a while more since the office that I belong to was empty.
0828
Yeah! One of the colleagues from the office that I belong to appeared and I was asked to follow him next door. Ok, I saw Debby there. She looked friendly *phew*. Then i was shown to my desk which belonged to my former supervisor. It looked like he left in a hurry and had no time to pack all his belongings with him. The area around the desk was littered with files, loose sheets of papers, empty and half-filled bottles and a pair of shoes(??!!). A laptop was there waiting for me. I started to worried again. How to use a laptop?! I was told that I have to see the General Manager at 9am.
0910
I was brought to the GM's office. He was in NTU for his undergraduate studies. Scary - 自己人. He bombarded me with why he could not be my supervisor and how I am supposed to come up with the marketing framework, broucheres, ppt slides etc etc. I was in cold sweat by then. How can I manage all these by myself? What he wanted was covered in 3 different marketing modules this semester! I could only nod and nod and nod, while taking down his words.
0925
Meeting with GM ended. I am back at my desk with the Prospectus 2006, broucheres and laptop to do my own digesting of company's knowledge. Went to shakehands with colleagues from offices next door. Read... read... read... read... reeeaaaadd.. reeeeeaaaaaddzz... reeeaaaddzz... readzzzzz... zzzzzzz...
1220
It was a busy morning so my supervisor and 2 other colleagues in the same office had no time to "entertain" me, except asking me along when they wanted to visit the washroom. They visited the WC quite a few times in 3 hours time. We went to the canteen which look like those in secondary schools for our lunch after my supervisor came back from her meeting. Lunch was simple - chinese mixed vegetable rice and some frozen fruits blended ice-cream.
1310
Back in the office again. Busy finishing my ice-cream. Checked my sms, oops, 3 smses.
1330
Read... reeaadd... reeeaaaddd... z... read... zzz... read... zzz. Looking out for anyone who would see me in slumberland.
1650
Yeah! My supervisor finished her meetings and sat down to discuss my job scope. And I finally discovered something dreadful. There is no marketing department or staff there, I am supposed to be the one with the expertise other than the GM who is a MBA holder. Their intention was to get an intern to work out SOMETHING for them. Feeling sick now, I should have predicted something was not right when the GM gave me job scope which sound general and broad. How can a company survived without a marketing department? Remarkable! I must report this finding to all marketing professors that I meet.
1745
Discussion ended. I am back at my desk to fiddle with the laptop waiting for 6pm to come.
1800
Finally. By the time I realised it was 6pm, I was left in the office with my supervisor. The 2 others were gone. Wow! How fast they respond.
1805
Bade my supervisor goodbye and headed to the bus stop.

To students in KH class:
Forgive me if you find errors in your last few assignments. I admit I had been drinking while marking them. It has 5% alcohol and made me slept the moment I went to bed. Please let me have my way. I worked hard marking your assignments when I was supposed to celebrate or sleep early after my last paper in the afternoon. All the best for your mid-year papers!
