Leon's Boulevard of Unspoken Dreams

A 4th Year NUS Civil Engineering (Offshore) student...with the plainest clues to life's most important questions...so to make life seem much simpler and happier than it actually is...chose to satirise and mock his already complicated and complex 24 years of life history in this blog journal...on the quest to seek the real truth...on the journey to chase his endless dreams...and on the voyage to find out his eternal destiny...ahhhh nothing but crap again...

Met the boys in sch for some badminton action today...taking a quite well deserved break aft doing some serious studying and catching up on my readings for the past 2 to 3 days...ok simply put juz "mugging" in short...for those of you who are more familiar with this term...i not like some pple whole day "mugging" at home den tell pple whole day "go chiong"...plz lah mugging den say mugging...nothing to be ashamed of wad...at this level liao still wanna play this type of childish pychological games that PSLE students are playing...tsk tsk...

anyway the highlight of the day is no doubt badminton at SRC...genie came to pick me up at ard 10 at clementi mrt...our plan initially was to get some work done too...bobian lah term break is like that one...clear our geotech assignment...den discuss a bit on our respective physics essays...but who knows our hands itchy den decided to go straight to SRC to start our badminton rallies earlier...haha...a sign of things to come for the day...

wah the courts are so damn packed today...we thought term break all the chao muggers will be at home mugging...den go into MPSH 5 was quite surprised to see so many courts occupied...we never book any court in advance as usual...so juz hoping nobody come ard to disrupt our game anytime soon...but luck ran out at the climax of the game...nb really...this group came over and ask us whether we got book our court and ask to see the receipt somemore...wah lau eh...timing cannot be better lah...of coz we didn't book lah and have to give way...later den realise we should have asked for their booking receipt too...haha that will be too bastard lah i guess...no choice leave the court den hang ard before alwyn suggest go his hall to check it out since their communal hall might be free...

so with that 4 of us packed into xiao hong and scoot off to TH...check out alwyn's room for a while den head to the communal hall...Disaster strikes again!! there's some function at the hall and tables and chairs already line up at wad was supposed to be the badminton court...wah lau is Heaven punishing us for not doing our work first ah den go and play badminton straight?? haha...damn suay lah

as we were clearly still in the peak of the "shuttling" mood...decided to go back to SRC to see anybody left already den got free court anot...if not juz go bathe and start doing some solid work lah...which we were suppose to do in the 1st place lah...haha really jokers waste time running from SRC to TH den back to SRC again when pple are queuing up to go in Central Library (Yes...the whole forum was packed and streams of pple were going to the Lib lah...haha...NUS wad ya expect)

Wah damn heng got one court free...with that we quickly plunge in...which reminds me of the state we are reduced in for not booking the court in advance...we are basically like "Court Scavengers"...like the crows hovering ard the food at Tekka hawker center...like the wildwood boardwalk penguins hovering ard leftover pizzas (and who can forget one of the sickening penguin took my beef patty away!! nb)...played like one good solid hour before another group of comrades came and chase us in a somewhat unfriendly manner...these pple ah...sch time trash us in grades...n now holiday also come and cha siao our fun...damn irritating really...all these ah tiongs...


anyway had our fair fun of badminton already so dun geh kao...instead of going to wash up den kuai kuai do our assignments...end up we decide to take the football frm xiao hong's boot and go the handball court and have some kickarounds...hahaha...say wanna do work end up play whole day...really cannot blame lah...we are a bunch of restless, full of vigour young adult men who have simply too much energy to expand...

ken watches helplessly as the ball whizzes into the net

genie "kneeling" the ball away

epitomising the aspects of the beautiful game...strength, power, accuracy, grace, poise, flair and the list goes on...

Ken throwing his imaginary discus at SRC

alwyn readies to take the shot!! and what a beauty that was...wheewee

and ken strikes into the bottom corner of the net!

here it comes genie eyeing the ball with those fiery predator instincts

ken readies to pounce on that deadly header of his

showing off some nifty footwork across the face of goal

alwyn prepares to dive and make another wonderful save

genie lining up to shoot...!!

and straight at the keeper...nothing seems to go past him today!!

aft the match the players go ard doing their lap of honour in an empty stadium


went CGH at night to visit Ah Ma...Ah Ma has been warded there since Sun for breathing difficulties and pain to lower limbs...initially was quite serious as the docs told Pa and my uncles to inform all the relatives to come and visit her and prepare for the worst...but somehow her condition miraculously improved the last few days...really a miracle i would say...and hopefully her condition keeps improving and can be discharged in no time...so sad she can't even recognise me when i call her...my fault really...haven't been visiting her often these days since i came back...muz make it a point to visit her at least once a month lah...

a funny thought juz came to my mind when visiting ah ma...juz realise i haven't seen some of my uncles, aunties and cousins for a while...some for quite a few years in fact...it's only when ocassions like these that bring us together...got joyous times like my cousin's wedding some 5 or 6 years back...and also sorrow times like my youngest uncle's funeral few years ago...somemore past few years haven't been celebrating CNY in singapore...my family have been going back to batu pahat to my other ah ma's house (the place where my happiest childhood memories hold)...can't blame lah really...juz closer to my malaysia cousins den s'pore ones...but juz sad lah...growing up realise cousins actually are very good networks of contacts...esp the older ones who step out to the workforce and can advise u on the job markets and prospects...juz find it wasted like never really cultivate and establish our relationships properly lah...but in the 1st place...how many of us in today s'pore's context can say we are close to our cousins? most would juz do away with those formality CNY greetings every year and that's about it...den nxt year juz repeat again...but of coz there are exceptional cases...however i dare say most s'pore extended families fall into the above sorry scenario...s'poreans are juz too busy scoring As in sch and den chasing their 5Cs when they graduate issn't it

went for dinner with Pa, Mummy and Ying at Bedok Interchange Market aft that...Hong stuck in sch with projects...wah this sem she seems even more busy den me sia...

Bedok Hokkien mee...my first plate since i came back

family feast...chicken wings...soon kueh...nasi lemak...fried oysters and char kway teow

Bedok Central hawker center...one of the more famous eastern hawker centers ard

quite like the Deepavali lightings this year

4. "Train" for my IPPT! (notice how i put this last and notice the " "...)

SawadeeCOUP!!!


Political strife in our neighbour Thailand...yet another event to add to her already "illustrious" history of millitary coups in the country...wah kaoz ken, genie and me were still talking of going to Bangkok during the upcoming term break...Heng haven't book anything yet coz tinking of pushing it to the Dec holidays...if not instead of having some decent traditional thai massages, enjoying some solid shopping at the famous flea markets and indulging ourselves with pipping hot bowls of Tom yam soups...we find ourselves facing off with tanks and howitzers...straying bullets and loose grenades...haha talk so much...it's a bloodless coup lah dude...on a side note...i am also glad they decide to hold the topple Bian movement in Taiwan until recently...if not our Taipei leg would not have been so fun filled and enjoyable...shiok to be exact...haiyahhh...miss Taipei lah...

Finally after one half sem of talk and no action...we at last got our 1st badminton session of the semester...not that we are too lazy to book the courts at SRC...but juz that everytime when we go into the system to book online...the courts are always full...seriously dunno which kiasu idiots always book all the courts enbloc...i really don't wanna mention names lah...but it is always those group of comrades...nb really...but anyway we learnt smart liao...everytime system full den the courts always nobody so we decided to try our luck go down to MPSH and take a look...true enough free courts abound!! at one stage we had the whole bloody hall to ourselves...wah lau these pple book liao dun wanna play...only taking up space...

had a damn solid 3 hour workout...haven't play since the last day of exams last sem...and of coz ang mohs don't play badminton in US lah...went back muscles sore like siao...blisters here and there...nevertheless damn shiok lah...we decided to like make this a weekly event from now on...good way to workout...train for IPPT...and simply juz take away the stress from the slowly piling up of untouched assignments and essays...had a great time with the boys...alwyn, genie and ken...sweat it out baby!!

ken (with back facing) and genie facing off at Court 4

"Drop shot!!" Another great ball by genie no doubt our best player...haha

Testimonies of our game's intensity

"wah damn shagged" taking a breather...relac one corner




Somemore news to report on my internship progress...applied for two more construction companies thru the NUS ejob centre...i tink these 2 got betta chance lah...they specifically asking for CE year 3 students den the period of internship also juz nice during the december break...so hopefully got more chance...i juz wanna a chance for internship...so i can wear long sleeve long pants and neck tie for once in my life go to work...dun care where lah...juz give me a place will do can liao...anyone got any more lobangs anot ah??

and the 1st piece of bad news from none other than Proctor and Gamble...rejected me tactfully thru their email...looks like my Bangkok dream is more or less gone liao...in the 1st place also apply doubt will get it that kind of attitude...coz it is like some sort of business challenge and u gotta form teams with other particpants to solve some sort of real life business problem...so dun see much of a chance for a CE student here...dun care lah Bangkok who wanna go now...a case of "cannot eat the grapes say the grapes are sour" (directly translated from a chinese proverb)...haha

oh got back my transport test results yesterday too...i would say exceeded my expectations lah...and i muz say it is a fairly good result...more than i can ask for...a good start to the sem academically and gave me motivation for the rest of the sem...haha

hahaha...very long never see the word "Good" liao...not since primary sch ah i tink...



finished my lions of lucerne finally...eyeing John Grisham's The Partner at the PS's Times Bookshop...

Woohoo!!!

An official end to the xiong fortnite of the semester or in f4 lingo...the dreaded hell weeks...haha...2 labs per week over the last 2 weeks and throw in 1 transport test to boot...It's time to countdown to midterm break!! worry about the lab reports later man...and besides i dun even know wadda hell is going on for the geotech labs...i only remember trying desperately to fake my values so the slope will fail for Part a of the lab...as for part b it is best left unsaid...for 3 of us totally have no idea wad went wrong man...our slope seems impossible to fail with a safety factor of 10 to the power of 29 when we should be getting a value close to 1...hahaha...wad a major cockup...

Got the confirmation email from speedwing and got the job for the 1 day roadshow...yipee...one more source of revenue...though not much but it beats betta than nothing...and the job is not too tough too...but got a 2 hour "Non-payable" session to go the week before...that's the minus point lah...anyway book my IPPT to coincide that Saturday too...haha always book like the weekend before the deadline...at this rate i am "training"...i tink history is gonna repeat at khatib camp in 3 weeks time again...like that say those 2 consecutive Sats of IPPT and roadshow are as good as buang...I must catch up more work over the term break!! (yah rite...)


In a continuation to my ultimate goal of building up my resume and with it job experience...i have been scouring intensely over the weekend for internship opportunities this December...google up and down on Sat and Sun...and surf jobstreet, jobsdb, monster, internsg and so on...den realise not many companies have december internship programmes...mainly for the summer holidays which stretch much longer...but still managed to apply to PSA, DBS and Citibank...haha...DBS and Citibank?!!? worldclass banks in my opinion...obviously looking for "worldclass" talents...wah lau i can't believe i actually apply there...juz try my luck lah...hope heng heng can get it lah...but doubt it...certainly not in my case with mediocre results and equally average CCA records...

Amazing Race is back!! for the tenth season!! caught almost every season since its inauguration in 2002...still remem the 1st season was won by a team of lawyers and best friens...and juz fell in love with this reality show from den on...i juz love to see how relationships like father/daughter, husband/wife, sibblings, friends, budding couples or even gay partners are put into the test during the extremities of the race...it portrays how strong their understanding and trust of one another really is during the course of the race...how some of them claim to be lifelong friens and actually fall out because of one million dollars (ok that's really a lot btw)...how relationships have been put to the test and in some case crumble...unable to cope with the rigours of the journey around the world and coupled with tiring obstacles one gotta clear in the form of roadblocks and detours...how one's true character is really manifested when one is totally exhausted and desperate...on the verge of losing out in the race...throw in all the twists and turns...the bizarre situations that the team got themselves to...and u get the one and only Amazing Race...the complete reality show of all time!!

my fav season has gotta be the one with rob and amber on it...i really love how rob always has this uncanny ability to influence and play around with the other teams' minds and pysche...how he actually manipulate them and twirl them around his finger...i also like the one season with the midget i tink her name is charla or something...her gungho spirit despite her physical disabilities really inspire me and put someone perfectly healthy to shame...but i gotta say my fav team gotta be the retired couple from the rob and amber season...i remem one scene when the old lady got hurt very badly in a cave in Eygpt and her whole shirt was tattered with blood but she still refuse to give up...and the old couple's love for one another really touches me...they have this amazing telepathy with one another which somehow the younger couples cannot seem to emulate...and indeed with such understanding and teamwork...they carried themselves to 5th place eventually...a truly commendable effort for their age...in fact they are the highest placed elderly couple in the race's history so far...

certainly will wanna take part if ever go the chance...but must find the truly one solid partner first...heh


Our Homeground...LT2...in the middle of transport Lect...and there's Prof Fwa...the amiable prof

Dily's Creation...YJ...I have juz ordered an ampong balik to be packaged over to Sweden as ur bdae present...hahaha

Had my 1st test of the semester yesterday...Transport test...the whole chapter on Geometric Design...didn't really study much over the weekend...but lucky still manage to sian my way thru for the 1st part of the test...and juz crossing my fingers the calculations don't make any silly mistakes things should work out fine lah i hope...hoping to do well for my first test this sem...muz start from where i left off last sem with a bang!! heh

caught up with Leong after lecture yesterday too...boy i muz say i am damn impressed by this hokkien bro of mine...haha...wah kaoz doing double major...minor in technopreneurship...still maintaining his sky high cap...took part in so many biz competitions and so active in Biz club...chairing this and that...and went for internship over hols too...wah lau really feel like i have accomplish nothing in sch compared to this fella...andden it struck me i am really a super slacker in NUS...never stay hall...no CCA wadsoever...no sports...never join any competitions...and haven't go for any internships!! wah kaoz...juz realise i haven't even got a decent office related job all my life...worked as warehouse assistant before...promoter...technical operator cum production helper...and most recently my lifeguard and ride operator stint in US...my job history really reads like crap lah...and i am already 3rd year liao!!

really time to do something man...damn inspired aft talking with Leong yesterday aftnoon...hell bent on getting an internship this coming December...and muz be those wear long sleeve...long pants...with neck tie and briefcase kind...office environment...and of coz i need to brush up my pathetic resume damn badly lah...certainly not the kind to go out and show pple loh...the HR clerks of those big MNCs will laugh their heads off lah if i apply for job in 2008 and my job history remaining status quo...still got this December...nxt summer and nxt Dec...den that's it liao...betta get some decent internships man...

oyah btw...i haven't announce a super impt news!! i have officially withdrawn from the my SEP canada last week...really one of the super tough decisions that i have to make...and it is not without much struggle and deliberation...the whole story is like this...i am specialising in offshore engineering and have to fufill certain modules to specialise...so i follow last sem's timetable to map my moudles...turns out quite swee swee...den somehow they not offering one module "structural analysis II" this sem and will offer it next sem...which i will be going waterloo...den which means i gotta find waterloo modules to map for struct II...and unfortunately they only offer in summer and not winter...and BIG PROB!!

so i email prof chin vice head of dept for advice...coz really dunno how lah...and this is excerpts of his email reply...

"No doubt, the Offshore specialization has a serious constraint on what you have to do. You will then have to work out the best arrangements accordingly including considering, extending your study period or forgoing some of your desired modules."

what!?!! extend my study period!!? it's already taking up my bloody time having to spend 4 years in uni and now i gotta extend my study period!! u gotta be joking dude...but on the other hand i really dun wanna miss the chance to go for SEP...becoz it will be a whole new exp...and i really got even more fired up aft work and travel...but asking me to consider extending my study period is a straight NO NO...and i dun have any more mods left liao mah...left all the cores only so where got mods to forgo??

so with that really suck thumb...a struggle really to send out the email to the dept to withdraw...i am really hoping still got other openings to somewhere now and the modules can match...dun care where lah juz hoping still got...really feel quite sad about this whole affair...but juz glad finally resolved...sorry ST and HW my waterloo buddies...for now juz gotta put my arse in s'pore loh...

so that means all the more muz go for internship this holidays with my canadian dream all but over...muz grab more chances liao...went back straight away start digging out my files to see wad achievement wadever little i have...and spent the whole nite typing out my resume...spotted this Proctor & Gamble Business Challenge opening to year 3 students in my mail...getta go to Bangkok this December for a one-week business seminar...wah lau kin ah mai tu liao!! hopefully can get it lah but most likely they will give this stuff to those 4-cappers...Proctor & Gamble leh...brands like Duracell, Gillette, Hugo, Herbal Essences, Head & Shoulders...wah lau why would such a big company still choose a civil engin slacker languishing in the 3rd class region?? but still hope to get it lah...free trip to Bangkok...haha

Errands ran today...

collected back mine Fossil watch from Pacific Plaza...changed the whole crown and batteries...add up pay 38sing more...plus the 20USD i paid...still worth it for a brand new Fossil watch
