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...

Day 12

suffering frm the after effects of shamrock when i woke up this morning...boy it was a great nite of music and booze even though decked out in entirely wrong fashion...capris and slippers...went straight down to Adventure's pier in the morning for the 3rd straight day of sai kang...no choice the summer season is still officially not here yet and all 3 piers will not be in full operation until 3 weeks frm now...that means tons of cleaning and maintenance work to do before expecting the summer crowd...

sweep...swept...sweep...was sweeping the whole pier for the whole morning...surely not everyday is sunday and i know it too damn well...yesterday given easy tasks and i can oni expect this kinda of chow kang today...basically prancing up and down the pier with my broom and dustpan for a good 5 hours...at least they ordered lunch for us this time rd even though getting a little bit sick of pizza these days...but seriously the papa john's pizza is good stuff...definitely much cheesier and delicious than the 99cents pizza along Boardwalk...everyone juz gobbled one piece aft another and in no time...empty boxes of pizza started piling up...


this sign seems less and less appealing each time i walked past it...

It's the Beach Jam here at wildwood!! Over 9000 boy and girl scouts are expected to visit the piers this wkend...my goodness that means twice the crowd last wkend and twice the workload...gotta tong the heat and sun in the day...the wind and chill at nite...ohh man my face is juz recovering frm the moisturizer...and now it's now going back to square one...

reported for work at 5pm...was cleaning mine baobei viking boat when suddenly a tough-looking & burly middle-aged angmoh wearing moreys jacket walked up to mine boat...at first i tot i was in for some shit and the moreys management sending this manager over here to warn me...

"Hi, I am Gilberto and nikki sent me here to work wif u..."

i was in for the rudest shock i can get...i would never expect this guy to tell me he will be working wif me...or issit management found out i have trouble dealing the boat alone and decided to send this bouncer to bail my arse out...haha...but Gilberto or Gil rather turn out to be a pretty nice chap...he will defitnitely not feel out of place if u drab him up in cowboy wear and a hat to match...with his southern floridan accent and puerto rican origin...could tell he is very much a Ricky martin in his heydays man...haha...aft some chatting, found out he is oni 35 yrs old or perhaps his goatee added some years to his age...and is already a father of 3 daugthers and 1 young son...and his eldest daughter is already 18 yrs old man...started early is wad he say...haha...a former plumber who had a salary of 14 bucks an hr decided to switch to 6 bucks an hr operating the viking boat along the jersey shore...told me he had enuff of digging and backbreaking work...$$ is not the issue but rather enjoying wad u r doing is the matter...shudden this be the mentality in life?? but why am i still stuck in this pathetic rat race?? tsk tsk


tents sprouting all over the beach for the wildwood beach jam...damn

and of coz got mine first paycheck today and it turned out to be a disaster...realized we were severly shortchanged or rather, NF, eric, JK and me were shortchanged...got almost half of wad ken and FX got...and it is almost impossible since all of us were basically doing the same things thru the whole wk...filled in the payroll error form at sendout and hopefully the issue will be resolved soon...nabe suay or wad...everyone got their right pay except us...haiz...
