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...

It's mid term break!! wah lau so fast sia...this semester has gotta be the fastest ever...now already halfway thru and I still lingering in my summer mood...thanks in no doubt to an unprecedented 4-day week and coupled with technically slack modules...this semester seems to be whizzing by...and i am not even 2 lectures into my political science reading...haven't even flip the book for GCIP...totally no clue to what's happening for geotech lectures...and in short...still lost in the holiday wilderness...better wake up!! whole day humming Green Day's "Wake me up when September ends"...before i know it October will end too...andden come November it's exams liao!! oh nooooo....

with that better set my foot firm this time...don't wanna waste this as always extremely important term break...this sem the NUS administration seems to have come to their senses finally...at last giving a full one week break and unlike the previous 2 years of 4 day break ending on thursday...really cock up...starting the week on a friday...sometimes don't even know which odd or even week i am and suppose to go for which week tutorial...but at least they have changed this weird system...and now getta enjoy one full week of break...ok betta set some Goals for this "Break" week...since there's not much projects or essays to go ard this time rd...so or the more must be disciplined and catch up on some readings and notes...

MID TERM BREAK GRAND MASTERPLAN

1. Start on the Physics essay with alwyn...we chose a very unique topic i would say...using Einstein's special relativity to design a slimming center...haha...came up with some pretty good ideas...hopefully can expand it and come up with a decent piece...don't wanna S/U this module even though history has suggested so...so betta put in some effort and my one of only 2 essay of the semester anyway...oh yah need to study fotr the test which will come aft term break too...

2. Do the Geotechnical Assignment! wah lau this one headache...really funny how come i seem to enjoy non engin mods more even though i am in engin...but nevertheless...betta get my arse down and try to finish this assignment which is due...real soon

3. Catch up on my Political science readings for gooddamn sake! severely lacking behind in my readings (i still tyring to find out why it's happening sem aft sem)...wah lau really lack motivation...sometimes before i can even flip to the next page of the coursepack..ok i tell myself enough and tomorrow continue...but that tomorrow never seems to come...and I am still stuck at week 1 for heaven's sake...so betta catch up...banking my hopes on this arts mod too...haha

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