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...

I am typing this blog in a stupendously high...fantastically buoyant...super exhilarated mood...sembcorp juz called to tell me they offering me the scholarship!!! wah kaoz...i really can't believe it...it's really too good to be true...i am really not expecting it seriously speaking coz my grades are really not the "scholarly" kind...and i tink i sound a bit cocky during the interview...hahaha...wah i am really very happy they giving me such a golden opportunity like this...pardon me as i am on cloud 999...a gift from above...Thank God for everything...for paving and lighting the path ahead for me...now at least i know which direction i shud go...no longer the little lost lamb wandering out there...

the HR told me to go down to sign the contract next week...haha juz nice i will be der anyway...signing away 2 years of my life...told Pa immediately...YJ who happen to be online...msged ying...den msged ken...genie in JB dunno contactable anot...i am really so happy...that this feeling will really take some time to filtrate through...fancy calling myself a "scholar"...haha...too good to be true...life is certainly good as i mentioned to YJ...the $$ will definitely come in handy for sure...now waiting for the email for more details abt the signing nxt week...whoowhee....quick anyone wans a treat from me pls leave ur name under comments below...hahaha

really a fantastic news to receive early in the morning...rite aft the stressful exams somemore...really shoot up high to the max!! went for a morning run early in the morning...and juz feel charged up for the day...and come back got this piece of fantastic news...i never feel so happy for a long time really...and this feeling will prob spread thru the remaining days of 2006...2006 wad a year for me really...haha

ying accompanied me to go some shopping yesterday...for my working clothes nxt week...aft 2 hours of galivanting..finally settled on 2 long sleeve frm Carrefour PS and one navy pants frm John Little...all well within budget and value for $$...haha...tink i look presentable too...at least according to my fashion consultant...dragged my sis out with me even though she only slept 5 hours coz of her prom nite and her boss decided to give her off yesterday...haha...muz made full use of her when she's free...that's wad sisters are for...hee

watched flags of our fathers with ying aft that at GV...a remarkably meaningful and deep movie on WWII...directed by clint eastwood and produced by steven spielberg...based on a true story on a bestseller that stayed in top of New York Times for a record 46 weeks...i always love war shows...counting among my favs like "Saving Private Ryan"..."Black Hawk Down"..."Windtalkers" and one vietnam war show which i can't remem the title that i watched when i was a kid...they never fail to inspire me always...but this movie is quite diff from those throwing mortars and bombs scenes (there are still though)...it explores deeper to the definition of heroes...why there is no such thing call heroes because heroes are wad we depict and create them to be...i really love watching how the story unfolds behind the flag raisers of the flag on iwo jima that came to be such an icon for US marines...and there is even another similar movie by the same director called "Letters of Iwo Jima" coming up...an unprecedented 2 movie projects shot back to back at the same location...telling 2 sides of the story of iwo jima...the americans and the japs...examining the clash of 2 of civilization's greatest cultures...brillant move...definitely will catch it when it is released...hate to admit this...but this is my 1st movie in almost 6 months...the last one is da vinci code in wildwood...damn paiseh...haha

another good news...insurance finally settled...CIEE emailed to say the insurance company decided to claim the full sum despite me not able to provide the full police report...really a sigh of relief...episode closed finally...

Post Blog sentiments: Finally...a great day to relish...clinching the scholarship no doubt is a good achievement...but i believe it can only motivate me further from now...the responsibilities and challenges of a scholarship holder...i relish it...once again...Thank God for everything planned out for me...
