Listening to: It must have been love - Roxette

I'm dead tired. Travelled to Kampong Glam and Kallang Bahru after lecture today. Needed to take a brief look at the facilities there, the demographics and stuff. Chances are, the group will choose to do the Kampong Glam area.. considering it's an old estate and we have issues like congregation of thai workers and the ever growing pigeon population there. I'm only worried about the imbalance of demographics there. Mostly old folks above 50.. just a few young families.. worried we might not get much in the 13-19 age group.. coz we have to survey 3 age groups..

Kallang Bahru has a more balanced community. It's recently been upgraded.. the CC is kinda new. But it's an average neightbourhood.. Don't think we would have much to write about if we did that area. I mean I would rather choose like Ghim Moh.. it's CLOSE to school. It's got all the ppl in diff age grps we need.. rather UNfortunately, it's considered a rather "well to do" estate - relative to Kampong Glam and Kallang Bahru. Something tells me i have to make a trip down to the Bouna Vista CC tomorrow to ask a few questions. They HAVE to have SOME problems.. no estate is perfect.

Right now, i have blistered feet. and fingers ( *grins at marcus* Shush. secret for now yah? )
and aching legs. and I just want to... lie down and do nothing. I dozed off on the bus just now.. only goes to show i was REALLY tired coz i don't normally fall asleep on buses ( unless there is someone with me and i feel safe enough to sleep...) Been paranoid since my gran fall asleep once and had her bag stolen.

And despite living close to school, i've broken ALL record and reached class only 90 mins after i left the house. spent an hour and fifteen minutes at the damn bus-stop. missed 2 PACKED buses. left the place at 11.15, got to class 12.45.. i may as well have been living in woodlands or changi *grumbles*

And i guess the disappointment of the night is coz he ain't calling tonight. After a long, tiring day.. i figured it would be nice to talk to him. ah well. pity then, coz he's too lazy to leave the house to call me ( long story that, dont ask ) Trying very hard not to blame him for it. thoughts like "what, i'm not WORTH that 5 min walk to the phone booth?" take too much energy. So it's more like a "oh. kay then. i'll talk to you tomorrow." Do i expect too much now?... It's just one night after all. I don't know why it ALWAYS leads to a "if he does it this once.. in future... it'll just BE a regular thing" i'm a paranoid person. It stems from my mom, i swear. BAh i'm not going to dwell on the subject. it's just a fucking phone call.

but yes, a certain kind of disappointment.
