Listening to: whatever the neighbour is playing ( i hope his speakers explode )

My question is, "Why me?"

The last time I looked at the clock before i fell asleep was 6.20am..
The phone rang and woke me up at 8ish. and I haven't been able to go back to sleep since.

*Sigh* Why mE?
Listening to: Boys and Girls - Good Charlotte

It's 3a.m in the morning. I'm still awake. Because a certain somebody made extra coffee at 5pm.. assured me it was MILD coffee.. She took 2 mugs and said she couldnt finish. so I drank half a mug of her MILD coffee. *growls* MILD SHE SAYS! *gets all agitated* so WHY AM I STILL AWAKE?

*mutters darkly* I don't get it. How come she's totally knocked out and I'm like.. awake.

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! *pulls hair*

Listening to: Until the Time is Through - Five

Ya know what? I was pretty pleased with my CNY collections.. -until- the late night mahjong sessions. Lets just say i donated my red packets back to my relatives. I mean, that's prolly WHY they give me big red packets.. they KNOW they'll get it back ANYWAY. *laugh* My aunt kept hitting my hand though. Coz i would always get the "hua" she needed. hah!

Melvin's 3-presents-in-1 is ready *beams happily* I was so proud of myself that i cammed shimin JUST to show her what it was i got for him *laugh* and i even took a picture of it to send to jen. *giggles madly* Well i can't post the pic up yet.. i'll post it after he opens his present ya? or at least, if i don't get too lazy... i'll post it up.

Joanne highlighted her hair! so so surprising.. but it looks nice.. adds a lil texture to her.. err.. flat rebonded hair. But yes, the highlighting was very nicely done :)

I went overboard on spending today ( again ). Guess it is true.. when I go "yay! I have money!".. it becomes "had" in less than 24 hours. I don't know.. it's YJ's fault! The other day he reminded me about how we used to buy Mrs Field's cookies and brownies at Holland Village (before they did all that renovation ).. i mean, that was -years- ago. like 6 years? Geez i feel old. Anyway, ever since he brought it up, i've been having this craving for Mrs Fields..

So. I bought this whole tin of cookies. Honestly, I've never spent 30 over bucks on cookies.. but err.. yeah.. *looks at half empty tin* well, there is a first time for everything eh? I wanted to get the brownies too.. but mmm... decided against it when i remembered i was ahh.... supposed to be on a diet. *cough* well, a few hours break from the diet won't kill me. *goes on defensive*

Was contemplating if I should visit mother on CNY but decided against it. NOt interested in getting scolded on the first day of CNY. i WAS filial ( is that how you spell the word? Gee. )enough to send her an SMS from Singnet's site. *shrug* at least a "happy CNY mom".. wish i could see the annoyed look on her face tho. I love spoiling her day *beam*

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.
