A walk to remember

Woke up at about 10.30am, read the sms on my phone, replied and went back to sleep again. The next time I woke up, it was already 3pm.

Decided to take a walk over to Macleod train station today. One of my to-do list is to learn how to walk to/from the train station. Others include buying a pair of jeans, boxers and volleys (shoes), and spending a whole day with V, doing nothing but rotting at home, reading or watching the telly, just enjoying each other's company. Unfortunately, none of these has been fulfilled. After about 1/3 of my journey to the train station, I got lost. I had to backtrack a little. I arrvied the train station and waited for 15 minutes for the train. The frequency for the train on Sundays was 20 minutes. The journey itself took 28 minutes to get to the city. In comparison, the frequency for the tram on Sunday is 12 minutes and the journey to the city's 45 to 50 minutes.

Met up with William and Nicholas. Walked around the city and had dinner over at the Japanese restaraunt at QV mall. Went over to Lygon street for Koko Black thereafter. As usual, I couldn't maange to finish the things I ordered at Koko Black. Headed over to Crown to walk and ended up at the arcade. Played a game of DDR, all thanks to William. I was bad at it. Think I would rather play ParaPara instead. Haha...

I took the train home as I was near the train station and the next train departing was pretty soon, so why not? After arriving back at Macleod station, there was 2 paths and I didn't know which to take, especially when it was so dark. The streets here and so different from back home, more so in the suburbs. In Singapore, everywhere is lighted but in the suburbs here, the street lamps are spread out quite far apart and the lamps are not bright, it seems like those energy saving bulbs sorta. I ended up somewhere else which I didn't know. Walking alone on a cold quiet night and being lost isn't a very good feeling - it's scary. After walking for a little more, I managed to see La Trobe Secondary College. I was a little relieved though. Called the security but they couldn't fetch me from there and asked me to walk a little more to Barnes Way and they could pick me up from there instead. I called Chris hoping that he could help as least by giving me directions, but he wasn't of any help. And to think that he was online. Well, just no effort put in, I guess. I would have at least looked up the map.

Oh well, went over to Martin's for a short while. He had completed his Lego Technics truck and it was very nice, big and heavy. Left his house and went home. It's so nice to be remembered. Was reading pL's blog just now and he mentioned about me. Even though it's not much, just a sentence or so, it meant so much to me.

Time for bed now. I'll be heading over to Ikea tomorrow with Marin. He needs a table while I need a shoe rack. Lunch at Ikea as well. Sweedish meatballs! Hoping that the days, weeks and months ahead would be very much better. V's taking the hazard perception testion tomorrow. Wishing that that V would pass it. I'll be taking it sometime soon as well, I guess. Goodnight peeps!
