:: a field day at work! ::armed with sheafs of brightly colored yellow and green questionnaires, huge water bottles and a thousand and one other paraphernalia, we descended into toa payoh central to conduct our house-to-house surveys!!! previously, D, EW, SM, R, Wenky, hypoC and i were involved in the assembly line in school, frantically stapling the questionnnaires and organising all the papers into neat envelopes for our fellow grp mates... while we were progressing at a good rate, i suppose HS was dreaming of W&G... or maybe dreaming that he was either Will/Grace and lulu was worrying about me getting stapled wings... : / !!!
later on we all squashed into the back of Wenky's van... it's so much nicer now, with carpets and huge pillows, gives it a very roomy feel... anyway, SM was fiddling with something hanging fr the back door and EW was dearly worried that the back doors would be flung wide open and 'eject' them both! D was trying to take candid photos of pple, so as to 'blackmail' them. he got one of me looking v blur and shocked, but i guess that's my very normal look, so he won't be able to extort any $ out of me! HA! meanwhile i was hanging to the boxes of questionnaires that threatened to topple over me. ha... v fun ride...
finally, we got down to work ard 2pm or so... i got the 4rm flats, and quite a few households weren't in, so quite hard to do much... but in the end i got abt 5/16... not that bad... met some really interesting people... even had a person with suicidal thoughts, i'm glad she's got some social workers vising her! there was this really interesting teacher with hehe... swollen mouth! lolz... but still very very chatty... and u know what Wenky n mr ye, she actually RANG UP NUS medfac to ask them about this project! and thankfully, the not-so-clueless medfac told her we're going about doing surveys today... later on HS and i met her again, and she asked for our names... oops.. haha... so boh liao anyway... she must be so free, she has nothing else better to do!
surveys are better done in the evening or at night where most people are at home and have had dinner... most are quite inclined to help. generally, i found the malay and indian households quite nice, rejection rates are normally low... and in two instances, i was even invited into their homes! as for chinese, bu4yong4duo1shuo1 le... rejection rates are higher and some seem really incapable of trusting people. hmmm generally, i feel that those in 4rms were more likely to do surveys rather than those in 3rms... not that sure why though... anyway, sometimes when i give out that freebie thingy, i wonder... do they listen to classical music? and more importantly, do they have a cd player?
HS kept kana-ing long winded women... ho ho ho... i think he looks like the type that women can confide to or chat with eh? teehee...
