it has been a long time since there has been an entry. and i suppose lots of stuff have happened - both to me and to the people around me. ok lots of stuff is probably an exaggeration. but some stuff is bound to have happened. like knowing you cant drive to save your life, like getting silver for ippt (which is like a HUGE thing for someone like me), like realising you can suddenly do 12 pull-ups haha.

in a way life is getting better because i am going to pass out soon (: and they are nicer to us, though i aint sure it's because we are getting better, knowing our stuff or they are just getting sian and tired. or maybe it dawned onto them that we could screw up our 'missions'. on purpose. and as we all know, it's a TEAM. haha.

ok. enough about the army. before i get charged or something.

weekends have been pretty interesting, with more people able to make time these few weeks haha. and i guess it's pretty interesting to see who gets what scholarships, who is going where and so on and so forth. u have suhas the dpp that strikes fear in us lawyers haha. asp imran who gets the guys to suhas. a couple of dozens of lawyers like ays, me, audris, er many others who enter the courtroom to see and fight suhas. navjote the civil servant who maybe helps the govt decide who to sue. dnet the businesswoman who decides she wants nothing of this legal bull. and jonathan kang the astar scientist. then there are also the many aspiring enginners of all fields living with me in my bunk. who also want nothing of this legal bull.

haha. ok of course i m crapping. a little. i mean it's what 6, 8 years before we actually begin to map out our careers and anything can happen in these years. mncs buy your bond, you decide you have enough of this legal bull and this country, you erm elope, you have an overwhelming sense of public service and (god forbids) sign on, you -touchwood- fail your exams, you change your mind and apply for another university/course in the next 2 years for the guys. yes. the future is a mystery. ane we cannot truly assure ourselves of what it can bring. then i guess there are many others who have no idea as of now what they want to do, post rejection, or perhaps they havent even applied for a uni yet.

ok enough crap for this entry. gotta book in in 2 hours =(. but aint that bad cos it is driving again from mon to wed. yet no one likes to book in anw. do you?

aha i GOT INTO LAW SCHOOL. which is really a huge thing for me i suppose given my not too good results. so hurrah. things are looking up i suppose and it has been a good week. loads of admin time, just received my pay + BACKPAY woohoo and ippt trial went well.

ok so i will go take law in 2 years time, unless, as i told ays,i spend my free time reading up and get sick of law, or ns happens to make me become so awfully sick of this country.

ok ippt is 2mr, i hope i get my silver! and next week will b tough, according to the specs. sigh.

alright. it's mother's day today. here's wishing all mummies a happiest mother's day. (:

the past one week seems surreal - to an extent. and i dont really mean what has had happened in the army. i mean everything there's so predictable. unless you count the pc not punishing us after standby bed as something surreal. or perhaps me being able to finish fifth in the plt for the 8km run despite clocking a time of 51 minutes as surreal. more of unbelievable really. or a reflection of the existence of very unfit personnel in my plt. haha. o well nothing's going on in camp. i am sure no one is keen to noe anw. haha.

but yea. the phonecall on thurs - tt was totally unbelievable. i mean after that news article on saturday? i mean after reading it i have kinda given up hope already. but yea i am truly lucky i suppose and i hope that the luck doesnt run out. the interview went fine. they were all pretty nice and all, though perhaps fiery and quick at certain points of time, and hopefully i handled the questions well. (: What truly befuddles me though is how when any person finds out you are a debater, they arent really interested in how you have matured, what you have learnt, how much you have won, but they are most interested in what you think of uwc winning local schools in the arena. 2 interviews. 2 same qns. cld u believe it? they led to different further sub questions, but tt's not the pt. haha.

whatever the case is, i hope that the luck keeps coming and i do get in. (: Cos the written paper wasnt spectacular for me.

and then there was the surprise party that navjote planned that left me feeling like the biggest jerk in town. i mean my birthday's over, i hadnt expected it and i was under impression that i was only meeting nav for dinner that day! and yea it caused him a HUGE load of trouble i suppose and i am very very SORRY nav. It turned out REAL well in the end and though i wasnt surprised at your house, i was definitely in shock when snee told me on the phone. it was truly, truly, truly a very nice gesture and i m very touched (: So thanks a million for the party, definitely one that i will never forget. and now ajit has to send me the photos!

Thank you very much as well to those who turned up, to those who wanted to but didnt in the end due to me being a jerk haha. And the great, interesting, lovely presents that you gave me. thanks so much. and the food & cake was great too! haha.

i have never had a surprise birthday party before so last sat was truly a shock (in a good way) haha. AND to think i almost/kinda screwed it up.

Yes it's may day today, so hurrah.
