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.
