There is workload piling up as the semester progresses. There is so much of stuff covered and it is a bit hard to keep up with the pace though i have somehow managed it. Cant remember wat happened last week but a few events do stay fresh in my memory. Finally did my ippt, tt i was trg for the past three weeks. Well, i am very disappointed with my fitness. First of all, this is the first time in my life had i not gotten a gold. And not jus tt, i knew i might not be gold calibre before the test but i really expected at least a silver. But no, didnt even get silver. Instead it was an incentive, similar to bronze! Not entirely my fault tt this happened. My sweaty palms were the cause for me to fall off the pull up bar which was quite slippery though i tot it was like a better material than the normal traditional metal bar. Was really pissed cos i usually adjust at the pull up bar itself when i m at ard 6 or 7. And i do 3 more at least after tt. I did 11 the last time i did it which was two months back. But somehow i couldnt hold the bar back when one of my hands gave way from the bar. Only did 7. One more pull and i would have gotten a silver cos it would have given me an additional point which is an overall silver. Damn!!! Ok wat was my fault was my running. I never did anything above 8.30 min for the past dunno how many yrs. This time i really tot i did well cos i was panting like shit and felt tt i was running fast. But the timing i got was a flat 10.00min. It might be a satisfactory timing for most but being a runner during my secondary, jc and army days, i think this timing really shows how much i have detoriated. One thing tt i was proud of myself was when i realised i was more well built than 80percent of them there. All the gyming did help me to shape up my body in such a way n i feel gd abt it! But guess since i wun be runnin now after ippt, fats will start to develope again in unwanted regions tt i managed to lose due to running. Maybe i should continue runnin once in awhile eh!

After ippt on sat, i didnt rest cos had to go for Ashwini's unofficial b dae celebration at east coast. Finally got to drive the car after like 2months. The car was with my first sister all this while cos her car got towed away and she needed the car for her goods to be delivered. Also she was allowed to use the car for such a long period due to her pregnancy. If not for tt, the car would have been mine long time ago. Anyway back to saturday. I drove to east coast to practise my driving. I think i have lost quite a bit of skill from the last time cos i used to be very smooth and safe. I feel both these factors have gone down. I dun feel tt safe when i am driving though my frens did said tt it was not bad at all. Guess i need more practise. And the roads are all quite confusing though i can remember a few routes. There is lots more to memorise still!

Played touch rugby at east coast with ashwini and gang. Was really fun cos been long time since we played it and we did play all out. so yea, enjoyed a lot though i was freakin tired cos of ippt earlier tt day. Didnt study properly at night as i was too tired. But didnt jus relax, instead i did some revision so tts worth mentioning. Haha.

Ok wat happened on Sunday was the most unforgottable times in my life so far. We all went down to beatty sec to play soccer. Well as for the match, our formation was totally jumbled and i was playin attacking midfield tt day. We let in four goals and all the goals were very pathetically let in by our stupid mistakes. Our worse defending so far i must mention cos i wasnt happy with how the defence was working. I did get to score a goal which was due to the opponents mistake at the penalty box. Not a goal of any skill or wat. Just happened to be at the right place at the right time. Missed a couple of shots in which i should have converted one in but i kicked the ball as if i never played soccer before. Letchmanan who passed the ball to me was pissed from his looks cos tt kindaf balls should never be missed.

Anyway, the match was not the infamous incident but it was wat happened after tt. We all were discussing abt our tactics and tts when suvin went to his bag to check for his phone. Suddenly he sounded out saying his wallet and phone were missing. Initially i tot he misplaced it and wanted to ask him to look for it again. But krish suddenly voiced out tt his belongings were also missing. Didnt stop there. It was followed by sara's belongings and letchmanan's belongings. We did call for police and all and reported the entire incident. But during tt time 2000 dollars was transacted from Letchmanan's account cos he happened to save his password in his hp. Another sum of money was used thru purchase of some gd at a shopping ctr worth a few hundreds. The matter was getting very serious after we heard abt these transactions. Went to the st georges lane to check the dustbins down there for the wallets as that was way the final transaction was made, but to no avail. Haiz. Feel really sorry for krish and letchmanan especially cos they lost the most. My stuff was safely intact cos i placed my bag at a sightful place during the match. Well, this is an expensive lesson that we should learn as krishna said. This is why we shouldnt take the line, "never leave ur things unattended", lightly!

Been very irritated with the way the police worked during that day. I know tt there is tt much tt they could do but with the little tt they could afford to do, they didnt do it properly. Dun wish to comment abt it here as its not safe to do so! anyway, this week i am tring my best to keep up with sch's pace and so far it is goin well. Jus tt i find my tue very hectic as i only get one hr break despite it being one of my longest day. But yea, wed is a break for me this sem so i think a few sacrifices need to be made. Cny is coming which means long break. Shall put it to good use. Adiyos for now!
