Another EPPA (I know its funny) get-together has been organized on the 12th of this month at the school premises (Digna Village) 10am onwards. There is supposed to be Cricket, swimming, DJ music, food stalls and drinks...Members free entrance and non members Rs.250...of course you can register yourself at the entrance by paying Rs.750 for the rest of the year for free entrance to all other events organized this year....

 

I hope there would be a good crowd on the 12th...anyone who can come please do...the last time I was in Kandy was for Tharani's funeral...I hope to see as many EPP's as possible this time...

Here are some pic's from the Ecole old students get-together...these pics were downloaded from Prem's website a long time back....recently when I was searching for these same pics in his site I couldn't find it...there are some people who are pestering me to see those pics so here u go....I put this in a hurry so there are no annotations...

Well…I took advantage of Monday being a holiday and extended it a bit more by taking Tuesday off to just relax and have a good time in N’eliya. What do you know…we had more fun and action that drained any remaining energy I had left!!

 

It all started when Kisho invited us (Abdul and me) to his house in Ragala (N’eliya)…we wanted it to be a bit more exciting so we thought of traveling to Ragala in our bikes…just like the last time…plan was for Abdul and my self to go to Kandy in our bikes…rest at our friends place there, pick Kisho in town and go to N’eliya. As usual we got late in Kandy…lost in the beauty of the place that we were born in which kept holding us back…when we finally did decide to leave Kandy it was pretty late…the rest of the journey and all the way back was really long story..in short…we were almost killed by a wild elephant…went off the hill because the elephant was chasing after us (It was nearly 11:30 in the night…pitch-dark)…met my death bend for the 2^nd time...got wet in the rain...very very cold in N’eliya…next time we are not going to listen to Kisho and take a shortcut he recommends (glad we are alive)…a snake went right under our feet and we almost trampled it when we walked through the tea estate…took the longest, wettest, muddiest ride from Ragala to N’eliya in the evening… had the funniest and most badly planned BBQ in history…a guy knocked down my bike WHILE it was PARKED outside the hotel we had lunch in!!! I had to spend an extra day in Kandy because of that…the last little adventure was Abdul bowing down to the guys who were RIP in a cemetery on the way to Colombo…got late come to Colombo..there were so many other things that happened which cannot be said here…it was just as fun as some of the things I have said here…

 

That was the worst vacation I have ever had…but it was undoubtedly just another usual mess we get into when we do something planned…it has been that way when we were schooling and is going to be that way no matter what we do…we are just attracted to bad luck…sometimes we just go chasing after it…it would have been nice if the rest of our little group was here…but unfortunately some are in Singapore, UK, Australia and the working in Colombo…hope you guys are having as much fun as we are..hope to see all of you together sometime soon…have fun and take a look at the pics from the trip…cheers!
