It's going to be PL's 21st birthday in a few minutes time. Although we aren't going to be celebrating for her on her birthday, I'm sure she'll have a very enjoyable day with her family. Happy 21st, my dear girl.

I had a 1 hour plus shopping trip with my sister in the afternoon. Can't remember when's the last time we went out together. Got some stuff for the upcoming interviews. Feeling nervous.

Talked to PL and SF just now after the meeting. We were having dinner and talking about various things again. Then I talked about my feeling inadequate. SF said some things which I pondered upon and thought to be quite true. I really need more confidence. I can do many things that I think I can't.

Really feel grateful to have friends like them who are always by my side to give constructive criticism and endless encouragement. I was feeling very touched just now actually. Do feel much better after the pep talk.

Thanks for everything.
