here’s wishing MARIE and happy belated 22nd birthday!! =D
__________
i’ve this thing going on tonight. i hope it goes well, and i hope i come off right. and i hope i dont get too freaked out. it’s been awhile since i’ve spoken to or appeared in front a large group of people. at least i’ll be helping answer questions related to a topic im familiar with.
i also hope that people understand where we horsey folk are coming from.
—-> EDIT
and they did.
__________
come here..
i want to jump. kinda like this.
i just want the courage – to not be constantly freaking out. i can totally picture it. i just need the whole mind over matter thing going.
_________
no really, open up..
Sometimes i think about it and oh my…I hate being a girl. I’m cramping . DAMMIT.
I rode Charlotte this morning and okay, I’m not in the best of moods but oh my goodness, I’m seriously annoyed, I don’t know why she naps with me. I need someone with me to check me. My one student whom I assign Charlotte rides her and they both just fly and gel so well. The advanced people that Sandra takes are fine in her, I mean okay she doesn’t nap as far as I know, but with me, oh wow. Shucks. Okay she’s not bucking or rearing this time but she just stops dead and looks around at the center, X and at random places. Perhaps one corner and the rest of them are random stop spots. Wah lao. To think she worked like a charm with me before, hmmmph!
I rode Albarj yesterday and oh he is one fine pony…okay, quick, but nice! I need to lunge Blaze and Mr Cool later. For now, I’m just chilling.
This weekend starting from tonight is looking good, dinner with Selina tonight, tiffy’s 21st tomorrow and Sunday night!
Humple dumple!
_________
Just sit.
again, i dont bite.
_______
dad and i are plotting to get tauhuay later.. =D muahahahaa!!!
_______
so addicted.
sometimes, i think there’s a connection people have after they know each other for a while. i dont suppose i’ve thought about it in so much detail, but yeah. hmm, like ethel, ‘manda, aunty lina and i. i dont claim to know them THAT well, but really, i think we know each other well enough. there are some things that we do and dont do together.
dinner was with ‘manda and mom at waraku pasta at central. i liked it. and dessert at the explosion place! =D azabu sabo..hahahaa!! strange name.
___________
work this morning was EXCELLENT. charlotte had a good workout. i think next time, when there’s no more bulldozing outside, we should bring charlotte outside. i think she’ll enjoy the space. she might get excited, but i really think it’ll do her good. she takes time, charlotte 
ben didnt have a bad week, tuesday, wednesday and this morning. =D im glad the rider combinations with ben are working.
jorden. i like him, he takes some getting used to and he’s quite a school horse, im not being judgemental, he’s got his moments, but usually, he’s a fair ride. as usual, think ahead.
as usual, tomorrow – friday- is a busy as day for me. i hope i get to work on charlotte with sandra. and i hope she gives me a fair shot. we’ve both got a gap time so i hope i lunge mr cool in time to give charlotte abit of a workout. i also hope that i have fewer accidents/risk of accidents. i really think something should be done about the ponies, they’re actually nice lads, just need to be properly ridden. =D
___________
also earlier this week, i met tiffy and simun, im so glad i met them 
i’ve missed uwa and yeah, i guess i havent said anything in a while but i miss australia. everything about it. even the weird-but-punctual bus services. i miss perth, cott, aunty freida, adrian and his quirky comments (like “no drugs, no sex – you’ll be alright!”), the ciminatas and allison. being able to walk to the gas station to get freddo for jacquin. i miss queuing for fries and chilli at the ref in uni. i miss crashing on sharon’s bean bag and hanging with anuar, fei, john and elsie. hmmph.
___________
say hi, i dont bite.
and really, i think im nice. it’s just that people get it wrong all the time. i think i appeal more to people over 10.
Tall and tanned and young and lovely
the girl from Ipanema goes walking
and when she passes
each man she passes goes Aaah!
When she moves it’s like a samba
that swings so cool and sways so gently
that when she passes
each man she passes goes Aaah!
Oh – but he watches so sadly
How – can he tell her he loves her
He – would just give his heart gladly
But each day when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead not at him
Tall and tanned and young and lovely
the girl from Ipanema goes walking
and when she passes he smiles
but she doesn’t see
no she doesn’t see, she just doesn’t see…

come into my world…
i decided to borrow this from abby –>
“i ride horses because when i do, i feel God’s glory. i ride horses because they teach me how to trust someone able to see and understand more than themselves, to lead them step by step, until we’re both dancing together. i ride horses because when i doubt our capability of taking on a jump that seems too high to clear, their faith in the way God made them drives us both over that fence in victory.”
i think it’s true. perhaps not in such a religious way for all of us, but yeah.. =D so very true. we just take them for granted all the time.
im looking forward to meeting sandra, the instructor. i hope we learn from each other..
well, HK was a good trip, facebook for pictures, i managed to find out what i wanted and i hope the trip in may works out.
since coming back, i’ve been back at work and i got back in touch with the horses. in particular, mr cool. he’s really is a handful, not BAD but you know, is quite a handful for a kid. and for me to lunge when he’s not been out in a couple of days. he’s cute fellow! =D i’ve gotten back on rocky and i hope to get back on charlotte. she’s SO not been out. and yeah, i think she needs abit of a ride from time to time.
yesterday, we went to the turf club at kranji and it was a GOOD one! =D we rode at the riding center too! good experience!
this is poise and this is aspiration.
soft contact..
and this is AMAZING! it’s a dressage zebra!
email me if anything, and you’re welcome to sms me! =D
