LIBRARY = MAJOR HORSIE BOOKS OVERLOADhaha. okay so yesterday me n caro went to d new library at bugis. BIGGIE WOW-IE. it is soooooooooo HUGEE!!! and d central lending library mite only be on b1 but it took us 4eva to find d sports section (behind d finance section...) haha. in d end we asked a librarian who told us... WE FOUND LIKE 2 SHELVES OF RIDING BOOKS!!!!! it may sound pitiful but considering this is s'pore that is sooooo rare. so we looked for nice books and sat there to read 'em 4 a while (there were NO SEATS!! sooo crowded!!!) and then we borrowed a book each. so after we finish reading the books, we'll trade and read d rest!!! haha. then i went 2 pick up this book my mum wanted: "health hazards of white sugar" i have a bad feeling that once she finishes reading it... NO MORE WHITE SUGAR!!! we'll be eating BROWN SUGAR!!! it's not d same!!! Brown sugar is HORRID!!! blah. oh well... then on d way to d teen fiction section we came across d "animal" section. where we found HORSE BOOKS!!! we each borrowed a book there too. i ended up borrowing d HUGEST BOOK in d entire section!!! i juz weighed it and it's 6kg!!! haha. LOL!! but it is sooo worth d trouble!!! it's got such nice pics and interesting facts and stuff in it!! haha. so then we went to d teen book section and borrow a few books there too. but they didn't have nice horse story books :( then after we went to this exhibition on d 9th floor abt family trees and all. quite interresting...
oh i think i mite have strained my back or smt during gym cuz when i jumped on d tramp everytime i landed my back kinda hurt... oh wells. hope it gets well soon. have to compete due to lack of red house ppl in gym... *sigh*

haha. ok fine. i admit i'm LAZY. so a short post abt sat's lesson and other stuff...
Sat was a blah lesson. Wasn't one of my best. Jun was on little red (envy envy) viv on sonny (she was soooooooooooooooooooooooo happy!!!) Sanjana was on biscuit and i rode James. he was okay i guess. he doesn't have a nice canter. trot is okay. and he likes to cut d corners (my inside leg hurt after d lesson!) but he does have a nice "marching" walk.... and he's easy to get into walk and trot... sue was on leave so we got beccy instead. she was quite nice and she did interesting stuff like all of us turning at d same time but instead of going d other way, at d end u juz stay on d same rein so we switched lead files a few times.
GAHHH. sarah juz told me that i have to compete 4 d inter house gym comp!!! that is sooooo not fair!!! i have sooo barely practised!!! i have to teach d sec 1s with NO ONE to help me. James juz sits around during prac. Blah him. plus the comp is in like er... 4 lessons???? no!!! oh wait 3 lessons!!! there is d staff seminar thingy so we get early day on friday (YAY!!) and no gym prac on sat!!! ooooh!! bad bad bad!!! ... well at least i get CCA points... nway, i gtg. that's a long enough post soooo bb :)

Reasons why i prefer jumping to dressage:
1) i LUV all d jumping horses (Bobby, Little Red, Kampong Boy etc.)
2) The canter is my FAV gait
3) i feel absolutely comfortable in d 2 point position (weird huh? plus there is NONE of this in dressage)
4) i luv going REALLY fast yet not like racehorse fast...
5) d thing i look 4ward to in camps is JUMPING
6) d thing i look 4ward to at rider's lodge trips are d JUMPING LESSONS
7) i dun really like trotting ( of which there is ALOT in dressage)
8) when i search 4 riding stuff on d internet i always put "showjumping" 1st b4 i look 4 "dressage"
9) i prefer horses that need to b half-halted and slowed to horses that neet to b push and "strongly" urged to move faster (thxs chun 4 helping me think of this... )
10) I LUV RUSHING AND SPEED AND ALL D ADRENALINE!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

OH!!! MY!!! GOD!!! I like just found out who created my blogskin!!! It's REBECCA ( i think that's how u spell her name...) !!!! D girl who used to ride with me n viv at d tues class!!! D girl who did d dressage to music w/ fancy dress event (prelim) with judith ( d girl who leases irish) !! Doing d men in black theme!!! I'm still in shock!!! It's such a small world afterall...
Oh and riding was soooooooooooooo good!!! I was riding little red, viv was riding albert, jun was on oatie and tirtha joined our class riding biscuit. chun n fei came to watch d lesson. soo we all warmed up then sue was like "we'll do alot of work witout stirrups 2day" : ( soo we put our stirrups on d horses' shoulders and we started trotting. Thankfully Sue didn't make us do rising trot or jumping position. AND WE CANTERED WITHOUT STIRRUPS!!!!!!! : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) Little Red is a DREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!
Then Sue was like "okay now we r going to switch horses" : ( plus i got albert. : ( rite? irony is: I ACTUALLY LIKED ALBERT!!! ALOT!!! Me and viv switched whips cuz viv had a long one(sue lent her's to her) and i had a shorter one. Then jun got on biscuit. viv on oatie, and tirtha was on little red. Albert was A DREAM!!!!!!!! he was all fresh and when albert is fresh, he is about d equivalent of a normal horse (being d lazy, "dun wanna move an inch" horse that he is." ). that is, except in canter. BUT HE WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOD NWAY!!!!!! HE IS SOOOOOOOO NICE TO RIDE WHEN U GET HIM GOING!!! JUST LIKE BOBBY (except a more hard core version...) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) PLUS I CANTERED HIM TWICE. AND HE WENT REALLY FAST!!!!!!!! (IF MY HAIR WASN"T TIED, IT WOULD PROB GO STREAMING BEHIND ME LIKE A FLAG OR SMT... LOL!!!) Once with and once without stirrups. Now i can see why ppl like morven robertson ( i think) can get 2nd place on him 4 walk-trot. And why all d instructors like him toooooooo. HOPE I GET HIM FRESH NEXT TIME I RIDE HIM!!! HE IS SOOOOO NICE!!!!!! BIG WOOLY MAMMOTH!!! AND HE IS SOOOOOOO SWEET WHEN U BATHE HIM!!! He goes all cute and all!!! awwwwwwwwww...
After riding mum picked me up with all my sibs and we went to Taka 4 dinner and then kinokuniya to get books cuz kino is having a sale. I STOCKED UP ON LOTSA HORSE BOOKS!!! Even got "Chicken Soup 4 D Horses Lover's Soul" (highly reccomended by Fei) soo now i'm "armed" in case i got another one of those "I NEED NEED NEED TO RIDE" moods. LOL!!! Oh, and i didn't even miss Black Beauty!!! i got my mum to tape it soo i can watch it later :) and over and over again too!!! :)
