My horse riding lesson again =D

Today it snowed when we are having our lesson! Hence, we started with rounds and rounds of trotting to warm up.

Rachel took over our class and I am happy that improver class has shifted earlier, reducing the sufferings of darkness and coldness :P

I grabbed Oslo the second I saw him at the gate waiting to go in. Yes! I am just more confident riding him as I know I wont fall and he will never be mad. LOL

We did try standing up today while walking and trotting to develop individual balancing so that we wont tripped over if the horse loses its balance. I did quite well on that and Oslo's thick mane is just so helpful. This is because we were told to hold the horses' mane to help us on standing up instead of applying force on reins. So, Oslo's thick mane is able to provide good grip :P

Then, we did again the walking and sitting trot without stirrup to help us to sit more into the saddle and we should feel that the stirrups are shorter after that. I wasn't that able to sit in and put my legs really down, maybe due to my habit of rising on stirrups when trotting.

Oh.. and finally today, I learned how to not letting my stirrups to slip forward when trotting. It always irritates me as this causes rising to be hard and just weird. Rachel told me to put the heel down and after a while, it really becomes better ^^

Then, we did 4 times of cantering but this time around with more controls. We started with sitting trot, then ask for cantering at the first corner, go back to trotting on the next corner and stop the horse to walking in between 2nd corner and 3rd corner. She said we need to put the outside leg back and kick using inside leg to ask for cantering but I just cant figure it out how so I just did the normal way I do (which I think is wrong now :P). But, today cantering is good. I get into proper canters even though the distance allowed is still short ;)

And, the best thing is Rachel praised me for my position! She said 'You have a lovely position there. Do you come for private lessons?' Hoho.. So SS now :P =D

I got my hoodie and gloves too just now. Dun like the hoodie . TOo big and poor quality compared to last year. The gloves are good, it fits well and come in a resealable bag so can dump it in the bag everytime after using without contaminating other things.

1st Horseriding in spring term & yinling is flying tonight

The good thing is finally I got to ride OSLO!!! miss him so much! He is good today but as usual, he tends to slow down in cantering >< , so the canter becomes a bit bouncy.
Vicky wasn't the instructor on Saturday class. Sara took over in our class, not entirely ours as we joined some kids. Ya!! Some of them are even better than me! huhu.. After the class, one of the girls actually said that today's class is a bit boring and she is asking to join some class involving jumping ><''
But, I have to agree with her. I felt that it has been plateau since the last beginner lesson. It has always been walking, trotting in group at most changing reins, then individual cantering. I felt that we did more last year. Hmmm.. maybe having a less hectic lesson after a month break is a good thing. And, after so many canterings, I am bold enough to have a go with cantering now whenever I have a chance. So, overall, ya, still good but hoping to get better^^

Time flies. Yin ling has finished her 2-and-a-half year which is half of her medicine course in Ireland. She is going to fly back tonight and resident in penang after that... sob sob T_T
So fast! so fast!!! I guess she has done most of things on the lists and can create another list when back at home (such as trips to indon, taiwan, sipadan, watching dvd murah... ) ;) oh.. and she said she misses the UK more than Ireland.. heh heh XD

Safe journey and enjoy the flightS. KEEP IN TOUCH ok.. I am gonna send you long long fb msg and you have to reply it promptly :P
ya.. I will add quirky facts .. heh heh..

take care yinling!
hugsssSSSS

blissfully calm

a.k.a lazying all i want! =)

wanna have an entry so that i wont see the emo, depressed entry of previous everytime i open my blog.

So, after yesterday paper, i started to calm down and go back to previous normal me. To avoid sitting inside the room just with my laptop and being a loner, i decided to go to groceries with tzen and we went out to an indian restaurant for dinner ^^

After that, to add on some fun to our liberation night, we made cupcakes! The whole purpose of doing so is that we want to decorate an evil face representing NAJ! heh heh

That's the cupcakes of our faces. ~me, evil naj, spec likky and tzen~

Today, finally I get to watch Julie&Julia! yes! yinling, i just watched it! it is so heart-warming and loving! I like Julia's pearl necklace^^

A Good Day -- pony game + tai chi social + xmas carol 3D !!!

My first christmas pony game. We did 3 races. First was trotting between poles, second is the one picking up cup on second poles and put it on the last poles then run back while the last one is a team race. I din win anything but it was a good experience! I guess I wasnt confident enough to go for it. After this pony game, I learnt that we should just do it anyhow, dont be afraid of anything! hahahha

Then, it is the tai chi social. Just had a buffet at big wok. It is also the first society social that I went. With other society, I cant be bothered to go for their social cos most of the time it is quite hard to fit in I find. However, since taichi only has 16 members, so we kinda know each other better plus they are also a bunch of interesting ppl, thus, I am happy to join it. This is the good side of a small society I guess ;) David--the going -to -learn- shaolin kungfu- in -somewhere -near- shandong italian, is the funny one again. He came out with sth like 'my hp turned on itself at night and the light is like UFO! 'LOL. Then, 'chinese are crazy', me and jennifer : " oh, so we are crazy" hahahha

After that, they all go for a pint at the bar. Me and jennifer went for xmas carol 3D!!! So festive feeling now that I want a big fat turkey roast for christmas dinner!!! the songs are good too!

A great day today starting from pony game ;) Good for my stress level too I guess. hehe

oh.. next time, I think I should join them at the bar, making the social complete. LOL

The 3rd year in Uni, finally, there is the feeling of uni life ^^
