My Love for Horseriding

 

Hiya all.. I'm guilty of having too much fun especially with the exams next week!!

Finally took some pics from my horseriding.. you can view it the the link below... it's been such great fun!! But next sunday is gonna be my last lesson.. i'm really sad.. i've grown to love the horses.. especially Nuzzle, the Horse i'm riding on... ever since i started... he is named "Nuzzle" because he is fond of nuzzling the other horses' butt.. haha.. then get kick at occasionally.. but he such a sweet, tamed, obenient horse.. i love him!!



I wanna own my own horse.. I wanna be able to control the horse.. to throttle, to gallop, to run free... now only confine to the area of a basketball court is not very fulfilling...

Oh man but sentosa ranch is undergoing renovation and will only be re-opened next year Jan.. I'm gonna miss horseriding.. then due to financial constraint.. can join the Saddle Club or the Polp Club either.. we'll see... It's a sport i'll definitely like to continue to pursue! Now concentrate on fencing then combine them haha.. become my own knight in shinning armour! ;)

Day 1 at Hm in preparation for Exams

 

Now watching Ac Milan Vs Liverpool!! I am for Milan.. having a bet with Alvin... if I win he is buying me lunch! U wait and see.. i'm getting a free lunch.. :P.. & Paulo Maldini scores!! so early while i was writing... he is so cute by the way.. hee hee

Today was so so.. I had to fight the temptation of heading out to catch a movie with the gang, the going out for dinner with my cousin, the going out for supper with "Mr. you know who"... I'm cooped up all day at Hm!!!!!!!! Urgh!!!!! But at least i made progress with my work... :D

It was definitely not a quiet day at hm either... got a call early this morning from an insurance company for an insurance sort of job.. no way.. waste time... then later I forgot to submit some application form and had a call from the company to email it straight away.. then ling came over my place to hang out.. I was suppose to go swimming with my bro.. then later my boredom led me to gobble down a cheesecake.. now my guilty pangs strikes!

Wah exciting match.. i'm off to watch liaoz.. ta ta!!

Football Game of Life

 

Weekend Takings!

 

First, it was hanging out at Beach Bar to watch Soccer.. FA Cup Finals.. Man U score 4 Vs Arsenal scoring 5!! Woo Hoo!!!! Arsenal!!!

Spizza for Friends.. It is indeed...Yummy!!

 

Tonite i headed to Spizza for friends at Balmoral Plaza with "Uncle" for some italian pizza... It was great!! Along with some calamari... you all should head there to try too! The pizza has a thin crust and they are named after italian women... We tried the one with mushrooms, ham, cheese and olives... the cheese serving was generous... got standard! Along with the cool uniforms of the waiter & waitresses of red and black... nice ambience and reasonable price.. a good place to lay back... relax.. chat the nite away.. Highly recommended for those who wanna do long girly chat

Pricing wise; 1 medium size pizza for $15 and a large one for $18... then the calamari was crispy for $8.. it's really value-for- money for a freshly made oven baked pizza rather then the ones we normally get at Pizzahut which is merely fast food, thick frozen crust just stuff into the oven. I can't stand it.. low quality and no taste except for the cheese... unless no choice.. if not i will never go there... Oh yeah, i also heard that Modestoes next to forum is really tasty too! Next time i'm heading there to try...

This is to reward myself for studying all day and after the big commotion of the sch's efforts to single us out for job hopping! Come on! The other highflyers also doing that lor.. isn't it a right for us to choose jobs... companies have to be competitive if they want to attract talents isn't it?! But nooo.. we ganna blacklisted! Given a choice.. u take the best one rite?! Then that time when we applied, we do recognized the problem and spoke to the HR person and she told us it is okie.. "just accept first and then if you change ur mind, just give us 1 month's notice"... Well, we gave her more than 1 month!! Then just wanna cover her own backside! Just push all the blame on us!! This is ridiculous and lame... watever.. what's done is done! This is frustrating!

Then I'm still waiting for my pictures from my sentosa outing and big walk... haiz... pple! when are ya gonna to send me?!

Now i'm study study study... hope i can finish revising on time... Urgh counting down to 3rd June then i'm like holiday holiday holiday!

Snippets That I Would Love To Share

 

This is wat Star Wars Have done to some:-
Aaron, James Pang & Teo in Unison: "Let's zap cockroaches up", "Sharon is going to use the light sabre in reserve", "Hungry, we are!"
But Maddy-cum-driver forbids due to blurging tummy & eyebags in full force..
Maddy replies:"Home, we must go!"

This is wat too much sun exposure does:-
Mel: "I am now chomped Ashanti if burnt"
Vivien: "Hey look at that.. haha.. that guy like sitting too exposed"(searching for things to laugh at.. this is how bo liaoz we are in reality)
Cheryl: "let's go soak in the water... can suntan faster" (it actually works!)
Joe: "I am burning into one Chao Tar Banana... haha"
The gals: end up photo-snapping all day... with dogs, with kids, with our "long island tea"
The guys: give up waiting for the toilet and changes outside in their DIY "towel changing room"
Lee at steamboat dinner: "The food is steamed..."

Disclaimer: The is in no means target at any persons in particular and by no means offensive.. meant for personal recapture of "zoi" moments! haha...

Moody or Hungover?

 

Last nite was a big party at Phuture.. Quite a few pple went... had a great time! the drinks helped too! haha... but i just had merely 2 drinks, which was good enough to keep me semi-sober... just 2! Can u believe it!? then morning wake up still felt the alcohol in my body... cannot wake up then had to be in class at 12pm... damn!.. then feeling shagged but then the hangover effects starts kicking in.. my stomach was tossing & turning.. then felt a heahache coming up plus nausal... feels like shit! but then breakie i went to get milo & a mash potatoe... then i felt better.. Um.. maybe it's not hangover but was just hungry i guess...

Then my bro using the car these few days.. really hard to get around... need to arrange with Dad to ferry me... haha... Dad's the bestest!

En Garde!

 

I have captivated by the sport of Fencing... to me it is a sport where there is such grace, precision and sophistication. To me it is a good training ground for me to cultivate my endurance, alertness, awareness, and reflexes.. good for physical training & keeping me fit & healthy! I am always up for a new challenge!

Today I meet a really great group of people at fencing... they are all very warm, encouraging and friendly. I got to learn the basics of the "En Garde" positions, lunging, attacking (thrust) and defending (parry)... they even wired & suited me up to try the real thing with the sword (the epee) with the mask, gloves and jacket. Being a newbie.. I need lots of practice.. doing with the pros.. haha.. I am like easy target! It's not easy.. to remember the moves, to keep the right posture.. it is true endurance as well for the legs... I hope i don't get aching legs tomorrow..

En Garde Position

Then Lee is back from Brunei! So we are all hang out at "Reski"... The prata place along Bendemeer Road… It's been a fav meeting point for the guys since sec sch! Most of the gang made it tonite.. for once! Haha... really great to have him back... but then by the time i went there.. I only ended fencing practice at 10:30pm.. so went there really late.. then meet up with Fabian also... wah it’s been like 8 years since I last saw him... still looking good too! ;)

Lee from our last partying... more coming up!! Woo Hoo!!

Was at sch in the afternoon with Jiayi.. haha.. both of us doing our last minute rush for our AT project.. my topic kinda cute, "Royal Hold Up at Royal Ahold: it even rhymes rite! Then we ended up taking some silly pictures of ourselves... yeah we love each other and we are getting more & more sentimental with sch... so been taking nearly every week! We even plan to have our "last lunch" at food haven this thur after our "last lesson in sch" which is AMA...

My New Blogskin

 

Hey pple.. as u have noticed.. i have changed my blogskin... inspired by Jia yi..
What do u think about it?.. well.... i love it! the colour, the butterflies, are all me me me!

My Dreams are but a Gallop Away

 

Today i went for my first 3 lessons on horseriding.. They are such stunning stallions, today the trainer got a greyish white one called "flash".. he is such a handsome creature, very playful as well as he nibble on the trainer's hair and tried to push & smell me when we had our hands-on for the grooming session... But then he decided to take a crap and phew!! i need not elaborate.. haha

Then off for a 2 hr break before our actual horseriding begin.. i went for some Anderson Ice-cream... banana nut crunch... oooh.. on a hot day.. i feel like i'm on holiday!

Back to the ranch, i got a brown horse.. oh did you know horses are really big and tall!! When i stand up, the horse's body is taller than me! so we needed a chair to mount on the horse.. that's part not too difficult. Later horses being animals, they are at times hard to control, mine in particular likes to follow closely with the horse infront and attempts to nibble on their mane.. haha.. We went a few rounds round the ranch.. learning to perfect the cues for start walking, left & right..

With the help of the trainer, we were taught to gallop.. oh man.. it's like ur butt bouncing uncontrollably as the horse gallop faster.. apparently you are suppose to use ur calf and stomach muscles to sit and half-stand in the right momentum as the horse. I got better on my 2nd try but after that it was time-up and time to go home. It was short but it was a such a enjoyment for me.

When i was younger my favourite book and story was "Black Beauty"... by taking up horseriding... it is like fulfilling my childhood fantasy... i love horses.. i always imagine myself owning my own horse, black or white one... one day... they are such a beauty, to ride one.. that is a step nearer to my dream.. Did i meet my prince charming today? Yes i did.. a few infact.. they come in a greyish white one and the rest are mainly brown... :D

Hours Just Flies By

 

On Day 2, which is on friday yesterday, we worked to give out thousands of caps.. and i would say we did a pretty good job! The Airport staff gave us a hand as well.. haha.. So just walk around and give out caps.. Just smile & look pretty.. the only tiring thing was that there wasn't any chairs so had the stand the whole time til my creative friends used one of the boxes as our stools.. haha.. not very glam!

But we had to tanhan the stock til 3pm then we could go.. so i was totally shagged.. i haven't had a wink of sleep and my legs are breaking! Then off hm.. managed to sneak in a short 1.5 hour nap b4 rushing off to my church activity at Temasek Hall at NUS..

Encounter Weekend.. where the mystery unfolds... Well, it was on a really taboo.. touching topic this camp... on um.. ask me to find out more! :P.. a very bold move, much much respected on the intention... it is something very real and not to be ignore in our generation. Yes.. strenghtening my faith and i feel that this is like a reaffirmation and a formalization of certain promises i have made.

Headed down the road for supper.. at 2:30am! Almost everyone went.. even though we had cup noodles & biscuits with us.. we opt for a better more savoury choice... But very disappointing.. A long wait, the prata turned out cold, mee goreng also not very nice... but it's the nearest! so heck lah!

I had an Egg & Cheese Prata btw, but so lousy.. i miss thomson prata.. & bomb... wah... my gastric juices are churning.. yummy!

Before you know it.. it's saturday nite alrdy... Time really flies... today was spent recuperating with lots of rest and sleep.. gonna try to sleep early tonite. I'm armed with a cup of hot milo in one hand.. with the wet, cold, rainy weather on the other.. and my warm cosy goose down blankie with rosewood scented aroma therapy filling my room... sweet sweet dreams...

Unsettled Feeling

 

I'm still unable to catch any sleep... staying in bed all nite... trying to fall asleep for 4 hours then giving up and getting up to surf the net. Today is another day of work at the airport followed by "encounter weekend" at church... I'm doom! It's just my biological clock.. like i say.. spoil alrdy..

Many thots came to mind as i sleep tonite.. but i wonder why... i still think about u... as though i have something that i have to settle.. however i dun have a clue what it is... Yet i do not hav the power to talk to you... I wished i know what's bothering me... It is you or "Samurai Sword" or "my scandal" or "Mr you know who".. or just me, myself & I? I'm happy the way I am that i'm sure.. yet these thots stirred like a whirlpool in my head... anyway it's friday the 13th today.. haha...

Haiz.... if only i knew... if only i could just close my eyes and sleep... to be rescued away by my dreams... But instead.. i lie awake... getting up now to get ready to go out and start my day.. a day without any sleep...

The Sleepless Insomniac

 

Now I lay me down not to sleep
I just get tangled in the sheets
I swim in sweat three inches deep
I just lay back and claim defeat

Chapter read and lesson learned
I turned the lights off while she burned
So while she's three hundred degrees
I throw the sheets off and I freeze

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around

Who needs sleep?
well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War

My hands are locked up tight in fists
My mind is racing, filled with lists
of things to do and things I've done
Another sleepless night's begun

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around

Who needs sleep?
well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War

Who needs sleep?
well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War

There's so much joy in life,
so many pleasures all around
But the pleasure of insomnia
is one I've never found
With all life has to offer,
there's so much to be enjoyed
But the pleasures of insomnia
are ones I can't avoid

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
that I won't sleep
I countdown, I look around

Hala Hala Hala

Who needs sleep?
well you're never gonna get it
Who needs sleep?
tell me what's that for
Who needs sleep?
be happy with what you're getting
There's a guy who's been awake
since the Second World War

Why I Cannot Sleep?!?!?!

 

It is fucking 1:50am in the morning & i cannot get to sleep... It is so frustrating.. I've been lying in best for more than an hour.. i give up.. got up turn on the lights and my computer to investigate... and concluded the following:


I have either one of the following:

Sleep Onset Insomnia (Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome): A disorder in which the major sleep episode is delayed in relation to the desired clock time that results in symptoms of sleep onset insomnia or difficulty in awakening at the desired time.

Psychophysiological Insomnia: A disorder of somatized tension (conversion of anxiety into physical symptoms) and learned sleep-preventing association that results in a complaint of insomnia and associated decreased functioning during wakefulness.

Transient Insomnia (Adjustment Sleep Disorder): Represents sleep disturbance temporally related to acute stress, conflict or enviornmental change causing emotional agitation.

Periodic Insomnia (Non 24-Hour Sleep-Wake Syndrome): Consists of a chronic (lasting a long time) steady pattern consisting of 1-2 hour daily delays in sleep onset and wake times in an individual living in society.

Forgetting My Toil...

 

Listening to the life classic sounds of the double bass, saxophone and guitar... the warm ambience and the companion of my love ones...
All happy.. from the bouquet of the wine.. Shiraz, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay.... Peace on Earth...

"Wine cheers the sad, revives the old, inspires the young, makes weariness forget his toil." --- Lord Byron

Wine tasting... Begins

 

Got an invitation to a Citigroup wine tasting event at The Forbidden City, Indochine at Clarke Quay.. It was interesting! The sampling of wine.. red & whites of 4 different continents: South Africa, New Zealand, France & Australia....

Some lessons I gained from the sommelier:

• The body of a wine generally refers to the weight or fullness of a wine in your mouth. It is not the taste when you first drink it... it is the feel after you drink it.. Wines can be categorized as light in body, medium or full.
• There is a difference between a sweet wine & fruity wine... fruity doesn't = sweet.. pple tend to mix these two up...
• Between tasting, change the glass or wash the glass with the lighter wine first if the prior tasting is with a heavier wine..
  

After tasting the wine.. then there was also fusion vietnam finger food.. fried prawn rolls, seaweed patties, duck cum yam pieces... A selection of Cheese.. blue cheese, goat cheese.. Then how about ending it off with inhouse chocolates made by their own chef.. dark and white chocolates with raisins & nutty filling... Wah... Jealous yet? hee hee....

The Bitter Aftertaste

 

Flicking the lighter
The sucking of the filter
Like setting tar on fire

Taking a breath of it
Filling my lungs up to the tip
Sending me up on a high

My senses are like
That of a bike
Speeding by

A moment of thrill
Just like a ride
I took in my life

Huff and Puff
The cigarette choke like tuff
As it burned away is a rush

Now left with a bitter
A bitter aftertaste
That last….

By Madeleine Wan

This bitter aftertaste is about the difficult times i have been through.. for the many lessons i have learnt though my own experience. It is over but it will stay with me all my life.. Well, i seem to be better at sad poems.... cos it is from our most painful past that we learn the most i guess.

Artistic impression of "The Bitter Aftertaste"

 

Nothing is so bitter that a calm mind cannot find comfort in it. - Lucius Annaeus Seneca
