my first vlogging attempt.. I'm such a NOOB!

Mood : hyped!

Assalamualaikum and hello awesome peeps!

for those who still worry about my horse riding injury, fear not, I have 90% recovered! and it's not coz of the medicines, I wasn't really eating those, they are DRUGS ftw! haha.. okay, sorry, I'm not gonna brainwash you into not eating your medicines, they're good for you (sort of).. hehe.. but I did go to the clinic and had my leg and hip x-rayed.. the doc said I was fine, no broken bones and no fractures, Alhamdulillah.. she did remind me to be careful the next time I go horse riding tho, which I would obviously do.. note to self, falling off a speeding horse is NOT FUN, DO NOT REPEAT.. okay, that piece of information has been stored in my brain.. =D

so back to the tittle of this post.. I have been snooping around blogs and also youtube, which led me to the discovery of two awesome people, Maria Elena and Anwar Hadi.. they are not your ordinary famous people (ie on magazines or tv n stuff) but they are famous in the world of YouTube and vlogging!.. wohoooo!~ in case you're going about in your head asking, "who the hell are they??", do check out their videos below.. (^^,)

and yes, I know I pronounced it wrong, it's vlogging, not v-logging.. I know I know.. hey, I told you in my title of this blog post right, I'm a noob ftw, so I'm supposed to make this mistake.. wuwuwu.. and there is a serious lag in the beginning of the video, which turn my voice into a dude!..

when you fall off your horse, it's called an accident

Mood : bruised

Assalamualaikum and hello awesome peeps!..

it's currently mid semester holidays here in UUM, so the roads and walkways are pretty much empty, what's left are upturned rubbish cans raided by monkeys and plastics of dried leaves.. being a person who's mostly busy all the time (eceh, mengalahkan menteri la kau), finding an escape from my daily activities just to go horse riding is super hard.. that's why when I got a call from my horse riding trainer on Thursday, I flipped!.. it is the holidays so I'm free, no classes and no current responsibilities, well, except for sleeping till 12pm.. hehehe..

so on Friday morning at 8.30am, I drove my mums car to the Equine Center in UUM.. my trainer, Abg Wan greeted me with stable chores, his way of punishing me for not coming to train for 3 months.. sorry Abg Wan!.. (^^,) so around 9am, I groomed and saddled up Prince, one of the biggest horse in the stable.. okay, I was worried at first.. 3 months without training and riding a new horse that I never rode on before, that's kind of scary.. but my trainer was quite confident with me, so I just followed..

after 15 minutes, I got on Prince and headed down to the paddock.. was I nervous?.. hell yeah!.. Prince's head is huge, and he weighs a damn lot!.. but I stayed calm.. once I got in the paddock, I started walking and trotting, getting the feel of riding a horse again.. it felt so good, and so free!! missed the feeling so so much.. (^^,)

okay fine, this is not me, but you get what I mean.. hehehe.. I wore a helmet btw, much safer..

after 30 minutes of trotting, my trainer told me to canter, horse version of running.. I had cantered before, but on other smaller horses, so I was worried.. he gave me some pointers and I was on my way, cantering.. and it felt AWESOME!! XD Prince's canter was nice and flows well with my body, I felt like flying.. I did have a bit of problem in controlling the reins, but other than that, it went well..

disaster happened when I stopped to pause for a breath.. the whip I was holding accidentally hit Prince and he started to canter.. it's not suppose to scare me, since I know how to sit and balance myself during a canter, but my feet weren't in the styrup, making me loose my balance.. I panicked like hell, the horse still cantering on, turning into a fast gallop.. I forgot everything about horse riding at that moment, forgot that all I had to do was sit up and pull the reins I had in my hands which would make the horse stop.. all I could do at that moment was pray that I don't fall off, pray that the horse would just stop.. I did the only thing I could think of to prevent myself from falling - hug Prince's neck..

I held on to Prince's neck tightly, my body moving up and down in sync with the horse's fast gallop.. I could hear in the distance, my trainer shouting something, his voice sounded alarmed.. I couldn't make out what he said, all I could hear was my heart, beating fast in my chest.. my grip on Prince's neck was starting to loosen, and I know I'd be kissing the ground soon.. the only thing I could do was pray.. "Ya Allah, please save me, don't let me fall, don't let me break any bones.."

but you know how life is, sometimes you need to fall to know the meaning of success.. or stuff.. hehehe.. so that's where I had my first fall from a horse.. I've been bitten and had my foot stepped on by horses, so it was time for me to feel my first fall from grace.. eh, I mean horse.. =P

loosing my balance on the left side, I fell somewhat like this..

my body flew on the left side of the horse, tumbling in the air and landing on my right hip in the sand, faced up towards the sky.. hey look, the sky is actually BLUE!.. I never knew.. =p Prince continued on with his canter, jumping over me (which was SUPER SCARY) and kicking my left leg at the shins.. ala, betis kiri la.. something like the picture below..

see the guys left leg?.. the back left foot of the horse as it jumped pass him must have hit him in the shins there, so I'm guessing the guys bones are probably broken.. the same thing happened to me, only my shin bone is not broken, just bent a bit.. it's still sore as hell, so is my hip, but Alhamdulillah, no broken bones.. (^^,)

once I was on the ground, I couldn't get up.. the pain in my right hip was a bit unbearable, giving me a sharp stabbing sensation.. Prince stopped cantering a few meters away, after realizing that the rider was missing.. my eyes were closed, trying to stop the pain, but I blinked a bit, trying to get the sand out of my eyes, thus catching a glimpse of my trainer walking towards me.. I pulled myself together, hoping that the pain will go away.. a few seconds later, my trainer was calling to me, so I looked up to find my trainer with Prince in his hands.. he asked if I was alright and if I could walk..

so I stood up, trying to balance myself.. okay, I'm fine, I can stand, nothing broken.. my trainer said I didn't look pale, which is a good sign, and asked if I could ride again, which I answered yes.. well, that was before I tried to walk.. my balance was off and I almost fell.. I got dizzy and saw the trees and sand and everything in very bright colours.. woahh, Prince's butt is HOT!!.. hahaha.. my trainer instructed me to go sit near the railing while he demonstrated the correct way to sit during a canter.. he explained why I fell, which was because my body was lunged forward signaling to the horse to go faster.. if I sat straight, the horse would have gone slower and eventually stopped.. he assured me that my fall wasn't bad, it wasn't like the horse was trying to throw me off, it was because I lost my balance.. whatever the cause was, I'm still thankful that I didn't suffer any serious injuries or broken bones.. Alhamdulillah.. (^^,)

my trainer in front riding Prince, the horse I fell off from.. he's HUGE man..

currently I'm resting and nursing my injuries.. my right hip has gotten worse tho, I can't sneeze or laugh without feeling pain.. I hope this goes away soon, it's super hard for me to make jokes if I can't laugh right.. and my left shin is getting better, but it's still sore.. and there's a dent in my shin bone, it's no longer straight, which is kinda cool when you run you fingers through them, you can feel the curve.. hahaha.. I mean, think about it.. how many people with bent shins from a horse kicking it do you know?.. so I fall in the AWESOMELY COOL category.. hahaha.. ehem, but don't go getting weird ideas and getting yourself a dent too okay?..

last but not least, I would like to thank my family - my mum and my sisters - who have been helping me to get better.. thanks for getting stuff for me, and also refilling my ice bag, you guys rock! =D and thanks to those who cared on Facebook and calling and messaging me on the phone, you guys are awesome too!.. (^^,) no worries, I'll get my leg and hip x-rayed on Monday, just to make sure everything is okay, kay?..

I assure all of you, this is NOT the end of my horse riding days.. I will continue once my injuries are healed, so worry you not.. hahaha.. besides, I'm no quitter.. later awesome peeps!! (^^,)

p/s : all pictures, except the last one, belongs to Mr Google..

dare to challenge yourself (the chili way)

Mood : awake

Assalamualaikum and hello awesome peeps!.. what's up?.. last month I helped in shooting this video for a competition, it's called 1Malaysia Innovative Tournament, or 1MIT for short..

it wasn't for UUM per say, but the whole student poly-tech/university population in Malaysia, regardless of nationality, provided they are studying in Malaysia.. shooting the video was fun, but I didn't fully comprehend the whole concept of 1MIT yet, until Mr Azim Pawanchik, the Principal Consultant of Alpha Catalyst Consulting gave his talk in the Creativity and Innovation seminar later that night..

he showed some awesome innovative ways that can be implemented in daily life and how creative students are.. this competition really offers some awesome prizes, including from big names such as AirAsiaX, Porsche, Microsoft Malaysia, Nomad Adventures and many more.. so what do the participants have to do?.. hehehe.. for that, you shall have to watch this video.. try to spot me in it, okay?.. (^^,)

so there you have it, the challenge that we have to shoot for the 1MIT2010.. so, errr, how was I?.. I look pretty cute, right?.. lol, perasan lah kau najmie!~ =P anyway, I was sick along the line of the given 2 weeks, but I did manage to form a super quick team and do a shooting for a video. I admit, we could have done better, but hey, at least we tried, right?.. (^^,) so check out my teams chili video..

and for the record, I know I look fatttttt in the horse riding pictures, so no need to point that out to me.. okay?.. okay.. (-__-;; anyway, I've seen some awesome videos from other teams as well, and what I can say is, it's a pretty stiff competition.. even though mine might not actually be the best video, but it's a submission.. so I'm pretty much cool with that.. hehehe.. oh oh, go [HERE] please.. thanks a million!.. (^^,)

SIFE UUM IS AWESOME!!

~\(^o^)/~

40km on a horse, are you up to it?..

Mood : beyond happy!

Assalamualaikum and good day awesome peeps!.. looks like my blog has been collecting dust, again.. so I'm here to do some cleaning, hence an UPDATE!!.. wohooo!!~~ =DD this time I'll share with you my experience at Perlis Endurance Challenge 2010 recently, on 31 July 2010, where I was the crew member, helping out the UUM Equine peeps!.. wohoooo!~~

but first and foremost, a picture of me and Baja, a long lost horse, who moved from UUM Equine to Darulaman Equine.. say hi to Baja everyone!!.. (^^,)

the venue of this endurance is Chuping, Perlis, amidst the sugar cane plantation.. but the TSAB ranch was breathtaking!.. the open fields were, WOW!.. you can see the greenery there, being in the open fields and seeing horses gallop and graze freely, is just a wonderful sight.. makes you appreciate the nature more and more.. =') weii, you don't believe me??!.. here, take a look for yourself..

here's a bit of info.. UUM Equine sent 3 representatives to the endurance challenge, UUM staff members.. they have been riding since I even started, so you can imagine the level of pro-ness they possess.. (^^,) all the riders partake in the 40km track, instead of the 80km track.. perghh, imagine going 40km on a horse through the darkness of the night and the bushes of the sugar cane plantation.. scarily adventurous, don't you think?.. (^^,)

so let me introduce you guys to the riders of UUM Equine.. first up, we have Mr Roqib Chik, a staff member from YAB office, if I'm not mistaken.. he's riding an awesome but quite jumpy horse and easily startled, Desert Storm!..

next up, a staff member from UUM Equine, Mr Mohamad Bahiyuddin bin Razali, or more commonly known as Mat Naka among the horse riding community.. he's riding the one and only, Time For'us, or Forus for short.. (^^,)

and last but not least, we have my trainer, Mr Wan Mohd Hafizam, or better known as Abg Wan.. hehehe.. he's riding the strong and bold, Prince!..

we also have 2 riders from Darulaman Equine, Mr Nur Helmi Yatus, riding Jenny and Dr Ray Nakamura, riding Lotto..

opss, but before the riders are sent out into the track, let's pray that everything goes well and everyone is safe.. the tracks are quite demanding for the riders as well as the horses..

and they're off!.. the riders were sent into the tracks at 5pm, both 40km and 80km were sent off at once.. some of the horse are so freaking awesome!!.. most were either Arab breed or Pinto, with spots and stuff.. very nice.. but they reminded me of cows.. =P

I saw loads of horses who had problems at the beginning of the challenge, some were even scared to cross the starting line.. a horse lost his horseshoe at the beginning of the race.. luckily the guys crew were there to help him..

after all the riders were on their way, the other peeps in the crew which consists of me and some UUM Equine Club members and Equine Ko-K, had nothing much to do.. so we wondered around the area and bumped into fascinating creatures.. for example, meet Rocky!.. (^^,)

he belongs to the ranch, and is a very playful and friendly puppy.. you can go and stick out your hand and he'll place him paw on yours, then lick it.. hehehe.. super nice doggy.. too bad I can't touch you.. don't want to have to cleanse myself with dirt water.. 1 experience is enough please.. (^^,)

I also met a lonely horse, locked in his stable while his friends were out cantering in the fields.. most likely he didn't pass the vet check, since all horses must be checked by the vets to ensure that they are fit to enter the endurance.. hey, we can't send sick horses into the sugar cane fields, it's dangerous for the horse and the rider..

anyway, if I'm not mistaken, his name is Masterchaff.. I don't know who the owner is tho, but the horsey looked really sad.. so I comforted him and persuaded him to smile.. hey, there's always a next time dear!.. (^^,)

I also saw more horses along the way, inside the paddocks where they roam free.. I found 3 horses who looked like they were glued to each other!.. kind of cute tho.. hehehe.. the picture was already nice, but I wanted to edit it a bit, or a lot.. hehe.. now it just looks weird.. =P like unicorns coming out from the forest of mystery.. =P

they stuck really close to each other.. must be from the same owner then..

and I also saw some dudes with killer lenses!.. abang, nak pinjam kamera boleh?.. =P

by the time we finished walking around, the 1st round of peeps were coming in from 20km worth of journey!.. giler!.. my trainer, Abg Wan was the first to arrive, followed by Abg Roqib and Mat Naka.. so you can imagine how fast they were riding, 1 hour and 20 minutes for the length of 20km.. giler!~~

so this is where the crew comes in.. after 20 minutes, each horse must go for a vet check to determine the health condition of the horse after the 20km track.. the vets check the heart rate of the horse, where it must not be higher than 56beats per minute and the horse must not have any injury, to qualify it to continue for the next 20km.. so the crew must cool down the horse by bathing it in regular and ice water, to ensure that the heart rate goes down..

Mat Naka, checking Forus's heart rate..

but the thing you must know is, we CAN NOT wash the back of the horse, as it acts as an engine to the horse.. if you pour water on a heated car engine, the car will break down.. the same thing applies to horses, don't wash the back of the horse after a long and hard ride or the horse will get cramps and can't move.. simple as that..

so the cooling crew will wash and bathe the horse to make the heart rate drop to below than 56.. sadly, out of the 3 horses that represented UUM, only 1 horse made it through to the next round, Abg Wan and Prince.. Abg Roqibs horse, Storm, had a very high heart rate due to its jumpiness and nervousness making it unfit to continue, whereas Mat Nakas horse, Forus did not make it due to a foot injury from stumbling during the challenge..

everyone was pretty devastated that only 1 horse passed, but I guess it wasn't the time for us to shine.. we just had to hope for the best for Abg Wan and Prince, as they head out for the 2nd loop, another 20km in the dark.. and what do you know, lull and behold,

UUM EQUINE WON 1ST PLACE FOR THE 40KM TRACK!! \(^o^)/

wohooooo!~~ it seems that the other riders from other equine clubs looked down on UUM Equine coz our horses are not Arabian Breeds, we're just Thoroughbred.. they said we didn't stand a chance to win, since majority of the horse are Arabian, which is said to be the strongest breed there is.. well, we showed them huh?.. hehehe..

since it was Abg Wan who won the challenge with Prince, we decided to congratulate him with a dip in the icy waters!.. Abg Roqib, Abg Mie, Abg Saiful and Mat Naka planned among themselves and splashed Abg Wan in the waters with no mercy.. poor Abg Wan!.. hahaha.. he was soaking wet, dripping with cold icy waters, shivering from head to toe.. talk about brain freeze! =DD

all in all, I really enjoyed my time there at the ranch, even tho it was just for a few hours.. I arrived at 4.50pm, I left at 1.30am.. I learned a lot there, and I can't wait to partake in an endurance challenge one day.. so I must start training from now on, and increase my stamina to the max.. wheee!~~ =D

horse riding has always been my passion, and it will always be, insyaallah.. (^^,)

can you give this to me as a present? pretty please~~ (T^T)

Mood : in awe

assalamualaikum and good morning awesome peeps!.. it's a wonderful day today, so smile and be thankful you're still alive to see a Tuesday.. (^^,) I'm currently in my office, on my 3rd day of work.. 1st day of work, nothing much to do, 2nd day, I did a lot of research for my boss regarding poverty and effects of education on poor family, and today I'll continue with where I stopped yesterday.. but I thought I'd update my blog first before continuing with my research.. and no worries, I'll be online on Facebook so you can still get in touch with me there, you know, in case you miss me or something.. hehehe..

so, yesterday while talking to a friend of mine, who's into horses as I am but is wayyyy more knowledgeable about horses, he sent me video of Arabian horses on my FB profile, and it made me interested to do some searching about them.. omg, the horses were magnificent! the body, the colour, the stature, it's all to die for.. so I went online and got some really awesome pictures of Arabian horses for your eyes, my awesome blog readers, so enjoy! (^^,)

my favourite kind of horse, a white Arabian horse.. it's better if it's a stallion, so cool if I can have this horse as my own ftw! okay, day dreaming here.. (^o^)~~ or does someone out there want to give me this horse a present?..

as you can see, the nose on the Arabian horse is different from other breeds, as they have to adapt to the desert and sand.. plus their back is shorter and their body are more compact.. quoted from Wikipedia, Arabian horses have refined, wedge-shaped heads, a broad forehead, large eyes, large nostrils, and small muzzles.. most display a distinctive concave or "dished" profile.. many Arabians also have a slight forehead bulge between their eyes, called the "jibbah" by the Bedouin, that adds additional sinus capacity, believed to have helped the Arabian horse in its native dry desert climate.. another breed characteristic is an arched neck with a large, well-set windpipe set on a refined, clean throatlatch.. this structure of the poll and throatlatch was called the mitbah or mitbeh by the Bedouin, and in the best Arabians is long, allowing flexibility in the bridle and room for the windpipe..

but this black one is so majestic, the coat and fur is so shiny, and the body, OMGG really strongly built!! oh, notice the tail sticking in the air?.. it's one of the distinctive quality of Arabian horses, and it really sets them apart from other breeds.. plus, well-bred Arabians have a deep, well-angled hip and well laid-back shoulder.. most have a compact body with a short back.. some, though not all, have 5 lumbar vertebrae instead of the usual 6, and 17 rather than 18 pairs of ribs.. thus, even a small Arabian can carry a heavy rider with ease.. Arabians usually have dense, strong bone, sound feet, and good hoof walls..

Arabian horses are really the most magnificent breed there is in the world, and is the most oldest.. they are said to be hot-blooded horses, and like other hot-bloods, Arabians' sensitivity and intelligence enable quick learning and greater communication with their riders.. however, their intelligence also allows them to learn bad habits as quickly as good ones, and do not tolerate inept or abusive training practices..

some sources claim that it is more difficult to train a "hot-blooded" horse such as the Arabian, Thoroughbred, Barb or Akhal-Teke.. however, most Arabians have a natural tendency to cooperate with humans, but when treated badly, like any horse, they can become excessively nervous or anxious, though seldom become vicious unless seriously spoiled or subjected to extreme abuse.. at the other end of the spectrum, romantic myths are sometimes told about Arabian horses that give them near-divine characteristics..

now you know why I want an Arabian horse so so much.. but get one thing straight, this does not change the fact that I have and always will love Martina, my other half, who came from Argentina.. her tail might not stick up in the air when she prance around but she's just as lovable.. she's awesome too, and she'll always be first before other horses for me.. LOVE YOU MARTINA!! and no, I'm not a lesbian, please take note.. =P

okay, back to work people, research papers are not going to find themselves you know.. cheers! (^^,)

good but bad day

Mood : mixed feelings

assalamualaikum, good evening everyone.. well, I went horse riding this morning, around 8.15am.. it was awesome!.. well, the first part anyway.. when I reached the equine center this morning, I was still uncertain on whether I'm riding or not.. abg wan was on the phone at that time, so I just walked around checking up on Hero, Prince, Texas, and Martina in their stable.. everyone looks sleepy and half awake, kinda like me.. so around 8.30am, abg wan told me to saddle up Martina, we're riding! wohooo!~~ I practically jumped up and down with joy! okay malu.. =P

my instructor, abg wan, riding Martina..

so I prepared Martina, groomed and saddled her up for the ride.. I made a few mistakes here and there, like putting on the girth on the saddle, and kinda took forever to finish, so abg wan told me I have to do better next time.. hoho.. yes boss! =P after everything was accounted for, I put on my helmet and took out my whip, and got on my horse, Martina.. man, I really love being on top.. (^^,) *please don't think perverted thoughts*

abg wan and mad also rode on horses, Prince and Pablo.. we headed to the paddock first to warm up the horses by walking, trotting and cantering.. you heard me right, CANTER FTW!! omg, it's been forever since I cantered, and it felt AWESOME!!! not lying.. really had the best time, but my butt and back kind of hurts a bit now.. hehehe.. but it was fun none-the-less.. (^^,)

after about 40 minutes of warming up, abg wan took the horses outside from the paddock.. omg, he's bringing me for an outride! this is a pleasant surprise indeed! we passed the HEP building, and I was getting excited.. my second out ride.. but sadly, it didn't happen.. (TT___TT) Martina was having mood problems, and was making it difficult for me to control her.. she kept wanting to turn back towards the stable, not obeying my commands, not wanting to go forward, that abg wan told me to return.. damn it, I lost my opportunity to out ride!.. he even said, 'you can't even control the horse, and you want to go for an outride?' omg, my face was hot with embarrassment, I felt humiliated! (T^T) he and mad went for the outride, and left me to go back..

once I got back to the stable, which Martina was trotting all by herself ignoring my command telling her to stop, I got off of her and I was angry.. like, really really MAD! I started scolding her, 'what the hell was that about? that was embarrassing, how could you do that? I thought we were friends?' I hit her a bit to teach her a lesson, so that she knows that she's not the boss of me.. she knew I was mad, that I was furious with her.. she looked a bit sad, and kept glancing over her shoulder when I pass behind her, her eyes and face looking apologetic.. I ignored it at first, leaving her after taking off her saddle and equipments, I needed to cool off.. after a few minutes, I went back to her, and we talked.. turns out, she was a bit scared cause the water fountain in front of the Canselori building was on, and cause her back and feet were a bit bruised from the saddle and girth.. she said she was sorry, by nudging me lightly on my hands and shoulders too.. awww, isn't she sweet?.. =')

so in the end, I soften up, and took her grazing nearby.. but I did tell her, she better not do it again, or so help me god, I'll skin her alive.. she understood, so we're good.. =) I do hope she doesn't hold a grudge against me or anything, cause I still fed her, bathe her, groomed her, put medicine on her wounds and such.. I still love her no matter what, it's just, I was sooo pissed off with what she did..

so tomorrow I'm going to head to the equine center again with carrots, as a peace offering from me to her.. that way, we can start again.. love you so much Martina! (^^,)

2 hot guys and a horse, what do you get?

Mood : groggy

assalamualaikum and good day everyone.. there's this thing that's bothering my tummy when I woke up this morning.. I tried to figure out what it was while brushing my teeth in front of the sink, when it hit me like a brick, I haven't had breakfast yet, no wonder!.. pftt, lame?.. maybe.. so for lunch today, I'm gonna cook me some ayam percik, nyum nyum!

anyway, I celebrated my liberation from final exams yesterday.. it's the end of 2nd semester in UUM, finally! and how did I celebrate?.. by horse riding ftw! wohoo!~~ =DD

okay, that's definitely not me, too sexayyy to be true.. hoho.. courtesy of mr Google..

after about a month and a half being a no horse rider due to studies and exams, I finally got back on my oh-so-nice-and-only-girl-horse-in-the-stable, Martina!.. we went out riding around UUM campus, and believe it or not, it was my FIRST time going for outride!.. I went with two hot guys, ehem, ladies please be jealous.. hehehe.. one is my training instructor, abg Wan and the other is the hot UUM football player who also works at the equine center, Mad.. and between you and me, he got some awesome abs ftw! accidentally saw him with no shirt when I went to the Equine center once, not my fault.. guys sometimes like to walk around shirtless, you can't blame me for accidentally seeing that.. *drool* chocolates on the tummy, me likey! bahahaha! =DD

meet abg wan, my instructor.. ain't he hot?..

and Mad.. ignore me, I was fat at this time.. (-__-;;

anyway, the out ride was awesome! we were from the stable near HEP building, and rode in front of UUM library *lots of people*, FE, PKU, around the stadium, up the main hall dewan MAS, and back to the stable.. I also met some of my friends and they were in awe that I was riding a horse ftw! bahahaha.. bangga siot!.. =P damn, it was so awesome yet scary experience.. Martina was being a tad bit difficult, not obeying my direct instructions telling her to stop trotting when we were near the road.. she almost cantered and I could have fallen off!.. I guess that's what you get when you don't visit your horse for a long time, sorry Martina dear.. (T^T) really thanks to my instructor for guiding me and telling me what I should do.. he's awesome that way, and cute! =D

and cause of this renew obsession, I want to keep riding my horse, which means I have to pay RM150 to continue my lessons.. this little outride was courtesy of abg wan who missed me and asked me to come over and ride.. ain't he sweet?.. =) and due to my lack of money, I'm about to go for a part time job as a research assistant at one of the center in UUM.. I report for work tomorrow morning.. pays RM35 per day, so I can save some money from there to buy myself a white horse ftw!

okay tipu, I can never have enough money to buy my own horse in the near future, maybe after I have a full time job or married a rich guy or something.. bahahaha.. =P the money from my part time work will be collected to continue my horse riding training till I can prove to myself that I can ride better, and canter, and get on the horse without help from chairs or people.. sangat malu okay kalau asyik naik kuda kena pakai kerusi.. pffttt~

okay, gonna go make some mean ayam percik now.. nyum nyum! (^^,)

p/s :- can anyone here tell me how and where I can learn to play guitar that's simple, fast yet effective?.. thanks a million!
