A Revival

The title says it all.

Kath has a new favourite song.
Which is going to come in especially helpful
During the long study sessions she will be having
And is supposed to be having now.

Oh, It Is Love - Hellogoodbye

Such a lovely song for a lovely rainy day (:

Year-end plans are being finalised.

All that's left is to slog it off.

The knowledge issue at hand?

How can we be sure that the methods of science will allow us
to determine the safety of the consumption of GM food?

Bloody T oK.

Holidays!

And after an ardous twelve straight weeks of school,
The (long anticipated) HOLIDAYS are finally here! :D

I am going to make full, full use of the next two weeks.
Many brunches, morning rides and
fruitful, productive completion of all the coursework as yet undone:

Sticky notes are the new post-its.
As blogs are the new diaries.
The one on my desktop currently says:

Extended Essaaaaaaaaaaay!
Econs Commentry x2
Organic Chem Worksheet
IB Chem Practice Paper
I.O.C. Revision
Ethics Presentation
ToK Essay

--------------------

Met up with MissBellaWella today for brunch!
We got extra bacon and huge runny sunny-side ups
and caught up over the morning (:

She's supposed to call me when she's back from Johor
and us plus Quah may have a jaunt down to goodoldHajiLane
for some much needed retail therapy.

Last week was very much UNFILLED with horses
Thus the anticipation and the fixing of boot soles
for tommorrow's meeting with TheBoyfriend
We're going 'running' every tuesdaythursdayfriday morning!

(I think the OTHER boyfriend is jealous :P)

-------------------------------------

I'm pretty sure this is the last good break I'm going to have for a while.
I plan to make good use of it.

Here's to the calm before the storm.
Revel, rejoice and be glad.

Seasons of Love

Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes,
Five hundred, twenty-five thousand moments so dear.
Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes,
How do you measure, measure a year.

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter and strife.

In five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes
How do you measure a year in the life.

How about love? How about love? How about love?
Measure in love... Seasons of love...

Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes
Five hundred, twenty-five thousand journeys to plan
Five hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life of a woman or man

In truths that she learnt, or in times that he cried,
In bridges he burnt, or the way that she died...

It’s time now to sing out, though the story never ends,
Let’s celebrate, remember a year in the life of friends!

Remember the love...
Oh... you got to, you got to remember the love...
Remember the love...
You know that love is a gift from up above...
Remember the love...
Share love, give love, pray love!
Measure in love...
Measure, measure your life in love...

Seasons of love (love)...
Seasons of love (love)...
Measure your life, measure your life in...
LOVE.

-------------------------------

It’s time to look at things from the right way,
No more crossing streets and having cars bang into you.
We’ll start measuring life in love.
Friendship, happiness and LOVE.

Thank you.

History

We wrote a speech to Stalin in history today.
Pretending to be a factory manager
Who hasn't reached his insanely ambitious production targets
Specific by the Soviet Government.

A Speech to Stalin from a Factory Manager
-by Hilda Foo and Kathleen Tan-

O honoured comrade Stalin,
Welcome to our humble factory, created and driven by your highly ingenious, economical mind. I present to you one of our top shock workers, Aleksandr Kovalev. He always works like a shock workers, exceeding his norms, while economising on the raw materials. In fact, he receives prizes every month, his work station always being neat and well cleaned and the quality of the shovels he manufactures of the top quality.

I should like to assure you, comrade, of our quality goods, which far surpass the average quality of shovels produced anywhere in the Soviet Union. I believe the high quality of our products justifies our factory not reaching the quotas specified. In fact, the neighbouring quarries have all praised the quality of our shovels. Even one of the foreman, comrade Ivan Stepanovich commented that our shovels allow his workmen to dig ten times as fast as with any other shovel.

We are currently in the process of training new workers to match the standard of our best shock workers and continue production of our quality shovels. In fact, as we speak, our production is continually increasing and I would like to firmly reassure you that we will fulfil these targets in a matter of days!

Someone said they don't think we'll get purged.
But we would end up in some very hot Soviet broth.

I .B. hi story's crazy fun
The workload's just crazy.

--------------------------------------

I did a lot of thinking last night.
I hate the way ______.
I hate the person _____.
I wish I didn't ______.

I need to talk about it more.
I need to understand.
I want to understand.

CHANGE
It's such a big word.
Daunting, much?

I'm still feeling very much overwhelmed.
Disheartened, slightly demoralised.
I can't believe it's come to such a point.

I'm scared.

Frustrated.

Completely the opposite of what I usually am.

... And I'm yet glad _________.

Cryptically Speaking...

When Kathy grows up,

Kathy wants to be a quattuordecillionnaire.

That's 45 zeros.

And many many many more times of a million billion dollars.

I'm in love with someone new (:

And she's a BLONDIE!

I think i'm channelling my inner Elle Woods.

Uniting Broadway and Equine.

I love the library windows.

Light, peace, serenity and Siddhartha.

Soon to be tennis probabilities, Stalin and experimentation

Oh how drearily droll life can be.

Sa and Sa's shiny new macbook are here

Beside me and making me so jealous.

Nevermind, my precious.

We shall whup their light-weight microchipped asses.

I want my stirrups back, mister!

And that camera spotlight.

With that cool confidence everyone has.

Could you arrange that, big guy?

Poor old Red's alone these days.
Wouldn't we much prefer the Red/Greens or Silver/Blues.

Luncheons and Dinners to attend and detest

To loathe and gripe except when...

My weekends hold the promise of magic.

Wednesday's out now.

Now MondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFriday

All the new 'unavoidable delay'...

"Pish posh" and "Oh pooh!", following

"This above all, to thine own self be true
And it must follow as the day the night
Thou canst not be false to any man."

2008-12-31T09:13:00.004+08:00

My Ass Is Back

Yes, Chun, my ass is back in Singapore.
Yes, MissMegan, my ass is back to celebrate your belated birthday.
Yes, ChurchPeople, my ass is back to join the choir.
Yes, Dawn, my ass is back to blog.

Y'all HAPPY now? :P

I'll bet everyone's thinking it's something just short of a miracle.
Tsk.
Oh ye of little faith!

---------------------------------------------

MELBOURNE!
was
WONDERFUL! :D

But because a certain D.W. will want MY ASS to be more specific:

lighthouses and coastlines and caves and piers and beaches and seagulls and pelicans and rock pools and hugebuge waves and sea caves and blowholes and penguins and waterfalls and fishermen and boats and surfers and gokarts and yatch clubs and slot cars and stack-arches-stumps and a number of apostles and winter coats in the summer and wineries and silly camwhore jump shots and family time and chinese restaurants in ang moh countries and greek food and markets and small village shops and huge shopping complexes and feeding lambs and collecting eggs and teasing sheepdogs and trail rides through the bush on a horse named leopold and spotted pony sightings and other horse sightings and cow sightings and sheep sightings and kicking parents out of master bedrooms and ocean breezes in the early morning and food courts and odd pelican behavior and clambering over huge boulders and saying hello to beach dogs and early morning beach walks and exploring the city by yourself and whistling to parakeets and home made ice cream and almost daily supermarket trips and windy mountain roads and weird road signs and evil road humps and lovely weather and love-at first-sight beach bags and budgets that one never keeps to and trams and hotels and holiday homes and christmas dinners and service apartments and hot coffee when one actually needs it and cornflakes and weird goths and fish and chips and village boutiques and flowers and cherries strawberries and boysenberries and honey ice cream and bad pasta and weird monuments and horseland twice! and sovereign hill and a church with wonderful architecture and lovely cafes and firebrigades and gelato in melbourne and lygon and elisabeth and kings and flinders and marsupials and zoo tours and reunions with old giraffe friends and white vans and medusa hair in wind and pesky flies and coats and long sleeve short sleeve quandaries and silly sibling jokes and cool cameras and pretenses of being malaysian when needed and reading maps and gps systems which work only for you and blue yellow information signs and WICKED lottery tickets

(There! If that wasn't discouragement to read the specifics,
i don't know what is. You just gotta love artistic lisence.)

All make for a wonderously enjoyable holiday and
yet another reason to love this crazy daisy family of mine ((:

---------------------------------------------

Good bye, OH-EIGHT. You were FANTASTIC.

2008-11-02T22:30:00.005+08:00

Just Because

Do me a favor

And tell me what you think about me

Tell me how you want this to be

Go out on a limb, and just dream.

Paint a picture

Choose your colors extra wise

Especially what you put on my mind

Fill me in so I can fly high, tonight.

Whoa oh, your thoughts are gonna lift me up

Do you know it's good to want too much.

Oh, you got my head in the clouds

Oh, you got me coming around

The more you think about me the more that I believe

That nothing's ever out of reach

So dream, dream, dream.

I breathe your visions

They pull me through the coldest of nights

They steer me towards that moment in time

When you show me what it means for you, to be mine.

Whoa oh, you're giving me this will to try

And you know, there's desire in these eyes

Oh, you got my head in the clouds
Oh, you got me coming around
The more you think about me the more that I believe
That nothing's ever out of reach
So dream, dream, dream.

It's like my birthday

Everytime you look at me

I feel the earthquake

Everytime you dream...

Whoa oh, your thoughts are gonna lift me up

Do you know it's good to want too much.

Much...

Oh, you make me dance in the rain
Oh, I wanna love once again
The more you think about me the more that I believe
That nothing's ever out of reach
So dream, dream, dream...

Dream...

The more you think about me the more that I believe
That nothing's ever out of reach
So dream, dream, dream.

Dream.

Dream, Dream, Dream
Diana DeGarmo

And the funny thing is,
This fits everything I think of you.

Thank You. ((:

Hello World. You Look Bleak.

G.YLC better be worth it.

Had to miss riding today because of a briefing

In which they merely repeated eveything in the booklet

I don't know why,

but I'm suddenly not as optimistic about it as I was before.

I don't like it. But i can't help it either. /:

I'm not the genuinely 24/7 happy person i used to be anymore.

I wish...

for my sunshine, rainbows and pretty ponies

... to come back.

"FIRE ENGINE ACCESS

Except that, apparently, certain people are exempted from this rule.
Cough -biased- cough :P

Then again, it's not like i mind...
__________________________________

People around are starting to change.
It's kind of ironic seeing how I've known most of them for only a short while.
Kinda makes me wonder how much the people I've known for donkey years are changing.
It's sad we never have time to catch up too.

June's the nearest holiday.
And it's going to bomb:
G.YL C takes up more than two weeks.
If you factor flight time, I literally have a mere
one and a half weeks of a holiday.
And during that time, there's going to be
homework and preparation for the trip.

Plus, i just got off the internet site.
Let's just say, I'm intimidated -- to say the least,
by all the activities and the advised (read: basic requirement)
amount of preparation/research required /:

But yet I'm sort of looking forward to it?
It is an interesting programme:
A completely independant trip,
meeting people from all over,
seeing the UN from the inside,
being diplomats for a couple of weeks,
...And the added extra paragraph on my CV... :P

Then again, after all the frantic calls and e-mailing,
Plus all that i'm missing back home,
I'd better enjoy this trip :P

And, anyhoo, gloom, doom and intimidation aside,
I plan to ENJOY the scant one and a half weeks I have.

Pony camp first week of June, eqts? (:

Reminiscing...

Chun's right, you guys.

I miss US and our crazy times, a lot a lot A LOT /:

EQT, forever?

IB's a beeeetch.
School's a beeeeetch.

Homework's a BEEEEEEEEEETCH.

I've been a lot grumpier since school started.

I want my holidays back! /:

Concert yesterday and the day before.

I'm really really tired.

There's too much to catch up on

But there's never enough time for anything.

Riding tommorow.
Just give me a decent ride

And at least ONE canter?

It's not that much to ask for, surely?

This mood I'm in totally sucks /:

Okay, fine.

But better late than never!

Today was fun! (:

Texting the new laptop and Word’o7 blog post function

Life's been its usual self I suppose.
A wonderful and not so wonderful mix of events the last three weeks
Which incidentally was my Easter break!
Eat your hearts out, People! :P

Unfortunately, school also starts again next week.
And it'll be rehearsals galore for the Choir Concert on the 7^th /:
I being really pessimistic about this one.
I think all that Mr.V picked are a bit too ambitious.
Thank God for the wonderful Chapel acoustics.
It's going to save our bloody skins.

On the subject of Choir, the SMC Choir is going good! (:
Singing for the Easter Vigil which was INSANELY FUNN!
Even if I was too freaked out the first half of the mass
And my voice was wobbling like craaazyyyyy...
Ended up crossing my fingers behind my back while singing
And I think the Altar Boys behind me noticed 'cause I heard a few snickers...

The Fiesta was just absolute chaos.
Spend the entire morning doing body art
and discovered a hidden talent:
For mixing paints and painting
flowers, roses, butterflies, rainbows, vines and beetles!
And the fun bit is that there's no such thing as going overboard!
And you just end up adding more swirls, dots, colours,
Blending more and dusting huge amounts of glitter!
And the more you do the happier the little girl in front of you gets.
Very me thing, isn't it? :P

Riding yesterday was quite retarded.
Me on Sonny, Jun on Sunshine and Abigail on SOS

Sonny SO soft compared to Chucks!
I thoroughly enjoyed the ten minutes I was on him
Because it felt like I was doing something
Instead of the usual
nothing's-happening-whatsoever-shoot-I-suck-at-riding
feeling I get with Chucks.

Songkla was being a complete ASS to his rider!
She nearly fell a few times and we ended up walking so much
That I got so fed up and offered to switch.
So basically the majority of the lesson was spent
Feeling absolutely pissed off with that Pig.
And it was the third week in a row I had to walk my horse down to the yard.
But I suppose it was an improvement over an Antsy Chucks
And not getting to canter at all.

I need to finish the stupid history essay.
Have I mentioned I HATE wars?
And Koch! Snowflakes were meant to be prettyy!
I'm blaming you for my very violent and unexplained loathing of them!

The long boots need cleaning and the short boots need fixing.

I wish there was an RDA session on Saturday.

I need a new Broadway show to obsess over.

And new music scores.
There's nothing to play since my exam is over
And everything in the house is boring.

Darn! This is turning into one disjointed depressing post.
I suppose I should end here before I get any worse
and continue with my essay.

I'm looking forward to lunch and post lunch.
That should help the mood tremendously! ((:

I hope you're doing okay in M'bourne, Dawnee!
Have you worn the PINK shirt?
We miss you a lot! /:
Love love! (:

I'm sorry, bonanza-.
Maybe next time... ...?

2008-02-24T14:18:00.004+08:00

...

I told her.
I think somehow now it’s made it worse
I expected a definite answer: a cautious yes or a violent no.
Not that either would have made a difference.
But, now, this.

I’m not questioning whether it’s worth holding on.
It truly has been an amazing whirlwind.
I’m not planning on letting any of it go.
I suppose maybe it’s just… many things.
I know I’m confused;
I don’t really know what to think, what to do, at this point…
And then again, I suppose, that’s just life being life.
Right?

_________________________________________________

Dawn’s gone off to Melbourne.
We sent her off at the airport.
She had the hugest entourage ever.
I hope they fit, Dawnee!
I dare you to try the pink :P

School’s busy. Very busy.
I’m catching up, I guess.
We’re getting there…
Slowly. /:
I’m only feeling confident with Math.
One out of six subjects.
Wonderful.

I do see what people mean when they say I-B’s a chore.
It’s a lot of work.
It’s essay after essay after essay.
And then they add C.A.S…

JHj took a photo too.
Only I forgot and was at the Lunch choir practice.
Go me.

Riding’s okay.
Had Chuckie on Thursday.
Jun rode Bea and we had a semi.
We did interesting things.
… And lots of sitting trot.
Chucks was sooo stiff!
Needless to say, I had to rise every few strides
or risk bouncing myself out of the saddle.
I reeeeeeeaaallyyy need to learn.

Nici did promise us a lunge lesson next week though.
I think we’re both in urgent need.
Thank GOD!

I’m re-reading this post.
Disjointed, awkward much.
I guess I’m not in a good frame of mind.
I’m sorry, bonanza-.

[edit]Balloons balloons balloons balloons balloons balloons
BALLOOOOOOOOOONNNS! :D
Okay scratch that.
I’m happy again!

(Sometimes, i think i lack depth as a person.

And sanity to go along with that.)

But, OH! Who could care.

Life's officially back on the road (:

I think it's wonderful how you do this to me.

Thank you ((:

INVASION BY DAWN

Hello, GUESS WHO. I bet you can't guess who.

Okay whatever. I bet you can so guess who.

Kath's at my house and we're blogging on each other's blogs.

Kath is now rummaging through my room looking for "good book"s to read.

We're going riding later. Hahah. Kath bets she's on Tikki. I bet she's not.

*moans* It's raining! GRRR. I don't want it to rain.

Aiyah I don't know what to write lah! So boring.

Why is Kath obsessed with flexion!

Anyway, just now Kath took SO LONG to blog that I feel asleep on my bed.

Kath is such a loser!

Kath is STILL looking through my books.

She picked out THE HANDMAID'S TALE. I wonder what she'll say when she gets to the EXPLICIT, R/A part. *sniggers*

KATH: "Dawn, your room's like an ancient treasure trove."

Kath is in love with my toilet. Oooooh.

On Discoveries One Makes At Barbeques...

apparently i have very "violent tendencies"

when handed both a knife and a piece of steak.

in my defence:

well... THE STEAK WAS IRRITATING LAHH!

And the knife was PLASTIC!

First post of the year six days after it starts...

Kath, you horrendous procrastinator!

This year's resolution:

BLOG MORE

(i can hear dawn cheering...)

BUT! as we all know,

resolutions are meant to be broken!

So, just don't count on me posting much.

Check here, say... once a month? :P

It's not like i'll have much time to blog much anyway.

from what everyone's been saying,

life's going to be hectic from here on.

i'm just hoping somehow i'll be able to fit riding into the equation

and we're not even talking twice a week! /:

i suppose there has been some good though,

CJ's been... a real eyeopener, if anything.

It's only been three days and i've already met

so many different people i wouldn't ordinarily meet.

But somehow, it feels weird.

True blue IJ for a whole long decade,

then just... leaving that all behind you.

Being thrust into a comepletely new, near-alien environment

only sparsely peppered with familliar faces.

Being split up from many old friends

and feeling the distance between you just widen with each passing day.

and not being able to bridge the gap

because, you just simply have no time.

I don't see how this is fair.

How friendships and memories that precious

should be given up just like that

when you move on.

Somehow, now, it just doesn't seem possible to keep

everything of the old and still continue letting the new come rolling in.

Very frankly, i've realised, i don't like this change.

I just don't feel the optimism i've always felt

with every other new experience.

In this case, it somehow feels more like

the "new" are barging into what used to be MY LIFE.

Something i used to feel in charge and in control over.

I'm still me.

and yet... things have changed,

so inevitably, i suppose i'll change as well.

change never did used to scare me.

it doesn't make any sense that i should be scared of it now.

it just... doesn't.

I don't even know why i'm thinking like that anymore.

i'm not supposed to be some emo kid.

and this post was suppose to be short.

Excuse myself from blogging for the next zillion years,

and i find myself suddenly reflecting and musing and mulling

over everything that's happened so far this year.

and i just realised

it's only been SIX DAYS since oh-eight started!

here's the hope,

maybe bonanza- will see some more daylight this year than last...

2007-11-23T12:15:00.000+08:00

Post-party Thanks

Heyy!

Just wanted to say:

THANK YOU ALL FOR A WONDERFUL SIXTEENTH!! :D

Albeit slightly delayed for the sake of one MissDawnWong :P But then again i wouldn't have it any other way.

Yes, i admit. I'm blonde, dense and dumb to walk past you all and ask the owner for a PAINTING. There. You now all have solid uncontestable proof to use against me under any circumstances. A "Thank you" present of sorts i suppose. Along with that terribly unflattering picture on the invite.

Thank you for the fabulous company, the presents, the plotting and scheming behind my back (for so long?!), for coming all the way to Gardens to celebrate with me (i hope no one arrived home too late?) , for the wonderful stories and conversations ... i'm running a bit dry here..., the fantastic memories all these years, and most especially, for the wonderful friendship we've shared (be it a few months or for many donkey years) that i truly, truly am immensely thankful for! (:

I'm sorry if i missed anyone out! I'm rushing off soon and matching email accounts to people is really not the easiest thing to do. I suppose i shall post this on bonanza- for those who don't have email or don't check it on a regular basis -cough, Quah, cough. I'll upload the photos onto facebook asap. Maybe a few onto bonanza- too?

To the riders-

Yes, "illegally blonde" :P. THANK YOU for the wonderful two page spread in the scrapbook! I'll see you on Thursday and BANGKOK SOOOON! :D :D :D

also:

I DEMAND A RETRACTION MISSDAWNWONG! They pushed the party back for you! Now you owe me one! I only sing in the bathroom to IRRITATE KRISTINE! (I've found the most irritating is Wicked's "One Short Day" :P ) and that'shardly ever done nowadays, since her exams are over!

To the church-ies-

I, like, totally heart the banner! Along with the retarded smiley/flower. HAHA! I apologise for seating my portable alarm system with you guys and not saving you. At least you didn't have to contend with the staring flowers? I do assure you though, they had the most fantastic time with you and the rubik's cube. If whatever you're going for doesn't work out, you'll all make very good babysitters for the 6-12 age group.

To the IJ bunch-

You guys have made the last four years absolutely FANTASTIC! Thank you for coming all the way down from the ends of the Earth for me on the ever "faithful" SBS. I'll miss recess with you guys alotalotalot! Orders from H.R.H. are to KEEP IN TOUCH! :P

To Xiang and ShuMei-

I'm sooo sorry i didn't spend much time talking to you guys! /:

Thank you for the FANTASTIC presents! We'll catch up soon, yes yes? (:

To the cousins-

I'm sorry i abandoned you too! I swear that i am absolutely and utterly guilt-ridden and will make it up next Sunday when I see you? (: And i LUUUUBBB the horse anatomy set too! It's PRECIOUS!

To Gretchen/Elphie-

Because Dawn And Countless Others ~~Said~~ Nagged, "Blog, Kath!"

But you know what?

I'm just too happy to even try.

Lazy too, yes, i concede.

But it's mostly just me being gosh darn

HAPPY! ((:

And blue's such a happy colour too, don't you think?

Equestriennes Video #2

Yes, yes. This girl is supposed to be on hiatus.

AFTER, i post this:

[edit]

(fill with negative adjective of choice) blogspot is throwing tantrums

and hissy fits and not letting me post the video!

Dawn: Er try clicking on the video to open a new window then click the thing tt says 'copy onto blog' or smt. Then copy and paste. Cos i deleted some stuff. :P

Kath: I did! It won't accept applicationX or whatever. So annoying!

Dawn: Therefore. THis is the time (or maybe after Os would be better) to get DIARYLAND :)

Kath: Shut up dawn! :P I'm inclined to think diaryland's paying you a commission for every blogspotter you convert to a diarylander...

ANYWAY, it still won't post.

Dangerous place to post such a conversation actually :P

URL HERE!

http://www.kewego.com/video/iLyROoaftEPL.html

There! Not as attention grabbing as the actual video,

but, hey, we gotta make do with what we've got, no?
especially when some irritating online journal hosting website is being very very very anti the whole free speech thing...

[/edit]

I swear Dawn has too much free time.

And too much photos and videos which I STILL DO NOT HAVE!!

HAHA!

Chemistry tomorrow!

And I'm off to hit the books.

so it's back

ON HIATUS

(again)

I'm wondering how many people read this.

So if you're reading, leave a tag.

Let's see who those ignoramus hee-PO!-pot-aim-USes are, shall we?

;)

Hiatus, Therapy and New Obsession

Fei said I can't copy her and close down my blog.

So I'm going to copy just about EVERYONE else

And go on HIATUS.

So here:

Therapy was needed.

Partly in the form of my newest obsession

People, BEWARE.

Another efficient form of therapy?

First _______________.

We are hot, sexy, and scandalous!

Here's to the latest one!

I really am very very very relieved!

And happy. Very happy.

______________.

(pause)

You know what? Just check D's b0.

And...

I suppose I never ever did expect this to happen.

But I'm truly glad it did.

It's like looking at the world through rose tinted glasses

Every single day.

... And wearing the coolest jacket on earth while doing that. (:

Thank you.

For the record, yes, I'm quite aware

that i suck at vague nonsensical posts

that only make sense to...

those that I'm truly thankful for.

Today was a MILESTONE!

Erin waved at meeee! :D

Jealous yet, FeiChunJun? :P

(In order of who i think will be most jealous. HAHA!)

2007-08-25T21:36:00.000+08:00

Jun's Birthday!

Right. This is long overdue :P

We gave her a RAINCOAT!

With felt cutouts all painstakingly HANDSTITCHED all over:

- Dressage duo silhouette in lime green on the back

- Two blue horseshoes complete with sequins on the front pockets

- Various pink horses running up the right sleeve

- One lime green camel looking very out of place among them :P

We pinned our individual notes on the front

and packed it nicely in a big red box.

Pictures! (:

Labelled:
"To Miss Penelope Pinto
Shopaholic Extrodinaire
c/o: Miss Tan Jun Yin"

Various felt cutouts
(including one very out of place camel.
Dawn and her random ideas.)

Back view

Front view

YAY EQTS! (:

---------------------------------

Today someone asked me
what my biggest goal in life was.
And I said
"To have as much fun as possible."
Without hesitating.
Not that i was being hedonistic?

Go figure.

2007-08-09T22:15:00.000+08:00

National Day!

Today felt so un-NationalDay-ish.

It just really feels like an ordinary Saturday for some reason?

Oh, Fei and Dawn some over today to do __________.

Unfortunately, our Mademoiselle already knows because of FEI

FFS says:

how is my present ?

dressage, says:

spoiling your own surprise! I NO TELL!!

FFS says:

just say nice or not lah! also never ask you to say what it is!

dressage, says:

excuse me, this is EQT standard

how DARE you imply it's anything BUT the finest?

and it IS the finest.

You better like it, MissTanJunYin!

After all the effort we all put in.

-mutters darkly-

Spoiling one's own birthday surprise...

This is a COOL VID!

Berna Pujals and Vincent

World Equestrian Games 2006, Aachen.

Rocky transitions,

but the music is wonderfully unique!

And his walk/trot/canter extensions are FABULOUS! (:

Apparently, she went through HELL to get this horse.

And for that, I truly believe, she will make it to the top.

War Of The GrandPrix Riders

Well, not exactly.

It's more like war of DawnFeiandKath

Over their favourite international GPriders

Via msn sub screen names.

Or whatever you call them.

Fei:

Care for a cup of coffee, Anky

Dawn:

High tea with Isabell.

Kath:

Lunch with the best - AndreasHelgstrand

Fei started it.

She told me to write:

"lunch with Anky"

And when she saw AndreasHelgstrand:

With moon-eye, mouth-pipe. He pipes. Pipes green. Pipes water. says:

'go and die kath! '

HAHAHA.

(I think we've all lost it.)

[edit]

Fei just changed Jun's for her. It now says:

"Midnight cookies with Zara"

and i thought we were limited to GPDRESSAGE only.

Haha!

[/edit]

2007-07-18T21:05:00.000+08:00

Ramblings...

[DisjointedPostStart]

Jun say "Kath, blog!"

So i must blog.

Otherwise i'll hear no end of it from her tommorrow.

Speaking of which: tommorrow's Thursday! :D

I just seriously LIVE for Thursdays.

... and Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Mum and Dad are back from the US.

They got me the WICKED PIANO SCORE! :D

The chords are COOLIO!

I'm working on it but my sight reading kinda sucks.

Do you think the wizard is DUMB?

Or like munchkins so small-minded, NO!

Tommorrow is going to be either

SUNSHINE or TIKKI

if it's sunshine i'm swapping with dawn.

With simple utter loathing

There's a strange exhilaration

In such total intestation

It's so pure so stronggg...

I sat out of PE today cuz of my toe.

It was nice to have an excuse. Lol.

They played soccer.

Guess who ended up tracking down stray balls.

'Specially Lallu's. :P

Dancing through life

Skimming the surface

Gliding where turf is smooth

I'm pioneering this new invention.

KATHERAPY

Francis has kindly agreed to be the Guinea Pig

the PAYING Guinea Pig. :P

It's $999237865107329.56 per minute.

Plus GST.

I'm going to buy my horse continent with my new fortune.

No need to wait for the zillionaire anymore. (:

Dawn's the Guru/Katherapist-in-training.

She's learning the exculsive art of Katherapism.

How wonderful!

*proceeds to launch into Wicked's Wonderful.

Wonderful!

They called me wonderful!

So I said "Wonderful, If you insist.

I will be Wonderful."

So they said "Wonderful"

Believe me it's hard to resist.

We shall be DEFYING GRAVITY

in the medical world

with this new smashing breakthrough.

It's time to try Defying Gravity

I think I'll try Defying Gravity

and you can't pull me down!

2007-07-10T21:10:00.001+08:00

And Who Knew?

'' I'm, like, a natural blonde?

But i totally dye my hair brunette"

Well, well, well

Look who's talking.

Tikki ~~Torture~~ Therapy

The title says it all.

So now Thursdays equals

My therapy session for stress relief,

courtesy of EmeraldTikki!

Ex-rda pony helping relieve stress.

very apt, doncha think?

and then Jun burst my bubble:

"Kaath! Why do you think RDA shipped him to BTSC?"

Sue also said:

"AWW! Look at that! You see why she wants to ride Tikki?"

(to no one in particular. haha.)

while he bucked. High.

I do miss my crazy ponies and horses!

Canter was horrid though.

Left rein was okay. Buuut:

RIGHT REIN! CORNERS!

BIGG problem.

But he goes easier into a frame now.

The problem is keeping his head down in transitions.

So, somethings to work at for the next month.

I like my challenges. (:

2007-07-02T10:07:00.000+08:00

RDALeaderTraining

right. i'm finally getting down to blogging aboutr da.
which has gone on for... what? many zillions of months?

i think my procrastination streak has reached new heights.

to make-up, this post will be indepth and LONG.

happy, Dawn? lol.

Saturday!

was assigned to tack up J.P.

(johnathan-peter maybe? there's a thought. ahaha.)

he's grouchy about being tacked up!

he actually BUCKED when he was cross tied.

and i had trouble getting him to accept the bit.

like Chuckie! only far worse.

eventually got it in.

with a lot a lot of "help" from Bee.

who really just stood there

and refused to help me.

i suppose that's her way of getting us to learn?

warmup was very good.

did transitions, walk-halt, halt-walk

and a few trots. he's wonderfully responsive!

parking practise was so-so.

but the last one was PERFECT (:

i think J.P's bipolar:

horrid in the stables,

angel in the arena. seriously.

then switched with farhana to sShamus

he's the sweetest thing ever! (:

like shaggy scottish/irish pony cute

he was responsive too.

but he got a little distracted by the construction

towards the end.

Jun didn't have a horse to switch to.

so bee got her to go get a helmet and pretend to be a rider.

caitlin geraint francis and

some sidewalkers who came for training

got to be fake disabled riders tooo!

suzi lead geraint.

and she was trying SO hard not to laugh.
dawn and paint got francis,

who was a horrible fake rider.

stood in the middle with farhana trying

so very hard not to laugh, but really,

all the real-life riders made it a huge hilarious riot. haha

bee then got the remaining leaders to switch again

got rRuby. fast, but very sweet and responsive to voice

she's LOVELY! <3

so she goes in the list with:

mMistoff/Toffee and dear old sweet trotter-wannabe fFraggle (:

Bee then got three sidewalker trainees over

one mounted and the other 2 were sidewalkers.

i think the rider was a tad bit scared but

they were all fun to work with.

so ran through walk-halt and halt-walk

"walk on" and "whoa"

dismounted after a bit

and benghua taught them basic dismount

and how to put stirrups up etc.

then stood around again till bee stole

one of dawn's side walkers over.

bee made her do a thigh hold the whole time. ><

then practised dismounting again.

... without the rider. :P

the session was more or less over after that

lead the horses back to be untacked

and brush the arena sand off their hooves

there was a shortage of stalls though. so

horses like J.P. were untacked in their stalls

who i'm guessing was probably too relieved

to have his tack off to be grumpy about anything.

had to tie MissRuby to the fence next to the paddocks though.

i think she was jealous of mMistoff and the others

happily grazing away. So quickly untacked her

and brushed her off so she won't hate me that much

and put her away.

actual sessions start next week!

we shall put all that training to good use!

... i hope. ><

Happyy!

So five things to be happy about:
1) Exams are OVER and DONE!
2) No school tomorrow and Friday
3) Riding CHUCKIE tomorrow. Which I haven’t done in eons ((:
4) UK trip!
5) Oh. I don’t really have a number five. I’m just darn happy. (:

------------------------------------------

Oh! Today, after the physics paper,
Me and Su gave Kuh-laaare her belated present!
We gave her an official KMVCorp letter.
All in the proper format and printed nicely.
(She was so touched cause I used the shiny paper?)
And a coupon booklet!
(Which looked quite convincing if I do say so myself.)
The coupons entitled her to:

“ONE DAY FREE OF TEASING

Aka: We stop cease end all effective teasing for the duration of ONE full school day.

Now isn’t that nice? :) ”

And the ‘stop’ and ‘end’ were substituted with road signs.
I THINK she was touched? Haha.
Were you Kuh-laaare?
You just kept talking about the paper lahh!

But she DID say: “Wah! Only got NINE coupons arh?”
Sorry Kuh-laaare!
But we also only can put up with so many days of NOT teasing you.
HAHA! So

HAPPY (belated) 16th BIRTHDAY

to the

LORD SENECHAL

and ROYAL TCLC (:

love!

Switcheroooo!
Yesterday, me and shell switched our wallets.
So now, she has my black and white BumEquipment one.
(which i so venomously HATE)
And i have her purple mock-croc skin purple one.
The switch is till monday.
My wallet is now so "bloody huge"
And her's is "f-ing small"
Lol.

--------------------------------------

Shell: Now that we've switched wallets, lets switch other things! Like... pencil cases!
(she apparently made this comment without thinking. haha)

Kath: *makes grab for pencil case* YOU DO NOT TOUCH MINE!

Shell: Like i want a huge f-ing magenta HANDBAG for my pencil case.

Kath: *outraged* It is NOT a handbag!

Shell: *rolls eyes*

New Room!

Is tiny small and compact

BUT i get it to myself

So i'm happy (:

Interior design isn't really my forte.

Happy Easter! :D

Tommorrow's the BIG DAY

I really hope i don't screw upp... /:

or sing thorugh my nose!

urgh.

I guess some old habits die hard.

I think this is funny:

"Oh... I get it now... i think? So you going at 9 to praise God... Then go again LATER (at the 10.45 Mass) and kill off people on the day Jesus rises with your equestrian war cry, yes?"

- John's take of events tommorow.

HAHA.

Rolex FEI World Cup Dressage Finals

ANKY VAN GRUNSVEN IS NOT COMPETING AT LAS VEGAS!

ANDREAS HELGSTRAND

AND MATINE ARE!!! =D

I guess you know who i'm rooting for now :P

HOWEVER!

There is, as always, potential competition:

and so in random order, we have...

KyraKurkland & Max -Finland

ImkeSchellekensBartels & Sunrise - TheNetherlands

IsabellWerth & WarumNichtFRH - Germany

EdwardGal & Gribaldi - TheNetherlands

And they're ALL from the western european league*.

Somehow, the rest of the leagues don't seem all that threatening...

*FYI: Asia has NO ONE.

Zip, zero zilch.

Sighh...

------------------

Oh and i got caught wearing my purple hair BOBBLE** to school today.

We were all hanging around outside class when Mr Tang came over and said "i can see someone wearing the WRONG hair tie colour to school today."

Was talking to Doochess Amy and turned around and went "WHO?!" and noticed he was staring at MEEE! ><

So i took off my BOBBLE** and realised i tied the wrong one this morning -_-"

Plus he told me my BLUE hairband was not complementing the uniform and couldn't wear it. GAHH. Back to clips i suppose.

**Fancy English term (from England no less) for a hair tie

Courtesy of Sue :P

And i just realised my reaction was a total Kuh-laaare move.

KUH-LAAARE! Stop influencing me! Haha.

Possibly My Last Post…

I can’t even see my own blog lah!
I tried on every computer I’ve encountered

How freakily weird?! But here goes…

I’M SORRY MY DARLING BONANZA- !

(publishes…)

[edit]
Okay. Still nothing.
I think jun was right. Blogger sucks.
I think I shall switch to diaryland…
DAWNN I THINK I NEED HELP!! ><

That is if you are even reading this, because you haven’t been online to send me camp pics! BTW WHY IS NOONE BLOGGING?! Everyone’s pages are deaddd. Stagnant. Mouldy. Decomposing. Melting. Disintergrating. Falling to pieces.

... Why am I rambling?

Oh yes. Because I am upset and can’t read my own blog or tagboard. Harharhar. Nice joke blogger. I don’t like you. I am switching to diaryland…

Yes shell, your fellow president of KM is finally going looney. [/edit]

~~Cloth~~ Potato Ruffles!

I'm now obsessed with potato ruffles.

And it's all DAWN {insert aforementioned's surname}'S* FAULT!

Now i'm going to get FAT FAT FAT.

And it's all HER fault!

Spanish Dressage You Say?

Lobo's a prat.
A very CUTE prat. haha!

Thursday was a nice three people lesson:

Me and Lobo

Jun and Biscuit

Dawn and Sunshine.

Lobo was just so adorable!
Sue made me wear my SHINY new spurs
And we went up and CANTERRREDDD like crazy on both reins.
He's DARN easy to get in a frame.

Who would've thought....

So then we went back into the arena to join the rest

Then we did shallow loops and leg yields
Lobo gives NICEE leg yields
...or maybe it was the spurs
which i accidently put on UPSIDE DOWN >.<

then canter.

we did a few nice circles etc

then sue wanted us to try CANTER leg yields!

Lobo bolted

i think it was my fault cause i tensed too much /:

So sue took of my spurs and we tried again.

To no avail unfortunately.

After we finished sue was like

"Lobo's having fun charging around!

He doesn't usually get to do this you know?

It's only when experienced riders get on

and he know they won't fall of

then OFF HE BLOWS!

Now how can you say he's not fun!"

And she gave this mock offended look :P

2007-01-22T19:09:00.000+08:00

hello pollyanna!

Okay those last few post were so not me
they just sound so teenage-anguish-depressed
look-at-me-i'm-drowning-in-my-own-misery-and self-pity type.
how... eww.
not to mention cliche.
i guess i'm just a bit stressed out
and those events just came at a bad time.

i'm so getting the old me out again.

and to start:

RIDING POSTS! :D
which i haven't done in a long time ya?

Thursdayy:
It was pouring buckets.
The one litre variety, mind.
So there was: me and sonny,
jun and tikki (with spurs!),
dawn and SUNHINE (BIG surprise. lol.)
Caro and glory.

We four managed to

(after much wheedling, begging and grovelling)

convince sue that the above was rideable weather.

and all gleefully went to mount.

Sonny was cute in a way.

he ABSOLUTELY refused to step out of his stall

but then when i did get him out

he seemed pretty HAPPY being in the rain.

So then we went up to terra and did open order

cuz sue couldn't yell that loud to be heard over the rain.

so started with walk-halt transitions.

then trot transitions.

sonny's sitting trot is HEAVENLY btw.

like songkla's.

Then started with circles

did 20m and 15m but the 10m ones just SUCKED.

sonny didn't want to flex though.

and and he bolted a few times.

he's REALLY whip-shy.

i guess maybe it was the rain?

After a while it started to get really heavy

so sue made us go down /:

but i'm still glad we rode (:

even if it was just for 15 mins.

I'm riding him on thursday again.

but that my LAST ride before the comp!

stupid dawnnn has her stupid sats! /:

so i have to do it ALONE.

TWO-PID DAWN!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

i'm HAPPY! XD

2007-01-21T09:11:00.000+08:00

In Memory...

i was actually going to write something,

but then this happened.

i guess i never really knew,

that life could be so cruel.

And that i was so attached to you.

RIP my silly pretty girl.

2007-01-08T19:38:00.000+08:00

Rants

I just needed to let all this out:

Fkljhs:

i just read your blog.

To think human life has sunk to

THAT kind of an all time low.

You think you're so perfect,

so "above" everyone,

lounging up there on your hoity-toity pedestal,

ordering us "mere mortals" about.

Well, guess what honey?

It's not all sunshine and rainbows.

You better WAKE UP!

and get that swelled up head of your's out of those clouds.

NbgherfL:

I hope one day you finally realise,

how much of an irritating, pretentious,

egotistical, presumtious DESPO you are.

You think you can barge right into my life,

screw it up SO bad,

and i'd THANK (of all people), YOU for it?

PUH-leeze.

Guys like you ought to be BANNED.

and btw: the pity factor?

It ain't work no more, twit.

This isn't 1865 you know?

And the best for last,

Nharlyonic:

if only wishing wands worked.

then i'd take one

and wave it 'round

to wish you away and out of MY LIFE!

You may look like you have it all,

but even daddy can't buy this for you.

I hope you're happy where you are,

cause it'll always stay this way.

I won't even SAY how much i depise people like you.

2007-01-07T15:35:00.000+08:00

My Simply SCANDALOUS Life Ambition...

When i grow up,

I want to marry a

MULTI-ZILLIONAIRE

(... If there's such a thing.

If not i'll happily settle for multi-billionaires.)

Then proceed to bankrupt him by

buying a COUNTRY of stables

and other itty bitty things like that.

Hee!

I promised Dawn (:

And The Procrastinator Finally Gets Back To Blogging...

Sue's birthday was SO FUN!

And it was a COMPLETE SUCCESS :D

Hee! So now we have not only broken into the office

but sue and sandra's car as well :D

Maybe if this vet thing doesn't work out

we can be "pra-fess-sha-nal" breaker-inners of things

or surprise party planners!

The official "SUE-perstar" Mirror!

I LOVE THE EQTS!!! :D

2006-11-22T09:16:00.000+08:00

Christmas Deco

We just put up the christmas tree.

I think we all deco-ed untill 10.30 last night.

Hee! It was fun.

And there was a fair share of broken glass bulbs too.

Though thank goodness we didn't break

last year's record of 15 :P

I can't believe it's nearly christmas...

2006-11-10T22:51:00.000+08:00

The Very Very Overdue Birthday Post...

Yes jun.

i know i'm very mean not blogging about that STUPENDOUS birthday surprise you guys gave me but i lost my password and blogger didn't sent it till NOW!

You guys can read from Daph, Dawn, Fei and Jun's blogs about how DENSE i was about the whole surprisey thing. :P
In fact i was dense enough to fall for THREE surprises.

a) School

They got me a CHOCOLATE CAKE!

And we couldn't cut it at all.

Even with the big meat cleaver from the canteen :P

But it's not because of my lack of strength okayy!

It was fresh from the fridge because

sherry got her dad to drive down specially to deliver it just before recess.

AND they all signed a card

AND still got me presents!

and i got a nice CROWN too!

HRH Kathleen Tan, Princess! XD

So to Sherry, Shell, Megan, Chrys, Clare aka Kuh-LAIIRE, MinSu, Cecilia, Steffie, Sam, Elsie, Gabriella, Rachel, Sandesh, Nadia

(i hope i didn't forget anyone!)

and of course the rest of 3/1 '06

THANK YOU!!! :D

b)Junction Eight

So after school, Clare dragged me and Minsu down to junction eight to go buy Su's belated birthday present.

We nearly had lunch at the food court on L4 but went to Macdonald's in the end.

and MS CLARE HUI was supiciously kept smsing SOMEONE thorughout lunch.

She also had a "very SHORT jaunt to bread talk"

AND she bought me a FRAPPUCINO.

Suspicious behavior indeed.

Then after lunch we went up to go find something when Madame Clare suddenly got a call from her "Dad" who told her to meet him at the MRT Station.

Clare of course suddenly became very distraught and didn't want to leave me and Su early before we got the present and INSISTED we go down THREE floors with her to the station to beg "daddy" to let her stay.

Me, being the lazy pig i am, protested violently and she ended up quite literally DRAGGING me down the three floors.

So we rounded the corner and BOOM.

Guess who.

Megan, Cecilia, Aaron, John, Brandon(complete with tennis racket) and Gareth.

I think i nearly died of shock.

So they dumped all the parcels into my already VERY heavy plastic bag.

And i, in turn, dumped the bag aaron and he had to carry it the rest of the way. Lol.

Thank you to you too.

So they started talking about the WHOLE plan while we went up.

Some points of duscussion:

They actually planned to surprise us before lunch but john (who apparently co-planned the surprise with clare) was still at HOME when we three and the others arrived at J8.
The "dad" was john.
The frap was from aaron who very also sms-ing clare the whole time.
The "short jaunt to BreadTalk" was for him to pass the cash to clare.
We couldn't eat at the food court because brandon and gareth were up there before.
I was the most stupidest person in the whole entire world.

c)RIDING
Daph, Dawn Fei and Jun have all blogged in great detail.

Especially about the "dense-ness" of your truly.

They would also be able to give you an accurate and "unbiased" account of the events.

I shall quote from them and summarise...

The photos stolen from dawn btw.

OF THE PRESENT:

Meet, The JAR!
To Kath
From Chun Fei Daph Jun Dawn Viv Prema

Dawn:
"jun fei daph chun and i went shopping separately and bought a huge jar, dozens of hair accessories, and spurs for kath's surprise present! the final present would be this beeyootiful jar decorated and all, full of hair accessories & spurs and personalised as well as crappy notes!"

Daph:
"we gave her these really cool things in this big glass jar. we filled it with loads of rubber bands, clips, hair rollers etc. and we also put in a horseshoe, a pair of spurs (cos she really wanted a pair) and lots of little notes, both random and heartfelt."

OF THE "BEFORE" EVENTS:

Dawn:
"it was raining heavily and we needed stationery
so i ran in the rain to the office.
i tried to break into the office
but couldn't remember the code!
the code is KATH'S SPECIALTY
but of course, we couldn't call her! :/
finally, i managed to break the code! hahah!
after i stole the stationery needed
there was LIGHTNING all over the place!
i totally didn't dare run back to the clubhouse :/
what with the saddleclub's infamous history of lightning strikes!
finally, jun and fei came to rescue me :D
so i wasn't scared anymore
because fei is so tall
the lightning would strike her first!"

Jun:
"it poured, then stopped, then started raining again /: was kinda annoying ! me fei and dawn went early to do kath's gorgeous jar ! so me and fei sent darling dawn to the office to get sticky stuff and marker. we forgot the lock code ! only kath knows but as if dawn could call and say, hi kath im getting a marker to do your preent can you give me the lock code ? so we guess and guess and we got it ! hurray ! then suddenly the thunder started roaring and guess what ? the stupid ass dawn was too scared to come back, even with the umbrella ! me and fei were hopping around for 10 minutes thinking about what to do with that idiot. we rescued her in the end ! it was pouring and the water just soaked right through out shoes, thanks dawn ! "

Fei:
"anyways went to the club at 2.30 today. met dawn who was all ready to conquer the wet wet wet weather. we told dawn to go get tape from sandra's office and after she went she didnt dare to come back out cause she was frecked out about all the lightning and thunder and was afraid she may get striked! so jun and i had to go over to save her. making our school shoes soaking wet! "dawn come on, i am taller, if lightning were to strike it'll strike me first!" only after i said that did dawn hurriedly took her umbrella and followed us back to the club house! jun and i had a puddle of water in our shoes! so after that we we did kath's bottle and went to ride."

OF THE "DENSENESS" OF MOI
/ OF THE TRICKS PLAYED ON POOR ME:

Fei:
"it was kath's birthday today and she really fell for ALL our lies! hahaha! kath kath havent you learnt since the bangkok trip? jun, nat and fei went missing!?! "

Jun:
"and kath was hilarious the whole way. she actually believed fei was the only one there and that i was having guides and dawn pw ! either our acting's good or kath's dense. i go for the second option. kath, you got tricked two years running ! so fei was smsing kath who she was riding and kath would update everything to dawn immediately while dawn would read her message out while standing beside me and fei ! it was real funny :D "

Dawn:
"fei spoke to kath on the phone
and kath asked which horses we got today
stupid fei went to call my name to ask me!
she nearly let the cat out of the bag!
luckily, kath, being so dense, didn't notice! :P
i told fei the horses, and she told kath.
THEN, kath went to sms ME to tell me!
hahaha gosshh, kaaaath!
i replied her saying "oh.." and stuff
acting like i didn't already know!
HAHAH.
stupid kath fell for it all!"

ed's note:
I AM SO NOT THAT DUMB LAHH! The 9th of November just does weird things to my brain...

OF THE RIDE:

Jun:
"riding ! i was on oatie, dawn magic, prema on lobo, tirtha on sunshine, kath on stanley.noone wished kath happy birthday :D mette took us. her lesson is actually good ! tiring, for one thing. i think i ride better in the rain. when i got red in a frame, it was raining. when i had a real workout yesterday, it was raining. hmm.oatie wasnt exactly forward, so it took abit of whipping and all my leg power to get her to wake up.she was nice (: she goes in a frame so easily ! really needs more impulsion though. oatie's nice but tricky, if you dont pay attention down her head goes ! poor mette, i was so focused on my riding sometimes what she was saying just turned into this background sound sort of thing ! plus, it was raining. so i was quite blur some bits.we did the half circle off the track thingy, it was fun :D then oatie started leaning and leaning. i half halted upwards and squeezed but she kept leaning again ! tsk. need to get her more in front of the leg, as usual /: i think maybe i dont know how to apply leg pressure effectively! "

Dawn:
"riding lesson..me & magic
kath on stanley
jun on oatie
prema on..uh don't remember!
tirthaa on sunshineee!
chun & fei in a semi,
on bilco and stanley respectively.

mette took us cos sue's on leave
magic's really good! (:
except like, huge and i don't have
a lot of influence on him size-wise!
and he's like stronggg! like pulls.
so half-halt, don't pull back
and sit back, although it's a tendency
to lean forward to lock your arms.
did quite a bit of sitting trot
my right leg still needs to push down!
magic's trot is not thaaat bad to sit to,
big and bouncy as it is!
he's real nice to flex though!
right flexion has improved!
must be sue's schooling lah! :D "

Fei:
"rode bea chun was on bilco. it was raining when we were riding. so annoying i tell you ,the rain. but thank god there was no thunder or lightning then so were could ride! bea was nice i must say. she didnt run and wasnt that nervous and fresh. so we trot and did some half loops and kept changing the reins and mantaining bend and flexsion in sitting trot and all. then we cantered. there are so many things to think about while cantering bea. its tricky! hahaha! but the lesson was nice. "

ed's note:
Stan was NICEE! :D and he flexes nice! i'm just a hopeless failure at flexing him in trot without side reins. But i LOVEE his sitting trot.

OF THE SURPRISE:

Daph:
"cabbed down to saddle club after that to surprise kath. we gave her these really cool things in this big glass jar. we filled it with loads of rubber bands, clips, hair rollers etc. and we also put in a horseshoe, a pair of spurs (cos she really wanted a pair) and lots of little notes, both random and heartfelt. we planned to hide in the toilet cubicles, off the lights and surprise her, but tirtha's mother walked in, turned the lights on and spoilt the whole surprise ): that was sadddddddd. she was quite excited by her present though
Dawn:
"then the big bash!
everyone except me and kath went to hide in the toilet
the plan was for me to bring kath to the toilet
after everyone else
and the lights would be off
and everyone would suddenly jump out and yell 'surprise'
then we give her the jar?

however! when i led kath to the toilet,
i could see from the crack under the door
that the lights were on!
i hesitated for very long, haha
i seriously didn't know what to say or do!
finally i decided to just lead kath in.
i was supposed to say "eh? blackout ah?"
so the gang would know it was us
but now there was no blackout!

after a while, everyone jumped out of the cubicles
and they went "aiyaaa, plan fail already!"
it turned out that tirtha's mum went in
so they couldn't off the lightssss! :(
but oh well!

we gave kath the jar and
she was realllll pleased! :D
kath tried on the funky hair stuff.
she forced me to try too!
kathhh, why you so dense?!
get tricked by us two years in a row! hahah!"

Jun:
"we went and hid in the toilet cubicles and switched off the light according to plan. we heard footsteps, then the light came on ! we were like, darn ! dawn was supposed to come with kath in the dark and go like, wah, blackout ah ? that would be our queue to burt out yelling "happy birthday !" but tirtha's mom beat them to it and when dawn and kath came in the light was on ! we let dawn stone around with kath in the toilet for a few minutes then fei was like, i give up ! failed plan ! and we all came out ! so sad. but at least kath's present was nice (: she and dawn had fun putting on the wacky hair accessories."

OF THE POST-SURPRISE EVENTS:

Jun:
" we went back to the stables and played hanky panky with our butts ! poor prema didnt know the game so she lost ! haha ! should have taken a picture. we HAVE to take pictures !down by bank of the hanky pankywhere the bullfrog jumps from bank to bankyand a fee fi fo fumwho's got a smelly bumone two three four five six seven eight nine ten ! :D

Daph:
"walked around and we all relived our childhood days by playing those weirdo hand games at the stables. people must have thought we were crazy, but we were having fun :D chun, please stop saying i'm suicidal, I'M NOT. :D oh oh oh ! we played with dawn's super-cute sister Erin today. she didn't like chun and fei much though. fei was like "you can be a princess like me" HAHAH. she just kinda stared at us, then she went "mommy....." and burst out crying ): i swear, she's damn cute. DAWN, I WANT YOUR SISTER !"

I'm now confirmed KATHLEEN.

HAHA!

The mass was really meaningful.

And the hyms were all REALLY nice (:

We took LOADS of photos

... Which i have yet to recieve. lol.

The dinner was FUN

I hardly got to eat at all though. Haha.

We were running all over the place trying to coordinate our...

horrendously last minute "thank you!" performances dedicated to all the cathechists

I had HEAPS and HEAPS of fun though!

3)On to other more important matters...

My birthday's in TWO days!

I feel old.

Stupid Clare Aaron Megan and John are in cahoots.

I SUSPECT something...

But they won't tell me what it is.

Only that i'll find out after school on thursday.

I hate the suspense. lol.

Yet Another Horsie Post!

Thursday:

Got BEA

she was kinda fresh.

Think it was the weather?

She bolted like twice before the "fatal" one.

Typical princess :P haha!

Anyhoo, we were working on flexion on the centreline

when she suddenly did like 5 steps of FAST trot

then apparently a stride of canter

and then ONE HUGE BUCK

head down.

And OFF i flew.

OVER her head.

Apparently i did a flip?

All i remember is flying :P

Dawn and Prema later told me that their mounts

(Sun and Bilco respectively)

both BOLTED.

Sorry guys!

Sandra was schooling Darcy in nearby.

She got off and schooled Bea

Sue led Darcy and the rest of us down.

The girls were pretty cute about it though

Sophie's eyes were like SOO big.

It was pretty funny to watch. :P

And Libby Swinfield's mom said my fall looked very dramatic

and even tried to show me how i landed.

Apparently she thought i'd been knocked out or something!

Friday:

it was pretty much a let down of a lesson for me

AND it was on Chuckie.

What a waste man!

Dawn came to watch

She took some REALLY good pictures.

:D :D :D

...except i kept looking down in most of them.

Must learn to pull a 'Marina'! ;)

Me and Dawn also gave Nat her VERY belated birthday present:

A RED flymask for champ!

Hope it fits!

Three Whole New Reasons to Live :P

Reason number one:

Aaron and John still owe me THREE coffeebean iceblended-s between the two of them.

Not to mention Aaron still owing me (from last year) a:

"black warmblood/hanoverian-cross mare at least 16hh high and with excellent gaits and tempermant".

And all the way from EUROPE no less :P

Reason number two:

Marks and Spencer's "Percy Pig and Friends" gummies :D"

Percy Pig"s were very nice indeed but this one has Percy and coke COWWS and vanilla SHEEP! XD

Reason number threee:

Feeling VERY "prafesshanal" riding MAGIC :D

Most especially doing leg yields and walk-canter transitions.

And FLYING CHANGES! <3>

I did my very first FLYING CHANGE!

On HIM!

and it was on PURPOSE!

And sue said it looked VERYGOOD!:D

YAY MAGIC!

(A little credit must also go to the youtube dressage videos most especially the ones beloww...)

'Tis The Season To Be...

To complete my title...

a) Blog changing

I've changed url and blogskin...

Dawn's changed url.

And jun changed her skin

It's all such an uncanny coincidence!

lol :D

b) Hair cutting

Namely, Sandra, Fei and...

me. *wails*

And the stupid guy didn't do a good job.

In fact, he gave me THE worst haircut EVER!

AND I don't know how i'm going to tied it up for school tommorow

I just hope i don't get booked /:

But as chun said, it's a lesson learnt.

And that is to NEVER, EVER trust weird-looking trainee guy stylists .

especially those who posess tight artificially-looking coloured corkscrew curls with bleached ends.

urgh. *shudder*

c) "Tag" ged

Tagboard.com has gone completely bonkers.

So i got a LOVELY new c-box board.

Which is WAYYY down there...

You know what to do ;)

I also owe Tanja and cuz 'Manda their tags.

I don't really feel like doing them now

I shall save them for a "rainy" day

Do remind me (:
