First Horse RidingCuili has been asking mi for horse riding few mths back. The busy mi always fly her kite. Finalli this wkend, i managed to find the time to go horse riding! The horse riding sch is in the malaysian tech uni which is a 20mins taxi ride away from the check point.
I am amazed at how a small stable can hold as many as 20 horses and ponies. Stable aside, the riding sch is big to accomodate huge training fields.

My instructor is the guy in black. He is an endurance rider who represented Malaysia to take part in a 160km race, meaning he would have to
spend at least 9 hours on the horse! He is a very patient instructor. Slowly with clear instructions, he guides mi from climbing on the horse, walk and trot the horse and also getting down the horse. He stops at times to correct moi mistakes but never loses his temper. Thanks!

The horse i ride on is called
Mummy Jane - a seasoned champion horse that has won tremendous awards but has now retired. Sitting on mummy, i felt realli tall. As she starts to walk, i was so thrilled! When i am comfortable with mummy, the instructor proceed to trotting. When the horse trots, i will be bumped up and down. Hence, i would need to stand up and down according to the rhythmn of the horse when she is trotting. Definitely, it is hard!
I felt like i was going to fall over sometimes! But.... is realli fun! Instructor says i am doin well for a first timer... Hee...

Before we left, the horses had a nice shower.
After riding, we were famished. So we had lunch @ city sq. The food are not realli fantastic but i tink the drinks made up for it. Looking forward to the next riding session. Haha.. is definitely enjoyable except i had to wake up at 6 plus in the morning and the aches the next day.
Reunion Lunch and Dinner
After horse riding, i rushed for moi highlights. Hmmm not realli satisfied as the colours are not realli observable. I had a early reunion dinner with moi paternal family @ a restaurant on Tion Bahru. They serves shanghainese food which is not realli moi cup of tea. However, the food is nice.
We are early...
On sunday, had another reunion late lunch with moi maternal family. This time is @ moi house. yeah... have been eating a lot these days.. and i guess the eating will continue for the next 2 wks.. Haha.. better exercise more!
What a spread!
