Heeey Eerrrrbody. It's me yet again. So last weekend was pretty exciting! I finally went to the Gallop Stable on Saturday, and that was way coool! I got the chance to try horse-riding for a bit, and oh my heck! It roooocks! It was my first time so I was pumped for that. I have a couple of pictures that I'll put up. I was a little nervous at first heh, just because I wasn't sure how the horse would react towards me, but it's not even scary when you get onto it. Ah. I must have been a little weird-looking with the helmet on, but that's ok because it was totally worth it haha. I can't really explain how it was because it was... just a really different experience. I talked to the handler who took me for the trail ride too and asked him a few things. And the next thing I know was we ended up chatting a whole lot like old friends do lol. And he told me, the horse I rode is the most obedient of them all but the horse that was used for the person before me is a little odd. Apparently, it's easily frightened by noises and it can suddenly jump upon hearing someone's talking very loudly. Then the handler even went on to complain about his job and his manager haha. It's funny, you never know how people are going to be when you meet them. But it was really neat to know how really friendly he was lol. In that way, I wouldn't felt so awkward, you know?
Oh and there was a very, verryy big thunderstorm right after that. So the trail-riding activity had to stop. And the scariest part was that the entire place is so freakishly open and the only shelter everyone had was the cafe. But even the middle of the cafe is open air sitting. There were a number of times when we could literally see the aggressive lightning struck near the cafe. It was sooo much dangerous but still, there was this caucasian family who allowed their kids to run around. There was one part when the lightning became more intense and much closer and it exploded right in the middle of the cafe. It was dang loud that all the small kids started to cry. But it was probably one of the scariest things I have ever experienced. The weirdest thing was they left the horses out in the big storm! Oh well, I can just go on about the rain, but I just don't want to go on not making much sense. Man, there're so much to talk about! But even though I didn't get to spend a whole lot of time down there at the stable, it was still really nice. Fun stuff... It was soooo much fun just horse-riding so I've really enjoyed my little time there. I want to go back soon haha! I'm just hoping it's not gonna be thunderstorm again next time.
So another thing I got to do later that day was to watch Push at the new E!Hub at Downtown East. Me and my family contemplated on watching either Watchmen or Push at first but most of them picked Push. I say the movie's fine. It's not a great movie to many others but I have an open mind to the possibilities of unrealistic movies haha. But that wasn't the only one we watched that weekend. On Sunday, all of us snuggled at my sister's house and I know it's a pretty strange choice to watch the new Street Fighter movie. But to enjoy these types of video game adaptation movies you have to lower your expectations. Looking like Chun Li or not I still think Kristin Kreuk is awesome.... and she got to speak a little bit of Mandarin in this which was cute lol. Oh! I'll just mention one more thing before I go. This is going to sound random but that day, we also tried this new snack recipe which my mum remembered from one of the tv shows last few weeks. It's toasted bread with peanut butter, lightly coated with egg and fried. You can use jam or even nutella. It was soo addictive heh!
Well anyway, I better head out now but I'll talk to you guys later and let you know how things went this week! Probably how the DASG meetup goes to! Hasta luego.
Song of the week: Apart from David Archuleta's Barriers ("here we are lying here, it's our last final goodnight. just because it feels so good, no use pretending we're alright". I just have to sing that hah. So sorry for having David again so soon but this song is stucked in my head right now!), I'm going to add Michael Jackson's You Are Not Alone. Gotta love that song. Michael Jackson's an amazing performer and I'm glad that American Idol chose yesternight to be his week. Danny Gokey was amazing too with P.Y.T!
