Friday Night


Hellooo...
its Friday night!!
weekend is here!!
thx God


p.s : pic on the left was taken abt 4 mths ago in Attica, clubbing event by IC Indo Soc :) ..Looking good!!

Missed 2 whole days of school on Wed & Thurs (22nd & 23rd of Feb) since we got BUSA A team competitions..
Wed, 22nd : in Lee Valley Riding Centre (UCL as host)..Rode Bailey (big,BIG, dark bay mare..lovely stride & canter..kinda TOO fwd going in trot) did a very acceptable test, even tho its not v.incredible in particular, but passable test I think. Sadly, the judge was rather an unpleasant man I guess..very harsh markings! 5-5-5-4-4-4..but with nice comments, "nice rhytm.." etc..very VERY weird way of marking. Freeze our butt off while waiting for the show jumping..lunch & walk the course while carrying a plat of choc chip cookies & drank hot chocs while dunking cookies :)
Jess did a nice test on white-grayish mare..Lucy as well..and Kat as well..we all did ok tests..
Start the jumping : 3 paint horses, 1 light chesnut. Nice easy course, small tiny fences.. well..the same girl who fell off in Snowball, fell of AGAIN! from UCL..dunno her name, but this time it was a BAD fall..the horse, Baron, just didn't pick up at all at the 3rd fence in the treble..ambulance came..tokk her to hospital (Jess being medics come very very handy in times like this)...and what the Brunel girls said : "What are we gonna do abt the individual placing?" helooo we got an injured girl here!!! can't believe them!!!!!! and they were already WINNING that time.. puh-leeaseee...
decided to cancel the jumping altogether that day.

On Thursday 23rd Feb : Last competition at Trent Park (our place !!)..dressage horses : Phoebe,Jock,Coco,Avignon..warm Jock up (could NOT get him to canter left!)..rode Avignon in the test, ok test, can do better though...this girl from (Brunel!) damn..rode a nice test on Avvy, got 151 score! damn..

Jumpers : Black Jack, Trio, Ginger, Joe..BJ just went fantastic! i think he knows he's in a competition, he just zoomed around the course! I hardly have to do anything but sit tight and steer...seriously. Trio did not threw anyone off & he went very well (bless him! like Jess said)..Joe was lovely and Ginger as well.. NOBODY FELL OFF IN OUR JUMPING!!! WO HOOO !! great improvement, considering : at Snowball : 1 air ambulance + 1 ambulance... at Lee Valley : 1 ambulance..
At the end of the day, Brunel team won..UCL 2nd..IC (us!!)3rd..haha surprise2x.. but it's ok..
Went to the pub for drinks, took tube back home..completely exhausted.

Anyway, today (Friday) went to Manda's house after school...ate dinner there (ari cooked) , Pat came..talked n watched friends a bit..did some work.. It feels really nice, I did not realise how actually I missed being around ppl.
I guess I just discovered that I'm actually more of an introvert person rather than an extrovert person..really.. :)
but yeah it was nice tonight, its been quite a while since I had the time to came and just relaxed at Manda's place..hers was one of the places I can just go anytime and feels like I'm at home :)
