Reunited

Reunited.
Met up w/. Acc a few days ago. Me,mand,tep,dwi,mel. Wah..been so long since i meet up w them! catching up on loads of things. Reminiscing abt our old highsch times..it truly seems like ages ago when we were still juniors and played band at manda's house, plus our 'videoclip' and journals. Then at the spur of e moment, decided to booked a room and spent the night there. Midnite search for a 24-hrs oh lala cafe plus one hr looking for a parking spot! n fiddling wit e bass/sound sys in my car, finally can get a nice blasting sound. Probably the nxt time we can meet up again is nxt yr..hopefully can get my us visa sorted so can go visit tephi there :)

The best part of this week :
meet my babies!! Kimmy, Chief, n Zinnie!!!!!
went to Bandung. Stayed at Jeanne's place for 4 days. Went to the stable every morning to ride my babies there, Kim n Chief :) Chief is still as frisky as ever. Omg, he's 14 this year but he's still behaving like a 4-yr old most of the times. He's been there wit me through all these past 8 yrs, thr countless training and lessons and competitions. He's getting older though, he looked older. but when i jumped him, he still feels as young as ever! Steven sure has been riding him well, as he feels as good and as responsive as he always is. Also he still loves jumping so much.

Kim is still the lady she always is. She looked up the moment she heard me called her name, then she still demands her usual share of carrots. Still can't believe she managed to get 4 clear rounds with Ferry, and won this yr's Indonesian Jumping Challenge in e most prestigious class!! Kimmy, wit her attitudes..but frm wht i heard, ferry rode her perfectly tht time (she got v.v powerful hindlegs, but short, curvy built..not tall). Feel like a super proud parent now. She's soo honest when jumping! omg..i put her thr some v.horrible distance thr the cavaletti..but she helped me all the way.

And last but not least, the baby Zinnie. She's 2 1/2 yrs old this yr..she's such a sweetie. Dun think she recognised me though, since i only saw her once a yr. She's been trained well, happily picking up her feet when i asked her to..and happily let me brush n groom her. Such a lovely filly she is.

Plus had a lot of catching up w jeanne...lots of reminiscing again..realised we had known each other for a long long time. wondering wht had happened wit the rest of the horsy ppl we always hang out together at competitions. talking abt our lives now in UK (mine) and hers in Eindhoven. And also went to this christian gathering at her house (i stayed at her house for like..4days), and it makes me realised i actually miss the masses. I haven't been to a lot of mass for this 1 yr. And i realised i missed it. Hearing all the familiar church songs and the familiar phrases frm e bible..hmm..it makes me feel secure and i miss those totally secure feeling when you have troubles and you just place ur faith in God. Maybe i really shd start going to the church a bit more nxt yr.
