Be Stupid

I love smart people. How about dealing with some not-so-smart people or some smart asses?
I have no clue. I'm trying to build tolerance for not-so-smart questions too.
Everybody whether it's a human or an animal has its own kind of mentality or intelligence. Being in a customer service industry, sometimes you need to suffer the idiocy of your clients. Some questions that simply can't be answered by me because it's a pain to lower my common sense to a whole new level.
Please be nice to me, be a little bit smarter!

New Year Resolutions

1. Improve my riding skill so that I could ride a Pegasus or Unicorn some days. Need to canter better and learn how to jump.

2. Spend more time with Hippo and Moimoi. Get more sleep with these cuddle muffins!

Hippo and Moimoi - they are good kids!

3. Improve my Japanese conversational skill - need to be more fluent.
4. Start my Violin lessons with Suzuki method - I'm terrible at reading notes.
5. Improve my archery skill so that I could go to a horseback archery clinic some days.
6. Learn something new - like fencing or polo or speaking French
7. Go swimming once a week.
8. Drink more water and eat more fruits. Less snacks.
9. Try not to order wine too often when dining out. Wine is for celebration only.
10. Lose weight!!!!!
Attitude wise - no need to change since I'm perfect the way I am.

Horse Tribute

Compound Bow VS. Recurve Bow

Compound bows allow the archer to shoot greater distances with less fatigue. Reduced fatigue promotes better accuracy, which can also be improved by the use of scopes to sight targets at a distance. Recurve bows, on the other hand, rely more heavily on the archer's technique to ensure a clean shot, making their use a more challenging experience.

However archers can only use recurve bows in the Olympics.

My Archery Lesson

Tie my hair, ready for my archery lesson!
 Long hair must be tied back, No dangling earrings/necklaces, No open-toed shoes.

Practicing archery in Palo Alto every Friday night, come join me!
I have the feeling that practicing indoor archery is like playing golf in the driving range.
Repeat the same motion over and over again whether it's shooting arrows or swinging balls.
Aim for precision and practice makes perfect!
Overall Archery is a sport of repetition.

I came across this ancient saddle - side saddle

Photograph of Queen Elizabeth II riding to trooping the colour for the last time in July 1986. The queen rode the same horse, 'Burmese', originally presented by Canadian government, from 1969 to 1986. With Charles, Prince of Wales, on the white horse to the left, and Philip, Duke of Edinburgh on the bay horse behind the Queen.
