Dear diaryYou guessed right, my fav colour is blue! We have a sunny warm day in Kwazulu Natal today and the waves should be lovely for the Quicksilver Pro this weekend. I suppose my mom will be running around like a "Japanese tourist" to try and cover the event. I truly hope she is not going to leave me alone for too long, I really really miss her when she goes out for the day, what with my dad being at the office as well.My dad is into horse racing and he is a very very clever person! He can tell you who has won the July in any year! He works so hard and such long hours. I dont know how he does it. I believe sometimes he has 9 different venues around the world, from Dubai, Uk, Sweden and locally and each centre has 9 races each, that is a lot of horse racing!For you that do not know anything about horse racing, I have picked up some of the rules and the way it works. All these horses walk around in this space called the parade ring and from what I can understand, just showing off! Then they go down to the start and into the pens, that is little boxes with gates and next thing someone shouts "and away they go"! Well, if I had to follow that routine every day, I will kick in my heels and refuse to leave my box, but it does not work that way at all! The horses also has to do their bit. I have heard my mom from time to time saying "I have paid for their feeding", mm, must be when she has had a little "flutter" on them ponies and they did not perform the way she wanted them to perform, but that is life!Back to my dad, even though he works such long hours, as in night racing tomorrow night, he always makes time to play with me and allows me on his shoulder every night and spoil me with a lovely bite! I love him so much and as long as he enjoys his job and his lovely punters, we will always support him!Well, with my dad's busy schedule I am now only seeing "petshop boys" tomorrow but I understand. The wait was worthwile because tomorrow I get to choose my birthday gift. Some advise for any punters out there that would like to have a "little flutter on them ponies", play with your head and not your pocket! See you around!
