I was packing last night for going to Richard's place in Urenui. Just felt like bringing a lot of stuff, but I know I don't need that much. I will wear my new pink and white stripe skirt and the pink top. I have also brought some clothes so I can change.
I am looking forward to see Richard's family and the farm. However, I have a fear of horses. I hope I can overcome that fear this weekend. It's strange, I am not afraid of sheep and cattle. Cattle and bulls are larger than horses. Maybe it's because horses are taller than cattle? This will surely be a good adventure for me.
Mum gave me some gifts that I can send to Richard's mum and sisters. I have managed to wrap them when my experiment is running. Mum suggested that I send Richard's mum a nice scarf, and I think the bag will be suitable for Bronwyn, make-up for Natalie, and the flowery scarf for Stacey. What should I get for Richard's dad? It seems kind of funny that I have got the gifts to the woman folks but not Richard's father.
I asked my boss about compensation for the glasses and he said that it's fine. The policy is that the company will pay up to $280 for the lenses and the eye test. It will help a lot.
The rugby world cup will be on tomorrow. I don't know if I can get up that early after the long drive, but I will certainly try. The rugby players are learning French and the publicity is great. Kiwi blokes are certainly invading Paris as I am typing. Good luck, All Blacks! Richard also promised that we can go goat shooting. Saturday will be a man's day.

I'm going to be really annoying and start correcting your written english. =) If you prefer to write your blog more lazily, and not care, let me know, thats fine, its supposed to be a healthy outlet right? It shouldn't become a chore . . but as I am learning Mandarin from you . . .
Anyway hopefully you will find this helpful.

!!! I have managed to !wrap them !!! (Authough you have wrapped (past tense) them, "managed to" already suggests past tense, therefore wrapped is wrong, you should use wrap. I am not familiar with all the terms used to explain proper english grammar, so my explanations of why something is wrong may not always be very good. I can only identify what is correct english, and what will betray it as your second language.)

!!! Good luck, All Blacks !!! (you forgot the s . . theres more than one All Black I hope.
If I haven't included something here, it means the rest of what you have written is 100% perfect english as far as I can see.
