School

Its school tomorrow. 1 week of holiday flew away just like that. What have i done during the holidays?...Games, online, youtubing and drama. Thats what i did. Reading?...yeah..total time is less than 10 minutes but al least i went to some tuition and studied there and yes it is not enough. Its time to get serious as after this week the trial exam will start and worse, i just recieved the news and just remembered that we are having physics test tomorrow..test for radioactivity i guess.. I have been sleeping early during the holidays..as early as 1++ or 2++ and i think a lot of ppl also sleep near these times, waking up at 10 or so and its just enjoying as hell. But starting from tomorrow, i will have to wake up at 5, leave at 6smth, go to school, go to tuition and all the other boring routine. The time i get to use the computer will be a lot less than usual and drumming will be no longer than half an hour. Hmph..quite annoying when thinking bout it.. Lets forget bout that and like Bren says in her pm ''Keep your head up, Keep your faith and be strong''. YEAH!

Drifting

Thre was a drifting show on the 20 and 21 of September in the Go-cart track, STC in Sandakan. My bro and i went only on the second day. The time was nearing 3 and we reach thre around 5 minutes later after we left at 3. After we reach and got off the car and walked into that place, thre were cars lining up 1 by 1 in the track. Thre were Levins, classic Ae86, some Gl, a black toyota..forgotten the name and also nissan s13. Those cars were sick and some only have the looks but not really the gut to drift. Thre was also a Blue skyline we normally see without GT wing and with a black carbon fibre hood if im not wring, with a pro driver from somewhre giving us a good show. Wonder what techniques they use.....

In youtube, there is a video named ''A complete guide to drifting'' by The Drift Bible. It says ''If drifting is your religion and Keichii Tsuchiya is your god''. I think this is true...Tsuchiya is just legendary...watching his videos just makes me feel like taking up racing driving in the future instead of being a tuner or some sort myself. 1 thing is for sure that my parents and family will not support me on this.Letsbriefly about the techniques taught by the dift king himself in the video. Thre are 6 techniques all together :
1. Side Brakes(Hand brakes)
2. Shift Lock
3. Power Over
4. Braking
5. Feint
6. Accelerator Off

Watching those videos yourself may give you more knowledge than me talking here. Something are just better to watch it yourself than hearing one saying it. Thre will be a few cameras all around thre car, one will be around the footpedal, one will be in the middle, and some will be around the foot pedal place, some around outside the car and in sectors of the track.

Wonder which techniques do the drifters in here uses. Thre was 1 man dressed in full racing suit and with a cap, driving and drifting the skyline all around the track, the best drift i've seen that day. The tires were burning all the way and then after the second or third lap, the man drove the car on the opposite direction until when he reaches a corner and his tired burst..haha..That bloody tyre may cause more than some of ur tyres and rim combined. The black car also had a flat tyre and it took ages to change 1. My bro and i went back after the skyline is parking on the pit of the track cause it was getting late and thought that there will be no more drifting in that blue car. Sylvester and his brother stayed till the end and the Skyline drifted one more time and then also had a flat tyre one again.

Hmph..from that day on, im my mind is just drifting and drumming all the way..In Youtube, im just typing these words all the time..Top Gear and Touge...and of course some other drumming videos...as i want to get better..hehe.

Now, i am watching touge showdown, MAX(for cars with 500 hp and above)...its just so fantastic to watch it with a cup of beer in hand and something to munch on..HAHAHA. I am writing this now because thre was the Hachiroku Tsuchiya was drifting in and it reminded me to write about it. and i screw some of the words up thre...hope u all understand what im trying to say...
I think its enough for me today and sorry for talking so long...hehe..gotto get going and finish up the videos. See u real soon!

My Way

When i was watching the Fight Masters, my dad started to set up stuffs to sing. When the first song played, it was My Way(chinese version). I didn't know at first but the tune feels familiar..in no time i am singing along. Then my dad told me it was My Way. Listening to that song reminds me of the time my band and i played the song in front of the whole school. Saxophone played by daniel was just perfect but squeecked a bit..still remember that but all was a complete success. Everyone was cheering and it feels great. Now, as i search in youtube, thres a lot of versions of My Way, it don't matter if its from Frank Sinatra or Robbie Williams or anyone else, The song is still legendary and still as nice as always. Just feels very relaxing when listening to that song. And now after that, BACK TO METALLL..hahahaha

1.19 a.m 19. 09. 09

So im now sitting in front of the monitor, lookin at the time 1.19 a.m thought would be a nice time to write something new here. So, i Went out had dinner, played cal of duty wit the m8s and went drinking in devenice. Nice food, nice game, nice drink. When i came back, sat down on the chair in front of the monitor and started youtubing and facebooking. Added some friends, sent some comments and looked at some pictures. Van Canto, a band whre they make music wit their mouths..is a cool band and should be checked out by all the people. So as Nightwish. They are a Finnish symphonic metal band, very melodic, metallish and also some viking style. The first song i heard from them is called wayfarer. I found that in a video review of a Toyota Celica in Youtube....Youtube really bring me places i never ventured and thats the good thing about it.

Warface, Nightwish, Van Canto, Miles Davis, Dream Theatre, Slipknot, Amon Amarth and Lamb Of God...these are some names i recommend for u music lovers out thre.

Now the time is 1.28 a.m and i think i should go to sleep..Goodnight to all frends and also to frends i just knew. Take care.

Quartet Music Festival

This matter have been running in my head since the beginning of the year when they told me thres this competition. Until last saturday, the day had came, all our practises throughout the year paid off..even though we just got the second place, still im happy enough. The best show i've put up since i first start playing. The highlight of our show i think is the song whre seck sings. Thats the first time hes been in a competition and Thats the first time we are getting so much response. Thank u all !

Before this, we have been breaking our brains thinking of ways to put a song together no matter instrumental or the singing 1. Suddenly i wana break free came into the heads of some 1 then we decided to play that and add something interesting in it. For the instrumental, we take songs and combine it together. Everything went perfectly during practise. During the competition, the shaft of the double pedal i used came off and i have to play using 1 pedal, changing the song a bit but still we gave a good show to the audiences. The place was full...luckily and we got lots of Support...Thank u again. When we are going into the second song, i took off my shirt, then start playing again. That was the thing i din regret doing as i was sweating like a horse for some good reason !, then putting the pedal back together and start playing. The pedals were good for the whole second song, but screwed the first song quite a bit.

Then thre was the simple short solo, quite gan ziong when doing that, din really plan to extend it that long. During our practises, it was all short and simple...but added some spices to it when its our turn. I feel very good after doing that, saying to myself that was the best show ever so as to the band.

Now that everything is over, we have to start studying as SPM is just right around the corner. Eventhough its just few months away but the few months can close in fast. Be prepared my friends...Study well and Score well

See u all next time

Just an update after a long long long time of laziness...zz

Recently, i have been watching a lot of top gear and car stuf in utube...making me feeling very very deeply addicted more than ever. As i found out in some of the videos, i found out that Toyota Supra is not in the production line anymore which is a total waste..that car has inline 6 cyl. engine and it packs quite a lot of power even its still unmoded...so want to have one in my garage one day.

''Icons Of Power'' the tv show that talks about powers of kings and rulers of european country and others. Now i just feel like buying books about the biographies of past rulers after watching them talk about Peter the RUssian Tsar and King Henry VIII....its beyond imagination when u are the most powerful force aroung others and a lot can be done jz by speaking it out loud...WOOOH..

And last night was the LEO Installation dinner. EVery1 was so so quiet..so disciplined..tonnes of hot sizzling girls, and taken lots of pics..nt bad though i look..HEHE. Since my gastric came back on tuesday, my stomach just feels like its constricting every 30 mins..which i think it made a hole on my stomach wall. Sylvester said if thres really a hole, i won't be sitting beside him yesterday and i guess its correct. Dinner was ok but can't eat much cause of the ulcer i have under the tongue. Ivy took pics all around and keep on insisting my smiling in the pics...zz..which turns out to be quite nice. The whole thing was kinda ok but some bad things happen to some other ppl la..quite embarrasing..too bad. Band, dance, sing, all was ok. The girls can really sing..nice. Till here for now. Gona be writing soon again. TATA
