wow. 16 days of not blogging. hahaaha. definitely this is one place thats bound to be buried one day..
anyway.
mini's birthday was on last sunday! we had a celebration for him on saturday. we went to play GO KART! miniwong, me, kelvin, jason, salty and bingting!
okay, the go-karts there are NOTHING like the toy ones you drove in the Escape Theme Park. they are much faster, much more thrilling and much more tiring to drive them.. lol!
i can practically feel the g-force when i floored the pedal. despite having only 6.5 horsepower (a normal motorcycle, 125CC, has about 11-12 horsepower) you definitely can feel the speed yo!
well but then... the weather wasn't too forgiving on us. the track is at Arena Country Club (very near to my camp!) and the timing for walk-in customers are from 12-2pm, 5-7pm. other timings are reserved for professionals to use the circuit to practice and so on. however they will try to squeeze in slots for us as each race lasts only for about 10mins.
thats right... i paid $35 for 10mins of thrill. absolutely worth every cent of my money.
although....... we waited for a LONG time. we reached at 1.45pm. decided to go for lunch. went back at 2.20pm. have to wait for the professionals to finish their training and roundings. when FINALLY it was our turn....
it began to rain =(
and so the conclusion? MINI HAS 2 CURSES ON HIM NOW. either when we go out there'll be no contact/encounters/luck with girls OR the weather will just simply pour on us.
rain stopped after about an hour. by this time it was reaching 4pm. they let one of the professional drivers to test the circuit for us.
so they changed their karts (fucking fast, one of them was about 30horsepower, can reach speeds of like 100km/h and more?!) tires to wet-weather ones.
even when the tires were wet-weather ones, he struggled on the tracks. he even spun out a couple of times. well... our karts were fitted with SLICKS... meaning they are strictly meant for DRY conditions............ =(
we waited for like another 20,30mins before we decided, enough is enough, FUCK IT MAN. i was in the first kart.. the guy started my engine by giving it a tug.. i made my way slowly out.... once out of the "pit", i floored the pedal.... okay it IS powerful.. gave the brake a lil prod.. rear wheels skid.. apparently the brakes are applied to only the rear wheels.. approaching a turn... release accelerator.. brake.. step on accelerator... *engine goes silent*
wait a minute. this engine stalled on me?!
okay so being the ever courteous driver i let the kart rolled to the side of the track and signalled for the guy to come over to start my engine again =( and i watched everyone whizzed by.... mini giving me the HAHA SUCKER look....
and thats how i became the last guy. HAHA. no the race is not over yet! after some spin-outs i began to get the feel of the kart. drifting is damn easy but its easy to spin-out too! once i stepped on the brakes too hard and my kart came to rest just beside the patch of grass hahahaha.
well, guess that's the nearest F1 experience.
$35 man. ain't cheap, but was worth it.
went to jason's house to wash up after that. booked tickets for this Merantau Warrior or something. some show that showcases Silat, a form of Malay martial arts. the movie was alright, fighting scenes were good, but well... not that you will wanna spend 10bucks to watch it on a weekend?
[sorrrleee ah no pictures everyone was racing plus no one brought a camera so....... heh...]
anyway on friday i met up with pris to hang out and chill out at town. went to cine in hopes of playing Guitar Hero there. but SO SUAY. we were put on the waiting list cuz some other group of ppl are using the guitar controllers. and apparently i think there're only like 2 or 3 controllers? fuck! and just before they were about to return the bloody guitar controllers they came over and.... EXTEND THEIR BLOODY TIMING.
owned.
well what can we do.. booked a xbox machine.. went to play Halo.. 2 n00bs who'd never played before Halo.... spend the first like 15mins exploring controls and the environment rofl.
caught Paranormal Activity later. unfortunately my ass of a friend blurted out the ending to me so it kinda spoiled it for me but still.. i've to admit its kinda creepy. not so much of a scare. CREEPY. never know whats gonna happen. but still.. BORING. we were both scared the shit out of ourselves towards the ending though... HAHAHA.
and so another weekend passed. another weekend nearer to the next payday.
ANOTHER WEEKEND NEARER TO ORD!
whatever. just can't wait for Jan 2010 to come.
gotta start the 9months counting down.
:D

Nick, a high-school senior from Hoboken, can't stop obsessing about Tris, his cute, blond, conniving ex-girlfriend. Norah, also a senior and an acquaintance of Tris's, is dissed by Tris at a club in New York City, so to show she's cool and has a boyfriend, she goes up a stranger, whispers in his ear, and kisses him. It's Nick. Thus begins a night of fits and starts between Nick and Norah as they share a love of music, hunt for an elusive band scheduled to play somewhere that night, search for Norah's drunk friend Caroline - with the help of Nick's gay band mates, and keep running into Tris and Nora's sort-of boyfriend. Both Nick and Norah have to figure out what they want.
after watching this movie i felt happy. i have no idea why, perhaps its the vibe that it gives off, perhaps its the ending of the movie, perhaps its just the whole storyline that gives you a "good-feel" feeling. i wasn't feeling terribly miserable before, but i wasn't entirely happy too. its some sort of un-settleness (is there even such a word?!), some sort of emptiness all around.
but for the first time in probably a few months, i felt happy. just happy. =)
P.S: to all my friends OF COURSE I FEEL HAPPY WHEN I GO OUT WITH YOU ALL LAH its not that i don't feel happy when i hang out with you all.
err as for the entire movie. there're pretty much 2 options. 1) get it from the video store. 2) watch it online or download it?
