Drifting Is My Life

Moving my current blog to Dot Com

2008-01-06T10:10:00.000-08:00

Jeng Jeng Jeng.. I will be moving my blog soon to the new official Dot Com web site that I'm gonna own soon. The name of my new server blog will be the same but doesn't have a dot blogspot in the middle of the link anymore.

Happy? Yes I'm happy with an exciting feeling that I finally going to have my own web site with a new server. Pervious Blog that I wrote before will be transfer it into the new one with some changes too.

Camera that will follow me into the new blogging life will be the brand called Olympus. It will be my first Camera that will stay by my side until I stop blogging when I'm old enough about to die. Lulz..

Moving from Blogspot to Dot Com? Another New year day.

2008-01-05T11:24:00.000-08:00

It's been 3 months since I last update my blog. The reason why I stop blogging is because of the lack of camera and pictures that I'm going to post in here. Usually nothing much happen around until I came back to my own place.

Well during this 3 months of time I haven't been doing much stuff around except going to college, sleep, eat and surfing around the net until I came back to K.K.
It was quite exciting for me to go back to my own hometown and leaving the devil of big city.

During christmas time, I get to enjoy alot of partys and events. For example the CSP (click start play ) Christmas party. It was kinda fun and awesome to meet those forumers there together playing some games that will make you laugh all the way through. On the christmas eve, I manage to go to my friends BBQ party to celebrate christmas together. It was a potluck with alot of yummy food served on the table.

After the Christmas is over, New year eve is coming and during that day night I went to shenigan with some of my friends which appears to be a female and I was suddenly getting a call about canceling the plan and ended up with that girl along. Fortunely she called her friends to come along and enjoy the fun there. It was quite embaressing for me to face them as my friends was the one who canceled the plan that we made earlier before that night. Luckily they don't mind and we entered inside together. As an appology, I ordered 1 Jug of beer ( I actually bring less money as I was told to bring that kind of amount ) and treat them. They accepted and happily enjoy the night. I was kinda left alone as those girls are dancing with their own friends.

Few mins later I manage meet one of my old friend who appears to be studying in my ex college. I greet her with a smile and say " Happy new year". We talked about how things going around since that day I left. But then after the conversation, I was left alone again until one of my friend called me up and plan to join me back. We all together having alot of fun and dancing until late night One of the CSP forumer called me to send him back to his own house.

It was a great new year night for me compare to last year where I got fooled for a SHI- event.

After the new year day, I was joining some of the Drift event organized by D1KKDC ( Drift 1 Kota Kinabalu Drift Club ) and happened that my car was broke down during the time when I was doing a Donut drifting. It was a bad luck for me to have it happen to myself.

After that event, I was bored doing nothing but to stay at home surfing net and waiting for my friends to call up asking for a drink at some coffee shop.

Stress In KL

2007-09-21T19:33:00.000-07:00

It's been so long since i haven't update my blog again. haha! Now finally i'm going to update again about my life in KL.

Having Stress in KL is the worst things ever than having it in my own hometown. Why i'm having this stress life there? It's because of college? That will be out of question.

The reason i'm having alot of stress is that there is lots the polution such as noise that is surrounding at my room. Why i'm saying that? It is because my house is almost near the roadside so there are many cars/lorries going around and busses moving up and down that will make alot of noise into my room. Well frankly speaking my room is at the front of the inner house so i get those noise almost everyday when i'm around.

That's fine for me because it doesn't really bother me much but from what i'm really pissed about isn't that noise. IT'S BECAUSE OF MY STUPID DAMN ROOMMATE SPEAKER + WOOFER! ARGH.. i'm kinda pissed off him.

Well.. this things happen when he bought a damn 5.1 speaker which has a loud noise and heavy bass surrounding his room and mine. Everyday when i tried to sleep well and peace in my room, he will play his ah beng trance and techno songs loud with full heavy bass that makes me can't sleep. Imagine when a person who plays loud with heavy bass that will make your room become surrounded like his room will you pissed off? Therefore whenever i try to ask him to lower his sound and bass volume, he never listened to me instead of putting the volume even louder than before.

This is why i hate ah beng people with stupid english ah beng speaking. PLEASE BE CONSIDERATE MAN! i'm usually sleep at 3-4a.m but he slept early than me and wake up earlier than me so i still need time to sleep well but this damn early morning call of his speaker and bass makes me wake up early with him. It feels like i'm in a clubbing place with full of ah beng surrounding me. Jezzes man..

This is what makes me stress and can't sleep well all these days because of this polution sound created by him. Damn.. i wish his speaker and bass damages so that i can sleep well all the times i wanted to.

CURSE HIM!

My birthday on 22th

2007-08-27T09:03:00.000-07:00

Well.. it's been a long time since i celebrate my last birthday at my hometown. This year is my 1st time celebrate my brithday in kl. It was kinda surprise for me that i would celebrate in kl. It started when i wasn't going back to my hometown and my friend and i decided to celebrate in a clubbing place located in bukit bintang. ( will upload the picture when i have my own card reader )

But since almost all of my college friends have gone back to their own hometown, i manage to invite 8 of my friends to my party. It was kinda little for a birthday party but i have to save money for the next day. haha!

Luckily 2 of my friends have their own car in kl and we just follow their car and went to this place. we drive around to this nightlife place where those hot club are located. it was very crowded at the same time we also encounter some traffic jam. It was freakin hard for us to find parking and decided to park at near the place where they charge us RM10 per-parking (WTH! damn expensive).

Yup.. the place was so popular in kl that many people liked the place alot especially those clubbing place. After we go down to the clubbing place, my friend suggested me to go to this place ( thai club ). Well.. actually i have no comment and idea where to go to other than this place because most of the club require 21 above. So since it's my 1st time to go to those place, there were two ladies asking me to buy a whiskey that was included with promotion + package of lighter. I was so confused at that time on which i want to take, but looking at those two ladies face i decided to take the cheap whiskey where the lady is selling JD ( jack daniel ) because of her face was prettier than the one selling chivas and brandy haha! ( i donno which to choose from so i choose base on their appearance haha! ).

So we go upstairs and sit at the end of the bartender side. Well at first i was so sad because i though nobody especially girls will come due to that time it is not a ladies night for the pub ( wednesday ). So i just sit and wait for the ladies who sell me the whiskey to serve our drinks. Luckily i'm not a really bad or good drinker so i can control and handle the amount of alcohol. It was fun drinking but the songs they played aren't as good as those pub i went in my hometown.

After a few hours, there were more and more ladies come at that time and i manage to know few of them since i'm not really interested them but i was bored and in need of someone to talk with me. Haha! But it end up the girl and i like each other although i intend to forget it but jezz.. i'm still single and a lonely virgin who don't wanna break it until marriage. haha!

So then my 1st kiss was taken away by this girl. Well as long as i don't break my own virginity then it will be fine. clubbing girls are bad for good boys like me. haha!

Therefore sicne that night, i can't forget those memory of my 1st birthday party in kl and i will be scare of the madness addicted attitude of mine controlled by the evil of clubbing. haha!

A New Life In KL

2007-08-20T02:48:00.000-07:00

It's been 2 and a half months since i last update my blog. Well frankly speaking, i'm kinda busy for almost 1 month and another 1 and a half months to wait for my new internet line to be operated. Since it's been that long i haven't update my blog, i think i should make my blog more longer this time or maybe not.

When i arrived in kl on the 12th june 2007, i was happy to finally reach kl for my 2nd time to living here all by myself. The 1st place i was going to is my own college. I though it must be a high class college and superior than the other one i was expected from. Well after i went to the college, I saw alot of CCTV camera and guard at the guard house. They asked me to take their vistor card and go to the student service center. As what they said i did went inside the college and there is a trainer that welcomed me to come to this college.

What they said is they take me to go look around and tell me lots of stuff that was going to perform in this college. They don't mention the rules much of course because this rules are suppose to talk about it during the orientation time. Ok.. what they said like it was a good college but after i went for the 2nd and 3rd time for the orientation day, i was impress with the work they have done and talk to us about. Alright.. this is what i have choosen this college for my automotive studies.

After 1 month experienced it, looks like their talk are empty promises. especially their student service, it suck like hell and now i still don get my pants yet for college use. As for the student card which can allow students to open every door that needs a punch card to access the classroom and lab are all rubbish Because most of the time we used the trainer's punch card to go out and in the classroom and lab.

Not only that, the rules are ridiculous for a college because most of the rules they applied for us are similiar to what we are at secondary school. It sucks alot but when it comes to teaching, it's awesome and interesting depending on which trainer that teaches u. Well.. i don't expected much of it until i made alot of new friends there but they all talk really straight and different than what talked in east malaysia.

Other than that, the trainers there are friendly and helpful although they are from philipines but still i can understand their american english which we have hard time to understand it. The discipline teacher are sucks as well compare to our trainer because they always like to catch and send warning to those who break the stupid rules like your hair. And luckily i manage to ignore them and go on my own way because i pay to study not to obey the stupid damn rules.

Therefore in the end i would like to continue to study until i get to go to the OJT session this upcoming november. Haha.. and i took alot of pictures of my college and my own room in kl. It's just that i took those pictures with my phone camera so i can't upload it into my pc because i didn't buy a SD card reader yet.. sob* sob*

As for my own life other than in college, i don have much to say as i'm always at home or sometimes go to the shopping places where i can see young pretty girls around (not those type of lala girls ) or having a movie alone. I'm kinda lonely but i will try to fix my own life in kl.. haha!

That's all for my update. I will try and upload my pictures here ASAP!

Memories In Kota Kinabalu..

2007-05-28T01:26:00.000-07:00

haha.. finally i have some time to update my blog. anyway since i'm going to leave my hometown on 12th june for my further studies in TOC. i'm gonna say thanks to everyone in my club ( D1KK ) for teaching me lot's of stuff about cars,drift techniques and other things in life. without you all i will be nothing but a lonely guy who plays computer for 24hr + stay at home forever and without even actually explosing the real life in my own hometown ( k.k ). And also if i don't know you guys for a long time i won't be able to learn how to play and control my own cars and i will be driving a FF car forever without even touches it everyday like now what i have used to. haha!

Things that i have learn and gain in my own hometown will be set in my mind forever and won't be forgetting you guys until i'm back again to my own hometown for another 2.5 years.

And to my beloved AE70 ( my 1st drift machine ), i will be always remember you eventhough i have to let it go and hope the new owner will take car of you.

therefore not only my car that's on my memory, even my friends who helped me and teaches me lots of stuff will be always remembered..

And me who involved on the event

Thanks to them, i manage to learn something in my own hometown/life.

there is some of the video i have posted before also included with the memories of mine.

Video Blog?

2007-05-08T22:40:00.000-07:00

Hey guys.. it's been a long time since i last update my blog. I have been encounter
so many problems lately especially my old and new college. And i'm going to kl
sooner or later to start my other courses in ( TOC College ) I haven't go and take a look
at the college environment yet because my parents were busy at their stuff. So i was
planning to go to kl and have a look at my college this month.( Alone i guess )

Well.. before i leave my lovely hometown to another big city in west side where all the corruption and robberies existed there, i will going to make my own video blog that is all about my hometown ( kota Kinabalu ). Well then.. it might take a while for me to make and post it because i'm suck at editing videos ( newbie here haha! ) other than that.. i will find a good spot to record all the place that i have been to all this time in k.k.

this time it won't be that simple and i have to find a good Video Camera to do it. Well in the mean time.. i think i will use my nokia 6233 to record it just for temporary. hehe..

i think i won't be showing my face in the video ( except my stupid voice ). but things can be change is it? oh well.. it depends actually..

my last to end this post is to hope many people will visit my blog someday and somehow it will be more people to read my blog.. and so i need to improve my writing,essay and background theme that will attract more visitor into my blog..

The Youngest Drifter In K.K?

2007-04-15T19:47:00.000-07:00

Hmm.. it's been 15 days since my last post on my blog.. i was bored and free today so i will be blogging in order to kill my boredom.. haha!

Since the lack of pictures inside my blog, i will try my best to update those pictures in it.. many people said my blog was boring because of the less pictures that i have uploaded.. but without jokes.. it's a damn thing ya know that..

"The Youngest Drifter In K.K"

I have been wondering around since long ago.. is it me who is the youngest drifter in k.k? i know that many people who start drifting at the age of 18.. but then again.. i am the only one who started to drift since i was 17.. well.. i might seen like a pro but i'm not.. i'm just like other newbies who just start playing drift.

In k.k.. i seldom saw people who start drifting at this kind of age except one of my friend who drive AE85 without LSD start drifting with me.. we are on the same age too.. haha..

But then again.. in k.k.. many people donno what is drifting and most of them think that drifting is a stupid thing to do and it can harm your life.. not only that.. many youngest are now lack of explosing the outside world until they think like this kind of motorsport can't be hot/famous in the future.. therefore many people think it's stupid..

i think that this kind of attitude shouldn't be continue in k.k.. because of this our own state can't reach the same level as the other one. but in my mind i was thinking why our youngest in k.k can't play this kind sport? is it they can't afford it? or is it they are not interested on it? i bet many people are rich to drive those luxuries such as honda accord,Cycnus,RX7/8,skyline,silvia and so on.. but why they can afford this but can't afford to play with it?

i was kinda disspointed with the result in k.k as in west malaysia.. they start to play drift until it's regonized by the world sport and it's famous at there.. Therefore they start into drifting at the age of 16 and 17.. kinda envy them..

but then again.. how i wish this kind of sport can be supported just like in west malaysia.. but then again.. can this really be happening in the future?

This video was recorded using my own hp.

On 28/2/07, one of the our k.k AE86 got burned so badly at the dongongon highway U-turn near the new shop lot. It burned for almost 20 mins until the whole car was totally lost. Everything inside the car including the rims and engine were burned to ashes. but amazingly the exhaust is still survive from the accident. The owner just come back from singapore and it was very unfortune for him to have this kind of accident.

Here is some of the pictures that i took after the car was about to send it away.

This is the link since i cannot upload it in youtube web site.

18 Feb - 14 March happening days..( Part 1 )

2007-03-14T01:34:00.000-07:00

It's been a long time since i last update my blog.. I have been busy with my personal and outside stuff such as Praticing my drifting skills and college assignment + test. Now.. finally i'm free to re-update my blog again.

On 18 feb i have been doing nothing but stayed at home for the whole day until at night i'm out for drift gathering.. i have been slowly improve my own skills and manage to fix my car slowly as i'm currently on tight budget..

Until that day on 19 feb, my car has been damaged by the kolombong tyres workers. After my english class at 10:00a.m, i receive a call from the shop telling me that my engine cannot be start. So i agreed to go there and have a look. Well after all i have put my car there since last saturday when they said they can't finish the stuff that i suppose to ask them to fix it for me. I'm fine with it until today when i go there and have a look, my engine can't be started. So the 1st thing i checked was my car battery.. IT WAS DRYED UP as last friday i saw it was on green sign labeled as OK. So i though it was the battery problem but they say they got the jumper to start my car but it also failed. so as soon as i know it, i called my friend and asked for advice what happened to my engine. They explained to me and then i go check my car again. I don't know what the **** is the mechanic doing. He pluged out my 1st spark plug cable and it broke. So i was like WHAT THE ****.. what have u done to my plug cable that cost me around rm300+. I try and get another plug cable from my friend where he is working near the location too. But then when i go there and check my car again, they go and cut my other cable saying that it's already broken. I almost wanna kick their asses up but luckily i'm still under patient level. After that i go to my friend place and took another one. But then again when i busy checking my car and some of them didn't even help me. Just sitting there doing nothing but sleeping. The another mechanic checked that my coil got problem too ( which it doesn't have any ). So i go again to those 2nd hand spare part shop and buy another one for rm50. When they install another one which i have bought. It still doesn't work at all. so in the end after a few checking on my car engine and other as well that they have accidentally messed up my wiring and restarted my ECU and so on which i'm quite pissed off very much.and after they fix it up and my engine finally started. Therefore after this thing already finish, they started to charge me those ****ing labour charge and those things that cost nothing but a bullcrap shit. So all total up is rm123 + rm50 where i buy another coil from the 2nd hand spare part shop. Damn man.. i didn't even ask them to pay me back my spark plug cable and they dare to charge me those things that they have done on my car. I'm quite pissed off as one of my friend told me not to go there and fix your car because he is also one of the victim too but it's during last year december. I should listen to him and then now i'm the victim too in that stupid cheater service alignment shop. When i go there, i'm suppose to be their customer but end up i'm becoming their mechanic that needs to pay them service charge for those lazy bummers. I was at there since 10:00a.m until 6:50p.m and what i get is a fixed underpowered engine where is step my accelerator and the car cannot move forward. Tomorrow i have bring my car to another workshop and fix again.

There goes my money again..

That is the worst day of my life..

However after the accident.. on 20 Feb until 9 March i have been trying to fix my engine plus my LSD is almost broken due to i haven't service it for a long time. Damn.. but luckily i manage to service it on time after each day i have played with my friends at Telipok.. It was fun playing at there and there isn't anybody will stop us from playing it. haha! i have some of the video's that i have recorded at there but i only got my own drifting video as my friend haven't send it to me the rest of the video that they have taken at there.

Well anyway.. there is one accident that has been occured on 28 Feb, time is around 9:30p.m when one of my friend AE86 Trueno has been burn to ashes. It was totally burned in a bad condition as he was unable to do anything about his car. Well i was there when the car was ready to send to the police station. i have taken some of the videos and pictures during that time. It was a sad thing to see a drift car burn into ashes and what's left is it's body part. BUT amazingly the valve and exhaust can be still useful again when the car was totally burned out..

But then that's what i call a fate and a lesson.. The lesson that i have learned during that day is to always prepare a fire extinguisher in your car. Other than that, always check your car wiring and your fuel pump when it's necessary. That's all i have learned..

17 Feb Day Of My Life

2007-02-21T10:10:00.000-08:00

On 17 feb in the morning, i was thinking that if i go to the bank today and take out my money that i have stucked with.. it will be damn crowded today. Luckily on 16 feb friday i manage to take out the money that i wanted and then straight away fill in the form that i wanted to cancel my limit transaction because i always took my money more than rm200 and it sucks when u only can take out max of rm200 only perday. That is why i wanna cancel my limit transaction to rm1k.

I have waited for almost 1 hr just to cancel the stupid thing and then when my turn comes they said i can do it through ATM machine on my own.. i was like shi- why they don't tell me earlier about this goddamn thing. Anyway it's fine for me because one of my friend accompany me during that time. I was driving my stupid proton car that i have accident with after they have fully fixed the car and i was the one who helped my parent to test the stupid car. The engine was underpowered and it sucks when the radio can't be turn off and it's stays on for 24 hours non-stop. argh.. anyway that was on 16feb friday.

So during this saturday morning, i send my car to the workshop again as my alignment haven't fully fixed yet because yesterday one of my friend simply use my car and slide it with full speed and it sucks when u can smell the understeer tyres rubber on the ground. That is why my alignment is out of position. But then after i told them about my car problem, they checked that my steering column needs to be change because my steering make lots of sound when u turn them to the left and right. And i agreed that i wanna change them now but they said their supplier and other workers who manage this thing is still in off days. Well i'm fine with that but they promise to help me fix my alignment and also i ask them to help me to do some wheel balancing because my rim is out of sharp which can make my steering vibrate quite often when reach 80km/h. After that they double check my stuff that i have installed on friday.

Ater finish doing the stuff that i have asked them to do it for me, i forgot to ask those workers to test my car as i donno my alignment is still in perfect condition or not and i straight away go home and found out that my alignment still isn't in perfect condition yet. Oh well.. i have to go back again next thursday.

During at night time i have some family reunion for Chinese New Year eve and then that's what i have for today.

Busy Week From 5-16 Feb

2007-02-17T09:33:00.000-08:00

I have been busy for these few weeks due to my college to lots of test and assignment to go through until i have no time to update my blog. But anyway today i will update all the things that i have went through all these weeks from 5-16 Feb.

Starting From 5 feb -10 feb, as usual i went to college to attend some of the classes that have been stated in my timetable. However i have started to upgrade my car one by one by fixing my LSD first because my previous LSD installation isn't very good. So i went to another workshop where my friend introduce to me. Well.. i actually just went there to change my LSD oil as my previous workshop didn't help me to change them. But when the mechanic wanted to change my LSD oil, he checked that i have lots of problems with my LSD settings and installation and then he asked me to service and repair it ASAP before it's getting worst and worst each day. So i agreed as i had enough with my LSD problem easpecially those sound coming out from the rear of my car. I didn't manage to took some of the picures but it's a great experience for me to know this problem does occur.

After They have fixed my rear axle which calls it a LSD. it cost me RM175 to service that thing and there goes my money again. *Sob* *Sob*

On that day when my rear axle has finally fixed it up well, i decided to try and test it at night with my fellow members of D1kk by going sideways at the junction where there is a huge U-turn for us to play around with. At first i try and make my car go sideways as it didn't really happen during the first try because of my engine is underpowered. Until then my friend who sit beside me ( after we have some drinks at the dongongon resturant ) teach me how to activate my LSD and make my car go sideways. After the first try with some explaination from him, i try again with my second trial but it end up spinning during that round. Therefore he keep on explain to me one by one until i manage to make my car go sideway during my fifth time and it was exciting and fun when u manage to let the car go sideways without spinning. Haha.. that was my first time feeling it + playing them using the LSD.

After that on the next day, my clutch pump seems having some of the problems in the early morning and this is not the first time having this kind of problem because before fixing my LSD back to normal again, it did happen during at night and i have a hard time changing my gear but then luckily i manage to go house and ask my dad's mechanic to temporary fix it up for me so that i can send my car to my friend workshop at the kolombang area but then the problem still occur on that morning until i can't go to school. I end up stuck in the middle of kolombong highway to Lintas area. Luckily i called my parent to help me find a mechanic to fix up my clutch pump ASAP so that i can go to college and take a short leave to fix up my car at my dad's workshop.

But in the end they change a new one for me and the clutch pedal is hard to push it down. i suffer from that for few days until i have to wear shoes during daytime because it's freakin tired plus there are traffic jam everywhere in the downtown.

On 11 feb sunday afternoon, one of the members of d1kk called me up and ask me whether i'm interested to join their drift training session at telipok. I agreed to join them to the extra drift training at the place they have plan to go to. It was a long way to go to the place where my car have to suffer alot with those terrible highway where it has many holes and broken road on the way to the place. But after reaching there for almost half and hour, what i saw is that it was a great place for us to play and the road was perfect for us to do some drifting practices. But i didn't play much there because i'm still a newbie and they said i can only do some donut drifting with my car first. It's the first technique that everyone must master it in order to move into the next stage. it was great and i manage to learn some of the techniques for doing a donut dirfting there. Luckily my friend helped me to record some of my various donut style with his phone camera. haha! it was lucky for me to see how i am actually doing it.

From 12-13feb onwards i have been busy doing something that is related to my college stuff such as test and assignment that needs to be handle on that day. But then on 14feb ( valentines day ) , i finally broke my clutch own clutch spring as it was in the middle of the road to k.k. iIwas surprised that my clutch is still ok and when i let my friend check my clutch at that time he said i am using a brake spring that is freakin hard into my clutch pedal. I was like that was a SHI- for them to use it on the clutch pedal. Oh well luckily it's broken and i do not need to suffer because the clutch pedal is soft now and it feels great to step on it. haha!

However, during the 16feb ( friday ) morning, i went to check my alignment as it was fully out of position for my steering and i feel something is not right in front of my car. I went to kolombong tyres shop for check up and they found out that i need to change alot of stuff such as ball joint,arm bush,bearing and so on including alignment as well but then they charge me around RM433 as i have asked them last week on 10 feb because my friend wanted to do his alignment so i follow him at that time for a check up as well. But then it's really gives me a full surprise that the price that i need to fix cost me a bomb. Damn i should have check them earlier before the problem spread even worst to worst on the next day.

Oh well that is the story that i have encounter during the weeks.. Stay Tune for More Updates.

Thursday Celebration

2007-02-06T23:16:00.000-08:00

Well on 1 feb 2007, our lovely city of kota kinabalu is having a 7th annual celebration for k.k has finally become a city. yup.. there is a celebration event held near btw waterfront and the apartment ( i donno exactly what is the name of the apartment.. haha ) in k.k. i think it's in the middle of those two location that i have mentioned. Well.. during that time i was thinking of not to go to the event that was held during that night because i hate standing for 2-3 hr just for the show and the fireworks at 12a.m sharp. But in the end i decided to go and have a look. ( that was a stupid decision haha! )

Well at least i get to know what they are going to perform during that night event. haha!

Anyway after having my dinner and a short nap around 5:00 - 8:00p.m, i decided to depart at 8:30p.m as i don wanna join/enter in the messive jam that started at 6:00p.m. Before i'm leaving from my house, i decided to take my dad's digi-cam and snap some pictures at there. After leaving my house, i was on my way to the celebration event. And when i was in the middle of the road, i saw lots of cars at there but luckily it doesn't jam as bad as i would expected. I manage to go round and round to find a free parking but i didn't manage to find any of it as there are lots of cars there that have been parked before i reach there. After 1 hour on finding a stupid parking during that time, i decided to go to the basement and park my car there as i don wanna miss the event so quickly. After i manage to park my car there, i used my bare foot to walk to the place where the event was held.

When i reach there, i saw lots of people's at there and it was freakin crowded as i would expected from the beginning. Jezz.. most of them just stand there and doing nothing rather than talking around with their friends. I manage to shot some pictures but the quality of the picture isn't that great compare to other forumers in CSP because i can't get a good position to snap and it was freakin crowded in front of the stage.

I manage to snap some picture but fail to get a good snap + quality of it. Well at least i can snap some pictures at there during the event. After snapping around with my camera, i noticed that my battery life is almost dying until i can't even snap a single fireworks during that time. Jezz.. i forgot to ask my dad to charge the battery before i leave my house to the event. At least i can see what's going there on at there and the beautiful fireworks that was put on that day.

Actually there are lots of great culture dance perform during that event and it was quite impressive as lots of people there enjoying it. Not only that, even there are lots of police there guarding the situation for the safety of the citizen.

After the event.. i went back to the parking lot where i parked my car.When i was going to pay my parking ticket at the counter, i was quite surprise that it shows rm2.50 total for the parking fees.. damn!

Oh well.. at least it's worth going there to see what the event is like. haha! After that i went to have a drink with my drift club members to relax my body plus my legs for standing 3 hours at there. haha!

PS: I will update the pictures here as soon as i get the camera from my dad.. Stay Tune!

Tuesday and Wednesday Life

2007-02-01T12:02:00.000-08:00

Well.. according to the both days that i have encounter so far doesn't look special for me because i have doing nothing during this 2 days except for the usual things such as going to college and come back home and sleep cuz it's a raining season here. It feels nice to sleep at this time because it's freakin cold out theren and i almost get a flu in the mean time that i always sleep with my aircon on.. haha!

So anyway there isn't much to talk about this 2 days but during wednesday after i finish my class at 2:00p.m i straight away went back home and take some cash to repair my car because my car almost reach it's limit due to i haven't change my engine oil yet and my LSD is freakin annoying me all the way when i drive it. So after i called my friend about the location of his friend workshop ( actually not a workshop cuz his friend doesn't open a workshop anymore and now doing all those work at his house only ), i straight away drive to where the location is. And after i have arrived, i saw alot of cars there parked at his house ( I was like WTF! ). When i was going to tell him the problem for my car, he said he got alot of cars to do these days so he told me to come back this friday. Sad.. but what to do.. good business + service is always like that.

Well.. after that i went home and continue my journey to my dreamland. muahaha!

Monday Test Drive

2007-01-30T09:22:00.000-08:00

Yesterday afternoon after i woke up from bed, i straight away went to college at 12:30p.m as i'm kinda late for my english classes Therefore i was speeding on my way and when i was driving in the middle of high way, i feel that my LSD is making alot of noise such as "goluk goluk goluk" when i step on accelerate pedal plus my brake pedal also create some noises too. i was like OH Shi- my LSD might be broken or something.

After that i went to classes and tell my friend about it and he say that it's normal for LSD to act like that. i was thinking is it true or i really wanna take my car to the workshop and double check it? since i'm quite busy this weekdays and i don't have time to go service my car as i have alot of classes to attend. After my english classes, i straight away go home and drive with the speed on 80km/h as i'm too scare to drive fast on the road. Oh damn.. but after that i didn't use that car to drive at night cuz if my LSD really broken at that time i will be in deep shi-.

what should i do? And here is some of the pictures that i took after i back come from college.

I wonder what happened to my LSD.

Raining + moody Day

2007-01-29T08:34:00.000-08:00

Sunday morning.. it rain the whole day without stopping and i was at home sleeping until 12:00p.m because i was too tired yesterday. After i wake up from bed, i called my friend to pick me up to go eat lunch at the nearby shop around my house area.

So along with the wait of my friend to come and fetch me, i was too bored until i decided to take a little shot time to snap my car.

Here's some of the picture that i snapped during that time :

After i took some photos of my car, my friend arrived at my house and i'm ready to go and have lunch with my friend. After lunch, we go and watch movie ( Death Note 2 ) together because i got free tickets to watch the movie. hehe!

Saturday Auto Car Show At Central Plaza

2007-01-28T07:55:00.000-08:00

Since I didn't update my blog yesterday due to my tiredness the whole day at the event. So Today i'm going to replace back again what i have missed yesterday. haha..

During the Saturday morning, i wasn't awake until 11:38a.m because i was too lazy to wake up haha. after i wake up at that time, i immediately called my friend to come along with me to the event. He agreed to follow me and i also agreed to pick him up since my car already fixed up. I have checked my car and i realized that the workshop didn't done anything much except installing my LSD and the suspension. my suspension isn't done well yet because their skill are sucks to the max and my LSD still got problem ( when cornering or reverse or over run or drive uphill, it will make alot of noise that will make somebody think the axle is going to come out/break or something ). Damn.. on monday i have to send my car to another workshop and fix the problem up again. And also they didn't help me to change my motor oil. That pissed me off..

Anyway i decided to use my car to go fetch my friend. after arriving to his house, he saw my car and keep on asking me to lend him the car. I refuse until when i was helping him to go fetch his sister up at school, my leg suddenly cramed so i have no choice but to ask him to drive my car.

It was a mistake or should i say i made a wrong choice. after i lend him drive my car, he keep on stepping the accelerator ( since my exhaust is kinda loud because it was a straight flow piping ) until the whole students there at school keep on looking at us. i was damn embarressed and i asked him to stop doing that. His sister also feel that same way like me. Ok after arriving to his house again and suddenly one of my friend wanted to follow my car because his sister took his car away. therefore i asked him to follow me. after few mins later, my friends including his sister ask me to go have a lunch at some chinese shop located in hilltop together with them. I agreed because i was force to go there and accompany them.

So then, after chit chatting with them, we decided to put his sister at home and we go and fetch of my friend's gf ( shit.. this is waste of time but really.. ) to follow us to the event.

we finally arrived there around 2:00p.m ( wtf! the event starts at 10a.m and i went there so late ) luckily the event still continue until 5:00p.m. after i parked my car around the event. i snap alot of pictures there. Here is some of the pictures that i snapped during that day:

After I have arrived at there.. the 1st picture that i have snapped.

That's all after i have snapped some of the pictures there i straight away go to another place to have a drink with my another friend ( apparently it's a gal ). After having a drink with her, i straight away fetch her back and continue to find my drift club member for a drink also haha!.

That's all for my saturday life.. haha and if you want to see more pictures i will upload them by tomorrow or whenever i free cuz i snapped too much pictures at there and my upload speed is slow like a turtle so i can't upload much here. Sad but anyway i will be continue my blog tomorrow. stay tune..

Nothing Much But A Normal Day For Me

2007-01-26T11:03:00.000-08:00

This Morning as usual after finishing my class at 12pm, i straight away go home after having lunch with my fellow friends in chinese restuarant without thinking anything else except i'm kinda disappointed with my current car condition and had never recieve a single call from the workshop yet ( probarbly by tomorrow i guess ).

After going back home, I just went to surf some of the stuff in the internet especially forums, details about engines and so on. I even get to chat with my friends who i seldom meet before at outside. after that i just go and take a short nap during the afternoon session.

Therefore after I sleep until 5:00p.m in the evening, I decided to wake up and getting ready to test my hilux since i never touch them for about 3 months until now. when i was driving the car, it was so much fun and i get to master it in about 1 hr until 6:10p.m then i went back home and have my dinner. my hilux was all fine for me except the steering that occur some problems during the turning part. i think maybe it's out of it's alignment. oh well i guess i leave it to my dad and he will solve them even actually. haha!

At that time before i was going to take my dinner, my dad told me that my mum's car ( the proton iswara ) has been completely fixed. i was like WTF! I though it was total loss but how come they manage to fix it back all together after the car was fully damaged during the accident. They told my dad to take the car on monday. And now i have 5 cars in the total of amount. Shit.. how to take care all the cars when my family own five of them and each of them have to fill up the petrol and maintain them well enough. damn..

So After Having my Dinner, I drive my hilux to my friends house at 8:30p.m and we go have a drink at the mamak shop until 1:30a.m then we go back home. nothing much happened except one of my friend have some love relationship problem and we advice him until i went back to my house and take a shower.

Tomorrow i will be going to the car show event at central plaza and took some of the pictures there. haha! that's all for today..

Not Much But Having An Unfortunate Day.

2007-01-25T09:10:00.000-08:00

Today After Having a class until 12pm afternoon, i straight away go back home and asked someone to send me to workshop to take my car as it has been done perfectly. ( after i have received a call from the workshop mechanic )

But From My Unexpectation, After i reach there and they told me there is some problem with my LSD after they tested my car. the 1st impression i got is "WTH!" I asked them wthether they got change the LSD oil or not. they said yes and have check all the stuff including the axle itself. So I told them maybe they have mistaken using a wrong LSD oil into it. after i have told them, they agreed to check them and ask me to come back tomorrow again. i was like " Oh well I guess it's my bad day for today".

Before I went home, i went to UMW to ask for the handbrake cable as my current cable can't be used after installing the LSD. They sell them each cable for rm100 but my LSD need 3 cable so it will be RM300. That was freakin expensive ya know that but i have no choice but to buy it in order for me to use the handbrake to do "Power Over" drift.

After that, I went again to hap seng heng to buy some accessories for my car. it was a rainy day and I feel moody after going through lots of stuff.

So after I have finished buying all my stuff that I needed, i just went back home and rest.

nothing much happen today. And today i was planning to test my LSD but it fail's..

2007-01-24T10:02:00.000-08:00

There are many different ways to drift a car, including: (NOTE: ABS and TCS should be turned off before attempting to drift. These systems are not made to take into account a driver wanting the car to slide.)

Braking drift - This drift is performed by trail braking into a corner so that the car can "set" or shift weight to cause the rear wheels to lose traction, then controlling the drift with proper steering and gas inputs. Having brake bias can be beneficial to the drift depending on the driving style. Usually having bias on rear brakes helps to brake drift.

Power Over Drift - This drift performed when entering a corner at full throttle to produce heavy oversteer through the turn. It is the most typical drifting technique for AWD cars (predominantly RWD). Keiichi Tsuchiya has been regarded as saying he used this technique when he was too scared to drift at certain corners when he was younger. However the chance of this technique leading to a burn-out instead of a drift is possible if executed at a bad angle.

Inertia (Feint) Drift - This is done by rocking the car towards the outside of a turn and then using the inertia of the car to swing it back to the desired drifting line. By going away from the corner, and turning back in hard, you are coming from a much sharper angle. Somtimes the brake will be applied while rocking the car towards the outside to give a better weight transfer; hence creating an even sharper turn. It has been said by many pro-drifters that this is one of the hardest techniques to master as has a high spin-out factor.

Lift Off - At very high speeds, by letting your foot off of the accelerator while cornering, certain cars with very neutral handling, such as the MX-5 or S14, will begin to slide, simply from the drop in torque and engine braking. The drift is controlled afterwards by steering inputs from the driver and light pedal work.

Handbrake/ebrake Drift - This technique is pretty straightforward; pull the handbrake to induce rear traction loss and balance drift through steering and throttle play. Some people debate the fact that if using the handbrake creates an actual drift, or just a power slide, but ultimately, using the e-brake is no different than any other technique for starting drifts. This is generally the main technique to perform a controlled drift in a FWD vehicle. This is one the first techniques beginners will use as their cars are not powerful enough to lose traction using other techniques. Also this technique is used heavily in drift competitions to drift big corners.

Dirt Drop Drift - This is done by dropping the rear tires off the road into the dirt to maintain or gain drift angle without losing power or speed and to set up for the next turn. Only permissible on roads without barriers and lined with dirt or other materials which to lose traction. This is commonly done in WRC rallying.

Clutch Kick - This is done by "kicking" the clutch (pushing in, then out, usually more than one time in a drift for adjustment in a very fast manner) to send a shock through the powertrain, upsetting the car's balance. It causes the rear wheels to slip and enables the driver to induce oversteer.

Choku Dori - This is mainly used after long straightaways to slow the car down and to perform a stunning, high-angled, long drift. The car is thrown into a feint and is swung back the other way at very high speeds, while the driver uses the ebrake to maintain the car's line and to extend the drift.

Manji - This is done on straightaways, when the driver swings the car from side to side across the track. It is mainly used in choreographed drifting such as in events like Big X. Many techniques can be used to initiate this, such as clutch kick and feint.

Changing Side Swing - This technique is used extensively in the Japanese D1 competition and is very similar to inertia (Feint) drift. It is often done on the first entry drift corner, which is often a long double apex turn just before a very fast straight-way. If the straight-way before that double apex is of a downhill orientation, the driver keeps driving on side of the track that is closetest to the corner. Then with correct timing in mind, the driver abruptly changes the car onto the other side. This movement has the car momentum to be altered causing the rear wheels to lose traction. The car is in a drift motion right now. Then the drift is carried over into the corner and through it.

Dynamic Drift - This technique is similar to the Choku Dori. It employs all forms of the above techniques - and not restricted to only one - in combinations to accomplish the desired drift movement.

So Far I'm gonna learn clutch kick first because it's kinda basic technique for beginner like me.

My Drift Project And Courses Part 1

2007-01-24T09:11:00.000-08:00

Greetings to all drifters in k.k. I as a beginner that are into drifting who like to share this project and information to all of the drifters in east malaysia ( if possible west malaysia too). I also going to start my own drifting blog soon and it's all going to talk about my drifting life including projects, technique and so on.

For those who love/are into drifting or motorsport, i hope u all can support someone who are beginner like me. The reason why i want to start this topic in this thread is because i wanna let those people know k.k or sabah drifters still exist in this state and hope those west malaysia motorsport organizer can lend us a help by regonize us and make it like where people in west malaysia is now at.

At this moment, k.k still got alot of people who wanna learn drifting legally and they are trying their best to improve their skill so that people who are from west malaysia can regonize us and make a proper drift track for us to learn. the most important thing is we need west malaysia support and help to organize this sport in sabah.

There are few club in k.k that are into drifting but as a D1KK member ( it's an official drifting club regonized by jpj created by Alig who drive AE86 ) would love people in k.k and as well as west malaysia people to support and lend them a hand so that this sport would exist in here.
As far as i know i haven't test my car yet ( after modded it ) as i have a bad car accident last year ago until my hand was broken really bad and was badly injured yet now i have finally recovered my whole body including my hand as well in this 3 months. so in the matter of fact that i get to drive my car back on the road again and start pratice my drifting.

Before i do that i need to find a good location for me to pratice and yet it needs to be safe doing it so. haha!

I'm trying to find these location around k.k but i manage to found alot yet some aren't safe due to many cars there sometimes. but no worries.. i will try and snap some pictures of the road and place for it.

As for now should i put this into my blog section?

any idea? :-)
