Fun at the track

After a hectic week, at last I was able to take a rest on my mind and workout my body. Thanks to Goh aka tougeking, for organising such a great event.
It was tiring but a lot of fun, since I've not been drifting for a long time, the feel is still exist, but my arm just couldn't match, because my car although it is small, but actually it has very heavy steering and clutch. And the short wheelbase and rear leaf spring will also cause the car to be very snappy which require very sensitive butt and fast steering work. May be I should retire this car...





Lining up for the mini race.

I knew I wouldn't able to overtake all the cars in such a narrow track. Indeed, it is hard if you want to keep on track, so to overtake u need to go on the grass, which i didn't. And for the whole race i was blocked.

The aftermath, my "quite new" crystal headlamp was cracked, hit by the stone swirled up by the car in front, I follow too close may be.

As for the drifting competition, I've got 2nd runner up. Pure luck, as I can't engage to my 2nd gear from 3rd, that's why I can't drift in the last part of the corner. Need to service my gearbox and with some Redline gear oil should be even better. Hopefully can do better next time.
Here's the video in one of my run, sorry of the blur video.

Musical team

My musical team is moving into our 2nd year. We had received numerous compliments from several organizations. While I'm still not happy with our performance, we need to improve a lot more to be world class. But most of our member are not professional, therefore I'm facing some difficulties on skill level unevenness. Everyone also having their own job and we're lacking time to practice as well. Well, this is one of our latest achievements.

Performance in KL

Someone from Hainan association invites me to play in their orchestra.


The concert features a famous Chinese orchestra composer from Beijing China, Professor Yang Chun Lin. All the programmes were composed by him which are beautifully arranged. Most of the work are also transcribed from famous Chinese folk song, but were rearrange and re-harmonize which creates a more in depth feeling of the folk song.
I arrived on Friday which is the last day of their rehearsal, which mean I have to rely on my quick sight and senses to play all the songs from the score, quite nervous sometimes as, he, the composer cum conductor is very strict with his music. He has high demand on us to express his feeling of the works he wrote. That night we rehearsed until 11:30pm!
Nonetheless, the concerts proved to be a successful one. Audience clapping non stop with standing ovation.

Birthday celebration trip to Cameron Highland

My daughter's 3rd birthday was due, so we made a trip to Cameron highland with my stock Proton Iswara. I'm planning for a smooth drive up as my family is on-board. With speed of just 70-80km/h, I still find many others crawling and making unnecessary braking, causing me even more stress than driving fast. Then I decided to overtake and up my speed to 90km/h average, in no time, we were in the vegetables farm...








































This is a self plucking farm, the vege is freshly cut by yourself , but I found that the price is not cheap either.



Then we reached Kg. Raja which is the end of the new road. Coming is the tight and twisty road, with high elevation S corners which I love to drive on.
























Look what I met on the next day. A beautiful H2 Hummer. Couldn't resist to take a photo with it.
