I did my best...

Haiz...the go-kart competition this morning, was a total disaster. In the final shootout, only managed to finish 8th place. =(

At around 8.30 am, we all registered and signed some forms. There were 24 contestants in the junior category, so we were divided into two groups, and 12 in the senior. The first group was those who had driven a go-kart before, and the second group was those that haven't. My cousin, my brother and I were in the first group, along with 9 others. There were a few strong drivers there, but our chances of winning was still good.

At around 9 am, we were given 8 minutes to drive out and familiarise ourselves with the track and car. After coming back, we checked our time, and mine wasn't all that good, 1 minute and 44 seconds. I was second last in the group. My cousin and brother were much faster than I was, and they were lapping in the 1 minute twenties. So I had to find some areas where I could go faster.

After the 2nd group did their practice, it was our turn to go for qualifying. I managed to go faster, but only managed 9th fastest with a 1 minute 26 second lap. My brother and cousin were most likely to be safe to go through to the final shootout of the top 12 fastest people. I could only hope that the most, only 3 people would beat my time and not 4.

And after the 2nd group's qualifying, I was the 12th fastest overall. Phew, that would mean that I will start on the last row of the grid, but at least I qualified.

Then we had a break, because it was the adults turn for their practice and qualifying. After that, Show Time!!

We did a rolling start, and when the green flag was shown, the race was on. I managed to pass 2 people at the first corner, and then another after the straight. My brother had somehow spun , and his engine died, and it took a while before the workers came to start his engine, tough luck, but he was the 6th fastest out of the 12.

Then, after I saw another hit the barrier, I was in a higher position again. Then as the second lap started, there was a three-way collision, and one of them was my cousin. I went onto the grass to avoid them. Now I was up to fifth place. But then, disaster struck. My brakes had a problem. We weren't using the same cars that we used during practice and qualifying.

So, all my braking points had to change, and I even had to slow down my car further, before I could make a corner. And, when I forgot that I was in a different car, I braked to late, and my car spun. I was facing the opposite direction, and I saw three cars. One of them was my cousin. They overtook me 1 by 1, and I knew that I had to push harder to recover.

Later the brake failed me again, and I spun at the hairpin. After that, and a few more other spins, I only managed to finish 8th position. We came back to the building, and all three of us were complaining. My brother was the unluckiest, because his engine died, and it took sometime before someone came to restart it. He finished last after qualifying 9th. My cousin's car was the car that my brother used during practice and qualifying, and the problem with the car was that it could not accelerate as fast as other cars could, and was confirmed later by one other adult who used it, and my problem was the brakes. Unlucky day for the Wong family...lol.

After that, we had McDonalds for lunch, they announced the winner, and we went home. The only consolation I got was that I finished higher than 12th place. =)

Lets see what the three of us can do next year.

Go-kart, Badminton and WolfTeam!!

I had no idea on what to put as my title for this post, so I might as well write the 3 topic's I'll be posting about this time.

Lets start with Go-kart...hehe.
This Sunday, I will be going karting at a circuit, somewhere far, which I haven't been to at all. This event is organised by Saujana GCC and is the second year running. I didn't manage to go for the first one, last year, because of SPM. Hopefully I can do well in the race, and maybe take home a trophy...hehe. *praying*

Now its badminton.
Will be playing on Monday with PB2 and PL1...can't really say PB2 and PL1, because only 4 people going; Eu Jin, Boo, Yvonne and myself. After college from 4-6pm at Jayasquare. Wyhow said that he will be there from 3-5pm with his classmates, so see you there Wyhow. =)

Also, playing on Thursday with Hee Ian and others. Haiz...sure Ken Hon and Hee Ian will bully all the others. 4-6pm at Jayasquare as well.

Then, I'll be playing yet again at Jayasquare on Saturday, 1st December with 5 Beta. Have yet to send out invitations, but with Shaun's agreement, will be inviting Hock Chin, Eu Yang, Teck Weng, Ken Hou, Shein Ken and Lai Hing. Including Shaun and myself, total playing should be 8 people. So if anyone whose name is mentioned, please give me an answer ASAP. =)

As for WolfTeam,
Hee Ian say its not a nice game, DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!! It's one hell of a game!! Online First Person Shooter Rox!! If any of you are already playing, you can add me to your buddy list. My IGN is Axedus. Here's a video for you all to watch.



This video was done by one of my in-game friends. =)

ROFL!!

I found this video on youtube, and I thought it would be a nice way to end the exam period!! Have fun watching. Guarantee you will laugh like hell!!

*If you don't laugh after watching this video, you probably have no sense of humour...jz joking XD

*Will post a few recipes for you guys to do to celebrate...hehe. =)

*Updated* I'm FAMOUS!! My name is in the newspaper!!...along with thousands others. lol

You all should know what this is all about.
Men singles matches, and I even have an idea of using Yonex tournament shuttlecocks...hehe which costs RM70 /tube. If majority can come, then we can share out the cost. You wish la, if you think I'm gonna belanja you all. =)
This will be maybe around December, or even late November if everyone agrees.

"In-between exams" post.

These are just a few random things that I want to post about.

1) I MISS PLAYING BADMINTON!!!
I want to play badminton right after my last paper, which is law, on the 16th. The paper ends at 3.30pm, so does anyone want to join me during that time?
My brother has been playing badminton so frequently, and has been training, while I'm most of the time in the study room, and I'm of course lightly worried about his current condition in comparison to mine. I know some of you have the same craving as me, so I'll see you all quite often, I hope, after my AS.

2) One-way to UK
This conversation took place somewhere after Thinking Skills Paper 1, and...um...this is how it went.

My father: You better study hard, so that can get good results to enter into a good university.

Me: Up north?

My brother: China?

Me: *did the Russell Peters head movement during the child services joke*

My father: Where? Melbourne?

Me: No, higher up North.

My father: What? UK? Sure no problem. If you can get good enough results to get in, I don't mind.

I GET TO STUDY IN THE UK!!! Not anywhere in the UK, but within London city itself. Which means getting damn freakin good results for my A-levels. haiz...
If I do, I'll most likely be staying at my aunt's place, but I don't think so, because I think my economics might destroy my results.

There is almost a zero percent chance of being able to go to the UK and study, but like I said, almost zero, not zero, so, I'll just wait and see how things progress.

=)
