...My First High-Speed Night Hillroad Driving...

hehehe.. Sunday, April 15, 2006 12:00 morning.. was my first time doing high speed precision driving on hillroad..

prior to the drive.. we had a TT session at a location along MRR2.. we saw many Cefiro(s) gathered at the area as well.. presumably they had their TT as well.. hmm.. was happy to meet up with some new friends like Jeffrey, his girl..Hillroad.. n some other that i had forgotten their name.. eheheh.. i'm really sorry.. bad with names..

after the TT we drove towards Genting.. too bad the weather was not good n the road condition was bad.. so we decided to abandon the plan of using a more challenging coz.. so we took the highway instead..

we only drove to Gohtong Jaya.. n had another TT there.. and finally head back home.. it wasnt a really long hillroad drive.. but i managed to skid twice.. n the whole experience was fun..

ehehhe.. when there;s chance would love to try it again.. :)

An Eventful Day.. !!!

Yesterday was a public holiday.. Thanks to Prophet Muhammad.. Really need to thanx him man.. else i wouldnt have a chance to enjoy something that i had always want to do..

I dismissed the idea of going to the office n worked on my presentation.. as i still have some time to spare n to tell the truth..i was super lazy yesterday... hahahaha..

Miss Elaine popped the idea of bringing me for a "joyride" instead of me going to Genting alone.. so meet up with Canken in mid day and all 3 of us in our own automobile n off we go.. the route brought us from Cheras to Ulu Langat to Jelebu to Titi to this place called Kg. Chennak or something like that..and back.. using the same route.. the whole joyride was one great experience..

the route is filled with combinations of tight corners, few continuous corners, hairpins, uphill and downhill.. and i was like trailling Elaine from way behind.. hahah...still new to this type of intensive n precision driving.. but none the less i dont think i did a bad job.. putting my car in 3rd n 4th gear ..reving at 3 000 to 4000 rpm.. somehow the feeling of hillroad racer surged into me.. hahaha.. probably too much of Initial D.. the intense and the concentration n precision.. just like the Animated series.. i managed to keep up a little with Elaine.. that's also due to her mercy on me.. hahaha.. n Canken the gentleman followed behind me to monitor me n keep me safe.. had a few stop for rest.. i took a pic at this Kg. Chennak place.. at the end of the joyride we had our lunch in McD tmn connaught.. well that was like bout 4pm.. hehehe..

except for some bad remote roads and cow dungs.. everything was superbly nice and awesome.. and a little tiring at the end of the day.. so i would really like to thank Elaine and Canken for making the effort bringing me there n burnt some rubber.. ahhaha.. Thanx mate..

back at home bout 5 pm.. then took out a DVD n watched Cassanova.. shallow ordinary movie.. nothing to brag about.. nothing interesting..

then after the movie.. my aunt decided to treat me and my cousins
dinner.. "Porridge Steamboat"...kinda exicted as this is the first time i'm having it.. basically it is steamboat but instead of soup or broth u may call it.. the substitute it with porridge.. very watery porridge more like ang moh's broth.. cooked with chipped rice grains.. the shop we when to kinda disappointing.. priced at RM 12.80 per pax and additional RM 6 for the "porridge" broth.. we are served a prawn for each, some good quality fish balls, some crabmeat stick, beancurd, 'fu chuk' and vegetables.. oh yea.. they also served eggs and noodles.. additional item such as fish, crab and stuffs are to be ordered n charged separately.. however the
whole experience was pleasant.. n i must say the porridge
tasted good.. but of course, we must thanx MSG for that..

so a combi of intense driving, movie and porridge steamboat... made my day a very eventful one.. n.. AWESOME one.. hahaha.. thanks to all my friends and family members.. :) cheers..

OOOooohh.. 10 metres from a Satelite..!!!

well was a cool visit to an Astronautic company today.. Assignment: "vibration measurement for a tilt-able table for a satelite". The table will be used for various testing for the on-board camera of the satelite.. supposedly will be used for remote sensing purposes.. it is so called built in this company.. i supposed they buy the parts n built it up and then program it.. after all this testing it will be sent to this island in Pacific for launching.. we got a glimpse of the satelite.. n i manage to get a pic of it.. heheheh..

not just satelite they are doing.. i was shown to the bouy that they use for tsunami or rather waves monitoring.. i supposed they bought the bouy n programmed it and do settings on it.. doesnt seem like the built it by themself.. but who knows i may be wrong.. hehehe.. they had sent 2 of this out in the open sea of somewhere north of Banda Aceh and another near the waters of Pulau Layang -Layang in the South China Sea.. this is scheduled to be deployed to somewhere in the waters of SAbah and Philipines.. data will be streamed straight to MET centre.. so hope this can help us to avoid tsunami if it were to hit us again..

here they also program radiation sensors/detectors. it is to measure radiation in the atmosphere.. and its exposure level..
hmm.. n i was understand that they will install them throughout malaysia..

so this is a fruitful trip for me and my e398 today..
