10.7.02 "o, most beautiful beautiful beautiful! and even more so, so so so, so very beautiful!" - some misquoted + exaggerated Shakespeare®boy, how i wish poly life were largely consisting of activities similar to those of today. school was just 3 hours long, and its all photography, photography, and more photography! muhahaha! and, of course, richard, joe + i went go-karting after the relatively short tutorial. more on that later.. took my beloved sony digicam with me to school since we'd head off to jurong kartworld right after. took a few of the following shots in the premises of NP: 
(FMS' Wander boy, who prefers to be called Erik. the cute.. er.. ang*moh* photography lecturer/tutor whose shiny cranium makes all the girls swoon. anyone else thinks he resembles stone cold steve austin?) 
(richard fiddling around with the nikon F10, figuring out reflective light meter readings and stuff.) 
(ooh! my right brain works! the shadows of yani, meself + nauwroz) 
(some student with wander-aspired hair looks for someone to toss the ball to in a game of ghey touch rugby) 
(on the way to jurong via bus. richard goes creative with this sunset shot of the MRT.) it wasn't long before the few of us landed in the familiar 'ulu' road named after some guy called 'yung ho'. found joe digesting a KFC mashed potato en route to the kartworld entrance. bad move, my man.. richard + i weren't that well-off in the perception department either, having masticated spaghetti bolognaise at SIM prior to the karting. bleaugh... nauwroz volunteered to play videographer this time, since his galfriend's place wasn't too far off, and of course, intrigued by the nonsensical fuss rich and i were miming out ever since we thought up the idea of karting someday. he took a few piccies anyway, amongst the many video clips he took throughout the contest. 
(the 3 of us stretching ankles + calves in anticipation. never underestimate the power of warming up. even when planning to travel without moving.) 
(richard: "ha! helmuts are for wankers!") did i mention that it was literally silent when we arrived at kartworld? weekdays are great for karting around without rich millionaire turds scaring the shit out of yer by suddenly appearing beside your kart in the middle of a turn. this time my kart was good - last time i wasn't so lucky. the kart didn't have brakes initially and the mechanics spent 10 minutes fitting more brake plates to the rear. i eventually did 10 lone laps of honour, with my friends all taking a piss at KFC next door :P today's karting was the best i ever had in my entire (rather short) racing experience! starting sequence was richard, joe, then me. i got to lap joe twice (ha!) and richard thrice (bahah!), without doing a spin or dislodging the %&@$ chain in the area of the track furthest from the garage. did lock my wheels once though, when the left foot was jammed under the bumper, thanks to my silly size 11's. i, being the sadistic bastard, stood flat on the throttle and came up with a little gilles villeneuve-ish skid. almost bummed richard with that. joe, on the other hand, locked his brakes at every other corner. for now, it'd be wise to stay at least 5 kart lengths away from joe when coming to braking points. another advantage of driving on a rather customerless day is that the boss, more often than not, would give yer 15 minutes instead of 10 minutes to fool around ontrack. $40 per 10mins is still an anal rate, but i guess it's our passion for motorsport that inevitably anals us. or something like that :-\ will probably upload a viddie or 2 when i'm done editing them. for now, try to figure out whoever's arseing about in the picture below. 
cheers. 3-hr writcomm tutorial tomorrow. sigh. ha! i've always wanted to be like bender and now i've got the qualifications!  Which Colossal Death Robot Are You? 0 Comments: |
