Not another ordinary Ramadhan

For the first time in years, I'm spending Ramadhan at school. To be honest, it's much easier when you have things to pre-occupy your time. In this case, it's classes. So now here I am on my bed at home typing this on a puny mini pc with squinted eyes, cramped fingers, and this overheating laptop burning my crotch. It's 12pm and I'm already hungry. WTF??

I still have my presentation to work on, so I might just use that to fill the gap until it's time for berbuka. But of course I could just play some video games and watch movies all day too. hmmmm. Such a predicament. I wonder which I should choose? haha!!

Last night was pretty cool hanging out with the guys at Putrajaya. And then chillin' at McD afterwards. I had a lot of food before I went to bed but unfortunately my belly decided to process everything and well... yeah, this morning when I woke up, I had a nasty tummy ache and had to go straight to the jamban. Weeee!! There goes all my reserve.

On another note, training has been ongoing despite the fasting month. Conditioning mostly since I don't really have time to train outside during the day. So I think I'll just save them for weekend sessions. Puasa parkour!! haha!! But seriously, the feeling is really great when you haven't done any for a while and then just going for it when you do. The adrenaline rush is just awesome!!

As for school, I managed to submit all of my assignments so far, haven't skipped a single class, got some great new friends and ummm, yeah, I'm doing pretty good actually. :D Despite all the fun and games at school, there are some subjects that I believe will be a pain in the near future. But I'll just make sure I work on them a lot more.

Girlfriend status? Woohoo!! I'm still managing to get myself from hooking up with anyone, although it's proving to be a bit difficult. :P But I think I'll manage.

damn, lapar gile arh. wad the hell? lambat lagi lak tu berbuka. I think writing this is making me hungrier. Brain!! Shut down!! shut down!! don't waste valuable fuel dammit!! I'm off!! weeeee!!

I almost drifted into a longkang today.




So I was on my way back from Alamanda and I ikut jalan nak pegi rumah acap. As I was heading to the U-turn which was under the flyover there was this van who was heading up the flyover suddenly decides to change his mind and head downstairs where I was going too. I was already doing somewhere around 80kmh so, malas nak brake. But now I was pushed to the other lane and in front of me was a tractor. You know la, the huge orange tractor thing. Woh! lagi la slow i thought. So there was this little gap between the van and the tractor before the u-turn and I decided to floor it.

I hit somewhere around 100 and tibe-tibe I was already at the corner. I totally forgot it was raining, so I couldn't just hit the brakes, or else I'd just smash the divider, so I shifted down and took the turn as wide as I can but it was no use. The back end of my car was starting to spin out and all I can see then was that the road was to my left and directly in front of me was this longkang. HOLY SHIT!! I thought to myself.

So as the car was drifting sideways at more than 45 degrees I had to think fast so I counter steered to the left, this episode actually reminded me of the time I crashed the car back when I was 17. The same thing only this time I was wearing my seatbelt. So as I counter steered, I saw myself getting closer and closer to the longkang when the tires finally hit some dry tarmac and took me off the drift into the opposite direction. So basically what I did was an S-shaped swerve as shown on the image above which I drew. Pretty good eh!? :D

Also as you can see from the image, the right back end of the car already went into the longkang. But I still had my foot on the accelerator because of the that counter-steer move I made so with that and the momentum of the swerve, the car managed to kinda pop out on its own without getting stuck there. And there I was, staring at the divider on the other end of the road. I've efficiently blocked both of the lanes at a blindspot in the u-turn.

I guess god was looking out for me today, since I managed to save myself from plunging the car into the longkang, and saved my car from getting tersangkut in the longkang due to one of the rear tyres yang termasuk ke dalam there, made me wear my seatbelt and killed the engine just as soon as I ended the swerve preventing me from hitting the divider on the opposite side of the road. Cuz my foot was still on the accelerator when it was all over. :O

And the best thing was, there was no noticeable damage on the car!!! Woohoo!!! SAVED!!!! kalau tak, mampos aku kene basuh ngan my dad. hahaha!!

So, the moral of the story is. Always wear ur seatbelt. Always stay calm during emergencies, (oh yes, I was surprisingly calm when I lost control of the car. I think because I main game racing banyak sangat kot. only felt the takutness when it was all over. I guess playing that Grid game in the cockpit view wasn't so useless afterall. :P) so i guess the last one is, play lotsa racing games yang ade cockpit view. haha!! it helps!! really :P

I feel old lah. How now?

Wah! I feel so old meh. Walking up and down stairs. Climbing up and down hills. Travelling from the dorm to classes, to the cafeteria, to outside Aswara stalls and outdoor restaurants, and not to mention from class to class too and finally the walk and ride home to and on the commuter. Wooh. It's non-stop action!! Haven't had this much activity since, ummm... forever. haha!

So now I'm back home. Early tomorrow morning, I have to supposedly wake up early and try to get a coupla bus tickets to JB. *stares at the clock on my pc* Hmmm... 2.30am. Not a good number to be seeing if I wanna wake up early tomorrow. But oh well, let's just leave it to destiny. Oh yes, I do believe in fate and destiny, but I also believe that we can alter it. Contradicting, yes? I know, but for me, I'd like to see it as a room with a lot of doors leading to different outcomes. Although all of them are pre-determined, we/I/you still have a choice of choosing which door to open and to go through. :D Makes a lot more sense now right? But that's just me. I like to think positive. Or at least try to.

Watched G.I. Joe with Abudi and Azam. Comments? It's just as I imagined it would be. A big sack of pure SUCK! OH YEAH!!! I'd write a review, but this movie is just not worth my time. So Imma head straight to the outro and say, DO NOT WATCH IF YOU WANT SATISFACTION OR FUN OR ENJOYMENT OR A LAUGH OR A LIFE for that matter. oops! tibe2 terkeluar the last sentence without me even realising it. Oh my indeed.

On another note, I'm actually quite sleepy already now. But I'm forcing myself to stay awake cuz I can't when I'm at school. So, kire ni cam nak use my free time to the fullest la ni. Filling it with useless time wasting things such as writing this blog post. Hohoho!

Vid progress is on hold. Still indefinitely. Hehe! Better hurry guys. Bulan puasa dah dekat ni. Confirm la takde orang buat sick tricks or the energy to do them during that time of month. Which is coming up pretty fast mind you. Hujung bulan ni wehh!!! OMG!!! And what about the Raya jam session?? Where are we gonna do our Hari Raya jam? And I would like suggest we train in our Baju Melayu with songkok and kain and everything!! Hahahaha!! Would make for a very interesting photo shoot and video too. Funny shit really.

and ummm... what else ah? can't think of anything more to add. So Imma just post up a coupla photos that have no relation to today's post as usual. :D Taken last coupla weeks when were supposed to film the "dudes with lack of footage" parts but ended up being another chill session. So enjoy some little rumput/lalang flower things and Abudi's ballet move!!! Yes my friends. Abudi does ballet in his free time. It's his other passion. So yea.. hahaha! Man, I should go get some sleep now.

goodnite. calu calu calu!!

I need my space.

Of all the things in the world, there's nothing I value more than my alone time. I'm not a social person. I can deal with people for a while. But I need my space. Now that I'm staying in a frickin hostel my nerves are always near the bleeding edge of bursting. I don't like crowded places, I don't like noisy places and now I'm living 5 days a week of my life in one. WHAT THE FUCK??? And when I get home, I'm expecting to chill in my limited chill time without any distractions much else lecturing. Honestly speaking, even tho this place I'm at is a really cool place to study, it's still school, with rules. I fucking hate rules. I fucking hate school. And most importantly, I FUCKING HATE people telling me what to do. FUCK THAT! But it's something I'm dealing with right now. People never change, they adapt. And that's what I'm doing. -(parents invading my space. u'd think after raising me for 24 years they'd know this about me. apparently they don't, even tho i tell them all the time. lol)

Anyway, expect to read a lot more of these vent posts. I'm trying to keep sane by working harder on my training regime. Conditioning never felt so good after spending a whole day with a bunch of people. Imma work on my legs more starting next week. They're a little weak for my tastes. Hopefully walking up and down the stairs in school will help me with that. And yea, I do call it school, cuz my way of studying now is the same way I studied during my school years. I never liked getting spoon fed. I do it on my own and that's the way I like it.

Gonna have to re-shoot some of Abudi's stuff later today if it doesn't rain. And get some of everyone else too, especially Qayyim. None of his stuff yet. The vid's 2 minutes in with some footage that might be taken out. Which leaves to around a minute and a half of confirmed shots out of the 5 minutes I'm planning to make. Gotta remember to get some of my fronts and parkour shit too. Only have a few of those. Can't see this getting done in the near future. Might be done by Ramadhan tho, hopefully.

alright, I'm off. Laters. No piccies cuz I'm lazy. :D
