another source of inspiration>> German Supermoto
With the great news from Kied of Slackriders that there will be a half-dirt half-tarmac supermoto race if there's good response, I need all the inspiration I can get, all the strength, health and steel yarbles....LoL....See me jump in races to come....It's a dream come true balls......I'm an official racer under the SMSA, I'm registered and legal to participate in any event for 2009.

Getting better
Im getting better but am still not well for anything physical...
Sigh, haven't practice for 4th January's race...I hope that doesn't affect much. I will practice next week. And I haven't really tuned my bike.
I missed a run last Tuesday....sigh...but hey, there's always a blessing behind something unpleasant. That's what I always believe to keep my spirits up.
And I'm glad the way I am now.....
Only one thing left to do, after all settled down and probably after my confirmation, I am going to eye center for a check up for my poor vision.
And to all my celebrating friends, Merry Xmas.
I'm going to take a nap now.....taaaa....

Sick day 3
3 days and I'm still sick....gosh its such a drag if you're sick....
I've been on youtube watching dirt, mx and supercross videos...I just got this weird feeling I might be owning a dirtbike in the near future...LoL.....it's a bit late for someone turning 30 next year but I just wanna do rad things before I grow old, fragile and probably fat....LoL
And I bet when I have a kid, in his childhood he will get a mx for one of his birthdays. When I got my class 2b, my dad didn't want me to have his friend's sportbike cos he knew I will ride crazy in it but I didn't want that, I wanted what my classmate had, a Yamaha WR200 which is a rather hot MX bike back then, affordable yet powerful. Of course my request was declined and being a student with no cash, I couldn't say no to the beat up 3rd hand scooter that my father bought me. It's better than nothing.
Within a year, I sold off that beat up scooter and being a student with measely paid temporary jobs, I can only afford another scooter, a better and faster scooter and guess what, I raced with that scooter when the school compound turns into a temporary race circuit for me and Herman my classmate. Was rad, was fun till the front end hit the side of a kerb as I open throttle at a corner, the scooter flipped, chipped my tooth, lips bled, scar on my chest. The impact on my chest stopped me from breathing for a second or two but I was fine after that. From then on I got stuck to scooters since its cheap and all and soon I was mixing around with the scooter boys, thats where I grew into scootering and I fell in love with classics. But those who remembered riding with me, I still threw stupid stunts on a classic scooter, imagine a classic popping wheelies. LoL
In 2002-2003, Xr4 was like the craze back then, partly cos its affordable and a rad bike with loud stock pipe if you remove the silencer/diffuser. I wanted that so bad, I almost bought my friend's xr4 but my other half back then forbids me from doing so. I should've just went ahead with it had I known what would've happened. So anyways, the story carries on...
I switched to a gilera back in 2006 for a faster, speedier scooter...I switched partly cos I was sick of slow and unreliable classics. I almost bought a DRZ back then, cos that's the period when it got released, the SM version but I was afraid to commit cos I just got myself a new job and I don't know if I can cope. So anyways, I was still doing silly things on two wheels, I crashed my scooter after a month owning it, popping wheelies across a hump....LoL Yes, I was pretty silly back then.
So finally, here I am on a half-scrammie, the DRZ, racing legally in a circuit. Finally when I have a stable job, more authority over what I wanna do. Finally I am here, racing, what I always wanted to do as a fat kid back then, I still remembered racing my bmx with my cousin and looking at my uncle's photographs of him having lessons at pasir gudang, I guess that's when it fueled everything.
Being grown up and all, I know its not worth pulling stunts in public not in a proper gear and all cos I just flipped my bike pulling an endo and got 3 stitches for it about 2 months ago. I was lucky that I was still able to get up and ride again. Now, the only avenue I can feed my thirst is at the circuit and I will continue racing till I get sick of it....LoL...that I'm not sure when the time will come.
For those criticisms I get, hey at least its healthy, it's not a crime.
Now what I need to do is upgrade myself when the opportunity comes, get pay increments, get promotions, so that I can feed my hobby. I will retire when the time comes and when I need to.

sick
It's been quite some time since I got sick....and I hate being sick, feel so helpless, weak.
Jokes don't feel as funny, laughters not enjoyable anymore.....
I went out anyways, with Ain to Albert complex to look for watches, didn't buy any. Went for dinner at Tong Seng, although I finished the whole bowl but it wasn't an enjoyable meal cos of my sore throat....I decided that we go back after that cos like we were directionless and I had little mood to think of something to do.
Sigh....looks like I have to work today in this state but fret not cos Tuesday is my off day and I think I wanna take leave on Wednesday, so at least if I'm not well to run on Tuesday I can run on Wednesday. Furthermore the track only opens from Wednesday to Sunday, I can practice for the upcoming race on 4th January. And I do not like working afternoon shifts, although there's less work to do.
Sigh....I'm not even in the mood to type some more....
