driving a go kart

thanks to this, my whole body is aching now...my back, my arms and even my legs...just as i tot i was gonna get better, it got worse!! my legs is a bit swollen up and my arms are just so painful! its gonna take me a few days till i can walk straight again man :( each time i get up from bed, i feel numb, and start limping *sobs*

but heck, it was an awesome experience...

note: if you do not have a driving license, please do not drive the kart!

seriously! it helps alot if you know how to drive a car...not like driving a kart is similar to driving a car, but it still has a somewhat steering wheel so it does help especially in controlling the kart...also, playing daytona at the arcades does help too...basically, if u have driven using the steering wheel be it a car or games, as long u know how to control is the main thing la...there was this one girl in our all girl race that has never driven a car before, she doesnt even hav a driving licence to begin with, and thanks to her, im aching all over! Our first heat, I literally banged my kart into hers...and before the race, she told everyone to be polite and civilise when driving but look whose talking?!?!? i was driving right behind all along and was going rather fast, and suddenly way in front she muz hav lost control and den i banged her! like wth?!?!

the impact was hard and painful! omg, so wont wanna remember that moment again! and that made me last! bloody hell...i was actually driving so smoothly at first and after tat bang, i was last! at least the 2nd heat was way better...i was practically accelerating all the way and i noticed it wasnt that easy for the girl behind to overtake me who was pratically following quite closely behind until a small mini bang in the middle...both the races, kudos to shwuch! she was just the best among all the drivers!!! super consistent, driving at full high speed! something that i learnt from her as well as the guys...feedback from the guys that our 2nd heat was really GANAS! hahahaha ;)

and another "exciting" thing for the guys who were our audience, my 1st heat, i wore this really big helmet...the guy looked at my face and tot an S size would fit perfectly...he even smacked the helmet a little to see if it was loose or anything, but i wonder why din he realize it was soo big for me!!! seriously weh, especially after that bang, the helmet kept falling off! and it was soo hard to drive! hard to see the track, and each time i passed the guys, i could hear sound effects!!! LOLS felt so embarrased, but i kept them entertained =X Lucky thing, I saw an XS size and wore that nice and tight for my 2nd heat...so all the more i was driving at high speed :P Heck, that felt GOOD! :D At least i came in 3rd or 4th...from last XD We reached there pretty late, so by the time i got home and had to shower coz needed to keep my hair clean for my photoshoot the next day, so i washed my hair and by the time i slept was bout 2.30!

What a long night! Had 2 rounds of go karting, yummy sausages and beef, and transport there and back with a party on bus, which made us karaoke on the way back, all for 75aud is definately soo worth it! totally dont regret a single bit going for it :D for a first timer at this, it was all worth it :) and it was fun being around these people...Like ive said before, or maybe not, I just enjoy being around with them...crazy amount of fun and weird moments we have! and the best part is we're all malaysians so its good :D

i just wouldnt wanna go further on what was going on in the bus on the way there! LOL
