Life Updates - [evilgenius]

Been very busy and there're no posts about meself. As i've been very busy, so here goes.. by popular demand.. My Life - Updated. kekhekhekhekhehekh..

Lets start with my job. Since the break up - see few posts below. Life hasnt been easy for me. Behind the smiles and laugthers i try to put on outside, i still come back home feeling sad and lonely and empty.. no matter how i kept myself busy. Despite that, i feel lucky to have the people around me who've been giving me support and advice when i was down. Thank you all. Plus the fact that i've been seeing less of my families doesnt help either. Prior to the break up, received an offer from Maersk Logistics at gelang patah. Pay is good, lots of benefits, better and new opportunity up for grabs so this is where i'm working now. Ok ok actually been trying to join this company for 2 years so once i got the call.. i just took the offer without 2nd thoughts. Main objective is to get in. Then only its how i work my way around. The place where i'm working at is very far from JB, its at PTP - i'm in the freezone, i travel 80kms/day to and from work.. and there isnt much going ons there. Food is cheap tho.. fresh seafoods with a cool view to beat.. you guys shud come here and visit me.. haha. This past three months have been hectic. Started work on the 1st of August. Probation period shud be 6 months but i got confirmed in less than 3 months. Good sign this. At least i know i'm performing up to their standards. Youngest protege.. kekekkeke.. Been working my ass out every single day. Late nights, overtimes, kepoh kepoh here and there.. learning the ropes. Its very very interesting - the whole works.. but also, very stressful and a single mistake cud cost very dearly. This took my mind off of the break up a bit.. but still i come home feeling sad and lonely.. hahahaha.. To all my friends whom i seldom see nowadays, i actually miss u guys.. i truly apologize for not being able to come for futsal on monday nights.. its not that i dun want to.. but i'm totally flat out everytime i come home.. even if i'm not there, it doesnt make much difference oso wat. hahaa.. So next time if i texted you guys out for drinks.. u guys better show up.. hahaha.. and to the others.. keep in touch.. time susah cari gua.. dah senang.. senyap senyap.. blah la lu.. hahaha.. my phone number sudah 3 tahun tak tukar la.. no reason to say lost my number.. you guys can still ask around..

Then there's Hari Raya.. this year's raya.. has got the be the worse raya celebrations for me. First day raya, holiday. 2nd day raya have to work. 3rd day raya holiday till end of the week. Sounds gud? no.. This year's raya.. i spent my first day raya without my family. By afternoon of raya.. they all balik kampung edi as there's a big family gathering on the 3rd of raya and our family is the host. So i just hang out with my uncles and aunties at my gramp's place on the first day raya. The next day hafta work edi. Hari raya just dun mean anything anymore. Shopping oso adoi.. beli sendiri.. Not that it matters much to me anyways. Hari raya has always been about duit raya. hahaha.. not getting any now. darn. Went up to muar on the 3rd raya for the family gath. Boring morning drive alone to muar. But the event was a success. Biasa la.. royal family.. big event.. surely ok wan.. no hickups.. tho it rained a bit at the end of the function..

I'm a lot fatter now. Gonna start trimming down my weight and get back into shape next month la. Need to keep fit.. find a girl.. and settle down quickly. hahhaa.. sudah gatal edi.. Thinking back.. my life has actually been in quite a mess in these past few months. Check out my room. Messy. I spend more time at work than with my family at home. With friends, i try to make it a point to at least call or meet up once a week. My car sumtimes go unwashed for 2 weeks. Gud thing is i spend less as i seldom go out nowadays. Got meself a new phone, touched up my car, bought few stuffs for my car, treat people makan, etc..

Its not easy to compromise a balance of everything. Somethings gotta give. What you lost in time, you gain in experience. As for myself, i still have my goals in sight, finetune a bit when necessary and not one day went past without me plotting my evil plans to reach em. One step at a time. kekekeekeke.. Dedicate this catch phrase below to all of you..

"Face your fears, live your dreams"
- No Fear-

Eid Mubarak

Here's wishing everyone a happy and eventful Hari Raya Celebration. Its the time for forgiving and giving. Drive safely, people. Once again, here's to everyone..!!

Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir & Batin.

Kenangan Terindah - Samsons

I dedicate this song to Balkis. Its been hard for me. Wish i wud not have to go thru this. You're the best that has ever happened to me. You'll always have a special place in my heart. This song is by Samsons and its called "Kenangan Terindah"..

Kenangan Terindah
- Samsons -
Lyrics

Aku yang lemah tanpamu
Aku yang rentan karena
Cinta yg tlah hilang darimu
yang mampu menyanjungku

Selamat tak terbuka
sampai jantung tak berdetak
Selama itupun aku mampu untuk
mengenangmu

Darimu... (darimu)
ku temukan hidupku...
Bagiku... (bagiku)
kaulah cinta sejati... yea... hu...
Huu... (dirimu... bagiku...
engkaulah cinta sejati)

Bila yang tertulis untukku
adalah yang terbaik untukmu
Kan ku jadikan kau kenangan
yang terindah dalam hidupku
Namun takkan mudah bagiku
meninggalkan jejak hidupku
Yang tlah terukir abadi sebagai
kenangan yang terindah... ahh...

Bila yang tertulis untukku
adalah yang terbaik untukmu
Kan ku jadikan kau kenangan
yang terindah dalam hidupku
Namun takkan mudah bagiku
meninggalkan jejak hidupku
Yang tlah terukir abadi sebagai
kenangan yang terindah... ahh...

(Bila yang tertulis untukku
adalah yang terbaik untukmu)
(Kan ku jadikan kau kenangan
yang terindah dalam hidupku)
(Namun takkan mudah bagiku
meninggalkan jejak hidupku)
(Yang tlah terukir abadi sebagai
kenangan yang terindah...)

UNINTENDED
- Muse-

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You could be the one I'll always love
You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions
You could be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

First there was the one who challenged
All my dreams and all my balance
She could never be as good as you

You could be my unintended
Choice to live my life extended
You should be the one I'll always love

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before

Before you

13th August Trackday

As promised.. here goes..

Weather was gud.. turnout was gud too.. the usual trackers... plus a few more..

Sad thing was..

THERE WERE NO BABES..!!

Babes were aplenty in the last outing... few of the guys were a bit wangi today.. wore nice shirts.. shave.. cologne stengah botol.. all hoping to tackle babes while their partners are out on track.. but sadly... there were none..

From our side, there were 2 Fiat Coupe 20VT.. AR 145, Wira Mivec RS, AR 147,.... and a special appearance... Fariqe in his Mitsuoka Zero 1... who tracked today..

The others who came.. dzul, ronek, syaelly, ellysya, jipeng, freemen, and few others who arent always online but come for tt..

Our crowd was the biggest there.. heehheh.. am sure everyone enjoyed themselves..

As for me.. for this trackday.. my trackday-prep include..
- MAF sensor cleaning
- ECU reset (disconnect battery for an hour)
- wheel alignment
- engine oil top up
- straight piping (no back box)
- berak dulu (driver lightening)

Nothing much really.. but i managed to shave off 2 sec of my previous best timed lap..

Its now.. 2 min 10 sec (normal street tyres)

Tyres were in a bad condition.. 'scars' from the previous track outing still visible on the tyre edges.. Car understeered a lot.. 2 tyres on the gravel on a couple of turns.. and almost lost control on the last corner.. all in the same lap.. hahaha.. and thats where i learnt its limit..
From then onwards.. managed to induce slides in most corners/turns.. and enjoyed it all the while.. hehehe.. but then again, there's only so much u can do with understeer and FF 4 wheel slides.. unlike FR cars.. and I ran on a little lower tyre pressure.. need more grip..
There were lots of seasoned track cars out there.. most of em practicing and tuning their cars for the upcoming merdeka race and johor race series.. busy track today.. and there were a couple of monkeys too on track.. really..! haha.. only casualty of the day was a bird.. hit my lower left side of the windscreen while it was flying upwards.. hahaha.. saw it rolled on the ground from my rear view mirror after it hit me.. err.. or i hit it..? ok after it hit me.. i'm no bird killer.. that bird commit suicide..
Tapaued one track car.. a proton saga.. bugger cant keep up with me.. went offline on few short straights to let him pass.. but the fella simply cant overtake.. so i just took him on.. played a couple of laps with him until he limped off track.. dunno wat happen maybe brake jam or telur tersepit..
Sat in Fariqe's Mitsuoka Zero 1 for about 4-5 laps... basket.. scary at first.. sit so low to the track.. but after the first lap.. ok edi.. took on one race prep EK until the car backed off and waved for us to pass by.. was fun tho.. and watching him control his car.. was all poetry in motion.. very precise and sharp.. late braking.. slow in fast out.. power out.. tail out.. heel and toe.. whooaahhh..! respect..!
and as promised.. gave taxi rides to the guys.. hope u guys had fun riding with me..
This will be the last track day for the current set of tyres on the car.. outer edges all gone now.. thanks to the mini race.. huhu..
All in all.. it was a whole lot of fun.. better than the last couple of times.. here's to more trackdays..! Enjoy the pics guys..

Half way down the first lap.. I was already last on track.. ahahah.. I think I bettered my lap time in this race but no one timed me.. coz i wasnt far off from the last track car in the first lap.. after the straights.. kena tinggal kaw kaw.. most of the cars were running on slicks anyways.. for me, I just wanna get the feel only.. for the fun of it.. syiok syiok running alone.. clear track.. tau tau saja finishing flag sudah wave.. and the cheers.. from the pits.. whoaahh.. cool..!!
Rasa macam menang race.. didnt get overlapped.. and didnt retire.. thats an achievement in its own right.. stock car againts seasoned trackers.. whaddaya expect? aint that bad rite..? rite? or is it? haha.. Ok.. was kidding.. there's no Road Car Category.. its an open challenge.. hehee..

Here are the guys & rides.. IA and non IA..




Post race... changed back exhaust.. rotate the tyres.. and surprise surprise..! this is wat I did to my car.. put in a used set of TSW EVO-R.. they're very much lighter than my Alessio Monte Carlos..

Gelang Patah Highway Accident

this is something i just gotta share with you guys.. even thinking about it makes me shiver and how lucky i was to have escaped it.. barely escaped it.. not really a big accident.. but still is an accident..

here's wat happen.. and like most IA stories, i'll start with..

I was cruising and minding my own business..

.. on my way back from work. Was going at a slow and steady pace, around 160-170 km/h on the right lane.. looking out for cops hiding between the middle railings.. and at the same time.. looking for potential victims to prey on.. hahaha.. it was around 6 plus in the evening.. its a 3 lane hiway - 4 including emergency lane..

on that part of town.. and during that time.. there were lots of motorbikes - people coming back from work.. most of em from singapore..

i'd just went past a trailer travelling on the middle lane.. and about 150m in front of me.. there was this one black car.. and further infront of the car, there's this motorbike riding along on the lines between the left lane and middle lane.. the car move from the middle lane to the left lane.. and i think the car clipped the back of the bike.. motorbike fell.. and the car swerved left and right between just inside the left lane and the middle lane... until it somehow snapped and hit the railings head-on on the left side of the road.. i was fast approaching.. watched everything... didnt lift my right foot off the throttle.. still travelling at a constant speed.. wanted to brake and slow down but cant move my legs.. was eagerly anticipating the move of the vehicles in front.. but didnt react to anything yet.. and its a gud thing i didnt slow down.. thank god..
the car, upon hitting the railing head on.. it bounced and rolled back to the road.. horizontally moving across to the other side of the road - on to the right lane that is.. where i was still travelling fast..
by the time it reached the middle lane.. i was slightly behind and i can see the faces of the driver and passenger.. both in shock.. panic.. kinda scared.. and both are looking at me coming fast on the right lane.. the rolling car just missed my by a few inches.. and right after i went past.. the car hit the railing on the right - the divider railing.
the crash sound was loud.. was travelling with the windows halfway down... and with the winds blowing.. i cud clearly hear the bang when the car hit the railing.. if i was a little slower.. the car cud have banged into me.. and if i really braked and slowed down when the biker first fell on the road, and if the car rolled across the road, i cud not have managed to stop in time and might have banged the car on its sides..

from the rear view mirror.. i cud see other cars that were way behind me moving in different directions.. trying to avoid banging each other.. and the lorry.. luckily it wasnt that fast and it managed to avoid hitting the car as the car bounced back from the divider.
it all happened in split seconds..
it wasnt until i reached home that started to feel how lucky i was to have escaped being in the thick of it all..
dun know what happen to the biker.. hope he/she is alrite and no one went over him/her...
typing this here.. still gives me the fright..
lucky me.. heheeh..

this time.. going fast, saved me.. kekkekeek..

moral here is.. drive faster guys.. speed dun kill... crashing does..

to those who travel using this hiway.. be careful guys..

life is precious u know..

Thank you

For the people who always hold me up,

I put my daily thoughts into this rhapsody.

Deliver my feelings of appreciation

Thanks for always

Thanks, for real.

No matter where you are,

I'm grateful for your presence.

When the twilight city was bathed in vermilion,

I walked the streets without a care.

In the afternoon, when crowds of comers and goers swell,

I tried just sort of standing still.

When a tiny gap opened in my heart,

I tried to fill it by learning cell phone manners.

You're not alone, just look.

We'll hold each other up.

For the people who always hold me up,

I put my daily thougths into this rhapsody.

Deliver my feelings of appreciation.

Thanks for always

Thanks, for real.

No matter where you are,

I'm grateful for your presence.
