i can't help but kept smiling for the whole day, it's my first time driving a go-kart today! Okay so why am i so crazy over karts? the reason: i'm a fan of formula 1 and i wanna try the basics of car racing - go karting. well well, dont look down on go karts for you can never know which driver may be the next lewis hamilton (i can almost hear the girls going crazy over his name, haha)karting teaches everything about racing. okay, let me share my experience today:

i arrived at the circuit around 10 this morning, made my payment and proceed to the mechanic. i was directed to a kart, and no sooner i was seated on a kart. the moment that i was waiting for finally came round. with adrenaline pumping inside me, i rested my feet on the two pedals. the mechanic fired up my engine, i stepped on the accelerator and tried to turn the steering wheel, steering away from the line of karts. i can feel the resistance of the steering force, no wonder there's a need for racing drivers to have strong arms. well, my gym training paid off. as i sped down the long straights i can feel the vibrations and the strong wind that brushed acrossed my skin.after a few laps my fingers were numbed from the vibrations. as i negotiate the different corners (hairpins, bend) i can feel the lateral gravity forces acting on me, something that race drivers live with. it feels like cornering a car without braking. well, this is only a kart, it would be more on a full blown race car. the vibrations, the steering force, the lateral G, the heat, the full concentration, no wonder they say it's grueling behind the engine roar. after the first few laps, i can feel myself going faster and faster as i got familiarize with the circuit. it was not long when i was signalled to pit.

it was an indeed an fascinating experience, and i'm so going back to kart. and i know for sure racing is in my blood :D seeya

Hohoho! Santa is coming. not because of anything else* i'm having my much awaited term break now, but i feel lost and empty. perhaps i'm thinking too much. sometimes my dad is just driving me crazy, i wish i can end him. my life's too ordinary, too boring. i went to watch avatar in 3D, very nice indeed. i need to do more things if not i'm just thinking too much.

These days i've been wanting to get started in karting, perhaps i want santa to give me a race suit, a helmet, a pair of racing gloves and a pair of racing shoes. Santa please!
