It has been such a long long time that I din update my blog, due to
laziness that no medicine can cure bus'yness that I've gone through all this while. Ever since my last entry, I'd been quite busy for preparing tests, final year project presentation and final exams (yea, they really my final finals in my uni life). Fortunately, I'm still alive now after all these tortures from both physically as well as mentally.
Tonight (or I should say at this early morning?), while I'm waiting for my hair to dry, I decide to post something that have happened during my final exam weeks, as all my coursemates
are so eagerly to read my new entry have teased me a lot for my laziness on posting new entry.
Not only lazy on blogging, seems like I become a lot lazier recently, even though in my studies... Perhaps I realize that last sem life should be more relaxing. Therefore, while my housemate Shiang asked me to go watching drifting tournament (D1GP) at Danga Bay during my study week, I went for it without hesitation... kekee... Nah, to some of my coursemates, don't blame me that I din call u guys, as Shiang asked me 5 mins before he left home. So right after I got changing, I just followed two automobil maniacs (Shiang and Wei) and heading towards Danga Bay lar ~
Well, all I can say is I've got no regrets for abandoning my revision to watch it! It's superb, man! Although I really know nth about drifting :p
An honourable guest had been invited to be the judge in the drifting tournament. Guess who? He's
Keiichi Tsuchiya San, most renowned drifter in the world, Japan Drift King or "Dorikin" in Japanese! I believe that those who have watched Initial D anime won't find this name unfamiliar. Besides being the judge, Keiichi Tsuchiya San had also demostrated his drifting skill before the tournament started.
Forgot wat car model is it, but with Keiichi Tsuchiya driving inside. Although his car banged on the barricade during the 1st attempt, all audiences still clapped their hands happily and shouted sth like "king is always king, even banging also can be so powerful", "Ah, this is not the car that he uses to drive, he wont make any mistake if he drives his own car."
Leaving me curi ketawa beside, thought that "king is always king, others will find excuses for a king's mistake."
Btw, for his following attempts, he's done perfectly! No mistake at all... Well, u guys must be wondering y I know whether there's good or bad. Honestly, I know nth about drifting, but seeing his car 'biao yat biao' just like watching the InitialD movie, and heard that every1 clapping their hands loudly, then I know it's good d, very easy, right? =D
After taking dinner nearby, the tournament started. To be honest, it was quite boring at the eliminating phase. Just looking at cars drifting one by one in the same circuit... *yawn*
Participants' cars were more or less the same, either AE86, skyline GTR, Cefiro and some of the models that I can't recognize. Btw, it became really exciting when Tsuisou Battle has begun! In Japanese, Tsuisou means chase. So Tsuisou battle is actually a race between 2 cars drifting nose-to-tail against each other. The rear car tries to overtake the front car while the front car prevents it to do so, with condition that both cars must drift at the same time! Marks will not be given if the car is understeered or without drifting at all... Lolz, dont think my explaination is good, too bad that the video clips that I captured that night are bad in quality, else can show u guys here...
So after round and round "kan cheong" Tsuisou battles, there were 2 finalists to compete for the champion. And coincidently, both were also AE86...
Hmm, is AE86 really that suitable for drifting? Well, I dunno, but this is the wining AE86 driven by champion of the night, Tengku Djan Ley, one of Malaysia's top driver.
Posing beside AE86, do I look like a drifter too? haha ~
Nah, c the uncle in the middle of crowd? That's the legendary Keiichi Tsuchiya San! Good daddy look, right?
