Licensed to drive
|
Yap, 3 months ago, I finally picked up the habit to really learn driving. Some people say that its because my gf got car, then I go and learn driving.
Well, I won't deny that either, but that's not the main reason for all of you to know. I guess my gf knows also. :) The reason(s) is/are that she have been driving me around, and I feel bad about it, mainly because she is the only one that can use the wheel, some time, we got tons of things to bring and bike is out of option, of course, weather is a big ass nowadays.
Then not long ago, ya, 3 months before I start learning, my aunt mentioned about buying a car in future for grandma's sake. She is getting old and worried that her limps might be too weak to walk long distance in future, so we are planning already.
So, I guess many people misunderstood and thought that having a car is good, I personally is half-hearted about it. Owning a car or even driving a car have several disadvantages over a bike, if I got to choose, I will take bike then car. So I not a car fan by the way.
That's aside, I manage to clear everything within 3 months. That's the fastest ever get. The moment I passed my final theory in 2 weeks, I booked the closest date that exist in the driving center, which is 3 months ago, and lucky me, able to pass the first time. I mentioned I pretty lucky because I have a happy TP with me, a very friendly nice elder that give me instructions and tell me what to do step by step. Like an instructor, not a silent killer.
Believe it or not, I got the feeling that he is the tester the moment he step in, haven't not say my name out. So I guess, with my guts feeling right, and all ready, good day also. I made my way out. Very lucky to say that I got more right turn to make then left turn, but well that won't affect me much.
Circuits are all good for me, well, I never have difficulties even when I learning my bike, but once again, I witness another driver(TP) that got difficulty getting into the crank course. (I wonder why it happens again, the last time my TP for bike, a bike crash when he doing E-brake, in front of me also)
Anyway, I have to learn how to drive my gf's car, cause real life driving and learning is hell different. LOL!! So lets do it. Take care guys!!
For those that want to learn driving in UBI, and need a good instructor, let me know. My instructor can be very ah beng, but he know the knacks, how to cheat and how to drive correctly. |

TEAM BONDING!!! CHIONG AH!!
|
Alright,
Other than all the work, Concept:Magic is not just about work work work, its also about team bonding. Because the whole team is very small, multi-tasking team, so we are very particular about team work and bonding.
So yesterday marks the day that we do our team bonding activity at ORCHARD CENTRAL! Not Orchard ION. We went to climb the gigantic wall that from far, looks like 8 Stories HIGH! Well, I was technically team with Matt while the rest is a 3 men/women team.
And for godsake, it was not as easy as it seems, keeping your balance and while resisting the force of gravity, you need to climb up the steep wall and it seems like you are always falling. Looking down and behind is not advisable for weak hearted. LOL!!
Joking on that, it was fun and interesting. It shows a different side of things, some people need more time to move to place to place, and it shows that, fast pacers, can actually slow down, and help them, then rushing to the end point. Well, I know its tiring to wait and energy burn out fast, but the end result, all of us is so happy that we made it. :)
The Ferrata Wall, is not just for the young and energized. But for people that want to try something different, or even try to team bond. Because you get to see people reaction from start to end. At end of journey, what they are actually.
Well, its all good and no bad. For those that are interested to hit the wall, please go down to ORCHARD CENTRAL and try it out!
ORCHARD CENTRAL FERRATA WALL is at LEVEL 4 of ORCHARD CENTRAL(Near Somerset MRT) and go in Weekdays, to avoid the crowd and well, its better to have less people to watch you if you cannot complete it. LOL!!
NEXT TIME, we challenge paint ball WAR!!! |

A bad good day.
|
Well, rainy days are technically good in some way. Good to sleep, to watch the rain, etc. But its not good when you are riding a bike on the road with ridiculous drivers that think that driving on wet road is the same as normal road.
This is what happened to me. Assuming a small lane coming out to a main road, you suppose to stop before you go because need to check incoming vehicles. That is the correct way or safe way I presume and esp on a wet road. So I happily stop before turning out because I saw an incoming car, and god knows how fast he is and whether he is turning anot. Before I can resume my way and about to turn out, BANG. 1 idiot car whack straight right into my ass, with my exhaust piercing into his bumper and me falling off my bike.
My first reaction is, all kinds of words come out and I was so shocked. Because this person actually wanted to speed out into the main road! I was so pissed off by his action (Not the banging part) that he, not concerned of the road condition on the main road and the wet road, he just want to speed out because he want to bypass the incoming car to the 2nd lane!
I mean, how can you assume that?! What if there is a car hidden behind that car and going quite fast, the moment you turn out, he has no time to react and worse, full force knock down.
I pretty turned off by this kind of people where in bad road conditions, they still can speed for 100 km or 120 km on the road.
Enough of that, I was so pissed off and few things happened, 1 guy was looking at his watch, I pretty guess that he is rushing for time, and thats why the driver speed. And another guy was just quoting me the price of repairs. No sorry, no nothing, no sense of gulit that "sorry, I went too fast, cannot stop in time" But, oh, you okie? 300 for your damage?
I super angry because of the amount of things that was delayed because of him, I got him to pay for my damages and lucky my bike is still okie, nothing wrong.
These people should just stop driving, you don't own the road and its because of this people, that there are accidents happening every time it rains.
Back to reality, I don't have much injuries because I wear jeans and boots. So, screw their asses and good luck to them. |

Recently I finished up 3 shows for the heartlanders and it has been great fun doing it. New things up in my show and different crowd each time. But I still think I have lots of room to improve on, esp after looking at myself in the video. LOL!!
Anyway, I also got news that there is a high chance that I will be performing in the new Entertainment Ground which is suppose to open next year for 3 months!!
Ya, 3 months, I myself was shocked. LOL!! But it will be a great experience to have if everything went down smoothly.
As of now, we are updating our list of contacts for to update them of our latest gigs and things for the upcoming year ahead. So those that wish to be inside the contact list, Event producer for both big and small, major and minor, haha!! Please let me know.
My show is basically targeted for heartlanders and I can speak in both mandarin and english, with a mix of hokkien if needed. (My hokkien not powerful, so pardon me k)
My show includes fire eating/spinning act, the deadly barb wires, 1 and only unique Strait jacket escape and the 1-handed mail bag escape.
Targeted to bring fun and entertainment to the heartlanders, thats what I am made of.
So those that are organizing RC events or similar, you can contact me directly at my hp(If you know) or daredevilmagician@gmail.com.
