Dirt Crawler

Last weekend I joined a few friends for my first Dirt Crawler session…

The event was organized by bro "old_skool” who is kind enough to bring his Fiat 131 drift machine and one of his buggy…

We started the day by having breakfast at mamak restaurant (opposite IOI Mall) in Puchong at 8.30am before proceeded to the site 30 minutes later… the site was ex-mining area just next to the Elite highway going towards KLIA…

Together with bro hashha, uncle cap48, bro golfaholic and his son, velasquez and his girlfriend, Sue, as well as my 13 year old son, Afiq… we arrived at the site around 10am and was greeted by bro old_skool and his friends…

Looking at bro old_skool’s buggy and drift machine, everybody was eager to put their hand on the steering wheels… bro hashha started the ball rolling on the buggy and soon after I followed suit…

Whilst bro old_skool started his drifting techniques in his trusted fiat 131 which really awe my son… (he's a drift ardent fan)

Bro hashha then took over in drifting and showed us a few stunts with most of us admiring from the side… somehow, his act made most of us getting excited and velasquez started drifting in his 240SE…

I was excited too but dare not try it on my 240 (coupled with no experience in drifting too)... Finally with the guidance of bro old_skool, I brave myself to try the drift… wow… not bad… but when I had the opportunity to do 'donut', that's where the real fun started… wooohooooooooo…. Really 'shiok' man…. Making 3 – 4 donuts turns at one time…

I then let my son, Afiq to get the feel of driving… teach him on how to drive in buggy and hey… not bad for the first timer… a bit nervous initially but after a few rounds, he started to feel confident already…

Given a few more practice, he can start driving smoothly… soon after he keep on telling me, he wanted to learn how to drift the car…. Hahaha…. relax my son... relax... Take it one at a time...

Bro hashha & velasquez then decided to go for a spin in velasquez's 240… after a few turns and twist, coupled with all the excitement, the didn't see one big hole ahead and the car literally flying over the hole before resting at the other end with a broken shaft… luckily nothing serious but the car need to tow back though…

Whilst waiting for the tow truck, we also watch the buggy jump done by bro hashha and bro old_skool… unfortunately, after a few jump, the buggy’s shaft bend and got to get it fix…

Due to scorching heat, Uncle Cap and I decided to leave around noon with the rest still playing with their buggies and drift machine…

It’s a wonderful experience though and most importantly I’m happy to spend time with my son who also shared same interest with me… till then…

Ciao

Got it from a friend of mine recently...

The Brick!!! Read It.

Read this today and don't delete it *even* if you are too busy!! You'll see.

THE BRICK
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.

As his car passed, no children appeared.
Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid
and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, 'What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money Why did you do it?' The young boy was apologetic.
'Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do,' He pleaded. 'I threw the brick because no one else would stop...' With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. 'It's my brother, 'he said 'He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.'

Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me.'
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay.
'Thank you and may God bless you,' the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy! push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home.

It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message:
*'Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!'

*God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts.
Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice to listen or not.

Thought for the Day:
If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning Face it, friend - He is crazy about you!

Share this to every 'beautiful person' you wish to bless.
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Read this line very slowly and let it sink in....
*If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.*

GOD LOVES YOU

Got this from a friend of mine...

Hargailah isteri anda......


Mulianya seorang isteri disisi Allah...
Dan betapa berharganya wanita yang bergelar isteri ini pada keluarga, suami dan anak-anak
Rugi dan binasalah suami-suami yang tidak menghargai isteri mereka kerana isteri inilah yang akan membantu mereka di akhirat kelak.
Biarlah buruk mana isteri anda, sayangilah mereka.....

Beruntungnya seorang wanita yg ada rahim ini ialah dia bekerja dengan Tuhan... jadi 'kilang ' manusia.
Tiap-tiap bulan dia diberi cuti bergaji penuh...
7 sehingga 15 hari sebulan dia tak wajib sembahyang tetapi Allah anggap diwaktu itu sembahyang terbaik darinya..
Cuti bersalin juga sehingga 60 hari.
Cuti ini bukan cuti suka hati tapi cuti yang Allah beri sebab dia bekerja dengan Allah.
Orang lelaki tak ada cuti dari sembahyang.. .
sembahyang wajib baginya dari baligh sehingga habis nyawanya.

Satu lagi berita gembira untuk wanita,
Sepanjang dia mengandung Allah sentiasa mengampunkan dosanya,
Lahir saja bayi seluruh dosanya habis.
Inilah nikmat Tuhan beri kepada wanita, jadi kenapa perlu takut nak beranak?

Marilah kita pegang kepada tali Allah.
Seandainya wanita itu mati sewaktu bersalin, itu dianggap mati syahid, Allah izinkan terus masuk Syurga.
Untuk orang kafir dia tak dapat masuk Syurga tapi Allah beri kelonggaran siksa kubur.
Untuk peringatan semua wanita yang bersuami
seluruh kebaikan suaminya, semuanya isteri dapat pahala tetapi dosa-dosa suami dia tak tanggung.

Diakhirat nanti seorang wanita solehah akan terperanjat dengan pahala extra yang banyak dia
terima diatas segala kebaikan suaminya yang tak disedari.
Contohnya bila dia redho suaminya pergi berjemaah di masjid atau ke majlis ilmu, bersedekah.. ganjaran Alah keatasnya jua..

Bila dia lihat suaminya tengah terhegeh-hegeh di titian Sirat dia tak nak masuk syuga tanpa suaminya, jadi dia pun memberi pahalanya kepada suami untuk lepas masuk syurga.
Didunia lagi, kalau suami dalam kesusahan isteri boleh bantu tambah lagi di akhirat.
Kalau seorang isteri asyik merungut,mulut selalu muncung terhadap suami dia tak akan dapat pahala extra ini.

Manakala suami pula mempunyai tugas-tugas berat didalam dan diluar rumah, segala dosa-dosa anak isteri yang tak dididik dia akan tanggung ditambah lagi dengan dosa-dosa yang lain..
Dinasihatkan kepada semua wanita supaya faham akan syariat Allah agar tidak derhaka denganNya.

Sesungguhnya wanita dijadikan daripada rusuk kiri lelaki.
Dia bukan dicipta dari kepala ke kaki,juga bukan dari tapak kaki. Dia dicipta dari sebelah rusuk kiri lelaki supaya dia hampir kepada kamu(lelaki) ,lengan lelaki dicipta untuk mempertahankan
wanita,dekat dengan hati lelaki untuk disayangi.

Just to share something today...

THE POEM

I knelt to pray but not for long,

I had too much to do.

I had to hurry and get to work

For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,

And jumped up off my knees.

My Muslim duty was now done

My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time

To spread a word of cheer.

No time to speak of Allah to friends,

They'd laugh at me I'd fear.

No time, no time, too much to do,

That was my constant cry,

No time to give to souls in need

But at last the time, the time to die.

I went before the Lord,

I came, I stood with downcast eyes.

For in his hands God held a book;

It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said

Your name I cannot find.

I once was going to write it down...

But never found the time"

Now do you have the time to share this?
