Fly 3deee!!

Im going flipping 3D! Ok I’m saying flying 3D not about building 3D models but I still do make some but at slow pace but never declining. So I’m now branching a new path of flying that is flying some cool acrobatic moves and 360 degree stunts which local flyer called it 3D flying. I bought some 3D planes range from various types of size, built and performance which now I had 6 of them and still counting. I got myself PRECISION AEROBATIC ELECTRIC SHOCK, 2X HK TRISTANIA/TECHONE SPIRIT, HK PITTS SPECIAL, TECHONE PIAGET and TECHONE MALIBU F3P. Also soon to come are 1.4m size 3D planes. A break from soaring into the clouds and back to the sea level flying patterns and 3D moves it was a blast flight as I’m proud that my thumb stick skills still rocks since my last 3D heli flight with all those cool move a plane model can do that can jaw drop some spectator who came to watch our mini airshow. Its been 2 weeks into 3D and I’m soo hooked with also those cool moves such as prop hanging, knife edges, harrier hover, rolls, figure 8, imellmans turns and all sort of funky flying style beyond limitation. Good thing some of my favorite planes are made of soft EPP foamies, lighter than a pair of jeans, virtually no maintenance, cheap parts, safe to fly in the public and if it crash into anything it doesn’t even scratch a thing. This is good stuff for friends and family who spectate nearby.
We also did some creativity of our own putting strips of LED for night fly and it was spectacular sights having some bright blinkies in the night sky, was a crow magnet too. Since I’ve been flying this friendly slomo foamie 3D flight I made some new friends from curious spectator who also ended interested into flying. Flying sometimes can be a social thing and sometimes I ended up invited for a tea time having flying nearby my neighborhood. Looking at the mirror I don’t I have a friendly facial expression on my face due to some irritating wrinkles well maybe i looked like Bozo the clown with balloons ready to entertain the kids, lmao. Anyway flying is socially fun and it keeps me away from bad influence on TV, lol.

Opps! Its Mooncake festival dinner today!

Was surpise that today was Mooncake festival and everyone was in the rushed to get back home to celebrate the occasion. My sister already made a plan ahead for taking the whole family and her fiance for dinner at hotel. Its been quite a while we haven't had dine outside our home at night. Lots of dummy growling dishes was served including 4 seasons cuisine, steam bass fished, sweet mixed veges, bbq duck, toated chicken dumplings, tasty chicken soup, rices, sweet seasoned cutted jelly fish and some dessert. Was a great dinner for this week especially with family. Being absent minded to know whats happening inside the calendar was my obvious personal traits. Sometimes i do forget my own birthday.

Sister's eve engagement

Tomorrow is my sister's big day, It will be her Engagement ceremony where both sides of the parents and relative gather around the couples to witness the confirmation of Engagement before marriage. This eve tonight our relative start cooking some of our local traditional dishes: rice on banana leaves bbq, rendang beef and stuff that is just mouth watering. With some decoration, furniture arrangement, gifts ready, make up staff and relative helping out around the house, tonight will be very busy night. As for me i just tour around the kitchen for some nice munchies. Dinner time everyone got together for a big family meal. I made 3 rounds of mega plate of beef enough calories to create beer belly.

Food fest: Night burger

Under the twinkling twilight of night life in the city we enjoy our meal with some nice BBQ taste hamburger...plus another that makes 2x. Its great to be out again for cycling out under the sunset till night. We get to experience night life along the city edge.

Food fest: Fish rolls

After riding beyond 75km milage for today we reward ourself with yummy treats at local steak house. Heavy but essential to replace our burned calories and recovered our dire tired muscles. We have not yet encounter such "fatty phobia" yet. With our current activity what comes in burns out so nothing left being fatty except our butt.

Food fest: Hot chocolate & buns

We skip the usual dinner dishes and go for Victorian style tea time. Another way to enjoy after evening hard cycling around the city.

Ride under the moon.

The best thing having an extreme dry spell during the day especially this dry season is that at night the clouds will be very clear, cold and brightly lit moon as if its crashing close to earth. Me an my buddies cycle along the partially scorched grass land with our lights turned off allowing the rays of moonlight to take over and shines our path. It was totaly almost blue luminance around us and really breath taking scenery as the cold wind pass by behind us pushing us forward ease our pedaling. As we cycle away from urban night lights we are flooded with blue darkness but its was too beautiful to ignore such rare occasion to see what forest nature looks like under the brightly cloudless moon. All the grasses and tree leaf tuned bright blue with a bit sparkle on its surface. The we ride up the hill to see the entire horizon of field below us. Wow, its like blue carpet of sea.

Interruption to shop?!

Aww, i hate when my timetable interrupted by someone's invitation. I suppose to have my nights working on my new design on computer but i decided to join just for the sake keeping them happy as we shop around our local shopping center. The fact is i haven't been hanging around inside the shopping complex for 5 months and buy stuff in there. I don't feel like urban guy, im more outdoor type like being in the open air instead being crowded with people and luxury around me. As i get futher older year by year it seems that going luxury trends isn't much necessity any more. When i was a teenager i always like to clad on branded stuff like Puma, Addidas, Nike and things that are very popular, branded and expensive. As i got older my way of thinking spending all these stuff comes to a mature level. My words when it comes to buying stuff for my self is: "if its enough to cover my body then is sufficient enough..don't pay more for less function".
I had a friend who's wearing a shoddy, crumpled looking Levis Shirt, he asked me to guess how much its worth. "RM$30" i say. He was angry because he paid RM$150 for that. So what, it doesn't looks that special..i get better looking ones for less than RM$30...its just a shirt. I'd rather use that fund for my hobby and other usefull development that give happiness and huge output of technical knowledge. Spend wise people.

Eat all you can

I always remind myself not to waste any food in front of me especially after watching unfortunate people from unfortunate country on tv. I attended wedding dinner (not much people on my table, yeah!), variety of nice cuisines, I gobble up everything i can but on the last dishes the unexpected sour taste prawn kills my stomach and that’s the end of the story. However after the wedding take away Pizza Hut won my heart again and creme back my stomach…..mmmmmmmmmmm. That’ll be the day.

BBQ ride all evening

We kick of at 3pm with long ride via main road towards Sungai Rait before enter the dusty rocky off-road longing trails which took almost an hour plus another 45 minutes a blast into the jungle trails behind Taman Tunku and exit towards Esplanade at full speed cause we can smelll mouth watering BBQ waiting for us at the finish line which we arrived at 5.15pm. We grab ourself some BBQ meat, salads, veges, fishes, carbonate drinks and at the end few bottles of beers. We gather around for chats and some laughs about funny stories, plus some heavy beers few get too carried away and got doze behind the pickup. We spend our happy hours till almost hit 10pm and then we packed for home before we got to much intoxicated with foods and beers. At night it was hot, my body felt so heavy and hot because my tummy all full. What a day. Bbrrrrppppp!!!.....ahhhhhh!!!

Samuel and Grace wedding nights

Congratulation to my cousing for their wedding, whishes them eternal happiness and properity a head. Was very crowded at night held inside community hall. The buffet style food was good for my stomach, veges, meat, rice and drinks. Well i'm pretty full, the next day i woke up late.lol

Silent night 1984.

It nice to be adventurous, young and curious back in the past. Life was like Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Fin. Me and my neighbour always sneak out into the nearby forest led by curiousity and insearch for paranormal truth. I remember vividly in was in 1984 when the electric was cut off accdentally causing houses and streets went off into the dark. Both our mom shouted all over placed to plead usto return back home but we ignored about it. Me and my buddy haste out into the forest behind the house seeking something we believe monsters and ghost behind of very bushy lush forest behind our backyard. We went very deep into dense bushy of tall grass. We then laid our back ontop of the grass for a rest and laid our eyes into the clear dark blue sky in the middle of the night, its was very windy and breezy night and the stars was very white bright, no clouds. The moons lits so bright and when i wake upright to see our huge fields of bushy surroundings its was all luminences blue illumintaing the puffy cotton grass. The city light no longer blinding the moonlight rays by man made lights. It was beautiful.... all puffy blue illuminates like star dust as bit of cotton flew as the wind blew agains the cotton grass in one direction. We remained silence for a few minutes...the suddenly insects began to play their musical forest tune followed by fire flies....tonnes of them. We watch in awe and yet we never doubt something like in fairy tails is if its a normal act of nature because we are too young to filter out reality and stunning even. We just sit there and enjoy the scene like watching everyday fireworks. Beyond the bushy fields of forest our houses remains unlit but visible thanks to the blue moon. We fell on our back against the grass against wathing the star position shift into transition. We never speak much because we just wanna listen the silent night. The symphonic melody of the forest around us, it took minutes to interpret the sound but after few hours i manage to enjoy every tune made by mother nature...something that was taken for granted whenever i viewed from windows of my house when i see the forest. Form there i leaned that if you keep silence nature will revealed its real cover exposing secret of untold, when we listen we learn, when we listen we know and when we listen we experinced and gain knowledge both wonderfull things and vice-versa. As i gotten old things going pretty different but techniques does apply. At an adult state it really paid of the become completely silent, i learned lots of people characteristic, behaviour and how the world evolve around me. But who should i care for because i'm still adventurous seeking for curiosity to fill my happy adventurous need.

Adventure under blue twilight moon.

I didn't expect to happen to be the most hard core ride every which left me cold as dead due to excessive exhaustion. But anyways it was an experience worth jumping into it.

That morning all our mountain biker buddy gather around the cafe table behind the bike shop to plan for our bike trip for this noon. I order some beef noodles, a few cans of coke drinks in the morning and plates of heavy salad chiken rices to fuel up for later ride. So we decided to venture into lonely trails at Marudi cross over jungle trails.

By 3.30pm we reached there and start riding at normal pace. Not much of fast rider around because the hot legs left exhausted at home due to last Saturday lag of competition so not much or rivalry race throughout the journey. By 4.30pm we already deep deep into the jungle already passed the oil palm plantation district. We came across hilly trails and the off-road path become much narrower and more steep as further we go in but expect a loop trails going out exit back to our finishing point by few kilo distance. 5.30pm its getting dark so we choose the nearest trails to exit the open forest and into the path where we begin the most terrifiying up and down the hill ride. We began to decent up and down at high speed hitting lot of dangerous bumps holes and deep ravine. We haven't finished 40% of the trails and one of the rider accidently hit the huge gap of pot holes down the hil and tumble 180 degree fly shoulder first hit a near by boulder beside the hardpacked soild and fracture his shoulder bone wit two bone twigs pike out buldging the skins. The accident happens few centimetre away from me as i'm just right behind him. Luck him i manage to grab his bike which flown direct infront of me quickly grabbed and avoid his bike from pounced againt him. Everyone stopped and helped him to assist medical aid. Being way deep inside the jungle with limited access via normal transportation to reach the injured and the days getting dark we were lucky enough to have a cellphone signal coverage still roaming high and manage to turn our mobile phone to contact several near by rider who are closest to the finishing point to grab a 4 wheeler and drive to the emergency spot. Its 6.pm, days getting darker, several rider have to depart from the location leaving several riders behind to accompany the injured till the 4 wheeler arrive to pick them up but it will take few hours to reached there.
I'd expect it going to be short duration to reach the finishing point making assumption were just going to pass 3 to 4 steep off-road hills in just 1 hours at fast pace. But we were wrong. Heck it was more bizzare ride then ever, after passing several long steep hill climb then going down, the up, down up , down the hill i felt this journey getting endless as if the forest cursing us leading to bogey path, i also spot one of the Miri most highest hill climb ever...seeing the hill stertching way up like 200 storey high was like "holy crap!!! my legs going to explode!"". But nothing much we can do but to continue ride all the way up to exist the hellish forest...using the smallest high torque gear we paced like snail climbing up the hill. I hardly see the path as the sun already sunked behind the horizon...all is blue gloomy light lit well by bright moon and stars. My body was very very cold and stomach getting pretty empty. The sweat getting lest at the muscle almost at cramp level a sign that i'm all 100% heavily exhausted, critically low energey level, food and water. Event we just reached the peak of the hill i can see over the top horizon we have to passed at least 7 more hills climbs to exit to the main dirt road were it exited out from the oil plantation district. Guided by instict and gloomy blue rays of light shines the murky white path i speed though the trails cautionly avoiding the side which i couldn't figure out if its a bush or drak deep ravine. I was behind a guy named William but when i look back behind me there no one follow us except we were both on our own reaching to the finishing point. Others probably left behind clueless or slow down due exhaustion.
i felt time went stand still as we haven't exited the path yet. It was soo dark but the trails still can be seen through naked eyes except i can't differentiate between holes, huge rocks bumps or even huge crack of holes in the middle of the path so i just push my luck speeding down and just follow the guy infront hoping he don't get and bad accident else we;re the one ended stranded in the dark forest.
As we got the feeling geting nearer to the finishing point the sky was getting very clearer, the moon and the star are much brighter like white blue illuminating like diamond something you rarely seen from the city except at country side. Firefly start to blinks its bright lite body like spark of fire or christmas light bulb blinking around the forest flying gently like faries of the forest. Even though i'm tired but i was happy to experience those beautiful sights not many city slickers going to watch it once in a blue moon. Wow!
Few minutes later we reached a huge path that looks like rough open roads judging from the gloomy bright color of the soil under the night sky. Ah! we've reached the main truck road that leads to the exit point. At ETA 35 minutes through long flat and going all the way down the rocky road cautionly we reached our destination as we manage to see bright lights at near by car park just beside the hut. Home!! We reached there and shocked to see its just around 5 people including us hit the finishing spot while it'll take another hours to wait a dozen rider to return in the dark nights. Anyways after long wait everyone gathered completely at almost 8pm greeted with nice cold sweet isotonic drinks to comfort our tired body. Well not everyone in a good shape, another guy just also caught in accident under the dark night as he feel from his bike on the bridge and rip his buttock flesh out...eeeewwww...not going to tell much about it but that's one heck of a Sunday ride.
When i reached home, i took bath, grab my sedan car keys and drive all the way to KFC restaurant and much aways huge packs of dinner plate size fried chicken to flush out my frustration and hunger after the activity drain off my energy, Yaahhhhh, what a meal!

Upgrades here and there.

Thankfully my part-time really takes care of my hooby budget on my radion control. Got few more 3d design project to go and hopefully partial of the funds goes for brushless motor and ESC upgrade for my 1/18 for up coming preparation for local race especially drift event and sprint. Yesterday i bought a new body shell a HONDA CIVIC Type-R for my NRX-18 1/18 and a replacement parts for the motor mount. I called it investment for my hobby later for resale value. The today received my mini-z parts from overseas supplier mainly on drive terrain parts and differential which worn out pretty fast, My days full of active life outside my home at least avoid me from brain dead which reminds me when was the ;ast time i watch television or movie. Man outdoors never knows what is home entertainment. I spent more time hanging out at night with other R/C enthusiast since i already moded my r/c models with lights which makes it fun to drive at night.
