Just Hang On and Suffer Well.


Everything seems to be going very well as planned until the weekend arrives. Again I had another 'did not start' for the Yamaha SL Cup. This time its about the team can't sho
w up during the race. I got the message just a few hours before the race started. Lucky for me I didn't travel long miles to the circuit and end up being a spectator. I was dissapointed of course about that. I was really looking forward to it after a smooth practice session on Friday(I used a rental kart rather than my own =( ) . 2 DNSs' in a row huh? Thats bad, thats 80's 90's F1 bad. I was not satisfied with the treatment from my team itself apart from the coach and my mechanic. I was neglected, ignored and basically because I paid for their services thats why they seem 'nice' to me. Even if I want to search for another team, its too expensive and it'll be a hectic work to transport the kart itself. I offered from my friend's team as well and its maybe worth considering since I maybe be the only driver for the team and the team manager and the mechanics have a lot of potential to make me even fight for championship :\ . The only thing that bothered me though, was the budget itself. I'd need more funds to fund myself for the upcoming races. So the my question is...should I stay or should I go?

I also made my desicion to sell my Swiss Hutless Magic kart. I haven't used that kart before and since its a bother to own it without using it might as well selling it. Its RM6k including the engine. Do leave a comment if you're interested in that kart. I'm also considering a new kart(if I have the money though). It's the new Tony Kart Racer EVR, it'll cost pretty much like EVXX but since I have my own engine, it'll be cheaper to buy. I posted some pictures of the new EVR so hope you'll enjoy it ;)

Last Sunday I also participated a snooker tournament at One Snooker Club. Its my first tournament in 8 years and boy am I rusty. I won once but eventually I lost to Kevin Kwan. Sweet revenge eh Kevin? I remember I won the last time we met at the tournament and lost out to his sister(I had to give her 60 points). However, its not the end of the world y'know. I'll practicing more to honed my skills and get my head back to the game.

This probably the highlight of the week. I went to a fancy restaurant in Ampang called Il Tempio with a friend. The reason I'm there because I was just wanted to try what are they serving for the Malaysian Intl Gourmet Festival. It was ok, good starters but so-so mains. I really loved the Beef Carpaccio and the Foie Gras soup. The soup had truffles in it but I don't really know how to appreciate truffles. Truffles in my opinion its an expensive way to have gas in your body. I posted some pictures of the lovely restaurant as well. Hope you enjoy it =)
