Drift and the Rain

On my way home today, drove quite fast. West side drizzling, road was wet. Car was wobbly. Mayb I wasn't in the right frame of mind. I took the corner from Brickland Road into CCK ave3 @ 60-100kmph (not sure of speed. I started braking from 100kmph, but only turned into corner a little later). I don't know why, but I didn't release my brake at all. My tires locked up, and I skidded like mad. Luckily at 40kmph, just before bumping the traffic light, I released the brakes abit, and car snapped out of the skid. I applied a little acceleration and managed to crawl to the next traffic light.
Zzz.. my thought process just froze. didn't react at all. I'm disappointed with myself. Luckily nothing happened. Twisted my wrist abit too holding the steering wheel in a very awkward position through that turn.
Bowled at Mt Faber SAFRA before this. out of 6 games, had two 20X games. one 200, one 202. I'm happy :) It's been quite awhile since I got scores like that. But, my release is super inconsistent with my new drilling. Need more practise.
Rain. When travelling at 100+kmph and hitting a puddle of water, the effect of water resistence is felt alot more. Must remember that. Was travelling along Jurong Town Hall road. Just past the Science Centre omw to Bt Batok Rd le when I hit a big puddle while travelling on the right most lane. The puddle slows the speed of the right side of my car relative to the left, causing my car to veer towards the right. Almost went up the curb wor haha. Lucky I reacted to that in time.
Don't know why I didn't travel slower. Mayb coz I wanted to get home faster. But I think it's coz.. I juz felt everything was going so slow. 90-110kmph felt.. normal =,='"

Sleep,

If only I could drift my car as well as I drift through life . . .
Ah well. I'm a safe driver. I SWEARZZzzz.

I feel tired. I lack direction, energy, motivation in life. I hope that will change.
And yet, I hope it won't. Life feels so serene now.

Addicted to drifting

I'm getting the hang of driving fast. I've gotten used to gliding around corners. Gotten my kicks tailgating on the expressway. I'm dangerous. I've been bad.

Practise spots:
1) NUS Carpark 15. when entering from opposite law link, the left turn will take you to a curved "U-turn". A gradual turn at 30km/h, because of the downslope, it's hard to go any faster than that without finding your things flying about in the car. With drift, you can smoothly glide past this curve at >50km/h. i've tried entering this at about 40+km/h. will try pushing 50 one day... and hope that i'm alert enough to not cause any harm to anybody ha!
2) Brickland road. Coming from Bukit Gombak. At the first bend, you can take it with no brake no acceleration at 80-90km/h with little difficulty. tried and tested today at 100-110km/h. with drift. nearly kena curb rofl! i turned too much =p but quite smooth. will not try again with cars beside me like today. too dangerous haha.
3) Choa Chu Kang Ave 3/5. Turning into my house. Standard 60km/h attempted drift. ditto in carpark at 40km/h (because of humps)
4) Multi-story Carpark. Today I cleared the entry to the ramp going down by drifting in at 40km/h. barely passed the near concrete barrier haha. very excited because this one can really feel the drift. too bad the ramp is very steep. cannot control if i continue drift down ramp haha. so i straighten out and brake normally to turn out NORMALLY from the ramp haha. now I understand how it feels to be a Drift King (DK) in Fast n' Furious: Tokyo Drift hahaa ;p

Now I really feel like testing my drifting skills. Find me a empty place where I can test out skills haha! too bad Singapore haven't constructed a race circuit. Else I'll use it to test my drifting skills HAHA ;p

p.s. drift not like initial D drift. mine only for split second at the beginning, to create a abrubt shift in direction. that allows me to use the G-force normally exerted on the bodies within the car to counter balance the shift in the car to produce a smoother ride around a bend.
p.p.s. I don't drive fast nor drift when I have passengers in the car (with one or two incidents as exceptions). Even if you wanna sit in, I won't let you. It's against my social conscience and responsibility to put anyone's lives at risk except mine. HAHA... so hypocrite right?? If you beg me, then maybe....
