Adventures n Misadventures

"Men must be strong enough to know when he is weak, brave enough to encounter fear, dignified and having moral courage in honest defeat, humble and gentle in victory"

Greetings everyone!
I'm the type of person who lives by da day. Mostly forgets events almost instantly unless it sumhow has a significant impact. Even so, these memories will be shadows in an instant. Kind of what you call "cloudy". Which is why i like to keep photos (stangely i dun really like to take photos of myself), i like da surprise/shocking feelin as i brouse through the photos, n memories flashes in my mind! Things i did but forgoten. People whom i met. Places where i've been.

So today i'd like to share with the world wat a small adventure i had and a misadventure that lead to my injury!
Few mths back, after getting my class 2a license i was tempted to upgrade my bike but the thought of waiting fer class 2 was more practical at that point of time. I wasn't craving for speed nor touring. I wanted to do smtg diff frm da guys. i wanted to learn in depth true control and manuveres on 2wheels. Coincidentally a fren was letting go his KTM LC4, a 400cc 4 stroker also known as thumper, mean machine with da weight of a horse!! This old bird is more den 10 yrs old but flies like vrrrrroooommmmm....hehehe

So i told da guy i'll get ur bike only if ur willing to teach me to trail!!! He's dwn grading to a more powerful evil 250cc 2-stroker. Dats when da adventure began! Scray as it is, da height, da weight da POWER da SOUND!!! Wicked!!!

I still remember da 1st trip to plentong, at jb, GOSH HOW MANY TIMES I FELL!! not to mention HARD!!! Further to da spice it was raining! imagine da slipperyness!!
Painful as it is, its worth it! I got home my whole body aches like f%$&!!! I couldnt move wifout feelin da pain!!

Fer those who haf no idea wat nonsense i'm tokin abt, i took up trailin in da forest or rather plantation sumwhere in jb. Not by foot but on dirt wheels! Basically i learnt to handle da bike on difficult n slippery situations..untill...my last trip, on da way to kota tinggi via dirt, i crashed hard while evading from my friend! My right foot sumhow got stuck to da dirt while flyin off. It was over den. I was in agony. I noe it aint a fracture coz i had some b4..I got myself together n tighten my boots to minimise da pain.

I got hm safely, opened my boots, to my surprise, my foot doubled its size right before my eyes! In my heart, "mati..mati..mati.."hahaha..Got to da poly, den to da hospital..bla..bla..bla..i got a ligament tear! DEY WANTED TO PUT SREWS IN MY FOOT!! So, i disappeared! hehehe..Currently learnin to adapt to my new foot. On n off it hurts lah.. Takdir ;)

Hear are sum of the photos..enjoy
