I'm not a person who speaks a lot but a person who thinks a lot.
Maybe that's part of being an introvert.
Emotions have been riding on a roller coaster recently *sigh*
So let's post something on instagram to change it the other way! *fake a smile n chin up!*

Let's move on to today's limelight! Gymkhana!
This was my first time to a Gymkhana event actually.. Hence, it's better to let Wiki tell you what Gymkhana is..
.
That's how they do it I guess..
but of course, it's just getting familiar with the track first before doing the real thing I guess..
.
.
Anyway, nothing beats watching it live! Especially when the car drifts!
Still, I did not stay to watch the real thing going on after all the warming up! Yesh, the 2nd video is also recorded during the warming up session. Had to get back home for last year's Christmas eve gathering! Now, that sounds so long ago, right? But it's only last month!
Apparently, it's usually always on open air tracks so this kind of makes it the first time done underground (if I'm no mistaken? =X )
Last, thanks Aaron for introducing Gymkhana.
It was a fun experience watching! :D
and last of all the last! Just want to share this awesome picture with you guys!

I think it looks so much like a unicorn's rainbow fart!!! ;P *opps* that sounds really impolite~ but it's so preeety! :D

Let's move on to today's limelight! Gymkhana!
This was my first time to a Gymkhana event actually.. Hence, it's better to let Wiki tell you what Gymkhana is..
Gymkhana (Hindi: जिमख़ाना, Bengali: জিমখানা, Urdu: جِمخانہ) is an Indian term which originally referred to a place of assembly. The meaning then altered to denote a place where skill-based contests were held. "Gymkhana" is an Anglo-Indian expression, which is derived from thePersian and Urdu word "Jamat-khana".[1] Most gymkhanas have a Gymkhana Club associated with them, a term coined during British Rajfor gentlemen's club.
In India, the term gymkhana is commonly used to refer to a gymnasium. More generally, gymkhana refers to a social and sporting club in the Indian subcontinent, and in other Asian countries including Malaysia, Thailand, Burma and Singapore, as well as in East Africa.
In English-speaking countries, a gymkhana refers to a multi-game equestrian event performed to display the training and talents of horses and their riders. The plot of the children's story "The Mystery of the Invisible Thief" by Enid Blyton begins at a gymkhana held at an English village, testifying to its being a common institution in English society at the time of writing (the 1940s).
Ops, pardon me! I think I've got the wrong Gymkhana! Gymkhana may actually refer to (1) Gymkhana, the core of a social and sporting club in India and other Asian countries, (2) Gymkhana (equestrian), an equestrian competition, (3) Gymkhana (motorcycle), a motorcycle time trial round cones on a paved area or (4) Gymkhana (motorsport), an event also known as "car rodeo" which I am actually referring to day.
According to Wiki;
Gymkhana is a type of motorsport practiced in an increasing number of countries. Similar to autocross, gymkhana courses are often very complex and memorizing the course is a significant part of achieving a fast time. The name is loaned from the equestrian discipline of gymkhana.
Gymkhana events are time and/or speed events in an automobile. These can feature obstacles such as cones, tires, and barrels. The driver must maneuver through a predetermined "track" performing many different driving techniques. What separates gymkhana from traditional autocross events is that the gymkhana requires drivers to perform reversals, 180 degree spins, 360 degree spins, parking boxes, figure 8s, and other advanced skills. Drifting is also encouraged where helpful or necessary. Essentially, a gymkhana is any event featuring a starting point, a finish line and some sort of "obstacle" to get through, around, or by, all within a certain time limit.

Now that you have actually understand what it is, let's just enjoy the show! :D

that's actually just warming up to the track :D

Now, get ready for the real thing! The sound of motorsport adrenaline rush !
**advised to lower down volume before hitting the play button**
.
That's how they do it I guess..
.
and lastly, this car that looks like it's just strolling at the park. No drifting needed to pass through all the obstacles! Pretty much effortless, yea?
but of course, it's just getting familiar with the track first before doing the real thing I guess..
