Drag Day!

Today i woke with a great big smile on my face. Why you might want to ask? Surely i will tell but you will just have to be patient a little bit while i tell my story of this very awkward day. So sit back on your chair and start staring at the monitor. Well not too close now, don't want you to get near sighted eh? hehehe... :P

Wonderful morning it was today. Couldn't have say so myself. It is just a bright sunny morning on a beautiful Sunday. Ah, bliss? A bit. Woke up and did my normal morning stuff consisting of making my bed, going to the toilet and so on. Called by the superior one of the family to go to the dining table for some delicious breakfast. Food is always the great thing for a growling stomach. Went down and ate with me family and then it was laundry time. Typical Sunday morning? Definitely but that doesn't answer the smile on my face eh? How sharp you guys are. Wanting to know the reason is definitely behind your head now isn't it? Just to make you guys wait a little longer...

Me is so happy today is because drag race is today! *Jump around and JUMP JUMP JUMP* Oh yeah! Cars with highly tuned engine had all gather here in Miri today just for the drag race competition. Nice! Since we only have it once every year, it is an event that all motor fanatics cannot miss. Speaking of which, my friends are like already there in the morning just so you know how they love cars. I wasn't there that early because i had church. God comes first you know! :D But right after church was i excited! I quickly messaged my friend and ask where are they at that moment and know what my friend said? Watching drag la! Where are you? Why so late oh? Based on that reply, i guess you know that i was being scolded eh? hahaha... oh well, at least i was still there right? :P

The morning weather was very promising as it was so very sunny and since it rained yesterday evening, it wouldn't possibly rain today right? So that was in the thought of mine as i was driving home from church to quickly change and drive to the location where the drag competition is being held. It was quite hot too and you could actually cook an egg on the floor if you wanted to. My brother wanted to bring an umbrella but we didn't had any so we just took a cap. Soon dashing to the competition. Lots of cars. Parking was hard to find if i had gone inner but i knew about that so i just had the liberty of parking far far away from the location and just walked in. Far it was. Should had parked nearer. So went with a bottle of water on my hand and looked for my friends.

As me and my brother went into the grounds of drag, many people could be seen and lots of cars could be heard. Loud they were those highly tuned cars. The time that i actually went was about lunch break. So the racers were actually testing their cars by burning tires and doing some laps on the race track. That took my interest cause they were burning until smoke came out from the tires. Smelly. Really smelly! I am just glad the wind came at the right time blowing at the right direction which is opposite of where i was standing while looking like an idiot. Can't blame me what! It's not everyday you see this kind of high powered car on normal days on the streets. Some aren't even legal on the streets! Strictly for competition only cause i saw some cars without any road tax. So being an idiot for this day is worth it no? Well, i know i am an idiot but this kind of idiot is different! HMPH! hahaha...

Met up with my friends soon after the testing was done. My friends were all eating and having their lunch cause they didn't want to leave as getting around would be almost impossible with the amount of cars stacked there. Everyone under an umbrella and cupboard boxes for seats. Wouldn't you say this is like a picnic? Well, the drain was in front of us and you could say it was almost perfect. Good thing the drain did not omit any powerful odor! I brought sunflower seeds. Just so i can munch on something as i waited. My other friends brought more stuff to chew on. Pringles, buns, biscuits, some sour thing which is all colored in orange, and lots more. Watching drag while having a picnic. FUN! hahaha... Being under the blazing sun kind of made it hard to watch but i guess that is why the umbrellas are putted up! hahaha... But it still managed to shine on me. Roar!

Thankfully the clouds decided to crash the party. We were very happy as the clouds decided to cover the powerful rays of the sunshine. By then, you could just see all the umbrellas close and all human faces were visible. Lots of wind to cool us down too but that wouldn't be a surprise as the location is quite near a beach. That would also explain the sunburn on our faces and hands. Salty air makes it easier to get barbecued! hahaha... All was good until suddenly the clouds decided it is time to close the party. You guessed it! It started raining. Thus all the colorful umbrella pops into the air once again. Everyone ducked for cover under the umbrella. It was the end. Or maybe? It suddenly stopped. Rain stopped and everyone was relieved. So went back to the place and waited for the race to begin. Just as the race was about to begin, heavy big droplets of water came pouring. Everyone started running to their car. We began to pack up and also headed for our four wheeled machine.

Just when we reached the main entrance of the drag camp, it stopped raining again. We were like thinking, is this rain playing with us or something? So we decided to stay again and wait if the race is going to begin. If i didn't remember wrong, one race initiated and then the heavy rain started pouring again. This time it was pouring for good. This rain forced all of us to run to our car but to my dismay, i parked so far away. So i decided to go to my friend's car which is much nearer to drive me to my car. By this time, i was already soaked by the rain and the blowing winds. Cold i was and shivering was what i was doing. My teeth actually chatted! haha... Really cold. The cap that i brought? All wet through. Roads were half flooded and my whole body and pants were soaked. Basically dragging my own attire. Woohoo for dragness! hahaha...

That was basically about the day that i had at the event. Fun and wet. Thought it wouldn't rain but it rained anyways! hahaha... Weather is such an unpredictable power. Sunny morning, rainy evening. What a wonderful day. Oh, my car got soaked a little bit too as i left the windows a little opened. Drove back in a cold car. Had to on the air conditioning cause or else the windscreen will fog up. So once i reached home, took a nice warm shower. Just thanked God i wasn't sick! haha... Another day at drag~ :D
