Under the Sun? -charred skin

 Hey guys, it the last day of January, and following the tradition i had to make an update to what i am up to for this month. Actually..i was planning not to post this update as the project was far from completion and there's alot to be done.

but i dont really feel like letting the january issue pass on as well. So, here we go..

So the pass weeks of holiday i have been spending my time on this..yep a DIY badminton court just right at the side of my house. haha talk bout anti-climatic reveal.

Anyways, Its something i;ve been itching to do for a very long time but just cant seem to find the time and motivation to do it.

but since it will be another long wait for my next big holiday.. (internship is going to eat up next sem break. i told myself that it is finally time to bring the idea to life). Its now or never! >: (

Its not the most accurate court in the world.. but its close enough and i am happy with it =)

Drawing the line is a messy job involving part scientific calculation and part spontaneous guessing game.

oh well, i tried my best to follow the diagram (googled in 3 sec) and i guess it wont be too off. (i hope)

 even the net poles are DIY as well, thiss would be my first time working with cement.

Beside the court, i am also making a few new addition to the royal court yard in the form of more tables, chairs even some drain cover (as the court is nearing completion i realise that there's a prolbem of shuttle cock falling into the drain, which is always a bummer)

Then two days ago, my uncle saw me working around the house and decided to picth in a little bit after i told him about the problem of dwindling supply of material namely wood.

He tells of a place where those precious material were abundant and is just waiting around to be harvest and it's just too hard for me to resist.

 So, i tailed my uncle on his motorcycle with my father's hilux deep into the oil palm estate for a good 10min form my uncle house and.. he wasn't kidding, as soon as we arrive there's really lots of logs laying around.

So we immediately get to work. We both agree that it would be nice to make some stump seats out of them.

But we could't get on our mind on how high they would be....

Luckily i read from somewhere that supposely the most comfortable and ideal sitting positon was to have your thigh and calf 90degree away from each other, lol.. the internet..

so, i whip out my measuring tape to measure my knee height. which turns out to be 50cm... probably not the best specimen due to obvious reason ~.~

So finally we agree on 40cm and we loaded the truck until it could take no more. (greed..~.~)

Man on work..>=)

So while we were at his place my uncle show me his atv, and i was like, : holy crap, i had to ride it o_o

its was fun, its like a bike with a reverse gear, but its just so hard to shift down the gear because u need to hook the crank up on the side of the bike with your feet manually.

2 week of full sun explosure certainly take a toll on my usually flawless complexion -o-

as my skin grow darker and darker i also look more and more malay lol 

(i really get that alot from ppl) 

At the back is Alexander my mixed blood cousin brother who decided to tag along.

 

Here's that little brat again. lol

Its kinda bumpy in the estate way but i can see it being a really fun ride on the beach.

Maybe someday i will get myself one of this? 

Back at home.. my brother was like wtf are you going to do with these? o_O

There goes the front half my holiday, stay tuned for the febuary update ^^

And oh, happy new year =)
