In Between The End and The Begining

So thats the reason why i stopped skating..i had been transported to a different country..a country that i'm not familiar with..different streets, diff people, diff sounds, diff weather and of course different culture..i was pretty quiet for the first year being back in Malaysia..cause i wasn't any good in Malay..i didn't understand alot of the student at my new Malay school were saying..i was so bad at Malay that one day in class the teacher started to right sumthing on the blackboard..from my observation, it looked like a lot of question so i'm guessing its some sort of a test or sumthing..on top of those question she underline the word "ujian"..being bad as i was in Malay i tried to read it out as possible as i can..i know a few words in Malay because sometimes my parent do talk to us or to each other in Malay for the reason that they didn't want their children to forget the Malay language..so slowly saying to myself i pronounce it exactly like this..'uhjan'..and i looked outside of the class room and i saw it was starting to rain..and i thought to myself do teacher's give out test every time it rains in this country..from that day i was always terrified when it rains..


Anywayss...Transferred to alot of school in my time before i started skating again..the only reason why I'd stop in the first place was that i didn't know that were any skaters in Malaysia..i only found out when i was in high school form three..thats when the boards came in a different shape..abit pelik (weird) for me to adapt with..but when i started to learn to do tricks on it, it got to me how easy it was with this new shape skateboards..it wasn't fish boards anymore..both side had concaves..concaves mean the tail and the nose of the boards..it was more comfortable popping on the tails to do the tricks..i felt like that missing part was reappearing back into my life again..

I skated with a few of the boys who was really into these sports too..how lucky i was to have met them..for they were the guys who made my love for skateboarding even more..big it up for poppeye, lan tailslide (coz he was good in frontside tailslide) and yuz..thank you from the bottom of my heart..for a kid who came from a normal family..and when i say normal, i mean a not perfect family..my life was meaningful again..i didn't care shit if i wasn't doing the same stuff as the other kids..partying, playing games at the arcade,jerking off (HAHAHA) or like having a gurlfriend or what not..i was happy being able to skate EVERYDAY..

I remember the first time i landed a kick flip..it was the best feeling ever..i mean to do it properly..it felt like ur first glance of your new born baby..it was a very emotional feeling for me..and i still feel the same way every time i land a new trick to this day..yes for 27 years old i'm proudly to say that i'm still reaping it..for people who skates would know what a kick flip is..but for those who don't then let me explain..its a trick where u flip your skateboard to your left...hmmm..actually i really don't know how to explain it..but if u youtube it im sure u will get a better picture..



So thats when i started skating again till to this day..i hope i still can skate for another ten years atleast..cause one of the 'has to do list' of mine is to build a mini indoor skatepark when i get my own house..now living in malaysia, well thats not cheap..one list is already hard to maintain but when ur married..then u automatically have two list's..one is yours and the other is ur wife's list..hahahahahahah...just kidding sayang..
